[@Bloodreign1]

The game that determines difficulty by how long you survive, a rank system, the longer you survive, the harder it gets. No home port of this game retained the original arcades difficulty as they used a different rank system from this one. Needless to say arcade operators had to be happy with this choice as it kicked people off the machines pretty quickly. This version also only gives out so many free lives, after you hit a quota, the game gives you no more.

[@XelchanTheBrave]

Bloodreign1 Interesting! I guess all home versions use difficulties from 0(or was it 1?) to 9? What about the other Parodius games? Did they have this type of difficulty in the arcades?

[@Bloodreign1]

No, they were a bit easier, looks like Konami used a different difficulty system for them. I do wish the PS1/Saturn ports of Parodius Da had the arcade difficulty as a hidden option, but alas, it wasn't meant to be.

[@masteroftacos666]

yeah and its so damn tricky some hit boxes are just too wack its just a hardcore spaceship games or a beautifull pachinko coin eater

[@awokai]

Thank god I've read your comment. First I played Parodius on Game Boy (which was pretty possible even with the hardest difficulty). After that, I tried the Super Nintendo Version, which has few more stages than the Game Boy Version. I beated it on difficulty 7 (the highest difficulty you can configure. After you beat it on 7, you will unlock difficulty 8). Difficulty 8 I didn't try to be honest, because I saw the Arcade Version. So far, so good. Of course I do NOT use any savestates, when I play games! Now what, I tried the Arcade Version and at first, I thought: "when I beated the game on Super Nintendo on difficulty 7, the Arcade Version would be easier or at least not harder". Well, the first stages were like difficulty 2... after each stage I realized, that the enemies themselfes are shooting more often and move faster. I got until Stage 8 but than after so many Coins and tries (guess I tried over 3 hours), I gave up. Some scenes were just IMPOSSIBLE to beat, because the checkpoints were tricky. When you die, you will respawn in the last checkpoint with 0 weapon. So you are immediately in the chaos where all of the enemies come, and you don't have the time to collect Power Ups. Your first try is your only chance, to beat the hardest checkpoints, because you have all of these Power Ups. When you die, it's over because you respawn all the time in a bad checkpoint, where you are in middle of the stage and all of the Power Ups are gone. You can not start over the Stage itself, you are just stuck in that checkpoint. I gave up, this is where the challenge ended and the unfairness began, which will make frustration.

[@ArcadeFan77]

And when the game was too difficult, no one wanted to play it and the machine only used electricity. Finally, the salon owner changed the game.

[@segasonic9117]

I love this game and the Parodius series to bits! This was one of my favourite and most played SuFami games I owned back in the day, it still is one of the most played. Just as I put sooooo many hours into the Gokujou Parodius Da!! Deluxe Pack on the Saturn in 1995. I still play that game all the time too! Strange thing though, I could swear that the Fugu boss stage was not in the Deluxe Pack. I thought it was a SuFami exclusive stage, I guess not! The music in Gokujou is some of the best ever made! It's a shame this series died with 32-BIT. Those games on the 360 are fucking shit compared to the Parodious games and it is an insult for them to be called "spiritual successors", bah!

[@XelchanTheBrave]

A Shaw Screw anyone who calls Otomedius a successor to Parodius. One is a funny and colorful tribute to Gradius. The other is a boring otaku cashgrab trying to be nostalgic.
