Parasol Stars: The Story of Bubble Bobble III ☔🌈

Pick up your parasol and parachute through the skies!

Calling all the fans of the Bubble Bobble franchise! 🌟 After more than three decades, the beloved duo, Bubby and Bobby, return in the legendary title “Parasol Stars: The Story of Bubble Bobble III” digitally* on Nintendo Switch, XBOX, and PlayStation 4/5.

 

☔🌈 “Parasol Stars: The Story of Bubble Bobble III” is a classic platformer developed by TAITO that first graced the gaming scene in 1991. As a sequel to Rainbow Islands and the third installment in the legendary Bubble Bobble series, it recaptured the magic and charm that delighted fans worldwide. While it never made its way to arcades, it instead captivated players on home consoles, such as PC Engine and TurboGrafx, and home computers like the Amiga. Now, it’s time to relive the excitement as “Parasol Stars” makes its triumphant return to modern platforms!

In this captivating platformer by TAITO, players follow the adventures of two brothers, Bubby and Bobby, who embark on a mission to save their neighboring planets from an evil menace. Instead of shooting bubbles, they are now armed with colorful, dazzling parasols with magical powers. These parasols are also used to shield against enemy attacks, stun foes or unleash a torrent of high-scoring stars! “Parasol Stars” is loaded with power-ups that could mean the difference between a sweet win or a crushing defeat! Toss a bomb and blast your enemies to smithereens, or freeze time with a clock that’s all yours to command. But don’t get too comfy, or Death will sneak up on you and swipe one of your precious lives! Harness the power of the parasol and show off your skills in this epic adventure!

Features:

  • ⭐ Addictive arcade-style gameplay of the Bubble Bobble franchise
  • ⭐ Cute cast of iconic characters, each with their unique charm and abilities.
  • ⭐ Creative and clever game mechanics with magical parasols: shield, stun, and unleash stars.
  • ⭐ More Parasols! Enjoy the tactical depth of the action-filled 2-Player Co-op
  • ⭐ A cosmic journey with 8 vibrant planets (and 2 secret bonus levels) to save
  • ⭐ Nostaligic homage to Chack’n Pop, one of the early platform games.
  •  

Get ready to glide through colorful planets with your magical parasol at the end of 2023! 🪐
