Parodius is a horizontal scrolling shooter where players control one of four distinct aircraft, each with unique armaments. The structure requires completing seven stages, with a boss encounter concluding each one.
While the core gameplay involves progressing through all levels to reach the final stage, players have the option to select their starting point. The title draws its primary inspiration from the Gradius series, incorporating additional elements from other shoot-em-up games.
