Parasol Stars: The Story of Bubble Bobble III is the third installment of the renowned Taito franchise, Bubble Bobble. It continues the story in Rainbow Islands as its direct sequel, becoming a household name for the most bubbly Bubble Bobble fans. First released in 1991 on PC Engine, Parasol Stars was then ported to a few third gen consoles like Atari ST, Amiga, GameBoy and Nintendo Entertainment System… until finally making its way to modern Xbox consoles.
In this final chapter of the rainbow trilogy, heroic brothers, Bubby and Bobby, set out on a quest to save the galaxy from the clutches of evil! Chaostikhan, the main antagonist, has wrought havoc on the galaxy, stealing color from all the neighboring planets. Play as Bubby and Bobby (also known as our favorite loveable dragons, Bub and Bob, but human) and jump and glide throughout the universe armed with magic parasols, collecting items, propelling enemies and restoring color one planet at a time.
This faithful Xbox port features everything you once loved about the game. A beautifully colorful array of enemies, bountiful power-ups and dazzling parasols with magic powers, while also incorporating a few quality-of-life options to improve the gaming experience.
Go at it alone or grab a friend for some old-fashioned couch co-op action! Hop around from planet to planet and beat all seven rounds of each of the eight base worlds! And surprise! Two additional secret worlds can be unlocked to face Chaostikhan himself and reach the true ending of the game.
Well? What are you waiting for? Everyone’s counting on you to bring back color to the galaxy!
