"Star Parodier" is a shoot 'em up developed by Hudson Soft for the PC Engine CD-ROM. It is a parody of the "Star Soldier" series, similar to Konami's "Parodius" series, and was originally only released in Japan, though it was also intended to be released in North America under the name "Fantasy Star Soldier".

The game was later released outside Japan through the Wii Virtual Console in Europe on May 16, 2008, after a re-release in its home country. It was finally released in North America on August 11, 2008. [ [http://www.vc-reviews.com/news/2008/08/usa_vc_releases_star_parodier_and_break_in USA VC Releases: Star Parodier and Break In] ]

Overview

"Star Parodier" is a vertical scrolling shooter, much like the "Star Soldier" games, and features many of the same conventions, such as collecting power-ups to upgrade the player's weapons, and facing several bosses and minibosses as they progress through the game. The game also features the 2 and 5 minute high score time attack modes seen in previous games.

However, in parodying the hard sci-fi atmosphere of the "Star Soldier" games, "Star Parodier" takes a light hearted approach by featuring cute, cartoonish graphics and toning down the violence (for example, defeated enemies wave white flags in surrender). [ [http://www.vc-reviews.com/games/tg16/star_parodier Star Parodier (TurboGrafx-16) review] ] The players choose from one of three craft to play as in the game: the Paro Ceaser from "Star Soldier", a giant flying Bomberman or an anthropomorphic PC Engine console that shoots HuCards and CD-ROMs at enemies.
