Parasol Stars Screen Shots

Parasol Stars is a Platforming game available on the RETRO. It can be played in Competitive modes.

Parasol Stars is a Platforming game. Platform games task you with getting from point A to point B. The world you journey through is usually based on different levels, and populated with enemies, switches and lifts to be negotiated. As you work through each level you pick up various collectables that accrue score, special abilities and access to hidden areas.

Parasol Stars can be played in a Competitive mode. Competitive Multiplayer games provide experiences where players compete against each other and the computer. Obviously lending itself to sports and team games, these competitive engagements have also dominated the shooting and fighting genres because of the direct combat and expertise involved in each. Although these games were originally played in a split screen style, more recently they are played online via services such as PlayStation Network, Xbox Live and the Nintendo Wireless Connection.

The simple premise was that two dinosaurs had to clear each level by blowing bubbles to capture enemies and then popping them. Rainbow Islands followed this up with a similarly inspired mechanic involving Rainbows that could be collapsed on enemies heads to do away with them.
