Parasol Stars is an unreleased NES prototype of the classic arcade-style platformer, often considered the third chapter in the Bubble Bobble series. While the NES port was ultimately cancelled before official release, this beta allows you to play as Bubby on a quest to save neighboring planets using his magical umbrella.
How to play
Your objective is to clear each stage of enemies by stunning them with your umbrella, tossing them, or collecting water droplets to unleash elemental attacks. Since this is an NES game, the controls in the browser are mapped to your keyboard: use the Arrow Keys to move, Z to deploy your parasol or throw enemies, X to jump, and Enter for Start.
Tips
A deployed umbrella can shield you from enemy projectiles falling from above. You can also catch water drops on your umbrella to build up powerful screen-clearing magic attacks.
