PlayStation 4/5 & Nintendo Switch
Parasol Stars: The Story of Bubble Bobble III is a classic platformer developed by TAITO and originally released in 1991 on the PC Engine and TurboGrafx-16.
It is the third installment in the popular Bubble Bobble series, known for its charming characters and addictive gameplay.
Players follow the adventures of two dragon brothers, Bubby and Bobby, who have now taken on their human forms.
Some fans may recall that the two protagonists regained their human forms at the end of Bubble Bobble. Now, they embark on a mission to save their neighboring planets from an evil menace.
Instead of shooting bubbles, they are now armed with colorful parasols with magical powers.
These parasols are also used to shield against enemy projectiles, stun enemies or just line them up and throw one into the mix for even bigger highscores.
There are Standard Limited Editions and Special Limited Editions. The latter come with:

- special limited edition box
