Introduction --------------- Greed. Lust. Power. Penguins. This is the 4th (and final? Let's hope not!) Parodius game. It was ported to the Saturn and PSX from the arcade version. Make sure to read my review at GameFaqs for more information. (If you haven't already, that is.) V1.2 - 6/19/2001 - Added lots of things... I'll add more detailed walkthroughs and info on the weapons ASAP... V1.1 - 1/5/2001 - Added a ton of things. V1.0 - 1/3/2001 - FAQ is finally finished. 2. Characters ------------- Meet the wonderful and wacky heroes of Sexy Parodius! All new characters and your all-time favorites are here! (All characters have speed up and the worthless OH! option!) The Gradius Spaceships: Vic Viper and Lord British Missile Double Laser Option Force Field The Penguins: Ivan and Toby Iwatobi Missile Iwatobi Shot Bound Shot Option PentarouX The Return of the beauty bunny bombshells!: Hikaru and Akane Hawkwind Spread Bomb Carrot Formation Option Star Those Wacky Fish: Mambo and Samba Bubble Missile Control Laser Screw Laser Search Laser Barrier The Angelic Pigs: Micheal and Gabriel Strong Missile Wave Laser Round Shot Grade Up Aura The Stick Figures: Koitsu and Aitsu Koitsu Missile K Shot K Way K Power K Barrier The Shapeshiftin' Konami-not-Compile Puyo-Being things: Option and Multiple Koitsu Modoki Gabriel Modoki Thunder Cross Modoki Sonoba Power Sonoba Barrier The Shooting Star Space Ships (Try saying that 5 times fast!): Shooting Star and Black Viper Auto Option Wide Blast Spark Laser Black Power Psycho Field Items: Red Pod - Increases bottom weapon bar by one. Blue Pod - Kills Minor enemies of the screen. Yellow Bell - gives 500 points, keep grabbing them to get more points. (2nd bell worth 1000, then 2500, then 5000, and finally 10000 pts!) Blue Bell - Bomb. You can have up to 3. Red Bell - KIKU Beam. Shoots out a vertical laser to protect you from enemies and projectiles. Green Bell - Big. Turns you into a giant and makes you invincible for a limited time. You can't grab bells while in this mode. Purple Bell - Turns enemies into Pods or Bells. White Bell - Summons Alex! The Lustful Pac-Man-like Alex - Each player can have his/her own Alex: Grab more white bells to increase his HP and abilities. Grab Yellow to recover his lost HP. Just don't let him fight female enemies ;) 3. Options ---------- After pressing start on the anime sequence, you'll be at the title screen: I. 1P start II. 2P start III. Options IV. (Empty Space) I. 1p Start ----------- Start a one player game! Auto - Game chooses weapons for you (including speed-ups), but you can start in the same place where you died and you can get 5 bells. Auto-Manual - Game gives you the best weapons, but you can choose your own (ie. Game gives you Micheal's Round Shot, but you want the Wave Laser instead.) When you die, you start close to where you died. Manual - You choose your own weapons, but when you die you must start near where you died. II. 2p Start ------------ Unlike the Super Famicom Parodius games, 2 players MUST play at the same time (simultaneous). The 2 player mode has many different things than the one-player mode: - If 2 players are playing at the same time, and one or both people choose auto-manual or manual, you can start at the same place where you died and you'll still be able to choose your weapons. - When the 2 players get close to each other, they can shoot out a various weapon. Consult the instructions for the chart on page 19. N - Wave - Shoot out waves in 8 directions (depends on where the players are on the screen) H - Heart - A homing weapon X - Spark - Goes straight ahead SP - Wave 2 - Homes in on enemies ? - Coins - Shoots out smily coins III. Options -------------- Choose difficulty level, stereo or mono, etc... IV. (Empty Space) ----------------- ? ;) 4. Areas w/ tips on completing the missions ------------------------------------------- The areas on Sexy Parodius are like on the Darius series. Once you complete or do not complete a mission, you will go to a different level... World 1 - Down on the Farm It seems a giant corn-on-the-cob is picking on the chickens! Help them! Music: American Patrol w/ a hint of Home on the Range Boss Music: ? Goal: Defeat Corn Chiwa before he escapes! World 2 - Bathroom Trouble It seems a lady lost her money in a giant bathroom. Help recover the coins! Music: Anvil Chorus Remix Boss Music: Three Blind Mice/Circus Music Goal: Get 300 coins World 3A (Do not get 300 coins) - Of Mice and Monsters Mice have taken over an old manor. Get rid of them! Music: Castlevania - Vampire Killer Opening/? Boss Music: Castlevania 1 Boss beginning/Habanera from Carmen? (Sounds familiar) Goal: Kill 100 mice World 3B (Got the 300 coins) - Geisha Goons It seems the once-loyal geishas of Moai's Japanese palace have become crooks! Music: Yie Ar Kung Fu Theme (The opening is) Boss Music: ? Goal: "Strip" 200 Geishas World 4A (Didn't complete the missions on 3A or 3B) - Down in the Mine Kill the robots that are making trouble in the mines. Music: ? Boss Music: ? Goal: Kill 10 Robots World 4B (Killed 200 Geishas or Killed 100 Mice) - Save the Girls Uh oh! The penguins have stolen beautiful women and are packaging them up in crates! Free them! Music: ? (Sounds like the 2nd half of Boosters Tower on Super Mario RPG) Boss Music: ? Goal: Save 50 girls World 5 (After finishing 4A or 4B) - Sky Treasure A pirate needs help recovering the treasure he found in the sky! Music: Grape(vine)s of Wrath (Battle Hymn of the Republic) Boss Music: 2 Volcanoes from Gradius Goal: Get 300 Coins World * (Get 300 Coins on stage 5, or appears randomly if you failed a mission on 2 player mode) It seems a few old bosses are causing trouble... Stop them! Boss Music: Area 5's boss from Gokujyou Parodius Boss Music: Area 1's boss from Parodius Da! Boss Music: Area 2's boss from Parodius Da! Boss Music: Area 3's boss from Parodius Da! (CanCan!) Boss Music: Habanera from Carmen? (it's either this one or Medusa (above)) Goal: Don't die! World 6 (Not getting all the coins on stage 5 or winning/losing stage *) It seems Takosuke the Octopus took the group's funds and is running away! Stop him! Music: Hallalujah Chorus Boss Music: Gradius 3 normal boss Goal: Get to the end before time runs out! (WARNING: If the game is on very hard, make sure your weapon choice is AUTO! If you die, you must start back aways, and the timer doesn't start over!) Think you finished the game? Check out the spoilers section if you dare... 5. Bosses --------- (Note: If you wait a long time, the boss will leave, but if you completed your mission, it won't matter. The only one it will matter on is the 1st boss, Corn Chiwa.) World 1 - --------- Corn Chiwa (Konichiwa. Get it?) Your first battle is a fight with a corn-on-the-cob! Start by staying on the left side of the screen and blast him and the popcorn he shoots. Soon, he will get off the ground, but stay right where you are, then soon he will go back to his original position. After that, fire away! World 2 - --------- Toilet Penguin During the battle, stay to the far left, shooting the bubbles as they approach, and aim for the penguin's navel. If you need more coins, grab as many as possible from the bubbles, but don't take too long, or the boss will leave! Once you defeat him, his helmet will drop a group of coins worth about 40. Grab them! World 3A - ---------- Medusa She's back, and bigger than before! Stay to the far left, aiming for her eye. After she throws 3 of her 2-way petrify beams that home in on you, she will summon 4 mice. Kill them if you need them for your total. Also, if you get turned to stone, make sure her snakes projectiles aren't coming after you! World 3B - ---------- Egg-Shaped Ginsu Lady Stay to the far left, and when she throws her knives, go slightly right, if one is aiming for you. When she throws her head, stay to the far bottom-left. Once in a while she will jumpkick towards you. When this happens, head right, then above and back to the left. If she throws her head and it goes into the foreground, then background, get above and behind her! World 4A - ---------- Raccoon with a Giant... Well... There's no polite way to explain it... When the battle begins, he will run to the left, and wrap around to the right side of the screen. Shoot him in the face, and when he summons rocks, hit him in the obvious place :) Once in awhile, he will walk to the left and wrap around to the right side of the screen, so watch out for this. Once in a rare while he may turn into a female raccoon! I've personally only seen this once, and I'm not sure how to trigger it! World 4B - ---------- Machine The only time you can hit the penguin is when he is on the far right side of the screen or at the top. Once in a while he will drop out boxes, shoot them for women or birds that leave power-ups behind (if you kill all 3). When the penguin's machine is at the very top of the screen, make sure you are near the bottom to block his projectiles (same when he is moving up and down on the right side of the screen). After you defeat him, he will pull out a machine gun. Just stay away until he disappears. World 5 - --------- Dreamcast Symbol No, that's not what it is. it's a Peppermint with a bad attitude! Start by shooting it while staying near it, and when it is about halfway dead, the pieces of candy near it will go in 4 directions, leaving coins. Grab the coins, but watch out when the candy goes back to its normal position! World * - --------- Parade of Bosses Pillow Shoot him, while moving around the screen, grabbing the many options he throws at you. Penguin Shoot at his navel, and don't let the background bug you! Eagle Worry about the boss, not the background! Move up and down, avoiding his feathers and beam, and shoot him repeatedly in the face. If you are facing the parade of bosses earlier in the game (and if you are full-powered), then his beams will be gigantic, and tough to avoid! Lips Kill at least 4 of the lips, then a giant lip will form with the remaining ones! Shoot at it, while moving around the screen, wathcing out for the projectiles. Venus She has the properties of the previous 4 bosses! Stay near the left, but watch out when the angels she throws out goes into the "lips" phase! World 6 - --------- Nice Lady Oh no! The hardest boss in the game! Good Luck! ;) 6. Help Me! ----------- - Translate the story and subtitles of each area! 7. Credits ---------- This FAQ/Walkthrough was made entirely by me, DDCecil. Feel free to use it on your website, and make sure to give me credit. If you are caught selling this or changing it in any way, shape, form, yadda yadda... I'll sue you for everything you are worth (which isn't much if you decide to do that, of course!) Thanks to: CJayC - For Hosting this on GameFaqs.com All other websites hosting my FAQs You - For reading this. Me - For writing this. All the Parodius fans out there! Spoilers: --------- *1 - UP, UP, DOWN, DOWN, L, R, L, R, B, A Start - It will give you full weapons, but it can only be done once per stage. *2 - UP, UP, DOWN, DOWN, L, R, L, R, A, B Start - This will give you the "OH!" Option (which takes away all your weapons.) * 3 - Beat the game on any difficulty in this order, winning every mission: 1-2-3B-4B-5-*-6 After "defeating" the final boss, and after you watch the closing credits, you get to go through a special stage!!! Better yet, defeat it and you can choose it from the main menu, even after turning your system off (depends on if your system has a WORKING battery in it! (Mine doesn't!)) The background on the option menu also changes! Stage ** - Special Stage Music: ? (Eagles and other minions area) Music: ? (Moai-only area) Music: ? (Triangle-only area) Music: Gradius 3 Area 9 (Women-only area) Boss Music: ? (Gigantic woman star) Goal: Defeat this level and see a cool picture!
