-'''Parodius Da!''' (Japanese: ''Parodiusu Da!'' パロディウスだ！) is a shmup developed and published by [[Konami]] in 1990.

 Unlike games of the [[Gradius]] series, the arcade version of '''Parodius Da!''' does not feature infinite loops and ends after Loop 2. There are no requirements for the second loop so that upon beating 1-10 the player will always enter 2-1.
-Upon entering 2-1, the player loses all of it`s Power Ups and starts in the default state again. If the Power Meter was highlighted at any position at the end of Loop 1, it will be highlighted on the first position "Speed Up" beginning with Loop 2. This is very helpful in order to quickly gain more upgrades again.

 Minimum rank is much higher during the loop (see above). Moreover, there's a flag for Loop 2 that will always activate single revenge bullets. On higher rank, additional revenge bullets can spawn after the first revenge bullet. These additional revenge bullets often spawn with a significant delay which makes them particularly troublesome to dodge.

-The double K.O. against the final boss of loop 1 has a twofold function: First, to decrease rank for the beginning of loop 2 and second, to gain an additional 100,000 points per double K.O. for a total maximum gain of 400,000 points when all extra lives are sacrificed this way. In order to perform the double K.O., the player simply has to steer into a wall after the eighth arm is destroyed. The timing for this is very lenient.

 When the spritelimit of the game is exceeded while shooting enemies that would otherwise spawn an item (bells and capsules - including roulette capsules), these items can sometimes not spawn. Even when a regular item is despawned in this way, the item cycle will still advance as if it had appeared.
