How it plays

Choose a character, fly through horizontal stages, collect power-up capsules, defeat enemy formations and bosses, and use the selected character's weapon bar to build an effective attack set. The Asian ROM supplies its own text and regional data.
Plan your run
What is the best way to play Parodius DA! (Asia)?
Upgrade only the weapons needed for the next pattern, protect the power-up carrier until a useful capsule is available, and use the stage geometry to avoid dense fire. Learn the Asian set separately when checking weapon labels or stage timing.
