Rainbows retired, Bub and Bob are back, now armed to the teeth with... Mary Poppins prop paraphernalia. Parasol Stars is the arguably better sequel to Taito's arcade coin-op classic hit, Rainbow Islands. You'll struggle to find a baddie dispatch mechanic to rival the satisfaction of unbridled umbrella battery! In close combat situations, it functions as a blunt bludgeoning tool or water droplet propulsion dispenser, whilst with more time to scheme, we can catch individual water droplets, accumulate a super water bomb, then unleash a torrential flood to sweep out the monstrous reprobates barring our progress. Mastery of all combinations of attack in quick succession enriches the challenge with an ingenious strategy element rarely seen in arcade-action games.
