Grab your fanciest parasol and get ready to save the galaxy from an invasion of cute but deadly monsters!
Parasol Stars: The Story of Bubble Bobble III is the third part of the renowned Taito series, Soap Bubble Bobble. The story continues in Rainbow Islands as a direct sequel and becomes a household name for the most bubbly Soap Bubble Bobble fans. First released on PC Engine in 1991, Parasol Stars was then ported to some third generation consoles such as the Atari ST, Amiga, GameBoy and Nintendo Entertainment System… until it finally found its way to modern Xbox consoles.
In this final chapter of the Rainbow Trilogy, heroic brothers Bubby and Bobby embark on a mission to save the galaxy from the clutches of evil! Chaostikhan, the main antagonist, has wreaked havoc in the galaxy and stolen all of the neighboring planets’ color. Play as Bubby and Bobby (aka our favorite lovable dragons Bub and Bob, but in human form) and, armed with magical parasols, jump and glide through the universe, collecting items, driving away enemies, and restoring the color one planet at a time.
This faithful Xbox port features everything you once loved about the game: a beautifully colorful palette of enemies, numerous power-ups, and dazzling parasols with magical powers, while also incorporating some quality of life options to enhance the gameplay experience.
Play it solo or grab a friend for some old-fashioned couch co-op action! Jump from planet to planet and win all seven rounds in each of the eight base worlds! And surprise! Two additional secret worlds can be unlocked to face Chaostikhan himself and reach the game’s true ending.
So? What are you waiting for? Everyone is counting on you to bring color back to the galaxy!

Legendary bubble dragons Bub and Bob are back… in human form!? In this critically acclaimed Taito classic, available for the first time on modern consoles, the now-transformed Bubby and Bobby embark on a mission to save their neighboring planets. But this time, instead of blowing bubbles, our favorite duo are wielding colorful parasols filled with magical powers. Use parasols as shields against enemy projectiles, or to stun, pick up, and throw enemies as projectiles yourself! Released in 1991 as a sequel to Rainbow Islands, Parasol Stars is the third installment in Taito’s hugely successful Bubble Bobble series of action platformers, and has lost none of its colorful charm over the years. High score hunters rejoice, because just like its bubble-filled predecessor, skillful play will quickly fill the level with sweet and fruity collectibles that can be collected to climb the leaderboard. Look out for a variety of pick-ups that will grant you all sorts of special powers, from bouncing energy balls to screen-clearing magic. Play alone or bring a friend and tackle the challenging levels together! Just like using enemies as projectiles, hurling your buddy at the enemies can be a good strategy. But be careful, because you’ll not only stun the enemy you hit, but also your buddy, who will become the projectile. In 2-player co-op mode, tactical teamwork is key to completing the levels and achieving the highest scores. Parasol Stars is a retro gem brought back for modern consoles. Its bright and beautifully designed worlds will draw you in, and its simple yet addictive 1 or 2-player gameplay will keep you coming back for more to reach the top of the leaderboard.
