TAITO - Double Delight - Parasol Superstars

Get ready for a double dose of platforming nostalgia and charm as two beloved titles come together in one vibrant package. Parasol Superstars unites the classic bubble-blasting acclaimed adventure Parasol Stars with the cosmic, retro-inspired platformer Spica Adventure - new to western gamers - delivering hours of arcade-style action and timeless fun.

Parasol Superstars launches on 16th September 2025 digital for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 and Xbox. The physical release will be only on Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 5. Spica Adventure will also get a digital only release on 30th September 2025.

Originally released as the third entry in TAITO’s legendary Bubble Bobble series, Parasol Stars brings back fan-favorite characters Bubby and Bobby in a whirlwind quest across fantastical worlds - armed only with magical parasols. It’s colorful, chaotic, and full of the quirky energy that defined an era of gaming.

Joining the bundle is Spica Adventure, a fast-paced space odyssey starring Nico, a fearless girl exploring the stars. Long considered a hidden gem, Spica Adventure was previously available as a japanese phone game and later available in arcades - and never released outside of Japan. For the first time ever, Western players can enjoy this unique title on home platforms, complete with enhancements and extras.

Parasol Superstars offers:

  • Two complete platforming adventures

  • The classic Parasol Stars, faithfully restored with modern enhancements

  • Spica Adventure, finally making its home console and Western debut plus modern enhancements and features

  • Optimized for modern platforms with controller support and quality-of-life features

  • Local 2-player co-op in Parasol Stars

  • A Special Edition contains bonus content such as an History Artbook and a Best of Soundtrack of both games
