03-1 Frying Pans, Frying Pan Saucer, Beehive, Red Emotional Balloon, Apple Trees. 05-1 Yellow T-Shirt. 05-2 Whale, "Giant" Enemy Crab Tomato Transformer is basically a rib on Treasure's Seven Force. Game was brought untranslated to North America on PSP and PS3 by Monkey Paw Games.
The Stories each Level Represents: Stage 1 - The Frog Prince (Pretty obvious) Stage 2 - The Birth of Christ (You have the Three Wise Men near a Treasure, or gift; and it explains the Exorcist reference - Mary and the Anti-Christ...) Stage 3 - Little Red Riding Hood (The Wolf is _not_ Pregnant! He's just eaten Red and her Grandma - which is almost as disturbing...) Stage 4 - Snow White (Evil Queen attacking with apples, and _way more_ than 7 Dwarves defending Snow White) Stage 5 - Christopher Columbus? (Not enough to be something like Pocahontas, so that's my best guess) Stage 6 - The Musicians of Bremen (But with the clusterf--k of elements involved, I wouldn't blame you for guessing 'Don Quiyote' before the Stage Boss!) Final Stage - Nothing in Particular, just the Dreamspace between Stories.
Between the production values, boss-rush nature of the game, and overall aesthetic (and insanity), one can be forgiven for mistaking this for a Treasure game.
@@awesomehazimex7410 I feel like they wanted to be like American and their fun wacky cartoons back then but they went too far and over did it with their own weird methods from comical to weird.
Kinda think its weird they decided to use a 3d model for the player and everything else is mostly sprite art, but interesting game none the less. We need more weird shmups like this honestly.
A real mixed bag visually, spritework is even excellent at times but many backgrounds are bland and the 3D modeled player characters are ugly although they ironically stand out. An interesting curiosity nonetheless, despite looking cheap it shows a lot of creativity and variety. At the time there was still space for quirky small projects like this, before they shrank down due to rising production and publishing costs - and then make a bigger comeback thanks to digital distribution.
I REALLY hate people who don't appreciate primitive 3D graphics. I miss it when 3D looked like 3D, instead of trying to imitate either 2D drawings, to the point of lowering its own frame rate, or real life. I want more movies like Spy Kids 3D and Cat in the hat, where CGI unashamedly looks like itself instead of pretending to be something else, but because people like you force their tastes on everyone, it never happens except in a mocking way. Shame on you!
I did find the plot for the game on Archives: "Two kids are cleaning their room when they find a book of fairy tales. Suddenly a fairy pops out of the book and tells them about an evil wizard who is tampering the fairy tales. Hopping on the vacuum cleaner the kids travel to the fairy land to help the fairy."
The thumbnail doesn't look right in my eyes, just that wolf with a big belly reminds me of the first time I was on the internet and found out furries were a thing.
@@osakatales9228 Certain art websites certainly don't give the most flattering impressions. I knew a furry, like 'lite' furry though. Cat ears and cat tail, friendly guy, gave me a ride when I needed it and was a history buff.

Final Stage - Nothing in Particular, just the Dreamspace between Stories.
When you see the Musicians of Bremen as a boss, you can tell developers did their research on Grimm Brothers' tales characters
"Mom, can we get Parodius?"
"We have Parodius at home."
Parodius at home:
Between the production values, boss-rush nature of the game, and overall aesthetic (and insanity), one can be forgiven for mistaking this for a Treasure game.
Not to mention the bosses' health points.
A treasure it is
"Mom, I wanted Parodius/Keio Flying Squadron/Cho Aniki"
"Shut up and eat your Kyuin"
Cho Aniki?
Thanks i think i'll starve.
Mom, I want Pulirula too
Someday someone is going to clean the filter for that vacuum and just be utterly horrified!
I'd pay to hear the pitch meeting for this game lmao
Is it me, or the Big Bad Wolf is literally just Jon Talbain who got inflated by Jedah
Look like it's not just me who think that werewolf is Gallon too.
Yeah it really looks like Jon, maybe they based themselves a lot on his sprite
He really let himself go.
It did have me think that capcom had some influence in this game. Maybe similar artists?
@@Feuerhamster Beware when looking for fanart of him, cause you'll likely find things you wish you haven't...
As bizzare as it is, the vacuum cleaner acting as a shield of sorts is lowkey a really cool mechanic
AND CHALLENGING
It's like Ness from Earthbound entered in a parodius game to do some cleaning hsjkghskjfk. Nice skill as always!
oh its one of "those" games XDD
Yes I'm sorry I do not speak Japanese
@@kingajrocks2345 aw damn
Man how the hell do Japan come up with these wacky ass side shooters
@@awesomehazimex7410 I feel like they wanted to be like American and their fun wacky cartoons back then but they went too far and over did it with their own weird methods from comical to weird.
At least japan made mario commercials normal than America , USA was a bit questionable at that time they were on drugs
Not gonna lie, at the title screen, I said out loud, "what fucking nightmare fuel is this?!"
All the while the catchy ass jpop theme is playing.
Remember, as the great Caddicarus said in his Klonoa video:
"This is Japan we're talking about."
This must have been one of the first games to have an evil nun in it.
How about Revenge Of Shinobi?
@@Nathan-rb3qp That's true.
In kyuin, I think that nun is corrupted
Evil Santa needs more people to his gang.
@@Nathan-rb3qp Those are Kunoichis disguised as nuns.
Can't forget the flying snowmaaaan...
Man, 1996 times we're SCAAAARY
HOW VERY SWOOD OF YOU
@@jamesvanitas That must have been one Swood guy.
Cupids: you're helpless! What are you gonna do against our arrows??
* Sucks them in vacuum *
Oh, look, it's fat Jon Talbain from Darkstalkers series at the thumbnail :D
17:05 uh might as well call him the big FAT wolf!
23:05 I was told to come up with a boss design and all I could think of was this lousy t-shirt.
YOUR FIRED FROM THE GAMING COMPANY
I laughed at that! 😂
"So... what shape did you guys decide on for the tomato boss"
All of them.
It's quite amazing that the way they changed the frog back to human in this game is much more accurate than most retellings and movies of the tale.
Victima del llamativo y innovador 3d me perdi estas joyitas en la ps1, gracias por traer el titulo!
Kinda think its weird they decided to use a 3d model for the player and everything else is mostly sprite art, but interesting game none the less.
We need more weird shmups like this honestly.
im already uncomfortable of this game b/c of the thumbnail and I've yet to get to a second in-
semination
Ah yes, my favorite type of video game genre the.... (checks notes) fever dream!
Definitely one of those mindf--k games!
I swear the Big Bad Wolf's sprites were modified and lifted from Jon Talbain from Darkstalkers
This was one of the PSX import games I wanted back in late 1996 but forgot about as the years went on. Thanks for making a video of it!
17:05 Why you haven't heard from Jon Talbain in ages.

Como rayos supero todo el juego sin quedar traumatizado, te admiro amigo
that's the most rubbery big bad wolf I have ever seen
You talk about how rubbery he is. I’m more concerned by his fat belly. Why did they give him a big belly?!
@@mushroomhead3619 probably because of the fairy tale thing
I think Jon Talbain just drank too much beer
All Dreams have a meaning
My Dreams :
17:05 Jon Talbain Lol.
What is Ness from Earthbound doing here
Amazing :)
I swear, everytime I randomly think of an old videogame you come up with it
At least I now know this wasn't a fever dream lol
1:03 wtf why attack her? She big so he just reduce her size?
I did find the plot for the game on Archives: "Two kids are cleaning their room when they find a book of fairy tales. Suddenly a fairy pops out of the book and tells them about an evil wizard who is tampering the fairy tales. Hopping on the vacuum cleaner the kids travel to the fairy land to help the fairy."
Imagine the nun said: "thank you for freeing me"
14:17 Alan xddd
that moment when you realize the santas didn't use normal sleighs but gaming chairs instead
And that, ladies, theydies, and gentlemen, is where Parodius came from.
“Yes, sons and daughters, and cousins in between!”
XD
Ah yes, Flying vacuum cleaner with guns attached.
This definitely gonna suprass metal gear.
The OST and some of the sprite work are actually quite decent
Wooow... el ps1 tiene demasiado juego q yo nunca en mi vida habia jugado....🙆🏽♂️🙆🏽♂️🙆🏽♂️
I don't have this game but the Tomato Transformer is the most interesting boss imo. This is one strange game.
Did you really just fight a bunch of t shirts?!?
This game looks like someone's fever dream.
Mmmm, a whole batch of nightmare fuel, thank you, mr. Shadowserg.
It's like they made a game out of the leftover assets from 12 different games
Sounds like a Kickstarter project
XD
Me having never heard of this game "Oh cool, all bosses no damage? Gotta see that"
Indeed, anoche exclusive from the ps1
I love your videos! :D
princes is killed then frog turned back to prince,I'm sure he will be ok
Yeah I wonder why the princess hasn't shrunk. All the other characters from fairy tales we're returned to normal, so why not the princess?
This game is so expensive they need to port this to the Switch now!
First one tbh, and this guy is great at these games, keep it up dude😁💯
I love these Japanese games that have this "weird for the sake of weird" aesthetic.
That Kokeshi music sounds like something straight out of Luigi's Mansion soundtrack.
-What a beautiful game. I gonna see if i could buy it for my ps1.
- a quick search around Ebay...
- holy shiiiiiiittt!
this appeared in my recommendations.
It felt cheap sometimes. Thank for the content btw
What is this ❓ what is this game
This is like a spiritual predecessor of Cuphead's Airplane Boss fights like Hilda Von Berg, Djimmi the Great, Dr. Kahl, and others.
Me looks at thumbnail: oh my god that’s hideous
I’m in
The thumbnail doesn't look right in my eyes, just that wolf with a big belly reminds me of the first time I was on the internet and found out furries were a thing.
This was unfortunately the first thing that came to my mind.
@@baalfgames5318 I don't know about all that, but most of what I discovered late 08' was horrifying so I categorize it as furry stuff because it was.
@@osakatales9228 Certain art websites certainly don't give the most flattering impressions. I knew a furry, like 'lite' furry though. Cat ears and cat tail, friendly guy, gave me a ride when I needed it and was a history buff.
MY SYMPATHIES, starter
But hey, you survived!
XD
So is he like a modern wizard who rides a vacuum cleaner instead of a broom?
Legoshi really let himself go
The Playstation is a treasure trove of these bizarre insane Japan-only titles that are as fun as they are weird.
Un juego raro pero divertido a la vez.
what... did I just see?
t shirt as final boss wow
Didn't expect Ness would shoot down a princess.
IM SCARED, IM MOVIN ON-jontron
*THERE'S LITERALLY JUST A BOSS CALLED GIANT ENEMY CRAB*
the frog was wavedashing
=A PLOT TWIST-THAT TUBE ACTUALLY DOESNT BELONG TO THE VACUUM CLEANER=........
=HEHE
Sometimes you gotta wonder what the inspection for these games where.
Dreams have meanings
My dreams :
Also, the protagonists look like Earthbound characters!😆🤣😂
this is weird next to the flying 90's Konami snes game
I have no words
Wait, is that......Talbain? 17:10
and i thinked Parodius is the most cursed shoot em up game and i found this
That was a slaughter in the Heaven.
Wished weird shoot em ups like this one were common lol
Sometimes I seriously wonder where Shadowserg gets these games from.
THE INTERNET
XD
No, seriously. There are sites and forums about this stuff
If only bosses is 43:08, imagine the complete game.
Triple time
EXCLUDING CONTINUES
XD
Oh...Sick game
That poor frog....
Damn, this game is so bizarre even its interface is in Japanese.
huh, thought I subscribed to you years ago.
Must have been my old account.
Done.
What kind of Parodius fuckery is this acid trip?!😆🤣😂
17:20 Dhalsim Talbain
Excuse meWUT
Non avevo mai sentito parlare di questo gioco non mi dispiacerebbe provarlo
I think you shot more at the baby than the nun
17:05 Jon Toonbain
I feel this game was trying to be the next Parodius…
Rtype X Parodius? They were trying to contend for the "Weirdest Shmup"
