[edit] Gameplay

The gameplay in Sexy Parodius is similar to the rest of the series, but with a new catch. Instead of just playing through each level and destroying enemies while avoiding getting hit, the player must also complete a special mission for each stage as well. Some of these missions range from collecting a certain amount of coins in a stage to destroying a certain object or enemies. Depending whether or not the player completes the mission will determine whether the player can continue to the next stage or what the next stage will be. In addition, instead of an alternating two-player game, both players now play simultaneously.

The playable characters in this game are: Vic Viper/Lord British, Michael/Gabriel, Hikaru/Akane, Ivan/Toby, Mambo/Samba, Koitsu/Aitsu, Option/Multiple and Shooting Star/Black Viper.
