Parodius music
Parodius music is one of the more distinctive features about the Parodius series. The games contain an extensive use of classical music and other well-known music, in what could be termed as wacky remixes. According to Hidenori Maezawa, music composer for Parodius ～Tako wa Chikyū o Sukū～, the use of public domain classical music in the original Parodius was the result of having only a one month deadline to complete the entire soundtrack.[1] There are also a number of rehashes of in game music from Gradius and other Konami games—very little of the series' music was newly composed. There are even rearrangements of some popular music.
