ただのパロディ作としてではなく、立派なシューティングゲームのひとつとして人気を呼んだ「パロディウスだ!」の続編。前作では基となった「グラディウス」を中心に他のコナミの作品をアレンジした内容のものだったが、今作ではそれをベースに様々なオリジナル要素が盛り込まれた作品となっている。オプションの代わりにショットそのものがパワーアップするキャラクターの登場や、一定の条件を果たすことで登場するモアイステージなど、それまでのグラディウスシリーズのイメージからはあり得なかったシステムが採用されている。また2人同時プレイも可能。

Gokujyou Parodius! Kako no Eikou wo Motomete (c) 1994 Konami.

The second arcade sequel to 1990's Parodius Da!, this parody of Konami's Gradius series picks up where the first game left off. This time, it isn't only their own games that the Konami shoot-em-up mocks; other classics of the genre such as Irem's legendary R*Type - specifically the infamous mothership that forms R*Type's entire third level - are lovingly parodied.

The name of the fish character Mambo has a double meaning, he gets his name from the real life fish called Ocean Sunfish (or Mola Mola), but called Mambou in Japan. The other meaning is Mambo from the musical style, which is why the female partner character in this game is called Samba, yet another musical style.
