But apart from a fantastic special stage, pales in comparison to the SNES version in all aspects.The pce port has much better animation, the scaling fx (frames) on each of the playable characters in the pce game, is far better, the huge walking women in stage 2 has more frames of animation, the rotation of the smaller enemies are once again better(more frames) the pig enemies butts jiggle in the pce port, the large female boss who blows bubbles also has better animation,and it goes on and on and on. QuoteIn all honesty, Parodius should have been a Super CD. Here is some color cycling comparison, the pic below is from Dracxx, it cycles through 15 unique colors, in comparison, rondo cycles through 125 colors, by the way, I don't count those as frames other things in rondo I don't count is the begening of each stage has a title different for richter and Maria, they melt away, also when you defeat a boss, his life bar melts, two unique frames for that.I don't count a lot of animation that's in rondo, the game is just loaded with crap, by the way, the rondo version of this part of the game is somewhere in this thread. One of the other best is GNG for the super grafx and super GNG for the snes. Not in the same league as Rondo, but still beautiful.

Sorry, I lost most of them when my comp crashed.īy the way, if you want to know what I think the best is when it comes to cartridge games as far as hand drawn fx go, its Demons Crest huge number of frames, great colors etc. Rondo about 125 unique colors.just Death I got lazy and didn't cut the other frames out. Just to point out, the GNG sprite sheet of animation/fx is only about 65 percent done.rondo is about 90 percent done, the enemy flame fx has three other palettes, one green and two purples there are actually subtle differences between them, so that right there is 90 more frames, mostly palettes swaps though, Demons Crest is about 100 percent complete.

Here is some color cycling comparison, the pic below is from Dracxx, it cycles through 15 unique colors, in comparison, rondo cycles through 125 colors, by the way, I don't count those as frames other things in rondo I don't count is the begening of each stage has a title different for richter and Maria, they have a cool warping or melting effect, also when you defeat a boss, his life bar melts, two unique frames for that.I don't count a lot of animation that's in rondo, the game is just loaded with crap, I also added the rondo death color cycling.
