Template:Infobox Boss

Background

Eagle Sabu is the Stage 2 boss of Parodius Da!, and is fought in every port of Parodius Da! The boss is a large Bald Eagle dressed in Uncle Sam's clothing, and is a parody of the Phoenix boss, but features a different set of attacks.
It later showed up in the Boss Rush Stage of Sexy Parodius. A smaller version also appeared in Gokujō Parodius! and in the Special Stage of Sexy Parodius as a recurring enemy. These enemies drop either 4 Power Capsules or 5 Bells when defeated.
Certain ports of the game replaced the bosses' graphics with something less controversial.
It's weakpoint is the head.

Then the Eagle Sabu is Appear with the Cameo of the Two Parodius Pachislot Games.

Attack Patterns

Ripple Laser Attack

When defeated, the explosion burns it's feathers and clothes off.

Eagle Sabu has mostly the same attack pattern in all appearances. Unlike the original boss, the Eagle will fly around the screen, as opposed to warping, removing what some viewed as a unfair attack.
Sabu's main attack is to release a randomized spread of feathers, although in the NES version these are aimed towards the player, and move very slowly. It will also fire a volley of Ripple Lasers from it's beak, which, unlike the fireballs of the Phoenix, cannot be destroyed. In the NES version these take up a very large portion of the screen.

Trivia

• It is generally believed this boss was the reason that the Parodius games never made it to US, seeing how it parodies icons of America.
