Background

Giant sized version of previously playable characters, Hikaru and Akane serve as the Boss of Stage 2 in Jikkyō Oshaberi Parodius. Hikaru is the main target in the battle, and her eyes are the weakpoint.
Hikaru has a completely different set of attacks in both versions of Jikkyō. The sprite was also redrawn.

Attack Patterns

Akane herself does not attack in the SNES Version, but will wink at the player should she be shot. Whilst traveling to Hikaru's head, the player must avoid School Girls encased in bubbles. These will occasionally blow fatal kisses.
In the Remake, shooting Akane will cause her to try to punch the player.

SNES Version

JikSNES Boss 2 Moai

Hikaru's Moai

In the SNES version of Jikkyō, Hikaru is infested with miniature Moai, which all act differently. They can be destroyed.

  • The first attack she will pull off is to flick her hair, sending out a small spread of Blue Moai. The hair is deadly, and can catch players off guard as it covers a large portion of the screen.


After this, her attacks will be randomized, and the Moai will warn the player in advance with a speech bubble.

  • Green Moai will drop down from the top of the screen. A safespot is directly besides Hikaru's head.
  • Red Moai will swarm from the side of the screen in a curve pattern.
  • Yellow Moai will home on the player and follow for a short period.
  • Finally, Blue Moai will re-trigger the hair flick attack.

PSX / Saturn Version

Hikaru and Akane are now joined by their traditional riding missiles, and process a different set of attacks.

  • When she brings her hand to her face, similar to Honey in Parodius Da!, Hikaru will blow out small enemies encased in bubbles. In this case they are rabbits.
  • In addition to the hair flick, flowers will form during this attack. These aim towards the player.
  • Finally, Hikaru will rarely send her riding missile up diagonally. This covers a very large portion of the screen.

Trivia

  • The carrots dancing around Akane in the PSX / Saturn port are a reference to the weapons the girls used in Gokujō Parodius!
