Viva Core (ビバコア Biba Koa) is the boss of Stage 6 in Parodius Da!
Description[]
Viva Core is yet another variant of Big Core MK I, this time taking on a more humorous tone in Parodius Da! Viva Core is loaded with neon lights and the traditional blue core has been replaced with a pinball bumper reading "10000 PTS" ("×1000" in some artworks). On the rear, the words "VIVA CORE" can be clearly seen in bright neon red. It does have extra armaments, such as waving arms that shoot big destructible balls and also has pinball flippers that somewhat protect the core.
Attack patterns[]
Being a Big Core. Mk. I variant, Viva Core attacks in the ways you'd expect from its model, though it spices up the routine with its moving arms, which also fire destroyable ball projectiles. The flippers open and close, acting as something of a shield. All this does make Viva Core more formidable then the stock Big Core model...but it's still not that tough to beat.

Trivia[]
- It is possible that Viva Core is a mixture of Big Core MK I and Crystal Core.
- The manuals and the official soundtrack of the game calls it "Electric Spectaculared Core". "Viva Core" is the name used on the actual core itself, although this may simply be a cheer akin to "Viva Las Vegas!".
- Viva Core makes an appearance in Otomedius Gorgeous versus mode. This one started off as a regular Big Core, but customized itself to draw eyes toward it, specifically those of the Gofer Sisters, and to stand out from the vast multitude of Big Cores in the Bacterian Army.
