About:

Port of "Parasol Stars - The Story of Rainbow Islands II" (also known as Bubble Bobble 3) was published by Ocean and Graftgold for Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum, Amstrad CPC, Amiga, and Atari ST. This sequel to Rainbow Islands sees a return to the gameplay of Bubble Bobble, but with Bub and Bob in their now-human forms. The boys must clear a series of screens of bad guys - who take slightly more esoteric forms than the angry caterpillars from Rainbow Islands - and again pick up a whole bunch of power-ups. But this time they're armed with umbrellas! Oh, okay then, parasols...

Story:

Bubby and Bobby set off to rescue the inhabitants of the Rainbow Islands, who have been turned into Bubble Dragons by the evil Boss of Shadow. They must collect the big gems and mirrors on the ten Rainbow Islands and defeat the Boss of Shadow to return the islanders to normal.
