If Taito wanted to, they could make a nifty seafood restaurant whose dishes are named after Darius bosses. It would be fun to eat Keen Bayonet steaks and pancaked Killer Hijia in an Engrishy way. Of course, we can't forget Octopus sushi (groan...). But the most brilliant (and popular) dish would end up being Tough Spring shrimp. Mmm...my mouth waters to think of it.
Tough Spring shrimp, $23,99.
Tips:Tough Spring has mighty cool boss music in Super Darius and Darius Plus. The thing to watch out for him is his three-bullet arc from his 'head'. The beam from his tail is not much of a threat. The most likely place where you will get killed is when he drops three little shrimp from his abdomen. These are perfectly destructible, but likely to be ignored. When they reach the end of the screen, they will fire seeking bullets at ya, and dodging them can force you into the main bullet arc. Ouch. The feelers can be destroyed, but the last attack can make you forget the desire for such a long, but more destructive, assault. Of course, with a full shield you can nuke him without even breaking a sweat.
