Collector interest

The Game Boy port of Parasol Stars carries a modest European print run for this third Bubble Bobble chapter, which never reached the US handheld market. Taito compresses the arcade into monochrome, making it the most affordable way into a game scarce on its other platforms. Desirability rests on that PAL exclusivity and the steady standing of the Rainbow Islands name among Taito platformer enthusiasts.
