PARODIUS: Option

Published:
2.3K Views

Description

Option and Multiple are original characters who appeared in Sexy Parodius and take the concept of "Vic Viper followed by option orbs" and flip it on its head.

A hilarious idea, but I was always bothered by Option's design. Why is he blue when Vic Viper's options were always orange? I think it might be something to do with "character colour recognition." Quite a majority of Parodius characters have blue one player characters and red two player characters and I wonder if that had something to do with it. This makes less sense when other characters in the same game don't fall into this pattern.

So I modelled the little globule on its design in Konami Krazy Racers with a more accurate colour and tall, beady eyes. And when Vic Viper's options aren't orange (and in Chatting Parodius) they're green, so that's what Multiple got.

It was also a great reason to draw the tiny, tiny versions of Vic Viper and Lord British which act as options to Option (!)

Awwwwww such cuties!

I never put too much thought into the colors, I just thought they were all part of a species / it was to see them better in-game.
