Ultra Balloon
Ultra Balloon was produced by SunA in 1996. it's Bubble Bobble, except done like Parodius, right down to the penguin-as-a-main-character motif (they even look identical) and the rampant use of "classical" music from the public domain. It has enemies that capitalized on the then-megahot trend of wearing basketball goggles. REMEMBER THE BULLS. Anyway, it's such a blatant rip-off of a popular game, from a fly-by-night company that had absolutely no ties with Taito, using character designs by Famitsu artist Susumu Matsushita
