Big Boy Shippu (ビッグボイシップ) is the midboss of Stage EX-3, Parobee Fusion. It awaits players at the end of the Twinbee section of the stage.
Design basis[]
Big Boy Shippu is an enlarged and recolored version of a medium-sized enemy from Stage 2 of the Super Nintendo game Pop'n Twinbee. Its orbital helpers are also from the same game.
Attack patterns[]
Big Boy Shippu's attack patterns are taken from the DoDonPachi Stage 1 boss, Suzaku. Its most devastating attack is when its orbitals shoot streams of bullets while rotating fast around Big Boy Shippu.
