Gunbird 2 is a vertical scrolling shooter released for the Sega Dreamcast where players control seven characters on a quest to collect three mystical elements: Sun, Moon, and Stars. The game features whimsical humor and vibrant visuals, drawing comparisons to the Parodius series. A notable boss encounter includes a cartoon elephant playing the trumpet, enhancing the game's quirky charm.
Seven warriors are challenged to head on a quest to find three powerful elements of Sun, Moon and Stars. Whoever brings the elements to the Potion God will be rewarded the legendary Almighty Potion and all its magical powers.[3]
Through gameplay cutscenes (and endings) it appears that the zany, uproarious (and at times rather adult) humor has considerably increased since the original Gunbird. The game has numerous similarities to the Parodius series, including the final boss in the game, a cartoon elephant playing a trumpet.
