Summarize this article for a 10 year old
Parodius! From Myth to Laughter, released in Japan as Parodius Da! Shinwa kara Owarai e[lower-alpha 1] and outside Japan as Parodius (from "Parody Gradius"), is a shoot 'em up arcade video game and the second title in the Parodius series produced by Konami. The European SNES, Sega Saturn and PlayStation versions are also known as Parodius: Non-Sense Fantasy. The gameplay is stylistically very similar to the Gradius series, but the graphics and music are intentionally absurd.
