Darius Island (ダライアスアイランド Dariasu Airando?) is the ninth island in Rainbow Islands. The second of the three final islands is an homage to Taito's horizontal shooter, Darius. The typical cartoon inspired enemies and backgrounds are replaced with slightly more realistic images found in Darius. Every round is full of enemies that have made the transfer from shooter to platform game. Surprisingly, the Darius Islands feature the most unique set of enemies that you have faced on a single island. The background music also comes from one of the stages in the Darius series.
