The game stars Space Channel 5 reporter [[Ulala]], tasked with upping the ratings of the channel, and stopping the "evil" Morolians, who are forcing the galaxy to dance.

==History==
 
===Development===
 
According to Tetsuya Mizuguchi, the ''Space Channel 5'' project was born after a request from Sega to produce a game which appealed to "casual female gamers". Unaware that such a group in society existed, Mizuguchi spent much of the design phase interviewing young girls, ultimately coming to the conclusion that the puzzle genre was most suited to this demographic. However, in a bid to also appeal to a male audience as well, the game was designed to be competitive.
 
 
''Space Channel 5'' is primilary inspired by western culture of the 1960s, particularly a mix of fashion and espionage thriller movies such as James Bond. Its main theme, ''Mexican Flyer'' was originally released in 1965 (the same year Mizuguchi was born) by British composer and trumpeter, Ken Woodman.
 
 
Originally ''Space Channel 5'' was said to simply be an interactive music video. Pressing buttons in time with the music would change the video, but little else would occur. Displeased by the lack of "fun", Tetsuya Mizuguchi demanded that elements inspired by the dance troupe, [[wikipedia:Stomp (dance troupe)|Stomp]] were implemented to liven up the gameplay. UGA's staff at the time struggled to comprehend some of the more radical ideas Mizuguchi put forward, so a pantomine was brought to UGA to lift spirits, ultimately inspiring the numerous "strike a pose" segments within the game.
 
 
Half way through production, Mizuguchi was contacted by [[Shuji Utsumi]], who informed him that [[Michael Jackson]] was interested in taking part in the game. Utsumi had shown the star a 60-70% complete version of the game, set to be finalised within a month, and after some negotiations, "Space Michael" was put into the game. Mizuguchi and Utsumi would later found Q Entertainment in 2003.
 
 
Because the player has no control over Ulala's movement through stages, much of ''Space Channel 5'' relies on pre-rendered backgrounds, leading to arguably more detailed visuals than what the Dreamcast could achieve in real-time.
 
 
===Release===
 
To promote the game, Sega put on a display outside the Q-Front tower in Shibuya, demonstrating the game in action on three large screens. Sega executives had their photos taken alongside [[Tetsuya Mizuguchi]] and a human representation of Ulala{{magref|edge|80|128}}.
 
 
Ulala also made an appearance at the MTV Music Video Awards on September 7 to hand out the Best Dance Video award{{magref|odmuk|12|27}}.
 
 
===Sequels and re-releases===
 
''Space Channel 5'' was followed by a direct sequel, ''[[Space Channel 5: Part 2]]'', and then ported to the [[PlayStation 2]] in 2002. In the US, the PlayStation 2 port was bundled with ''Part 2'' in ''[[Space Channel 5: Special Edition]]'', published by [[Agetec]].
 
 
However, apart from a [[Game Boy Advance]] adaption, ''[[Space Channel 5: Ulala's Cosmic Attack]]'', released in 2003, the game has yet to be re-released for newer systems. ''Part 2'' was released as part of ''[[Dreamcast Collection]]'' in 2011 (before separate releases on [[Xbox Live Arcade]], [[PlayStation Network]] and [[Steam]]), but the original game has not received the same treatment, presumably due to its heavy reliance on pre-rendered video. Ulala has cameoed in a number of Sega games, however, and is playable in the likes of ''[[Sega Superstar Tennis]]'' and ''[[Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing]]''.

    Space Channel 5 (スペースチャンネル5) is a video game for the Sega Dreamcast released in Japan on 16 December 1999, North America on 6 June 2000 and in Europe on 8 October 2000. It was the first game to be developed by the newly opened United Game Artists studio within Sega, spearheadded by Tetsuya Mizuguchi, although the UGA name had not yet been adopted by the original Japanese release.

    The game stars Space Channel 5 reporter Ulala, tasked with upping the ratings of the channel, and stopping the "evil" Morolians, who are forcing the galaxy to dance.

    Gameplay

    Space Channel 5 is a rhythm game built similarly in nature to electronic memorisation games such Simon, and video games such as PaRappa the Rapper. Throughout the game the computer shows a sequence of moves—dance steps in this case—and the player must copy them successfully to advance. Repeated failure will force the show to be cancelled, effectively triggering a game over.

    Space Channel 5 utilises six different commands - Up "Up", Down "Down", Left "Left", Right "Right", A "Shoot" and B "Shoot". The Up button corresponds to the aliens raising both paws or Ulala raising both hands. Pressing Down causes Ulala to lower only her right hand as her left hand contains a microphone. When either the Left or Right button are pressed she moves her hand in that direction. The Morolians will mimic Ulala's moves so pressing the directional pad will affect them also.

    The A "shoot" button is used for shooting at the Morolians or simply to perform another dance move. The B "shoot" button is usually used for rescuing hostages. There also appears to be mispronunciation of "shoot" when the player presses either the A or B button. In the manual, it says "shoot", but the Morolians say words that are quite similar to "kiss", "chin". Ulala, Pudding, Jaguar and Evila say "chu", while Fuse says "shoot" or "chu".

    In between these scenes, Ulala appears to be taunting the opponent (if the player gets all the moves correct) or have messed up the dance (if the player gets incorrect moves or misses a move). Ulala is given a certain number of hearts in case she misses a move or get an incorrect move. Performing a incorrect move will cause her to lose a heart. If she loses every one of her hearts she will then hunch over and become upset, with Fuse shouting at her.
