Ulala

Ulala is the protaganist of Sega's Space Channel 5 series of dancing videogames, and debuted with the eponymous original title on its release for the Dreamcast in December 1999.

Sonic Series


Ulala's relation to the Sonic series comes in the form of an appearance as an unlockable character in Sonic Riders. The reporter is in fact one of the fastest characters in the game, with speed stats rivaling those of Sonic, Shadow, and Jet. Her Extreme Gear board is the "Channel5." However, she didn't reappear in it's sequel, Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity and is replaced by Billy Hatcher.

She is also a playable character in the game Sega Superstars.In her minigame, she needs (like in Space Channel 5) to remember different dance move when they are shown by the Morolians, then repeat it in time with six different buttons.

The dancing newscaster makes another playable appearance beside Sonic in SEGA Superstars Tennis. Here, she tends to attract wolf-whistles from bystanders (including NiGHTS, despite the fact that the Nightmaren jester is supposedly androgynous).

Ulala also appears with Sonic and his friends on the track in Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing. In that game, she needs to be purchased and you need 12 500 miles. She will race on the track with her Astro Glider, a kind of floating pod.

Even more-so than with NiGHTS, Ulala's canonical relationship with the Sonic universe is dubious at best. She is only present in spin-off games, and then only as a supplemental character, not tied in to the actual storyline.
