Space Channel 5 is a music video game that's developed by United Game Artist under the direction of Tetsuya Mizuguchi and published by Sega. This game was released on Dreamcast, PlayStation 2, and Game Boy Advance. In Space Channel 5 the player takes control of Ulala, a TV diva who has to out-dance evil aliens and rescue hostages as she tries to get her TV ratings to soar.[1][2]
Space Michael[]
Space Michael
Michael Jackson appears as a character and is called Space Michael, nearly 500 years in the future. Space Michael is Michael Jackson himself, nearly 500 years in the future. In 1999, he prevented a crisis that would've led to the Earth's destruction.[3] In the English version, this is referred to as an alien invasion.[4] The crisis being alluded to is actually referring to the events of the game Michael Jackson's Moonwalker.[5]
During Space Channel 5, Space Michael works as a reporter for Channel 5 under an exclusivity contract.[6] He reports for the show "Star News Station" but also host a variety of other shows for Channel 5.[7] In the sequel, he becomes the new chief of the broadcasting station.[8]
Appearance[]
He wears a full-body, one-piece suit that is metallic silver in color, with the Channel 5 logo on the chest. This suit cuts off at the hands and feet. Unlike many of the other main characters, he does not wear gloves of any sort. His shoes are white, with silver and black soles. Lastly, he wears a blue armband with a white 5 on it, and a pair of silver propulsion canisters on his back. Similarly, his guns are also silver, and identical in design to Ulala's.
Personality[]
Space Michael is a caring soul who does his best to keep the crew of Channel 5 safe. He will dance and sing against evil-doers to protect those around him, even if Channel 5 studios were to crumble around him. His personality in game is limited by his screen time, but it would presumably be the same as his real-life counterpart.
