| ~ Brandy Smith. Space Channel 5. |
Brandy Smith, also known as Space Grandma and Space Granny, is an elderly civilian and recurring minor character in the Space Channel 5 series. Originally a guitarist and singer for the “Scan Teens,” Brandy is in good shape and can still dance and groove as if she was still a young teenager.
In Space Channel 5: Part 2, Brandy Smith also helps Ulala earn the Ear of Corn mic accessory while going though the character profiles.
Appearance[]
Brandy Smith has auburn hair (light orange) that is tied in several stacked buns with a star and moon stick on top. These sticks hold her buns together, presumably. She also wears a yellow and red striped shirt with a collar, as well as purple leggings with a white stripe going down the legs. She wears red shoes and dark purple bracelets, and also carries around a blue staff to help her walk. Her cane was silver in Space Channel 5.
For facial features and her body, her eyes are widened and her eyebrows are thick, as well as having tons of wrinkles all over her face. Brandy Smith is also very short and has small hands and big feet. Her short appearance is likely due to her posture; she is usually hunched over when not dancing.
History[]
Background[]
In her youth, she was the guitarist and singer for the “Scan Teens,” a band that lasted only for about 200 days but left a huge impact on the Galaxy.[2] Said band managed to set a sales record by selling 80 trillion records. At one point had more than 600 million spectators in attendance for their Grand Space Live Concert. The band quickly broke up when her sister, the drummer, got tired of playing the drums.

Report 2: Spaceship S.O.S.!
Space Channel 5 - Secret Hostages -Video Request-
Video showing Brandy as hostage (She appears at 2:30).
Brandy Smith appears in the Extra Mode version of Report 2, at the Luxury Spacecraft G. To find her, it is necessary to have less than 90% views before the Cockpit section ends. This will make Ulala go to the Dining Hall again, rather than going to the Garbage Room and Brandy Smith will appear replacing the Space Diva Amy Amania there.
Just like every other rescued hostage, Brandy will follow and assist Ulala throughout the rest of the Report once she is saved. When Brandy joins Ulala, she will sustain herself on her staff as she walks and all of the other rescued hostages will mimic her.
Space Channel 5: Part 2[]
Report 1: Ulala Back in Action!
Brandy Smith in Space Channel 5 Part 2.
Brandy Smith's name is changed to "Space Granny" in the sequel. She's aboard the Space Symphony when the Rhythm Rogues invade, leaving her controllably grooving to the beat.
During Report 1, Brandy Smith is taken hostage by Shadow and the Rhythm Rogues aboard the Space Symphony. Brandy Smith can either be saved or “abandoned” if Ulala fails to un-hypnotize her. If saved, Brandy Smith will take flight on a hovering, blue disc and will follow Ulala for the remainder of the report. Eventually, she and Ulala (among many others) will arrive in The Lookout Dome (and will not be taking flight on a hovercraft any longer) and will assist Ulala in defeating Purge’s robots.
Report 6: Purge’s T.V. Special
Brandy Smith returns to the Report 6, where she assists Ulala in the final battle against Purge the Great and after Purge being launched into space, Brandy can be seen marching to the end of the galaxy.
Costume
There's a Brandy Smith costume, which is unlocked by saving the said character in Report 1.
Unlockable Corn item.
Ear of Corn
If the player checks Noize's in-game profile, Noize will announce that he is making a new type of mike. He then tells Ulala that The Heart Woman was looking for her. If the player checks The Heart Woman's profile, she will tell Ulala that Space Granny has the secret image she was looking for. By checking Space Granny's profile, she will confirm that she has the item Ulala was looking for but declares that it has nothing to do with the game. She then reveals that Noize is finished making his mike now. By checking Noize's in-game profile after that, Noize will gift the player with the Ear of Corn item, which Ulala will be able to replace her microphone with.
