Space Channel 5[]
Report 1: Introducing...Ulala!
Butch can be found being forced to dance by the Morolians at the Spaceport 9's main floor, during the level's first shooting segment, which happens after Ulala saving Yaz Malloy and Brenda Boggs. However, he only appears if the player misses certain moves during this segment. Once Butch appears, Ulala must memorize and copy the directions given by the Morolians to save him. Just like every other rescued hostage, Butch will follow and assist Ulala throughout the rest of the Report once he is saved.
Report 4: Evil in the Galaxy Revealed!
Butch Agorila can be found again, multiple times, in the Extra Mode version of the Report 4, being forced to dance by the Morolians. However, Butch only appears if the player misses certain moves. He first appears during the shooting segment against Brent Suzuki and Ms. Valala Petrie at the Recording Studio. Later, he can be found again in another shooting segment that happens in the studios of a quiz show, but again, only if the player fails at copying certain moves. To save Butch in both segments, Ulala must once again, memorize and copy the directions given by the Morolians. After being rescued, Butch will follow Ulala throughout the rest of the report.
