~ Ulala, Space Channel 5. |
Morolina, or Dirty Dance Bot Morolina, is a Morolian robot and boss in Space Channel 5.
Appearance[]
Morolina is a pink, saucer-shaped robot who is much smaller than Coco★Tapioca, but still considerably larger than any human. She has eight long tentacle-like arms that match her body color, and two skinny magenta legs. These limbs can retract into her body fully, enclosed by magenta covers. She has two long yellow horns that can fire ring beams. She has a wide yellow mouth that houses a long and prehensile tongue. Above this mouth are eight small yellow eyes, all in a horizontal line.
History[]
Space Channel 5[]
Report 2: Spaceship S.O.S.!
Morolina is the second boss in the game appearing at the Luxury Spacecraft G. When Ulala goes to the Observation Platform, Morolina is holding a group of Space Children as hostages.
The first battle segment is a dance battle where Ulala will need to copy her dancing commands to beat her. When Morolina says "chu", she will be holding yellow Morolians and will create ring beams above her horns and send them to Ulala. The rings will hover above her head until she successfully dances them away.
After a while, Morolina will start using her hostages, that is the Space Children, to attack. Morolina will sometimes say "chu" holding Space Children instead of Morolians. When that happens, the player will need to press the rescue button instead of the regular "chu" button.
Then, Morolina will start malfunctioning, exploding wildly yet somehow keeping her body intact. The explosions damage the Gravity Generator, making Ulala float. It's at this moment that a new segment will begin, where Morolina will show Morolians to shoot at Ulala, who will need to copy her move to shoot first. Morolina will also show Space Children, and Ulala will need to save them with the rescue beam.
Once that segment is over, the last one will happen, where Morolina can’t take it anymore and uses her tongue to grab Ulala, who'll need to shoot to the rhythm to avoid being trapped and zapped. Once Morolina receives enough shots, she will let go of Ulala. The battle will be over and Morolina will be freed from Blank's control.

Morolina can later be seen at the end, marching to the end of the Galaxy along with every other character.
