Play SegaSonic Cosmo Fighter Online

SegaSonic Cosmo Fighter is a 1993 arcade shooter by Sega, preserved in MAME 0.243. It arrived during a period when Sega was experimenting with character-driven action games, and it stands as a straightforward, screen-based space shooter rather than a sprawling epic. The game puts you in control of Mighty the Armadillo, piloting a ship through waves of enemy craft and environmental hazards.

You navigate Mighty's ship screen by screen, clearing each area of enemies before advancing. The primary objective is to destroy all foes while avoiding collisions and projectiles; some stages include large boss enemies with multi phase attack patterns. Signature mechanics include a charge shot that builds power when you hold the fire button, and screen clearing bombs usable in tight situations. The pacing is brisk, and the difficulty escalates quickly, demanding sharp reflexes and efficient use of your limited bombs. It feels tense and immediate, especially when narrowly dodging dense bullet patterns.
