## History

### Past

Padding is a comedienne who puts on shows at the Space Health Center, mostly in song and dance. She is also an impersonator, and goes as far as sounding and looking just like the person in order to become them, among one of her acts happens to be Pudding.

At some point, Padding hired Pudding’s Bodyguards (or impersonators to play as them) to help put up an act for her newest show.

### *Space Channel 5 Part 2*

“Nature's Revenge!” (Extra Mode)

Before Ulala encounters Shadow, Padding can be seen doing her show in the lobby, strolling similar to Ulala, hinting that she is copying her style.

In an attempt to save President Peace, Ulala is interrupted by Padding and her bodyguards. Padding has taken on a new role as a guitarist and invites Ulala into taking apart in a guitar battle. If Ulala wins, Padding will storm off the stage with both bodyguards, and Ulala will cheer in surprise, while also strumming her guitar. If failed, Padding will tell Ulala it was too easy, and will leave quickly, leaving Ulala in despair and silence.

#### “Meet the Sexy Space Police!” (Extra Mode)

Over the news, Padding hears of the President Peace ransom held by Purge Junior and attempts to get to the scoop before the reporters.

In the sky, Ulala and other reporters attempt to attend the President Peace ransom. Padding then dashes past all of the other reporters, shouting “the scoop is mine!” Before boosting away, she waves to Ulala and attempts to reach President Peace before anyone else, not realizing that the ransom is a trap presented by Purge Junior to give him an advantage to steal antennas from multiple channel broadcasting stations across the Galaxy. As Padding dashes away, Ulala can be heard yelling her name.

#### “The Spies Get Revenge!” (Extra Modes)

Padding shows up in what appears to be a secret lair. Ulala and Space Michael notice Padding behind them, and she explains that she and her crew heard Texas’ broadcast, and laughs. Startled by him, Padding quickly turns around to notice Hoorg is present. The reporters continue to sneak though the lair before noticing Texas, who tells them her reading on Purge Junior and the President points in a certain direction. Shortly after, the alarm goes off, and the reporters are caught. They quickly dance though obstacles before escaping the trap. Shortly after, they fall through a secret door and are surrounded by loads of Rhythm Rogues. Padding and the others quickly take out their chu beams and prepare to attack. Once done, Padding helps Ulala close out before commercial break by saying “tuned.”

After defeating them, they continue on and notice a bright white room, where Shadow immediately appears with a band of Rhythm Rogues. While the others prepare their musical instruments, Padding pulls out her guitar, and they take part in a instrumental battle. After they defeat them, Padding notices Shadow is Jaguar, and watches as Ulala tries to save him. After rescuing the reporter, Jaguar tells them that Purge Junior is using the antennas for his own TV show (The Purge TV Show). Padding and the others then take the hovercraft up to the stadium.

#### “Purge’s T.V Special” (Extra Modes)

Padding and the others notice Purge Junior and the antennas. Padding acknowledges that the antennas are used to suck of the dance energy from the audience of “fans” that were kidnapped. Purge Junior then confesses that he will make the whole Galaxy dance, and Pudding and the others attempt to take down the Rhythm Rogues. After beating them, Paadding, Texas, Hoorg, Space Michael, and Jaguar are blocked off by an invisible wall, while Ulala is able to go on and confront Purge Junior.

Later, while Ulala’s on conscious, Padding and Texas are the first two to help Ulala regain consciousness. Eventually, Ulala awakes, and Pudding and several of Ulala’s allies attempt to dance and stop Purge Junior from taking over the Galaxy with his new mechanics. In the end, Padding helps Ulala dance and sing, which helps to get rid of Purge from the Galaxy. Padding, after saving the Galaxy, helps to lead the March to the end of the Galaxy.
