A young girl in a bunny costume, riding into battle on the back of a small dragon, is the hero of this cheerful horizontal shooter made by Victor Entertainment and released for the Mega-CD in 1993. Rami's family has guarded a mysterious key for generations, and when it is stolen she has to chase the culprit across a strange, comic version of old Japan. Enemies are a parade of animal-themed oddities and visual gags drawn from Japanese folklore, with animated, voiced cutscenes between stages.
Under the jokes is a solid shooter. Rami and her dragon fire forward, and power-ups collected along the way strengthen and change the shot. Bosses are big and often silly, and stages are colorful and packed with movement. Keio Flying Squadron sold in modest numbers outside Japan, which makes it one of the Sega CD's harder games to find, and a sequel on the Saturn changed genres to become a platformer.
Tips for Keio Flying Squadron
Grab power-ups whenever it is safe; a stronger shot makes the later bosses go down much faster.
Hang back near the left side of the screen during busy sections, giving yourself time to react to waves entering from the right.
Bosses often have clear safe zones, so watch their first attack before pressing in.
