Panorama Cotton

Panorama Cotton[a] is a 1994 rail shooter video game developed by Success and published by Sunsoft for the Mega Drive exclusively in Japan on August 12, 1994.

Cotton can upgrade her weapon to higher levels as the player progresses, and can also cast magical spells by collecting special items.

Panorama Cotton's story begins when Silk's sister Knit comes to tell her that Queen Velvet has started saying things which do not make any sense.

Perplexed, Silk and Knit deduce that a burnt Willow which recently turned up in the castle garden is responsible for the Queen's odd behavior.

[3][14] Mean Machines Sega's Marlon compared the game with both After Burner and Space Harrier, commending its fast pseudo-3D sprite-scaling visuals.

[15] Readers of the Japanese Sega Saturn Magazine voted to give the title a 8.0367 out of 10 score, ranking at the number 113 spot in a poll, indicating a large popular following.
