She can also shoot small waves of energy in whichever direction she faces (while she is crouching), which is based on the similar move by the Ultraman characters.

The series, illustrated by Omar Dogan and written by Erik Ko and Jim Zub, is set 25 years after the original game and focuses on Momoko, an idol who, after failing a TV show audition, encounters a race of aliens who give her Wonder Momo's powers.

Learning to harness them, she begins battling evil aliens as well as rival hero Amazona, who is actually a popular idol named Akiho Mazo who was inspired by the original Wonder Momo, later revealed to be Momoko's mother.

The series was produced by Graphinica and spanned five seven-minute episodes, which were released weekly on streaming sites Niconico and Crunchyroll beginning on February 6, 2014.

In Japan, Game Machine listed Wonder Momo on their April 1, 1987 issue as being the fourth most-successful table arcade unit of the month.

The Games Machine magazine found it to be "great fun" for its bizarre premise, gameplay and visuals,[9] while Famitsu praised its large, detailed sprites and catchy soundtrack.
