The Blastronaut (コスモ アタッカー?, Cosmo Attacker) is tasked with attacking aliens invading earth in Shoot-'em-up in Rhythm Heaven and Rhythm Heaven Megamix.

Story

The crew keeps a log, in which the commander of the battleship "SHMUP"[1] talks about his duty of protecting his home planet from alien invaders. The enemy they fight is not only aggressive, but also fueled by an unstoppable rhythm. He talks about how keeping the beat in such tense conditions can make one forget who they are, but he remembers his task upon hearing the voice of his dear friend, the Shoot-'Em-Up Radio Lady (シューティング通信娘?, Shooting Tsūshin Musume). She gives him instructions and encouragement on the com-link, and awaits his return.

In Shoot-'em-up and Shoot-'em-up 2, the battleship is seen shooting down aliens near the planet's orbit, with the Shoot-'Em-Up Radio Lady giving her words between each wave. In Shoot-'Em-Up 2, the enemies attack with a new fighter, and a new ship appears to have taken the fight to a green-outlined structure of sorts, presumably the alien's base. The Shoot-'Em-Up Radio Lady is also dressed up like a Squadmate this time.

In the Endless Game Shoot-'Em-Up, the battleship appears to warp through space between each wave. It is shown going from near the home planet through various clusters of stars, shooting down invaders along the way. Finally, they reach the green-outlined structure. After this, the pattern continues through the same enviorments, but with different colors, and a new kind of enemy. The Shoot-'Em-Up Radio Lady only appears to comment when the player reaches a certain scores.

In Remix 2, a more wooden battleship is shown shooting down coconut-esque aliens near the moon. In Remix 9, a new fighter design attacks the homeworld. Remix 10 features a yellow background, with the enemies being simple targets, and one resembling a Stepswitcher as a warning that Lockstep is coming up in the remix. In Citrus Remix, they are fighting orange-like enemies. The ship can also be seen in the sky in Rhythm Tengoku Gold Comic 09 にぎやかでおだやかな夜の巻き (A lively and peaceful night by Maki), and outside the window in Munchy Monk in Rhythm Heaven Fever.

The captain is known to invite friends for coffee and dessert through the Commpad after missions[2], as well as using it to order pizza, play rhythm games and surf the Internet[3][4]. Plastic Model Kits in 1/48 scale of the Space Battleship STG-7 are also sold, with very detailed cockpits, but no pilot included[5].
