'''The Blastronaut''' is an astronaut inside a ship that destroys alien invaders. They made their debut in the minigame [[Shoot-'em-up|Shoot 'em Up]] in [[Rhythm Heaven|''Rhythm Heaven'']].
The {{Nihongo|Blastronaut|コスモ アタッカー|Cosmo Attacker}} is tasked with attacking aliens invading earth in [[Shoot-'em-up 2|Shoot-'em-up]] in ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'' and ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''.
==Story==
The crew keeps a [[Reading Material (Rhythm Heaven)#Crew's Log|log]], in which the commander of the battleship "SHMUP"<ref>"Ich bin der Befehlshaber des Schlachtschiffes „SHMUP“, das unsere Heimatwelt vor der Bedrohung durch außerirdische Invasoren schützt." (I am the commander of the battleship "SHMUP", which protects our homeworld from the threat of alien invaders.) ~ [[Reading Material (Rhythm Heaven)#Crew's Log|Schiffslogbuch]] (Ship's Log), ''[[Rhythm Paradise]]''</ref> talks about their duty of protecting their home planet from alien invaders. The enemy they fight is not only aggressive, but also fueled by an unstoppable rhythm. They talk about how keeping the beat in such tense conditions can make one forget who they are, but they remember their task upon hearing the voice of their dear friend, the {{Nihongo|Shoot-'Em-Up Radio Lady|シューティング通信娘|Shooting Tsūshin Musume}}. She gives them instructions and encouragement on the com-link, and awaits their 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 (DS)|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 [[Sarge and Squadmates|Squadmate]] this time.
 
In the [[Endless Game]] [[Shoot-'em-up 2#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.


Though it is unknown how they look like without the ship since they don't show up normally, they are credited as a character, represented by the ship itself, in the cast credits. The ship is colored white with a red line on it. The cockpit's glass is blue (green in the game), and the engines are gray with green holes inside. Most people often mistake the [[Shoot-'Em-Up Radio Lady]] as the one named Blastronaut, but she has her own profile.
In [[Remix 2 (DS)|Remix 2]], a more wooden battleship is shown shooting down coconut-esque aliens near the moon. In [[Remix 9 (DS)|Remix 9]], a new fighter design attacks the homeworld. [[Remix 10 (DS)|Remix 10]] features a yellow background, with the enemies being simple targets, and one resembling a [[Stepswitchers|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 outside the window in [[Munchy Monk (Wii)|Munchy Monk]] in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]''.


Blastronaut is also theorized to be the ship itself, as said in [https://youtu.be/Ch1dycjHSL8 jan Misali's Rhythm Heaven iceberg video], though this possibility remains unconfirmed.
The captain is known to invite friends for coffee and desert through the Commpad after missions<ref>"I don't know if I should report the captain--he keeps using his CommPad to invite us out for coffee and dessert after missions. It's against the rules...but I love dessert." ~ [[CommPad]], ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''</ref>, as well as using it to order pizza, play rhythm games and surf the Internet<ref>"本部よりレンラク!なになに、「今夜、飲みにいくぞ!」隊長は、すぐニンムとはカンケーないメッセージを、送ってくる!ぼくも、気になるあのコにこっそり送っちゃお。ちなみに、この通信パッドはゲームもできちゃうスグレモノ。" (Contacting headquarters! What, "I'm going to drink tonight!", the captain immediately sends a message that has nothing to do with the mission! I also secretly forwarded it to that kid I like. By the way, this communication pad is a great for playing games on.) ~ [[CommPad|通信パッド]] (Communication pad), ''[[Rhythm Tengoku: The Best+]]''</ref><ref>"Notre capitaine exagère ! Il utilise le matériel du vaisseau pour commander des pizzas, jouer à des jeux de rythme et surfer sur Internet. Mais j'aime beaucoup trop la pizza pour le dénoncer..." (Our captain is exaggerating! He uses the ship's equipment to order pizza, play rhythm games and surf the Internet. But I love pizza way too much to denounce it...) ~ [[CommPad|Panneau de contrôle]] (Control panel), ''[[Rhythm Paradise Megamix]]''</ref>. Plastic Model Kits in 1/48 scale of the Space Battleship STG-7 are also sold, with very detailed cockpits, but no pilot included<ref>"It's a Space Battleship STG-7 Plastic Model Kit in 1/48 scale! The cockpit is amazingly detailed! Note: Pilot not included." ~ [[Model Spaceship]], ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''</ref>.
==Story==
In "Crew's Log", It is shown that the Blastronaut has been fighting alien invaders for a long time and that they have nearly lost view of themselves. It is the Radio Lady's voice that reminds them of who they are. The Blastronaut sees her as a dear friend and waits for the day they'll be able to come home to see her again.

==Trivia==
[[Category:Rhythm Heaven Megamix Characters]]
*The name "Blastronaut" in [[Rhythm Heaven]] Cast is shown next to a sprite depicting the Shoot'-Em-Up Radio Lady holding the ship. In the French, German, Italian, and Spanish versions of ''[[Rhythm Paradise]]'', this name seems to be mistakenly attributed to the lady, giving it a similar name to what she gets in [[Reading Material (Rhythm Heaven)#Supporting Cast 1|Supporting Cast 1]].
[[Category:Rhythm Heaven Fever Characters]]
*The CommPad as seen in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'' resembles a [[wikipedia:Wii U|Wii U Gamepad]].

*The information given in the [[Rhythm Item]]s is generally consistent across languages, but some alter certain details. For example, the French version states the model ship is in 1/42 scale rather 1/48, and that the pilot and pizzas are not included in the set<ref>"Voici le formidable vaisseau de combat STG-7. Le vaisseau de tous nos héros combattant les invasions aliens ! Appréciez la finesse des détails du cockpit ! Reproduction à l'échelle 1/42. Pilote et pizzas non inclus." (Here is the formidable STG-7 fighter ship. The ship of all our heroes fighting alien invasions! Enjoy the fine details of the cockpit! 1/42 scale reproduction. Pilot and pizzas not included.) ~ [[Model Spaceship|Maquette de vaisseau]] (Ship model), ''[[Rhythm Paradise Megamix]]''</ref>.
