- TRIVIA -


Developed by Seta and produced by Banpresto.


This game is known in China as "Ultra Keibitai" (translates as 'Ultra Guards').

This game is known in Japan as "Urutora Keibitai" ("Ultra Garrison").


This game is based on 'Ultraman', a famous Japanese live-action superhero series that has had numerous sequels and spin-offs since its debut in the 1960s. Generally, the main character is a normal human who uses an alien device to transform into a giant red-and-silver (sometimes with blue) creature called an Ultraman to combat alien monsters with the help of a special military team. Some of the subsequent shows in the series include 'Ultraseven', 'Ultraman Leo', 'Ultraman Taroh', and 'Ultraman Tiga'.
