What is Panorama Cotton?
"Panorama Cotton," is a delicate and colorful rail shooter made by Success for Sunsoft to publish and release on Sega Genesis in 1994. Being the third entry in the Cotton series, it forgoes the traditional style of side scrolling in favor of pseudo-3D scrolling, very much in the vein of Sega's "Space Harrier." Players step into the colorful anime-style fantasy world of this game, controlling Cotton, a whimsical witch who adores magical candies called Willows. As one might imagine, the levels scroll in all sorts of directions: vertically, horizontally, and diagonally, giving the game a very different kind of challenge.
How to Play
In "Panorama Cotton," players guide Cotton through a series of levels, shooting enemies and dodging obstacles. Cotton can move freely across the screen to position herself and aim. Enemies and obstacles have various approaches to their countering, and as progress is made, the player can collect items that upgrade Cotton's weapon and empower her with potent magical spells. This added layer gives more depth into how one is to carry out combat.
Tips & Tricks
- Learn to use movement: Take full advantage of Cotton's free movement to line up shots while dodging enemy attacks.
- Collect purposely: Focus on gathering items that upgrade your weapon or provide new spells; they can change the tide of battles.
- Practice the enemy patterns: Study and memorize attack patterns so you can better spot and avoid threats.
- Use spells wisely: Hold on to your strongest spells for moments of greatest need, particularly boss battles.
History
The Cotton series tells the story of magical Willows that light the world. In the first game, "Cotton: Fantastic Night Dreams," the world was saved when Cotton and Silk defeated the evil Demoness Wool, who had stolen the seven Willows. "Panorama Cotton" carries on with that magical tale, offering opportunities for players to realize new adventures in a gorgeous world.
