  1. ↑ Certain award groups do not simply award one winner. They recognize several different recipients, have runners-up and have third place. Since this is a specific recognition and is different from losing an award, runner-up mentions are considered wins in this award tally. For simplification and to avoid errors, each award in this list has been presumed to have had a prior nomination.

Space Channel 5 is a music, rhythm, and science fiction video game series owned by Sega, making its debut in December 1999 and was originally developed by United Game Artists. The games feature English voices, including those from Apollo Smile, Sumalee Montano, Michael Jackson, Cassandra Lee Morris, Gary S. Martinez, Toni Barry, Larissa Murray, Cherami Leigh, Tom Clarke Hill, and D. C. Douglas. The games follow lead protagonist Reporter Ulala (prominently voiced by Apollo Smile) as she under-covers evil threats and disturbances across the galaxy while defeating foes with her savvy dance moves — noticeably with the help of Space Pirate Jaguar and Reporter Pudding.

The first game in the series originally did not sell well[1], and was not a financial or commercial success.[2] Despite the game's sales, Space Channel 5 (1999) was met with positive reviews and praise towards its music, originality, art style, and characters — particularly Ulala, who was nominated for the "Original Game Character of the Year" at the Game Developers Choice Awards in 2000[3][4]. It’s sequel, Space Channel 5: Part 2, received more praise than its predecessor, and was recognized for its major improvements, changes, and "unique" voice cast, while also being a critical and commercial success.[5] Part 2 currently holds a 78% and 79% on Metacritic for the Xbox 360[6] and PlayStation 2 (part of the Special Edition)[7] respectively. By the 2010s, the games began to receive more attention[8], with the original game being evaluated as a cult-classic within video game culture, and the series receiving a cult following.

The Space Channel 5 series has received numerous accolades and nominations, particularly for Space Channel 5 and Space Channel 5: Part 2. The series' soundtrack continuously receives praise, while Ulala and Pudding — two of the main characters — have been highlighted as memorable video game characters[9][10], making appearances in several spin-offs and crossovers, most noticeably in the critically well-received 2012 kart-racer, Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed. The first game in the series was nominated in four categories at the 1999 Japan Game Awards.
