Other names: ワンダーモモ

A beat 'em up arcade game that was released exclusively in Japan by Namco in 1987.

The game puts the player in the role of the heroine of a (fictional) Ultraman-type series. Unusually, the setting is that of a live stage show, rather than the metafictional world of the show itself; players are actually assuming control of Kanda Momo, the actress who is supposedly portraying the heroine. In addition to featuring a female protagonist at a time when this was rare, the game is notable for an element considered quite risqué for the time: Momo frequently has to avoid a photographer in the audience looking to take a pantyshot, and she will become momentarily embarrassed (stunned) if he succeeds.

Singer Momoi Haruko covers and cosplays as Wonder Momo for her album.

In idolmaster, Wonder Momo's costume is available for the girls to wear.
