Galaxy Fight: Universal Warriors is a 1995 fighting developed by
Sunsoft for the
Neo Geo, the first in an impromptu trilogy followed up by

Astra Superstars. Characters include:

- Kazuma: A space ninja that accompanies Rolf, who he also declares as his sworn rival, on his adventures.
- Juri: Growing up on the streets and dumped by the guy she loved, Juri wants to fight Felden in order to prove her worth.
- Roomi: A ditzy cat girl that wants to be more popular.
- Gunter: A giant reptilian alien that, upon the heeding of a prophecy, fights for his tribe.
- Alvan: Prince of the ruined planet Rozalis, Alvan seeks to avenge the genocide of his people at the hands of Felden.
- Musafar: Built by the Fakir Empire, Musafar is sent to gather data on the galaxy's strongest fighters so that it can help in the Fakir Empire's dreams of galactic conquest.
- Golden Done (G. Done): An amnesiac thug seeking to regain the memories of who he is, who seems to have a link with Felden...
Also playable in the game's
Saturn port are the boss characters:
- Bonus: A literal punching bag that appears in the bonus round. Later appears in Waku Waku 7
- Yacopu: Rouwe's pet rabbit, able to shape-shift into the opponent during the second round. Originating from the Sunsoft Gameboy game, Trip World.
- Felden Crais: The main antagonist. If he's not a literal God, then he's certainly close to it.
- Rouwe: A secret boss only fought if you beat arcade mode without losing a single round. The only person that Felden admits to losing to.
The game provides examples of:
- Astral Finale: The introduction to Felden involves the map screen being sucked into a black hole. And then you fight him against the backdrop of a rapidly-warping nebula.
- Breath Weapon: Considering that he's a giant reptile, one of Gunter's specials involves him breathing fire at his enemy.
- Captain Space, Defender of Earth!: Main protagonist Rolf fits the bill in his aesthetic; with a heroic personality, and his moveset involves him using a ray gun and jet pack, for example.
- Expy: Rouwe is a secret boss, old, a Shotoclone, and extremely powerful both in-universe and in-game. Basically he's Space Akuma.
- Guest Fighter: Yacopu originated from the Sunsoft Gameboy game, Trip World, bringing with him his ability to shape-shift and the penultimate boss theme.
- Killer Rabbit: The Pre-Final Boss is Yacopu, who turns out to be a rabbit. A rather nimble, hard to hit rabbit that is capable of copying your moves.
- Tomboy and Girly Girl: Juri's the Tomboy to Roomi's Girly Girl; the former being obsessed with becoming stronger, and the latter being a ditz who's goal in life is to become an Idol Singer.
- Was Once a Man: Musafar's ending reveals that he was a man who was converted into a combat unit by the Fakir Empire. Needless to say, this causes him to rebel against the Empire.
