Heavenly Guardian, known in Japan as Yukinko Daisenpuu ~Sayuki to Koyuki no Hie-Hie Daisoudou~ and in Europe as Legend of Sayuki, is a scrolling shooter game developed by Starfish SD. The developer self-published the title in Japan, while UFO Interactive Games and 505 Games published the game in North America and Europe respectively. It was released on the Wii and PlayStation 2 in all three regions.

STORY:
The story is different in single- and multi-player modes, but the gameplay remains identical.

In single player, the story centers around the snow goddess Sayuki's love for a boy who lives in a nearby village. Upon visiting the village one day, she learns that the boy has fallen under a curse, sleeping permanently. Sayuki then travels across the land with her pet snow rabbit, Toto, to find the ingredients for the cure to his curse.

In multiplayer, the story is about a beauty contest held by the Snow Goddess Tribe. Sayuki and her younger sister, Koyuki, decide to compete for first place. The contest is a trial race for the two sisters to destroy the most ghosts and collect the most snowballs in their path,

GAMEPLAY:
Heavenly Guardian, like the Kiki KaiKai series, is a scrolling shooter where the player moves a character in any direction and fire projectiles at enemies. It can be played alone, or cooperatively with a second player controlling Sayuki's sister, Koyuki. In single-player, Sayuki is followed by Toto, her pet snow rabbit, who shoots freezing shots in the same direction Sayuki attacks.

Upon defeating bosses in the story mode, they can be rebattled in the Boss Attack mode.

Players can take on the challenge in Story, Boss Attack, Score Attack, and Time Attack modes. Gamers can blast through the creatures alone or team up with a friend for multiplayer co-op action.

Features:
Freeze ghosts, demons, and similar enemies by summoning blizzards
Acquire such power-ups as spread shots, homing missiles, and more
Features two-player cooperative action across eight stages
