What is your favorite obscure Retro Game?

Mine is Lady Sia for GBA. It's just a platformer but I just love it played and completed more 20 times. Will probably speedrun it in future.
But of a desperate cry for help, but there was a 2D game on the NDS, in which you controlled a mech to fly through side-view levels and shoot enemies and turrets. It also had a story mode with an anime girl in orange and anime boy in blue as mech pilots. There was also a level editor, and you could transfer the levels to other DS's with the same game using sound, which sounded a lot like internet over a phone line.
I played this so much back in the day but I can't find the game (my mother discarded all my games from the attic some time after moving out, inc. fully functional SNES. Unrelated, I just needed to reshare the trauma) not the name of it.
Does anyone have any idea which game this could be?
The game you're thinking of is Bangai-O Spirits: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bangai-O_Spirits. It was a DS sequel to Bangai-O on the Sega Dreamcast (another excellent, and imho the superior version). I had the DS version as well and it was a great game. If you ever get the chance (emu or native) I'd highly recommend playing the original on Dreamcast. Pure Arcade shmup goodness.
