Michael Jackson's Moonwalker (マイケルジャクソンズ ムーンウォーカー) is a Sega Mega Drive action platform game developed by Sega CS and published by Sega. Based on the titular 1988 film Michael Jackson's Moonwalker and starring world-famous pop music artist Michael Jackson, it was first released in August 1990 as one of the system's earliest big-name titles. It later received a relatively faithful Sega Master System port early the following year by developer Arc.

Moonwalker, alongside its arcade counterpart of the same name, is notable for being one of the earliest uses of direct celebrity endorsement in video game production, and marks the very beginning of Jackson's long and storied collaboration with Sega.[14][15]

Story

The game is based on the Smooth Criminal segment of the film Michael Jackson's Moonwalker, following Michael Jackson in suit and fedora through stages based on his different music videos as he rescues children from the drug dealer Mr. Big.[16]

Gameplay

Shooting star

Michael Jackson's Moonwalker is an action platform game which emphasises exploration. It plays similarly to the developer's previous game Shinobi. Michael has attacks based on his dance moves and a significant jumping ability. Each round contains three levels, the objective of which is to find and rescue all of the children. Upon doing so, Michael's pet chimpanzee Bubbles arrives and directs him to the boss area, where Mr. Big taunts Michael and dispatches a wave of goons (which includes gangsters and animals) to battle him.

Michael walks with Left and Right and crouches with Down. He can moonwalk by holding B and then Left or Right (though this has no gameplay benefit). He jumps with C and jumps off platforms with Down+C. He climbs stairs with Up-left or Up-right and descends them with Down-left or Down-right. While on a staircase, he can slide down the banister with A, which knocks out enemies in the way. He can look in doors, windows, car trunks, bushes, and other background elements with Up. These areas often contain missing children or enemies. He can also enter elevators or caves or activate teleporters in some levels with Up.

Michael has a Star Power gauge that indicates his health and also the strength of his attacks. His Star Power is depleted as he is harmed by enemies; rescuing children restores a portion of his Star Power (and his Star Power is fully restored after rescuing the last child in a level). Michael attacks by punching or kicking with B. He can attack while crouching with Down+B or attack upward with Up+B. He can also attack while jumping. His attacks are accompanied by magic sparkles that extend their range, and the power of his attacks and the size of the sparkles is dependent on his Star Power. When his Star Power is high, the gauge is blue and his attacks are strongest. When it gets lower, the gauge turns yellow and his attacks are weaker and his sparkles lose distance. When he is low on Star Power, the gauge turns red and his attacks no longer have sparkles. Attacks can shove some objects, such as chairs and rocks, which hurt enemies in their way.

Michael can use Star Magic by holding A, which performs special attacks but also drains Star Power (and therefore health). He initially spins, attacking nearby enemies. If the button is held for longer, Michael also throws his fedora at enemies, which can be directed with Left and Right. If the button is held for even longer, Michael performs the Dance Attack, a special ability where enemies are compelled to dance to short beats from "Bad," "Thriller," and "Another Part of Me" before being defeated as a result.[16] Star Magic can also interact with the environment in some ways, such as dropping a staircase in the first round or opening a manhole cover in the second round. If Michael does not have enough Star Power to use Star Magic, pressing A causes him to grab his crotch but does not attack enemies. Michael loses a life if he loses all of his Star Power. The game ends if Michael runs out of lives, but it can be continued a limited number of times.

In certain levels, rescuing a certain child first triggers a shooting star to fall from the sky that can be grabbed, briefly transforming Michael into the giant robot from the movie. In this form, he can fly with C, shoot eye lasers with B (which can be directed downward by holding Down while firing), and shoot homing missiles with A (which cost Star Power). The form lasts for about thirty seconds, during which Michael is invulnerable to most attacks from enemies (but can still be harmed by the laser guns that some of them wield) and can see hiding children. Michael automatically changes into this form for the penultimate showdown with Mr. Big's henchmen. Michael additionally transforms into a spaceship for the final battle, which consists of a flight simulator-like minigame.

The game has three selectable difficulty levels (Easy, Normal, and Hard). There is a two-player mode where players take turns playing.

Rounds

Each round (besides the final round) has three levels.

The music for this round is "Another Part of Me." The music was "Thriller" in the prototype version, but it was changed in the final version, likely because that song was written by Rod Temperton and not Michael Jackson.[17] Michael can grab the tree branches in this round with Up+C when in front of them.

Michael's Battle Plane
Michael's spaceship moves with the D-Pad and attacks with A, B, or C (which can be held for rapid-fire). The radar in the bottom-right of the HUD shows the location of Mr. Big's spaceship as a blue dot.

Master System version

The game is an action platformer played as Michael Jackson, who must rescue all of the children in each level. After finding the last child, Michael is taken to a room where he fights waves of Mr. Big's thugs. The player can see how many children remain missing by pausing the game with  PAUSE .

Michael moves with Left and Right. He moonwalks by holding 1 while moving. He jumps with 2 and jumps off platforms with Down+2. He attacks enemies by punching or kicking with 1, which can also be done while crouching or jumping. He climbs stairs with Up-left or Up-right and descends them with Down-left or Down-right. He can open doors, windows, car trunks, and other background elements with Up, which can help him find lost children or bonus items (but also sometimes contain enemies or bombs). He can also enter elevators or caves or activate teleporters in some levels with Up.

Michael has a Star Magic gauge. He loses Star Magic when he takes damage from an enemy or hazard. Michael can perform a dance attack by holding 1, which defeats all enemies on the screen but costs three segments of the Star Magic gauge. The dance attack cannot be performed if Michael does not have more than three segments on his Star Magic gauge. Michael loses a life if he loses all of his Star Magic, and the game ends if Michael runs out of lives, but it can be continued an unlimited number of times.

Items

The following items can be found inside doors and other hidden spots.

Wikipedia.jp lists the director by the name 小泉 治, due to an edit made by the arcade version's planner Roppyaku Tsurumi. Documents for the game and the unreleased Mega-CD game Michael Jackson's Dangerous, shown by Roppyaku Tsurumi on social media, credit both console Michael Jackson games to Tadashi Koizumi.[19]
