Gameplay

Sailor Venus alias Minako Aino; the only Sailor Senshi who uses a weapon (a chain) in battle - her special attack is Crescent Beam. She is the most difficult Senshi to control, but her chain has a better reach than the other Senshi that are unarmed.

Enemies

The enemies are mostly the youma of the Dark Kingdom that appeared in the anime, but if more than one of the same kind appears at once, the others are coloured differently (a common device for this genre of games):

  • Akan
  • Crane Arashino Joe
  • Garoben
  • Jumeau
  • Jiji
  • Chiffon Puppet (unique to the game)
  • Clown (unique to the game)
  • Female magician (unique to the game)

Stages

The game is divided into five stages:

  • Dream Land Amusement Park
    • Boss: Jadeite (Jedite)
  • Secret Machine
    • Boss: Zoisite (Zoycite) disguised as Sailor Moon
  • North Pole
    • Boss: Kunzite (Malachite)
  • Dark Kingdom
    • Boss: Prince Endymion (Prince Darian) and Queen Beryl

Notes

  • The game was released during the series' third metaseries "Sailor Moon S", which in a year later, the Sailor Moon series would begin in America. Despite this, only a Japanese version exists with only Japanese text.
  • Certain elements were recycled from the Super Famicom version. The Mega Drive version features most of the stages from the SNES version but a few were removed and replaced. Some of the boss battles are different as well, and a new hidden final boss, Queen Metallia is featured when playing on Hard Mode. The Mega Drive counterpart does not contain any of the music from the SNES game, with the exception of the main theme song (Moonlight Densetsu) at the title screen, bosses also has their own song rather than a generic theme for all of them. The game has different endings for each playable character.
