Story
| “ |
My name is Usagi Tsukino. But in reality, I am Sailor Moon, one of the five Sailor Guardians fighting to protect the moon's kingdom Silver Millennium. Suddenly, one day I saw a dream that the defeated Dark Kingdom was resurrected. In Rei's fortune, the energy of hatred restored them, I can't believe this. Again, please forgive me Dark Kingdom! We must fight once more, Guardians. Make-up! In the name of the moon, I'll punish you! |

Gameplay
The game is set in the first series of Sailor Moon, and the player takes control of one of the five heroines (Guardian Senshi). Each Senshi has some sequences of blows (
), three aerial attacks (neutral, moving forward/backward, downward) (
), and a special charge-up projectile (
).
Characters
The five heroines are:
|
Usagi Tsukino (Serena) |
|---|---|
| Sailor Moon alias Usagi Tsukino; her special attack is Moon Tiara Action. | |
|
Ami Mizuno (Amy) |
| Sailor Mercury alias Ami Mizuno; her special attack is Shabon Spray. She is faster than the other Senshi but has a shorter attack. She has a move where she can slam enemies into the ground, making the level shake. | |
|
Rei Hino (Raye) |
| Sailor Mars alias Rei Hino; her default attack is the kick, which is stronger than her punch. Her special attack is Fire Soul. | |
|
Makoto Kino (Lita) |
| Sailor Jupiter alias Makoto Kino; her special attack is Supreme Thunder. She is stronger than any other Senshi and is the only one who jabs enemies with a fist, she does not flip anytime she jumps, and is the second Senshi that can slam enemies on the ground making the level rumble rapidly. | |
|
Minako Aino (Mina) |
| 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):

|
Jiji (ジジ) |
| Known in North America as Pox | |
|

|
Yasha (ヤシャ) |
|
Gesen (ゲーセーン) |
| Known in North America as Game Machine Man | |
|
Jumoh (ジュモー) |
| Known in North America as Jumeau |
Stages
The game is divided into five main stages, which are subdivided into two areas (three for stage 5); with a sixth being present only in hard mode:
|
Stage 1 - Juban Shopping Street (十番 商店 街) |
|---|---|
| Area A: Shopping District of Juban Town (十番町 商店 街) Area B: Department Store's Elevator (デパート の エレベーター) Boss: Manegin (マネギン) | |
|
Stage 2 - Dream Land (夢ランド) |

|

|
Stage 5 - D Point (Dポイント) |

|
Stage 6 - Dark Kingdom (ダーク キングダム) |
| Stage 6 is just an extra fight against Queen Metallia (クイン メタリア) |
Versions
The Mega Drive version has certain elements recycled from the Super Famicom game. It contains most of the original stages, though some were removed or 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.
It does not contain any of the music from the original game either, with the exception of the main theme song (Moonlight Densetsu) at the title screen, bosses also have their own songs rather than a generic theme for all of them. The game has different endings for each playable character.
