Michael Jackson's Moonwalker (マイケルジャクソンズムーンウォーカー) is an action platform game starring Michael Jackson. Developed by Sega AM7 and released for the Sega Mega Drive in late 1990, it was ported to the Sega Master System in early 1991 by developer Arc.

The game, along with its predecessor Michael Jackson's Moonwalker (System 18), is notable for being one of the earliest uses of direct celebrity endorsement in video game production.

Plot

The game is based on the "Smooth Criminal" segment of Michael Jackson’s Moonwalker, following Jackson in suit and fedora through stages based on his different music videos as he rescues children from the drug dealer Mr. Big.^[13]

Gameplay

Michael Jackson’s Moonwalker is an action platform game which emphasises exploration, and plays similiarly to the developer’s previous game Shinobi. Jackson has attacks based on his dance moves, such as throwing his fedora, and a significant jumping ability. Jackson also has the ability to both crotch grab and moonwalk. Neither have any ability on gameplay, and exist for purely aesthetic reasons.

In certain levels, rescuing a certain child first triggers a comet to fall from the sky that can be grabbed, transforming Michael into the giant robot from the movie and giving him the abilities of flight, eye lasers, and homing missles. Jackson also automatically changes into this form for the penultimate showdown with Mr. Big's henchmen. In the Sega Mega Drive version, Jackson additionally transforms into a spaceship for the final battle, which consists of a flight simulator-like minigame.^[13]

All incarnations of the game feature Jackson’s “Dance Magic”, 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.^[13]

History

Release

Released in the early days of the Sega Mega Drive, Moonwalker was one of Sega’s flagship titles (particularly in North America), with Jackson's persona being used alongside other celebrities like Joe Montana in an effort to put a dent in sales of Nintendo products.

In North America, the Sega Master System version was released alongside the [[Master System II|Sega Master System II]. In the United Kingdom, it was that system’s pack-in game upon release, and did not become a standalone product until six months later.^[14]

Reception

Reviews of the game were generally positive, with most being impressed with the novelty of playing as such a high-profile celebrity.

Legacy

Michael Jackson’s Moonwalker, particularly the Sega Mega Drive original, achieved cult status as a classic for the 16-bit platform.

Development

The stage Woods originally featured music from Thriller, but late in development it was realized the song was not written by Michael Jackson (instead being writted by Rod Temperton) and Sega AM7 lacked the rights to its release. The offending music was quickly replaced with Another Part of Me, but its associated Dance Magic theme was either overlooked or considered too short to violate copyright, and can be heard in early copies of the game. A later revision removed this Dance Magic theme altogether.

 ==History==
 ===Release===
-In the early days of the Mega Drive, ''Moonwalker'' was often used as a flagship product of Sega's system (particularly in North America), with Jackson's persona being used along with many other celebrities in an effort to put a dent in sales of [[Nintendo]] products.
+Released in the early days of the [[Sega Mega Drive]], ''Moonwalker'' was one of [[Sega]]’s flagship titles (particularly in North America), with Jackson's persona being used alongside other celebrities like [[Joe Montana]] in an effort to put a dent in sales of [[Nintendo]] products.
-Even though both versions of the game have a stage takes place in a graveyard and have the "Thriller dance" which can be performed, the theme of Thriller does not feature in either game (being replaced with Another Part of Me). It is suspected that the reason for this was that Michael did not write the song (Rod Temperton wrote Thriller for Michael). However, in the first revision (REV 00), excerpts of Thriller are used for the dance attacks in the Round 3 stages.
+In North America, the [[Sega Master System]] version was released alongside the [[Master System II|Sega Master System II]. In the United Kingdom, it was that system’s pack-in game upon release, and did not become a standalone product until six months later.{{magref|segapower|17|18}}
-In North America, the Master System version was released alongside the redesigned Master System II console. In the United Kingdom, it was initially only packaged with Master System consoles, not becoming a stand-alone product until six months later{{magref|segapower|17|18}}.
+===Reception===
+Reviews of the game were generally positive, with most being impressed with the novelty of playing as such a high-profile celebrity.
 ===Legacy===
-The Sega versions of ''Moonwalker'' have now achieved cult status and are remembered for being a memorable point in Jackson's career, marking a change in stage personas between the albums "Thriller" and "Bad". Jackson would work with Sega on several future products - he would be responsible for much of the music in ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog 3]]'' (though remains uncredited) and features in both ''[[Space Channel 5]]'' and ''[[Space Channel 5: Part 2]]''.
+''Michael Jackson’s Moonwalker'', particularly the [[Sega Mega Drive]] original, achieved cult status as a classic for the 16-bit platform.
-A sequel was planned but later dropped due to child molestation accusations to Michael Jackson in 1993.
+==Development==
+The stage Woods originally featured music from [[wikipedia:Thriller (song)|Thriller]], but late in development it was realized the song was not written by Michael Jackson (instead being writted by Rod Temperton) and [[Sega AM7]] lacked the rights to its release. The offending music was quickly replaced with [[wikipedia:Another Part of Me|Another Part of Me]], but its associated Dance Magic theme was either overlooked or considered too short to violate copyright, and can be heard in early copies of the game. A later revision removed this Dance Magic theme altogether.
