Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon (美少女戦士セーラームーン) is a beat 'em up arcade game based on the Sailor Moon anime and manga series for the Sega Mega Drive, developed by Arc System Works and TNS, and published by Ma-Ba. It was originally released in 1993 by Angel for the Super Famicom.

The game was released during the series' third metaseries ("Sailor Moon S"), which in a year later, the Sailor Moon series would reach North America. Despite this, only a Japanese version exists with only Japanese text.

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. Once 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 (A), three aerial attacks (neutral, moving forward/backward, downward) (B), and a special charge-up projectile (C).

Characters

The five heroines are:

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.
