Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon (美少女戦士セーラームーン) is a beat 'em up arcade game developed by Arc System Works and TNS and published by Ma-Ba, based on the Sailor Moon anime & manga series. This game originally released in 1993 by Angel for the Super Famicom. This version was never released outside Japan.
Gameplay
The game is set in the first series of Sailor Moon, and the player takes control of one or two 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 (
).
Playable Characters
The five heroines are:
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 main stages, which are subdivided into two areas (three for stage 5); with a sixth being present only in hard mode:
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.
