Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon (Version 95/03/22B, Europe)

Step into the world of magical girls with Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon, a vibrant 2.5D fighting game released in 1995 by Gazelle under license from Banpresto. Choose from five distinct Sailor Senshi – Sailor Moon, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, and Venus – each possessing unique attacks and special moves to battle through five increasingly challenging levels. As you progress, defeat waves of enemies and bosses using punches, kicks, jumps, and powerful signature abilities like Sailor Moon’s “Moon Tiara Action” or Sailor Venus' "Twin Crescent Beam.” Gameplay involves navigating scrolling environments while collecting items dropped by defeated foes or hidden within the level design; food restores health, trinkets award bonus points, and magic crystals are essential for unleashing devastating special attacks that damage all enemies on screen. A cooperative mode allows two players to team up and face the challenges together, strategizing crystal usage and coordinating attacks for maximum effectiveness. The game's visuals capture the distinctive anime style of the original Sailor Moon series, culminating in a memorable final level showcasing a key attack from the popular cartoon.
