"Sailor Moon" for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) is a beat'em up video game released in 1993, based on the hugely popular manga and anime series, "Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon". Developed by Angel, a subsidiary of Bandai, the game captures the charm and spirit of the original series, allowing players to step into the shoes of Sailor Moon herself and her fellow Sailor Soldiers. In the game, players navigate through various levels, fighting against the evil forces of the Dark Kingdom to prevent them from obtaining the Legendary Silver Crystal and taking over the world. Each level culminates in a boss fight, featuring recognizable villains from the series, which adds to the nostalgic allure for fans.

Gameplay in "Sailor Moon" involves a combination of physical attacks, jumps, and signature magical abilities unique to each character, mirroring their powers from the anime. Players can choose from five playable characters—Sailor Moon, Sailor Mercury, Sailor Mars, Sailor Jupiter, and Sailor Venus—each with their distinct special moves that can be executed with specific button combinations. This game was one of the first in a series of Sailor Moon video games released on various platforms during the 1990s. It gained popularity not only for its engaging gameplay but also for staying true to the anime’s storyline and character development, making it a cherished title among fans of the franchise and retro gaming enthusiasts alike. The multiplayer mode, allowing cooperative play, further enhanced its replay value and fun, making it a memorable part of the SNES legacy.
