The battle culminates when you confront the vile Queen Beryl who loves to choke the life out of you before winning the game. Perhaps the charm of playing the game is the nostalgic feel players get from watching the series and confronting characters from the show as you progress through. There are times when Tuxedo Mask aids the fight by tossing a red rose which can restore an ample amount of health when the going gets rough, although this is more of a nod to the Anime than something that can actually help on gameplay otherwise. You do not gain extra lives on the game although you can restore health by picking up food items. You will find yourself surrounded by an enormous amount of enemies who do not hesitate on attacking relentlessly and boss fights can be pretty unforgiving as well. However gameplay wise it does not share the control's simplicity. The controls are fairly simple, walking in all 8 directions and two buttons for attacking and jumping plus a third button for the crystal attack. Characters can also collect crystals dropped by enemies to increase a super special move which gets more powerful depending on the number of crystals collected not unlike the likes of Golden Axe, which also accompanied by an stellar animation sequence depending on the character used to perform it. Players can also tap the two buttons together to perform a special "extra joy" attack to clear enemies from surrounding the characters and can also run by tapping twice on the controller in the desired direction. Each character share the same move set with different sprite animations really. You get to choose from each of the titular characters at the beginning of the game, although none of them are really that different gameplay wise nor have strengths or weaknesses compared to each other. Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon debuted in arcade format in the mid-90s as a Final Fight brawler clone developed by Banpresto, a gaming company notorious for making games based on Anime. Of course there would be videogames based on the popular animated series and an Arcade adaptation would not be far fetched. Sailor Moon became one of the biggest Anime to debut in the 90s in the US and is still a hallmark when it comes to magical transforming girls fighting off evil, a show which is highly recognizable by Anime fans both male and female.
