An attack that hurts anything close to you while sacrificing a small bit of health. second jump attack -- While jumpping, hold down while you press the Y button to do a second jumpping attack that won't knock down your opponent so you can keep attacking. Grab opponent -- Walk up to them without attacking Throw #1 -- Grab, press Towards or away + Y. Towards and away dictate wich direction you throw your opponent. This throw allows you to throw your opponent into other opponents. Can be useful against Bosses. Throw #2 -- Grab, press Y. This throw is abit more powerful since it usually only effects the character you're holding (unless you're Jupiter). Useful on bosses who fight alone. Attack/throw -- To throw your opponent instead of doing a knock down attack while you're fighting, hold down while you're attacking, and on your final blow, you'll end up throwing your opponent. Can be useful later on when opponents tend to attack before you can lay your final blow. Works for all but Venus. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CHARACTER ATTACKS-- Above your life line is a hollow white bar. While you hold down the attack button (Y) this bar will start to fill up. When you release the attack button when it's full, your character will unleash her specific attack that comes directly from the series. This attack is relativly strong but it's main usefulness lies in using it to keep opponents at a distance. Bosses love to move around and make this technique useless, so it's usually not the best move for them. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ INDIVIDUAL SENSHI ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SAILOR MERCURY (Mizuno Ami - "Friend of Water")-- Downward punch -- Jump, Down + Y "Shabon Spray" -- Charge Y Twin Water Spray -- Y + B (Don't know what she actually says) Shoulder Throw -- grab, Toward or Back + Y Suplex -- grab, Y NOTES: Very quick. She has the shortest range of all other senshi, but does the most overall damage. Very strong throws as well. SAILOR JUPITER (Kino Makoto "Wisdom of Forest")-- Elbow Drop -- Jump, Down + Y "Supreme Thunder" -- Charge Y "Flower Hurricane" -- Y + B Suplex -- grab, Toward or Back + Y Hammer Throw -- grab, Y NOTES: Slow, but powerful. 3 hit knockdown and the most powerful throw (hammer) makes jupiter a force to be reckoned with. Around a Medium-short range. SAILOR MOON (Tsukino Usagi - "Bunny of the Moon")-- Downward Punch -- jump, Down + Y "Moon Tiara Action" -- Charge Y "Moon Healing Escalation" -- Y + B Shoulder Throw -- grab, Toward or Back + Y Head-butt -- grab, Y NOTES: Baisicly an all around character, seeing as how it's her series! She pretty much does it all. SAILOR VENUS (Aino Minako "Love for All")-- Downward Chain Strike -- jump, Down + Y "Cresent Beam" -- Charge Y Venus Love-Me-Chain Spin -- Y + B Leg Throw -- grab, Toward or Back + Y Rolling Leg Toss -- grab, Y NOTES: Excellent distance with her chain whip at the price of damage. A 3 hit knock down like Jupiter, but no where near as powerful. This is the only characer who cannot do the "attack/throw" move described earlier. If you want to play 'keep-away' this is your character of choice. SAILOR MARS (Hino Rei "Spirit of Fire")-- Charm Punch -- jump, Down + Y "Fire Soul" -- Charge Y "Akuryo Taisan" -- Y + B ("evil-spirits begone") Leg Throw -- grab, Toward or Back + Y Slap Attack -- grab, Y NOTES: Nice medium range since all of her attacks are kicks. She has decent speed and a fast charging time for "Fire Soul". A very good character. "Tsukino hikariwa ai no message" (The moonlight carries your message of love) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SECRETS ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SAME SENSHI SELECTION-- CODE: L + R + Start on "Player-2" Normaly you can't be the same Senshi in 2-Player mode, but if you hold down the L and R button while you press Start while the cursor is on "Player-2" then you and your friend can both choose the same exact Senshi! The only problem is that you will both be the same colour. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ LEGEND OF THE SUEHIRO-- "Suehiro" means "Folding Fan" in japanese. The Suehiro in Sailor Moon will become your most powerful weapon. I only know of one in existance so far, and it's located in the first part of stage one. When you see the first enemy come from the "Rag Time" store in the background, hit him with a Sudden Death Technique for your first hit on him. He will fly back and drop a Suehiro. Pick it up and you have a weapon that dishes out lots of damage and knocks opponents down in one hit. Shame this weapon is lost when you go onto the next scene. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ EVERY LIFE COUNTS-- Near the end of stage one, there is an object blocking view on the right side of the screen (it is a street marker if I'm not mistaken). Behind this obstruction, slightly above the half way point of the screen there is a hidden one-up. Collect this to make your fight against Queen Beryl a little easier. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ BOSS STRATEGY-- BOSS 1 - HERCULESE: This game has terrible collision detection and I do mean TERRIBLE... Not much you can do about it, but there is a way you can increase your chances of hitting this beheamoth. Stay at the bottom of the screen, holding down untill you don't go any further and wait for him to line up with you. Jump kick him and knock him down. After this, you have to quickly move up and towards him because he's about to do his lunge move. After he's done that, go back down to the bottom of the screen and repeat the entire process again. BOSS 2 - CANDY QUEEN: This little (explicit removed) loves to teleport around alot, so be on gaurd. If she teleports near you, try and grab her for a throw. This is easy at first, but as she loses life, she becomes more and more agressive and starts using her spinning techniqe on you. There's really not much choice you have at that point, I just took the blow and grabed her once she was done. She's not as tough as Herc was, seeing as how Herc didn't like to be thrown at ALL. BOSS 3 - EVIL SAILOR MOON (ZOICITE): Zoicite does not like to get close to you, and will do anything to keep his distance from you, your best strategy: Do the same to him! Stay at the top or the bottom of the screen near either corner of either side. Zoi will try to jump kick you, so you quickly have to move up or down (depending on where you are) to avoid it, then go and knock some sense into Zoi the good old fashioned way. Go to the opposite side and repeat the process all over again. He shouldn't be too hard. BOSS 4 - KUNZITE (A/K/A MALACITE): Kunzite is tough... I can't really give a sure-fire strategy, since I never really found one. He loves to use his Black Energy Wave when you are at a distance and never really likes to get close. One thing you can try is to throw the enemies that appear at him for some damage. He has EXTREAMLY good accuracy with his Black Wave (thanks to that terrible collision detection I told you about). Just be careful and if you know something that might help in defeating Kunzite, tell me. BOSS 5 - PRINCE ENDIMION/TUXEDO MASK: Endimion isn't too hard for a boss this late into the game, surprisingly. Keep away for awhile, otherwise he'll swing his sword at you. Once he jumps into the air, move. He'll land with his sword out, this is your chance to get behind him and throw him. Keep using his weakness in his delays to take him down. BOSS 6 - QUEEN BERYL: Another tough boss that I can't help much on. She has attacks that keep you from getting close, so there's not much you can do. You can try to throw her minions into her and damage her that way, but no definitive strategy will help you much here. If you followed my hints through the other bosses and you stayed alive long enough, you should have enough extra lives to spare in this fight, so give it all you've got and hope you take her down before she gets you. If you know anything that will work against her, please tell me, I could use the information. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ COPYRIGHT INFORMATION-- This FAQ is Copyright KageKaze (Troy Ludwig), this document may be reproduced as long as no information is changed or edited in any way.
