Gameplay

One or two players choose from the five original Inner Senshi and fight across eight stages using punches, kicks, jumps, and throws against Dark Kingdom enemies, building toward an end of stage boss each time. The game favors physical combat over magical attacks, gives characters running and dashing moves, and lets players unleash a screen clearing special attack once enough crystals are collected, while Tuxedo Mask periodically appears to heal the player and damage foes.

Release and Legacy

Gazelle, a studio formed after Toaplan's 1994 collapse, developed the game for a March 22, 1995 release on the CAVE 68000 arcade board; Banpresto published it in Japan while Sega distributed it internationally, giving it one of the few official overseas arcade releases in the franchise. Game Machine ranked it the eleventh most successful Japanese arcade title in May 1995, retrospectives have praised its visuals while criticizing its short length and limited sub weapons, and it later appeared in Time Extension's list of top beat 'em ups; Gazelle followed it with a 1997 Sailor Moon quiz machine before disbanding into staff who went on to found CAVE.
