GAME MODES:

At the title screen, there are four modes of gameplay from which to choose.
        
        1) 1 Player (Story) mode
        2) VS. mode
        3) Practice mode
        4) Options

1) In 1 Player mode, you can only choose among the Inner Senshi to fight
   against all the other computer-controlled Senshi.
2) VS. mode allows you to fight against another player or against 
   user-selectable computer-controlled opponents in a stage of the
   user's choice.
3) Practice mode allows you to choose one playable character and another
   "dummy" character to practice all the selected character's moves.  The
   move listing can be accessed by pressing the START button during
   the untimed round.  Press SELECT to return to the character-select screen.
4) Options screen listing:

        SETTINGS:
                Difficulty: "Good Friends"
                             Easy
                             Normal
                             Difficult

                Time:        Infinite
                             99 seconds
                             60 seconds
                             30 seconds

        SOUND:
                Sound - "Stereo" or "Monaural"
                BGM (background music) test
                Voice test

        KEY ASSIGNMENT:
                Strong Punch
                Weak Punch
                Strong Kick
                Weak Kick
                Auto Mode Explanation*

* In 1 Player (story) mode, the player has the option to enable "Auto"
  mode (see "Player Select" section).  The L1, L2, R1, and R2 buttons 
  are used in combination with the various attack buttons to perform 
  the special moves.

  Each of the Inner Senshi have 3 "normal" special attacks as well as 
  a "MAX!" special move (see "Basic Player Movement" section).  The 
  configuration description assigns to each of the 3 special attacks 
  the letters 'A,' 'B,' and 'C' in that order.  The buttons corresponding 
  to the letter-designated moves are as follows:

        L1 - A
        L2 - B
        R1 - C

  To perform any of the "lettered" moves, simply press the corresponding
  button in combination with ANY of the regular attack buttons.  Using a 
  strong attack button (punch or kick) simulates the use of the 
  corresponding strong attack button in "Manual" mode.

  For example, to perform Super Sailor Moon's Moon Spiral Heart Attack in
  "Auto" mode, you need only press L2+Weak Punch or L2+Weak Kick to 
  simulate the Half-Circle-Back+Weak Kick motion, which is required in
  "Manual" mode.

  To perform the "MAX!" special move, the R2 button is used.  Unlike
  performing "normal" special moves, you are restricted to using the
  Strong Punch and Strong Kick attack buttons.  In essence, the button
  combinations used are:  R2+Strong Punch or R2+Strong Kick.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
PLAYER SELECT:

In 1 Player (story) mode you are allowed to choose from the Inner Senshi.
Once you choose a player, you are prompted with two colored choices.

The green-colored choice (default) is "Manual" mode as explained in the 
"Game Modes" section.  The red-colored choice on the right enables "Auto"
mode.  Note that if "Auto" mode is selected, the previously required
joystick movements can no longer be used to perform special attacks.

Only in VS. mode can all 10 Sailor Senshi be accessed.  The names of the
characters are (from left to right):

        1)  Sailor Saturn
        2)  Sailor Pluto
        3)  Sailor Jupiter
        4)  Sailor Mars
        5)  Sailor Moon
        6)  Sailor Chibimoon
        7)  Sailor Mercury
        8)  Sailor Venus
        9)  Sailor Uranus
        10) Sailor Neptune

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
ABILITY CUSTOMIZE SYSTEM:

Before the initial match begins in 1 Player (story) mode, the user is 
granted "Ability Points," the total number of which is dependent upon
the difficulty level selected in the corresponding option menu, to 
allocate among 8 character attributes.

These attributes are as follows:

        1) (Strength of) Punch
        2) (Strength of) Kick
        3) Throwing
        4) Defense
        5) (Increase) Life Meter - denoted by the yellow bar 
                                   adjacent to the timer
        6) "Kawaii" or Cuteness  - results in player constantly
                                   posing/taunting during round
        7) Special Attacks
        8) MAX! Special Attacks

Once the user confirms his/her particular distribution of points, the
ability customize system can no longer be accessed for the duration of the
game.   It can be noted that each computer opponent has her own particular
distribution of points, so that an advantage is not given to the player.
