Michael Jackson's Moonwalker
迈克尔杰克逊的月球漫步
Michael Jackson's Moonwalker is an action platformer developed by ARC, released in 1990 for the Sega Master System. Players control Michael Jackson through side-scrolling stages filled with enemies and obstacles. The game's signature feature is the moonwalk move, which allows the player to glide across the screen. Throughout each level, players collect items and defeat enemies using dance-based attacks and special abilities. The gameplay emphasizes positioning and movement timing to avoid enemy fire while advancing. Each stage ends with a boss encounter. The SMS version features six distinct levels with different themes and hazards. Controls are straightforward: the directional pad moves Michael, one button jumps, and another executes attacks. Progression requires collecting items, avoiding damage, and defeating enemies to reach each stage's conclusion.
