~*~ Introduction ~*~

This was originally meant only to be a translation of the game, but there
wasn't much to translate.  So, this has now become a play guide as well.


~*~ How To Play ~*~

Like practically any other puzzle game, this one is pretty easy to get the idea
of.  The main object is to take out groups of colored squares.  Using the 'B'
button when 2 or more of the same colored square are next to eachother will
cause the group to dissapear.
'Y' will shift the rows of blocks to the left and right respectivly.
'Z' allows you to unleash your character's special move when the power bar is
charged into the red.

In this game you get to pick from 10 characters from the Sailor Moon series.
They include Sailor Moon, Sailor Mars, Sailor Venus, Sailor Jupiter, Sailor
Murcury, Sailor Neptune, Sailor Uranus, Sailor Pluto, Tuxedo Mask and Chibi
Usa.  Each character has their own special attack.  The specials will cause
certain rows or blocks to dissapear.


~*~ Opening Menu ~*~

After hitting the Start button a menu with 4 options will come up.  Use the
directional keys to bring the menu boxes around and 'A' to select the option
you want.  They read from the top going clockwise:

Single Player
Versus
Options
Original Game


~*~ Single Player ~*~

Single Player mode will put you up against the computer.  Select your character
and have at it.
Your score will be displayed in the upper left corner in red.  Below that is
your power bar.  The more squares you clear the more you will power up.

~*~ Versus ~*~

The only difference between versus and single is that you play against a human
instead of a cpu.  Other then that, the screens are all the same and gameplay
is the same.


~*~ Options ~*~

Here you get to customize your game settings.

The top portion allows you to customize your buttons.  See "how to play" to see
the default settings.  You should have no problem customizing from there. 'L'
and 'R' do nothing.

Next down is game difficulty.  Default is normal.  One to the left of normal is
easy and one to the right of normal is hard.

The third option is number of matches.  This really only applies to versus
mode.  This will determine who wins by looking at best of x number of matches.
The options are 1,3,5, and 7.

Next is Music Test then Sound Test.  The last option is Exit.

~*~ Original Game ~*~

This is similar to Tetris style of play.  Your only opponent is the clock. The
longer you play the harder it gets.  Each board you clear bumps you up another
level.  The higher the level the faster the blocks fall.  You have a select
amount of time to clear each stage.  You get time bonuses for clearing a stage
before your time is up.


~*~ Hints ~*~

Try to clear larger groups first and fast.  This will slim down the bulk of
your blocks and help to charge up your special attack faster.

Use the 'Y' button to shift your blocks.  Try to time this with the colored
blocks about to fall. This can help get more groups.
