Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Michael Jackson's Moonwalker is a 1990 video game (loosely) based on the movie Moonwalker, specifically the "Smooth Criminal" portion, conceived and designed by Michael Jackson, featuring songs by Michael Jackson, starring Michael Jackson, and developed by... uh, Sega. The player character, Michael Jackson, alias Moonwalker, uses his trademark dance moves and magic powers (with occasional aid from Bubbles the Chimp) to rescue the children who have been kidnapped by Diabolical Mastermind Mr. Big. Did we mention that Michael Jackson's in it?Two versions of this Michael Jackson game were produced: an isometric action game for arcades, and a Shinobi-like Platform Game for the Sega Genesis. (There was also a computer game titled Michael Jackson: Moonwalker, which has little in common with the other versions.) A port was also released for the Sega Master System and Sega Game Gear.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Awesome, but Impractical: From the Genesis port: The robot form has its spiffy laser and missile attacks, but you can't rescue kids while you're in it. To compensate for this, the children are fully visible in their hiding spots during robot mode, so the player can easily find them after it wears off. Dance Magic specials can clear whole rooms of enemies, but will eat up half of your health bar, making it very impractical to use in level 3 and onwards. Not to mention a few of the boss encounters are immune to the dance, making you waste your life as the enemies scurry off-screen once the dance kicks in.

Bar Brawl: The first level of the Genesis/Master System/Game Gear version, and the second half of level two in the arcade version, based on the equivalent scene in the film.
