'''''Sailor Moon: Another Story''''' is ana [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|Super Famicom]] RPG based ''mostly'' on the ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' anime, taking place after the S season. The girls' enemies are the Oppositio Senshi, a team of [[Evil Knockoff]] [[The Psycho Rangers|psycho rangers]], who are led by the mysterious Apsu. Apsu and the Oppositio Senshi are futzing around with time and fate, resurrecting previous enemies of Sailor Moon. Well, we obviously can't let them get away with that, now can we?

{{tropelist}}
=== Tropes ===
* [[Awesome but Impractical]]: Super Sailor Moon and Super Sailor Chibi Moon. The stat buff really isn't that great for characters that are built more for support (which they lose when they transform).
* [[Badass]]: Every fighting character.
Line 21:
* [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?]] : Every one of them from the first three seasons of the show (with the exception of Al and En who are not in the game), the R movie, and the [[Original Generation]] [[Big Bad]] Apsu.
* [[Empty Room Psych]]: Most of the rooms in the school, hospital and university.
* [[Fan Translation]]: WhichIt has two fan translations in English by the same group. The first one is passable, but has several problems with naming conventions, English grammar, and being overly literal (like Venus' [[Mixed Metaphor]] near the end). The term "[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fin_de_si%C3%A8cle| fin de siècle]"" is translated as "FenDoSheckle". The translation was also made for older inaccurate emulators and would not display text properly on modern ones without a patch. A [https://www.romhacking.net/translations/4654/ newer, better translation patch] was released in 2019 (with several updates since, the most recent one on September 2021), which standardized names and corrected most of the above errors and gaffes, as well as correcting several bugs.
** [[Gratuitous Japanese]]: Many speciicspecific terms are left in romaji, mainly to match the Japanese anime's subtitle. Most of these were reworked in the newest fan translation.
* [[Feuding Families]]: The mayors of Medias and Mishii Village.
* [[Find the Cure]]: When Mamoru is injured, the Senshi search the world for the Shitennou's Hi stones, which have the power to bring forth the Barasuishou, which can cure him. Also, while in Switzerland, Mercury must find some halyomoss to cure a character's mother of a rare illness.
Line 36:
** [[Face Heel Turn]]: {{spoiler|Sailor Saturn temporarily, but this is so the Season Three retraux can play out normally}})
* [[Hyperactive Metabolism]]: Most healing items are comestibles, including nigiri, pork chops, chocolate, and orange juice.
* [[Level Grinding]]: Insane amounts of level grinding are required if you want to live. The fan translation group released a "Grind-be-gone" patch who mostly alleviates this.
* [[Level Up Fill Up]]
* [[Lost Forever]]: the best equipment in the game can be easily missed. You're also screwed if you happened to miss one hidden puzzle piece.
Line 47:
* [[Multiple Endings]]: There's two ways that the game will end. If [[The Hero|Sailor Moon]] defeats Apsu, you get the [[Golden Ending]], but if she loses and has [[Kid From the Future|Chibi-Moon]] defeating Apsu instead, you get the [[Bittersweet Ending]].
* [[No Export for You]]: The game was never released outside of Japan, though thanks to a fan translation, many English-speaking players have gotten to experience it anyway.
* [[Psycho Rangers]] -: The Opposito Senshi are basically a Babylonian mythology theme named [[Evil Knockoff]] version of the Sailor Senshi (who are Roman theme named). Also, each character on the Opposito Senshi Team is a [[Darker and Edgier]] reprise of each member of the Inner Senshi team (save Ishtar, the Sailor Venus knockoff, though her outfit is just as dark as the other Opposito Senshi's)
* [[The Not-Secret]]: Major characters get portrait sprites alongside their speech boxes. For the first part of the game, Apsu's portrait is drawn to conceal her appearance by making her look like she's in the shadows. This is a bit undermined by the fact that her ''character sprite'' is fully visible the whole time.
* [[One-Gender Race]]: One gender ''villages,'' actually. The village of Rias is inhabited only by men. The village of Sariel is inhabited only by women. The two are forbidden from having contact with each other. One must wonder why they haven't died out yet...
Line 60:
* [[Spotting the Thread]]: Chibi-Usa realizes that Pluto isn't who she appears because Pluto never called her "Princess."
* [[Star-Crossed Lovers]]: George and Mary. Turns out {{spoiler|they're cousins. Awkward...}}.
** {{spoiler|Anshar and Chibi-Usa, if you beat Sin with Chibimoon's team.}}
* [[Standard Status Effect]]
* [[Status Buff]]: Sailor Moon and Sailor Chibi-Moon can use the Holy Grail to unlock a more powerful attack in battle.
