  50.     4) Options
  51.

  55.    user-selectable computer-controlled opponents in a stage of the
  56.    user's choice.
  57. 3) Practice mode allows you to choose one playable character and another
  58.    "dummy" character to practice all the selected character's moves.  The
  59.    move listing can be accessed by pressing the START button during
  60.    the untimed round.  Press SELECT to return to the character-select screen.

  79.     KEY ASSIGNMENT:
  80.         Strong Punch
  81.         Weak Punch
  82.         Strong Kick
  83.         Weak Kick
  84.         Auto Mode Explanation*
  85.  
  86. * In 1 Player (story) mode, the player has the option to enable "Auto"
  87.   mode (see "Player Select" section).  The L1, L2, R1, and R2 buttons 
  88.   are used in combination with the various attack buttons to perform 
  89.   the special moves.
  90.  
  91.   Each of the Inner Senshi have 3 "normal" special attacks as well as 
  92.   a "MAX!" special move (see "Basic Player Movement" section).  The 
  93.   configuration description assigns to each of the 3 special attacks 
  94.   the letters 'A,' 'B,' and 'C' in that order.  The buttons corresponding 
  95.   to the letter-designated moves are as follows:
  96.  
  97.     L1 - A
  98.     L2 - B
  99.     R1 - C
  100.  
  101.   To perform any of the "lettered" moves, simply press the corresponding
  102.   button in combination with ANY of the regular attack buttons.  Using a 
  103.   strong attack button (punch or kick) simulates the use of the 
  104.   corresponding strong attack button in "Manual" mode.
  105.  
  106.   For example, to perform Super Sailor Moon's Moon Spiral Heart Attack in
  107.   "Auto" mode, you need only press L2+Weak Punch or L2+Weak Kick to 
  108.   simulate the Half-Circle-Back+Weak Kick motion, which is required in
  109.   "Manual" mode.
  110.  
  111.   To perform the "MAX!" special move, the R2 button is used.  Unlike
  112.   performing "normal" special moves, you are restricted to using the
  113.   Strong Punch and Strong Kick attack buttons.  In essence, the button
  114.   combinations used are:  R2+Strong Punch or R2+Strong Kick.
  115.  
  116. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  117. PLAYER SELECT:
  118.  
  119. In 1 Player (story) mode you are allowed to choose from the Inner Senshi.
  120. Once you choose a player, you are prompted with two colored choices.
  121.  
  122. The green-colored choice (default) is "Manual" mode as explained in the 
  123. "Game Modes" section.  The red-colored choice on the right enables "Auto"
  124. mode.  Note that if "Auto" mode is selected, the previously required
  125. joystick movements can no longer be used to perform special attacks.
  126.  
  127. Only in VS. mode can all 10 Sailor Senshi be accessed.  The names of the
  128. characters are (from left to right):
  129.  
  130.     1)  Sailor Saturn
  131.     2)  Sailor Pluto
  132.       3)  Sailor Jupiter
  133.     4)  Sailor Mars
  134.     5)  Sailor Moon
  135.     6)  Sailor Chibimoon
  136.     7)  Sailor Mercury
  137.     8)  Sailor Venus
  138.     9)  Sailor Uranus
  139.     10) Sailor Neptune
  140.  
  141. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  142. ABILITY CUSTOMIZE SYSTEM:
  143.  
  144. Before the initial match begins in 1 Player (story) mode, the user is 
  145. granted "Ability Points," the total number of which is dependent upon
  146. the difficulty level selected in the corresponding option menu, to 
  147. allocate among 8 character attributes.
  148.  
  149. These attributes are as follows:
  150.  
  151.     1) (Strength of) Punch
  152.     2) (Strength of) Kick
  153.     3) Throwing
  154.     4) Defense
  155.     5) (Increase) Life Meter - denoted by the yellow bar 
  156.                            adjacent to the timer
  157.         6) "Kawaii" or Cuteness  - results in player constantly
  158.                                    posing/taunting during round
  159.     7) Special Attacks
  160.     8) MAX! Special Attacks
  161.  
  162. Once the user confirms his/her particular distribution of points, the
  163. ability customize system can no longer be accessed for the duration of the
  164. game.   It can be noted that each computer opponent has her own particular
  165. distribution of points, so that an advantage is not given to the player.
