Pretty Soldoer Sailor Moon Sailor Stars: Exciting Party (美少女戦士セーラームーン セーラースターズ ときめきパーティ/ Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon Sailor Stars: Tokimeki Paati) is a video game released for the Sega Pico by Bandai solely in Japan, in August of 1996.

Overview

The game is set during the events of the Stars season.

Modes

From the title screen, two modes are available to the player:

Sugoroku (みんなで スゴロク/ Min'na de sugoroku) and 'Game' (ゲーム/ Gemu)

Sugoroku - In this mode, the player can pick from one of the five Inner Senshi and control them all in turn.

To play Sugoroku, the player rolls a die and then moves the corresponding amount of steps. Regular crescent moon-shaped spaces do not give any bonuses. A circle with the "game" text begins one of the ten mini games, selected at random. A circle with a question mark begins a quiz game, also selected at random.

A blue star-shaped space with dice allows the player to roll again. A pink star-shaped space with the text "1 kai yasumi" will make them wait one turn, giving the opponent two turns in a row. A circle with a microphone will bring the player to another mini game where they have to sing along with the Three Lights.

To Win

If the player wins the mini-game, they will see a new screen with Chibi Chibi, in which they can pick a prize. Prizes allow the player to advance five steps, three steps, roll a die or wait one turn.

To Lose

If the player loses, they will see the same prizes but selecting one will move them backwards instead. Highlighted prizes will rotate, so the player has to be careful with timing when selecting.

There is one special space with the Eternal Moon Article on it; which cannot be skipped. On this space, the player will play a mini game in which they must choose between two chests, and then watch Eternal Sailor Moon's transformation sequence.

Mini-Games/Game Mode

In "Game" Mode, the player can play all 10 mini games that would be played in Sugoroku. There are two games per page.

つめこみゲーム/ Tsumekomi Game: 

The player begins in Usagi's room and must prevent her clothes, toys, and other belongings from escaping from the closet, a suitcase, and a drawer.

ゆめのパフェたべまくり！/ Yume no pafe tabe makuri!:

The player controls Usagi as she eats four layers of a parfait. Pressing the red button as quickly as possible before time runs out.

ダッシュ！おかしだっしゅゲーム/ Dassu! Okashi Dassu Gemu

The player and three other Sailor Senshi walk in a circle around three chairs as music plays. When the music stops playing the player press the red button repeatedly to run and take one of the chairs. The player who did not manage to take a chair loses. In each round the number of chairs decreases by one.

ほんものはどれだ？/ Hon mono wa doreda?

Six circles appear on a cloudy backdrop with six 'fake' Eternal Moon Articles. The player "erases" the circles with the Eternal Tiare to reveal the real Eternal Moon Article before. A small spring with a heart will pop out if it is a fake Article. The player can continue to attempt to locate the real Eternal Moon Article until time runs out.

おとあわせゲーム/ Oto awase gēmu

へんしん・こうげきゲーム/ Henshin kō geki gēmu

The player controls Sailor Moon who starts in the middle of the screen. Two pink chests are on either side of the screen. The Eternal Moon Article will appear and quickly flash between the two chests. The player then must guess which chest it is in and navigate to it while dodging the attacks from an enemy -situated at the top of the screen. After locating the Eternal Moon Article, Sailor Moon will spin around and transform into Eternal Sailor Moon. The Eternal Tiare will then appear and flicker as the Article did. The player will then guide Eternal Sailor Moon to the chest they have guessed the Tiare to be in. Once found, Eternal Sailor Moon will shoot a beam at the enemy, ending the mini-game.

The player must jump from one moving cloud to another to reach the cloud palace in the top right corner of the screen.
