The "Sailor Star Tambourines" are weapons exclusive to Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon that are given to the Inner Sailor Guardians, as a gift from Artemis.
Information[]
The Sailor Senshi use them to focus their powers and make their attacks stronger, as well as to perform special group attacks. Sailor Jupiter and Sailor Mercury both have unique attacks associated with their tambourines, Jupiter Thunderbolt, and Mercury Aqua Storm, respectively. It can be assumed that the other Sailor Senshi have attacks such as these as well, but they never make explicit appearances. However, Rei does use hers for an exceptionally strong Youma Taisan in Act 23.
The Sailor Senshi can also transform their tambourines into weapons. Sailor Mercury can create a sword, Sailor Jupiter can create a spear, and Sailor Mars and Sailor Venus can create daggers. In the final act, Rei (in honor of Minako's absence) uses her own and Minako's Star Tambourines together as daggers. Minako later uses them in the Special Act.
The Sailor Senshi can also send star-shaped energy at enemies, though this attack was never named. The colors of the stars are the same as the dominant theme color for each of the respective Senshi.
Trivia[]
- Makoto used her Tambourine to hail a taxi in Act 26 before learning its true purpose.
- The Tambourines look somewhat similar to the Crystal Carillon that Sailor Chibi Moon uses.
- They can use these to channel their power into Sailor Moon's, similar to how the Sailor Senshi could in the anime.
- Ami was the last Sailor Senshi to use her tambourine (as she was Dark Mercury when they were gifted to the girls).
- Rei and Minako are the only Sailor Senshi to use two at the same time (as Rei uses hers and Minako's in the Final Act, and Minako uses hers and Rei's in the Special Act. Coincidentally, both times, the other character was heavily injured or dead.
