About

Side-scrolling beat 'em up where you play as Michael Jackson rescuing kidnapped children from crime boss Mr. Big and his henchmen. You moonwalk through streets, graveyards, and underground hideouts, punching and dance-attacking enemies across multiple stages. Special moves include Jackson's signature lean and a screen-clearing Star Magic ability triggered after rescuing enough kids. Levels sync to tracks like Smooth Criminal and Beat It. The Sega Genesis version plays as a standard brawler with platforming sections, while the arcade version offered different gameplay. You'll dodge goons in Club 30, fight through cemetery zombies, and infiltrate Mr. Big's tech-heavy compound. Movement mimics Jackson's dance style—spins, slides, and anti-gravity leans work as both navigation and combat. Straightforward '90s action with heavy MJ branding.
