Michael Jackson's Moonwalker
Summary
In *Michael Jackson's Moonwalker*, players take on the role of the iconic pop star on a mission to rescue children who have been captured by Mr. Big. The game centers around locating these kids, who are hidden in various spots across each level, sometimes behind obstacles like doors. The levels and soundtrack were inspired by the 1988 film *Moonwalker* (with many musical pieces also drawn from Jackson's *Thriller* album), and players can defeat enemies by making them dance.
Storyline
If you haven’t heard, Mr Big has snatched all the kids and is about to expose them to the terrors of drugs! Michael is less than pleased about this situation, and after a quick change into his iconic Smooth Criminal outfit, he plunges into five perilous levels of Mr Big’s lair to save the children and see justice done. Hooray! Each level consists of four rounds where Michael must dart through the platform setting, unleashing deadly moves on any of Mr Big’s goons who dare get in his way. The hero must explore the level, unlock doors, and shift objects to locate and free the kids. Once all the children are safely rescued, Mr Big himself shows up and unleashes his most fearsome henchmen to take on Michael. After defeating them, it's time to move on to the next round with even more kids to save. Every level features its own Michael-themed soundtrack, including the groovy Smooth Criminal, Beat It, and Bad!
