Michael Jackson's Moonwalker
Developer: Sega Publisher: Sega Platform: Arcade (Sega System 18) Released internationally: 1990 Released in US: July 24, 1990 This game has unused music. This game has unused sounds.

The arcade version of the King of Pop's cult classic game. Unlike its Revenge of Shinobi-influenced Genesis counterpart, this version plays closer to a Beat 'em Up/Run and Gun type of game.

Unused Jingles

These two jingles can be found in the Arcade's sound test, but are unused in-game. It's unknown what the first jingle was intended for, but the second jingle is simply a sped up intro for "Bad".

Unused Music

Like its console counterpart, Jackson can use choreography from his music videos to kill all enemies on-screen in a "Dance Magic" special. In the arcade version, there's 4 different tracks that are supposed to play, with a "long" and "short" version of each song. However, only two of these tracks are actually used during gameplay.

Dance Magic 2

A shortened version of this track is used for the "Billie Jean" dance attack in-game, but this full version is never used at all. Aside from some stock grunts and "ow"s taken from his songs, it's one of the few tracks in-game not based off an existing Jackson song.

Dance Magic 3

A higher-quality snippet of "Bad". "Smooth Criminal" is used during gameplay instead for unknown reasons.

Dance Magic 4

A higher-quality snippet of "Beat it". "Smooth Criminal" is used during gameplay instead for unknown reasons.
