"Michael Jackson's Moonwalker" is a classic game released for the Sega Genesis platform. The game combines elements of action, platforming, and beat 'em up genres. Players control Michael Jackson as he embarks on a quest to save all the children that have been kidnapped by the evil Mr. Big. The game's levels and music are inspired by the film "Moonwalker" and Michael Jackson's discography.

In the game, Michael Jackson's standard attack is a stylized high kick, and he also has a special attack where he throws his hat at enemies. If the attack button is held for longer, Jackson will bring all on-screen enemies together to start dancing to his music. Once the choreography is finished, all enemies are damaged or defeated. These special attacks cost Jackson some health. Rescuing children restores some of Jackson's health. Once all children are rescued, Bubbles, Michael's pet chimp, will mount on Michael's shoulders and point him in the direction of the level's final confrontation, where Mr. Big taunts him before sending waves of enemies for Jackson to defeat.

The game is known for its unique gameplay mechanics and the incorporation of Michael Jackson's iconic music and dance moves. It's a memorable part of the Sega Genesis library and a testament to the pop culture influence of Michael Jackson.
