To save development time and resources, the splash screen artwork for each of the Sailor Senshi superimposes their heads and uniforms onto a nude base model. Despite the clothes obscuring most of the base's body, it is unusually detailed; according to Lynn Okamoto, who designed the game's graphics, this was because the game was planned to feature alternate costumes for the playable cast, such as their civilian clothes and swimsuits.

Because of time constraints, however, this feature was never implemented, with the only remnant being a cheat code that renders the player's character barefoot on the splash screen. The code requires the player to press Down, Down, Down, Right, Right, Right, Up, Up, Up, Left, Left, Left, Up, Down, Right, Left during the sequence when a spotlight moves around a screen and highlights Luna.

The Genesis version of the game similarly features a base model in its data, albeit redrawn rather than being directly lifted from the SNES version; unlike its SNES counterpart, the sprite is given white undergarments. Additionally, the Genesis version lacks any clothing cheats. However, both Usagi and Ami's civilian splash screen illustrations feature their shoes as separate sprites from the rest of their bodies, indicating that one was briefly conceptualized during development.
