About this game

Barbie: Super Model combines side-scrolling action with fashion and runway activities. Barbie travels through four themed levels, avoiding moving obstacles, collecting bonus items and extra chances, and managing her speed as she progresses.

Fashion Challenges

Camera items lead to magazine cover shoots where players match Barbie's outfit and the colors of its components. Handbag items introduce makeup mirror challenges involving her hairstyle, earrings, eyeshadow, and lip and nail color. Correct matches award points.

Runway Activities

After reaching the end of a level, Barbie practices a runway routine using button prompts placed along the floor. On the return trip, players perform the routine again, earning points for each correct move.

Level Themes

  • Driving down the street
  • Skating on the beach
  • Walking through a ski resort
  • Walking through the park

Developed by Tahoe and Tahoe Software Productions and published by Hi-Tech and Hi-Tech Expressions, the game was released in 1992 for DOS, Sega Genesis, Sega Mega Drive/Genesis, and Super Nintendo Entertainment System.
