Play Barbie: Super Model Online

Summary

Barbie: Super Model (often just called Barbie Super Model) feels like a quirky blend of arcade action and dress‑up fun, aimed squarely at younger players. Each stage scrolls horizontally as you steer Barbie through a themed backdrop—whether you’re cruising Hollywood in a convertible, roller‑skating on Hawaiian beaches, trekking snowy Vail slopes, or pedaling through bustling New York City. Along the way you dodge simple obstacles, then pause for memory‑based mini‑games that let you practice the runway moves you’ll need to recall at the level’s end. Collecting hidden items unlocks bonus rounds where you dress Barbie to match glossy magazine covers, tweaking makeup and earrings for the perfect look. The two‑player mode is just a turn‑based high‑score showdown, letting friends compare who can master the fashion‑show sequence faster. Critics were split: Nintendo Power gave it a modest 2.8/5, calling it a "Sim Model" experience that might please Barbie fans but not much else, while GamePro’s 2.5/5 review slammed the slow, primitive gameplay, recommending it only for beginners. Some commentators even used the title as a case study in how early ’90s games for girls often leaned heavily on fashion and appearance over challenge.
