Barbie: Super Model

The main part of the game comprises very simple arcade-style sequences. In each level, the player must navigate from one end of a horizontally scrolling area to the other, avoiding all of the obstacles and potential hazards coming towards the main character. Players can either do the "normal" difficulty level with everything or the "easy" difficulty level that allows younger children to try the matching games without dealing with the side-view levels.

The levels each have a different theme. The themes include driving Barbie's convertible in Hollywood, roller skating in Hawaii, walking in the snow during a vacation in Vail, and riding her bike in New York City. The arcade-style sequences are interspersed with sections that test the player's memory. At the half-way point of each level the player can practice Barbie's moves for a fashion show. At the end of each level, the player must correctly perform these moves from memory.

Barbie: Super Model garnered mixed reviews upon release. In a 2.8-out-of-five review, Nintendo Power described the game as "a sort of Sim Model experience", writing that while fans of Barbie may enjoy the interactivity, other players will most likely not be interested at all. Writer "Miss Chlevous" of GamePro, who scored the game a 2.5 out of five, found the presentation satisfactory but criticized the gameplay for being too slow-paced and primitive, recommending it only to Barbie fans and video game beginners. David Sheff used Super Model as an example of the lack of difficulty common in video games targeted towards girls, while other book authors were critical towards the game for its stereotypical emphasis on sex appeal, fashion and appearance.
