File:JewelryStarBraceletVenus.jpg|Jewelry Star Bracelet
* Teletia S: Items used by the Sailor Guardians that only appeared in the live-action series. These phones replaced the Communicator devices that were seen in the manga and anime. They functioned as regular cell phones and could also be used to contact more than one person at once.The Sailor Guardians could also use these items to disguise themselves. They could do so by taking someone's picture with the phone's camera and the girls could then take on the appearance (or at least the clothing) of that person. The picture could be used right away or could be stored on the phone for use at a later time (such as for parties, dates, etc.).
* Silver Bracelet ｢銀ぎんのブレスレット｣: Minako wears this in human form. When she becomes Sailor Venus the bracelet turns into the Jewelry Star Bracelet.
** Jewelry Star Bracelet: An item used exclusively in Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon. It is used by Minako Aino in order to transform into her Sailor Senshi form. In confined form when not being used, it is silver bracelet, and when the Sailor Senshi transform, it becomes bigger and bulkier. It is worn on Sailor Venus' left wrist. The center jewel is orange in color, representing her primary theme color, while the surrounding material is pink with white trim.

File:VenusTambourine.jpg|Sailor Star Tambourine
File:VDagger.jpg|Mars and Venus Daggers ｢火星かせいと金星きんぼしの短剣たんけん｣
* Crescent Moon Cutter: A Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon-only item used by Sailor V. It is used as an attack item or a small knife. She could also use it like a boomerang against her enemies. Even though it resembles the compact Sailor V uses in the manga, it does not have a mirror on the inside and does not share any functions with that item. She also used the item when she was Sailor Venus. It was given to her by Artemis.
* Chain: An item that appeared in Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon. It was her primary weapon, used to perform many attacks. In the live-action series, she used it to perform Venus Love-Me Chain, and also as a defensive/offensive physical weapon. The chain was strong enough to block edged weapons without breaking.
* Sailor Star Tambourine: Weapons exclusive to Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon that are given to the Inner Sailor Guardians by Artemis.The Sailor Senshi use them to focus their powers and make their attacks stronger, as well as to perform special group attacks. Sailor Jupiter and Sailor Mercury both have unique attacks associated with their tambourines, Jupiter Thunderbolt, and Mercury Aqua Storm, respectively. It can be assumed that the other Sailor Senshi have attacks such as these as well, but they never make explicit appearances.The Sailor Senshi can also transform their tambourines into weapons. Sailor Mercury can create a sword, Sailor Jupiter can create a spear, and Sailor Mars and Sailor Venus can create a pair of daggers.The Sailor Senshi can also send star-shaped energy at enemies, though this attack was never named. The colors of the stars are the same as the dominant theme color for each of the respective Senshi.
** Mars and Venus Daggers ｢火星かせいと金星きんぼしの短剣たんけん｣: In the live-action series, Sailor Mars and Sailor Venus were able to transform their Sailor Star Tambourines into daggers. They were referred to as the "Mars and Venus Daggers". The weapons do not have an official name.Sailor Mars first used the daggers in Act 49, when she, Mercury and Jupiter, called on the power of their respective home planets to help them stop Princess Sailor Moon from destroying the Earth in her grief. Holding onto Venus' Star Tambourine, she was able to transform it and her own into the Mars and Venus daggers. Her own dagger is red and is in front of Venus' orange one.Sailor Venus used the daggers in the Special Act to stop Queen Mio and prevent her evil from spreading. Her orange dagger is in front of Mars' red one.

After Nephrite seized it, she activated the tiara, causing it to explode, saying she had no plans to easily relinquish the true crystal.

* Spirit of the Sailor Guardians ｢伝説でんせつの剣けん｣: A mystical item that appeared in the live-action series. It looks very similar to the Sword of the Silver Crystal in the manga and in Crystal. It appeared in the Special Act of the series. The sword was originally kept in the Moon Castle, but Queen Serenity sent it to the Earth during the Special Act. Minako, Ami, Makoto, and Usagi used the power of the sword to temporarily regain their Senshi powers in order to fight Queen Mio.
* Musical box
: Can Pilot: Motorcycle
Intelligence: Average (She is an idol singer. She is strict and calm, as well as smart and observant, but she also has a good sense of humor), possibly Varies with Teletia S (She can gain the skills of whoever she changes into)
Standard Tactics: Minako is pretty pragmatic, she uses the Teletia S to disguise herself and gain new superhuman abilities, although she usually transforms into her Sailor Guardian form for battle purposes | Sailor Venus uses love-based powers in addition to forms of light and metal transformation. Her attacks are based around love, with the exception of Venus Beam. 
Weaknesses: Suffers from terminal illness | She lost her power to transform as the Silver Crystal was destroyed by the end and needs the Spirit of the Sailor Guardians and the rest of her team to transform
* Needs to maintain concentration to use her magic.
* If she takes significant damage from far superior opponents, she can detransform.
* If the Silver Crystal is destroyed she will lose her power to transform.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:

* Venus Power, Make Up: The 1st transformation used by Minako Aino to turn into Sailor Venus with the help of her Silver Bracelet in the Sailor Moon series. It debuted in Act 17 of Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon. As Minako calls out the command, her Jewelry Star Bracelet changes from its smaller, sealed form into its full form, and the gems begins to glow. She sweeps her hand past her ear as her nails turns orange which is similar to her Venus Star Power Make Up transformation in the anime and her leotard appears. She leaps into the air and does several twirls and flips as golden ribbons swirls past, forming her skirt and collar. She lands lightly, striking a brief pose, then strutts forward, her bow, shoes, gloves and chain belt appearing as illusionary duplicates of herself appears around her in various poses. Her tiara appears and a breeze filled with glitter ruffles her hair, making it longer and lighter. A pair of silhouetted miniature rhythm gymnasts dances past, trailing glowing ribbons that turns her hair blonde and adds her hair beads. The glowing figures appears again, forming her red hair bow. Sailor Venus then finishes in her final pose.
