* Silver Bracelet ｢銀ぎんのブレスレット｣: Ami wears this in human form. When she becomes Sailor Mercury the bracelet turns into the Jewelry Star Bracelet.
** Jewelry Star Bracelet: An item used exclusively in Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon. They are used by Ami Mizuno, Rei Hino, Makoto Kino, and Minako Aino in order to transform into their Sailor Senshi forms. In confined form when not being used, they were silver bracelets, and when the Sailor Senshi transform, they become bigger and bulkier. It is worn on Sailor Mercury's left wrist. The center jewel is a dark blue in color, representing her primary theme color, while the surrounding material is pink with white trim.
* 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.).
* Dark Jewelry Star Bracelet ｢悪あくのジュエリスターブレスレット｣: A dark and alternate version of the Sailor Guardians' Jewelry Star Bracelet. It was used by a brainwashed Ami Mizuno/"Akumi" to transform into Dark Mercury. She would transform by saying "Dark Power, Make Up." It is worn on Dark Sailor Mercury's left wrist. It was different from the other Bracelets because the heart part and the round ones were dark blue while the surrounding material is gray with dark gray trim and in the other ones it was pink and the heart was red and the outer side was white.

* Ice Sword ｢水みずの剣けん｣: A weapon that only appeared in Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon. Sailor Mercury created this sword from a pool of water. She used this to block an attack that Kunzite created. It later turned back into water and was never seen or mentioned again.
* Dark Sword ｢悪あくのけん｣: A weapon used by Dark Mercury in Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon. It was created out of an icicle. It was shown to create an energy attack in its first appearance but such ability was not seen again after that. This weapon was proven to be offensive and strong. The weapon also destroyed the Moonlight Stick.
* 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.
** Sword ｢剣けん｣: Mercury uses this sword to fight against the enemy. She takes out her Sailor Star Tambourine and, calling on the power of water and the planet Mercury, she transforms it into a sword.
* Harp Bow: Dark Mercury never actually uses this weapon in the series. It worked like a bow and arrow. Originally it was planned to be used as a weapon instead of the icicle sword. However, at the last minute a production decision was made to change the weapon. Several promotional photos still exist with Dark Mercury holding the harp. DVD Vol 6 was originally supposed to have the harp on the cover photo.

* Mercury Power, Make Up: The 1st and the only command used by Ami Mizuno to transform into Sailor Mercury in the live-action series. As Ami 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 crosses her arms and her fingernails turns blue, then she sweeps one arm over her head, and her hair turns short and blue, and her leotard appears. Then she rotates as glowing blue rings and a spiral of bubbly, blue water moves up her body. She holds up her arms and white ribbons forms her gloves, and as she sweeps her hands over her legs her boots appears. She then sweeps an arm around her body, her movement trails by a stream of bubbles, as the rest of her sailor uniform appears. She slowly moves into her finishing pose, her tiara appearing as her hand passes her forehead, and ends in her final pose as water splashes behind her.
* Dark Power, Make Up: A transformation phrase that was only used in Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon. It was used by Ami Mizuno to transform into Dark Mercury while she was brainwashed by Kunzite. She used the Dark Jewelry Star Bracelet, a dark version of the Jewelry Star Bracelet, to transform.

* Mercury Aqua Mist: A steam/fog/mist-related attack performed by Sailor Mercury in the live-action series. It was Sailor Mercury's first attack, and it is offensive in nature. The attack is similar to Shabon Spray, and it creates a dense fog.
* Shine Aqua Illusion: A water/ice/snow/frost-based attack that is used by Sailor Mercury. The attack first appeared in Act 9 of the live-action series, when Sailor Mercury used it against Nephrite. She only used it three times, including one to put out a fire. To perform the attack, Sailor Mercury crosses her hands in front of herself, then lifts her left hand in the air while the other holds out to the side. She then lowered her left arm while lifting the right as she called out the name of the attack. She quickly pulls her arms in then lifts both hands, pointing her right hand at her target as she fires off releasing a swirl of water that either blasts the enemy or freezes them temporarily.
* Mercury Aqua Storm: A water-based attack that was used just once against a youma. It was performed by Sailor Mercury with her Sailor Star Tambourine.Sailor Mercury crosses her arms while holding her Star Tambourine. Then she thrusts her tambourine down while the opposite arm sticks upwards. Then switches her arms and points the Star Tambourine towards the sky while making her finger pose near her face with the other hand.She then spins around and points the tambourine at her target as a powerful burst of water and blue energy blast fires out of it.
* Mercury Aqua Cyclone: A water-based attack performed in Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon against a Youma by Sailor Mercury which sent a powerful stream of water at the target. It was only used in Act 43.
* Mercury Aqua Blizzard: A snow-based attack performed in Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon by Sailor Mercury that was used only once against Metalia Endymion an attack that sent a torrent of snow at her target, encasing it in ice.
* Unnamed attack in which Sailor Mercury uses her Sailor Star Tambourine to send blue star-shaped energy toward her enemy
====Joint Attacks and Techniques====
* Moonlight Attractive Attack: A moonlight-based attack performed by all of the Inner Sailor Guardians together in Act 28. Sailor Moon holds up her Moonlight Stick, while Sailor Jupiter, Venus, Mars, and Mercury hold up their Star Tambourines. Their power comes together to form an attack.
* Sailor Teleport: A group command performed by the Inner Sailor Senshi as they stand in a circle with their hands joined. This command allows the group to transport instantly to their desired destination, whether it be on the Earth's surface or in Outer Space itself. The distance that can be traveled with this command is unknown. In the live-action series, Sailor Mercury, Sailor Mars, and Sailor Jupiter transported themselves to the Dark Kingdom by combining their powers. Though no words were said, it was similar to Sailor Teleport. The Inner Senshi also showed a similar ability in the manga, with no command words spoken.
* Sailor Planet Attack: A energy-based attack performed by the Inner Sailor Senshi in the live-action series. The attack was used to defeat Queen Mio. Sailor Venus, Mercury and Jupiter (except for Mars) hold their hands up to Sailor Moon's Moon Wand and the four begin to walk in a circle. They then stop and spin around. Mercury, Jupiter and Venus then draw their powers in as Sailor Moon holds her Moon Wand in front of herself. All four Sailor Guardians then thrust their hands towards the sky.They all begin to glow their respective colours. In another space, the four speak the words "Sailor Planet..." as they merge into each other.Back in reality, all four thrust their arms forward as they finish the attack phrase with "...Attack!". This releases a powerful white energy blast from Sailor Moon's Moonlight Stick that blasts at their opponent.A bright white light surrounds the girls as their attack is triggered. Luminous white feathers float upwards all around them.
