The Story Behind WWF WrestleMania - The Arcade Game

WWF WrestleMania (released on home consoles as WWF WrestleMania: The Arcade Game) is a professional wrestling arcade video game released by Midway Manufacturing Co. in 1995. The PlayStation version omits most of the background music especially during the matches, match transition and title screen and plays the theme songs of the victorious wrestler on a small loop only after one on one victory between two players, and the only other music played is during the end of the Intercontinental, World Wrestling Federation tournaments, the end of the Tag Team rumble, and during the credits. Commentary is provided by Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler, who also appear in the game sitting at the announcers' table to the right of the ring, and Howard Finkel welcoming players to Wrestlemania at the start screen.

The Genesis version retains most of the voice and commentary samples from the arcade and allows for four wrestlers on-screen, also with slow down. Ports were developed for Mega Drive/Genesis, 32X, Super NES, PlayStation, Sega Saturn, and MS-DOS. When the maximum of three characters are on screen simultaneously, the game slows down.

What You'll Play

WWF WrestleMania features two single-player modes: the Intercontinental Championship and the WWF Championship. In the more difficult WWF Championship mode, the player must win four Handicap 2-on-1 matches, two Handicap 3-on-1 matches, and finally a "WrestleMania Challenge," where the player must defeat every wrestler in the game in a gauntlet, starting with a three-on-one setup, with each eliminated opponent being replaced with another until all eight have been defeated. In the Intercontinental Championship mode, the player must win four one-on-one matches, two Handicap 2-on-1 matches, and one Handicap 3-on-1 match to win the title.

The game also features two multi-player modes; head to head, a one-on-one match between two players, or cooperative, where the two players team up in a tag team version of the WrestleMania Challenge in which they must defeat the game's eight wrestlers in groups of two to become the Tag Team Champions. WWF WrestleManias one-player mode has the player choose one of eight wrestling superstars – Bret "The Hitman" Hart, The Undertaker, Shawn Michaels, Razor Ramon, Bam Bam Bigelow, Yokozuna, Doink the Clown, and Lex Luger. What separates this game from previous and future WWF/WWE video games is its over-the-top and very cartoonish attacks.

Why It Still Hits

After about five minutes you'll find yourself able to perform some of the most outrageous moves." In 1996, GamesMaster ranked the Mega Drive Version 10th on their "The GamesMaster Mega Drive Top 10" In the same issue, GamesMaster ranked the SNES version 10th in their "The GamesMaster SNES Top 10." GamePros Scary Larry gave it a 4.5/5 for control and a perfect 5/5 in every other category (graphics, sound, and FunFactor), calling it "a great wrestling game, a great fighting game, and a great as-fun-to-watch-as-it-is-to-play game." A reviewer for Next Generation opined that it "looks great and plays even better." The two sports reviewers of Electronic Gaming Monthly both gave it a 9 out of 10 and an "Editor's Choice Platinum" award, and remarked, "[Acclaim and Williams] have turned out the lights on anyone thinking of making a wrestling game for the PlayStation." Scary Larry said the 32X version is "no match for the PlayStation title" and lacks many of the sound samples of the arcade version, but at least has better graphics than the Genesis and Super NES versions, and overall is a must-have for 32X owners. However, he also said it was a disappointment that there was nothing new in this version despite it coming out almost a year after the PlayStation version.

He nonetheless found the game is enjoyable and outshines earlier wrestling games for the system. He applauded the "cleanly digitized" characters, variety of moves, ability to play either head-to-head or two-on-two cooperative, and sense of humor. He summarized, "Lose the basketball from NBA Jam, take away the blood from MK, throw in some famous wrestlers, and you have WWF Wrestlemania, one of the most addictive arcade games to date." A reviewer for Next Generation similarly described WWF Wrestlemania as a sort of bloodless Mortal Kombat, and said it is similar to but "much better" than WWF Raw.
