Wrestlemania the game

In single-player, you have two game modes to play through. When you compete for the Intercontinental Championship you face four one on one opponents. This is followed by a couple of one vs two and then final a one vs three matches for the title. The WWF Championship mode is much harder. Here you face four one on two matches, two one on three and then a Royal Rumble where it is you against eight other wrestlers three at a time to become the WWF Champion.

You can also play multiplayer where you can fight a friend or team up to take on the Royal Rumble. My only complaint is that the arcade version has these fun endings, but they are missing from the home versions. This was made by many of the same people behind Mortal Kombat and it shows. It has the same five button system. You have two punches, two kicks, and a block. You do special moves with button combinations and also via entering what the game calls a head hold.

There is a great selection of moves ranging from standard dropkicks and slams to over the top stuff like smashing an opponent with a tombstone or electrocuting them. The releases found on CD media are most similar to the Arcade given superior hardware capabilities and larger storage space available.

The SNES release is generally regarded as the worst of the home the ports. It was the only port to omit two characters from the roster Bam Bam Bigelow and Yokozuna. There is a limit of three characters on screen at once while all other releases allowed four. Visually it does feature a presentation more reminiscent to the Arcade compared to the Genesis.

However, it suffers from persistent slowdown most notably when three wrestlers are on screen. It also lacks several voice and commentary samples and in terms of game mechanics, damage taken by in-game fighters from attacks was reduced. The Genesis hardware suffers from a limited color palette therefore this port features a bland color scheme compared to other releases.

It retains most of the voice and commentary samples from the arcade albeit dropping most of Jerry "The King" Lawler's commentary and allows four wrestlers on-screen. However, there is slow down when more than three wrestlers are on-screen, though not to the extent of the SNES version.

The Sega 32X release was built upon the Genesis version. This is most commonly done to avoid slowdown which affected the Bit cart versions.
