About WWF Wrestlemania

WWF WrestleMania is a professional wrestling arcade game released by Midway in 1995. It is based on the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) professional wrestling circuit. The game features digitized graphics of eight WWF wrestlers who are put against each other in fast paced matches inspired by Midway's Mortal Kombat and NBA Jam arcade games. The game commentary is provided by Vince McMahon and Jerry Lawler, who also both appear in the game, sat at the announcers table.

WWF Wrestlemania Gameplay

In WWF WrestleMania's one-player mode the player can choose one of eight wrestlers – Doink the Clown, Lex Luger, The Undertaker, Yokozuna, Shawn Michaels, Razor Ramon, Bam Bam Bigelow, and Bret Hart. WWF WrestleMania features two single-player modes: the Intercontinental Championship and the WWF Championship. 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. 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. 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. In-game music consists of snippets from the roster's circa-1994 entrance music (with the exception of Shawn Michaels, who has the older, Sherri Martel version of "Sexy Boy" and Undertaker with his previous theme when he had the Western Mortician moniker from 1991 to 1994), as well as the opening themes to WWF Monday Night RAW, WWF Superstars, and WWF Wrestling Challenge.
