# WWF WrestleMania 2000 - The Attitude Era Wrestling Classic *WWF WrestleMania 2000*, released on October 12, 1999, for the N64 by THQ and AKI Corporation, is a professional wrestling game based on the World Wrestling Federation’s (WWF, now WWE) *WrestleMania* pay-per-view, set during the Attitude Era. Using the same engine as *WCW/nWo Revenge* (1998), it features over 50 wrestlers, including Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, Triple H, The Undertaker, Mankind, and Chris Jericho (in his WWF game debut). Modes include Exhibition (One-on-One, Tag Team, Cage, Royal Rumble, King of the Ring), Road to WrestleMania (a year-long career mode), and Create-a-PPV. It introduced extensive Create-a-Wrestler and edit modes, allowing custom moves, attires, and up to eight championship belts. With full entrances, Titantron videos, and a grappling system, it sold nearly 2 million copies and received favorable reviews (*GameRankings*: 88%, *N64 Magazine*: 90%) but was critiqued for poor audio and roster inaccuracies (*Famitsu*: 28/40). No official re-release exists, but it’s widely emulated. ## Why Play WWF WrestleMania 2000 (1999, N64)? *WWF WrestleMania 2000* delivers polished wrestling action with a deep roster and versatile modes. The Road to WrestleMania mode lets players start as a rookie, competing in a 12-month campaign to win titles (WWF, Intercontinental, European, Tag Team) and main-event *WrestleMania XV* (the game uses the 1999 event’s stage, as it predates the 2000 PPV). Exhibition mode offers varied matches (e.g., Royal Rumble with up to four players, Cage, King of the Ring), while Create-a-PPV allows custom events with TV-style presentation. The grappling system (A/B for strikes, analog stick for grapples) supports combos, finishers (e.g., The Rock’s People’s Elbow), and taunts (e.g., Austin’s middle finger). Create-a-Wrestler offers extensive customization (moves, appearances, entrances), though female wrestlers require unlocking (e.g., Chyna). Gameplay lasts 1-2 hours for Road to WrestleMania runs or 5-20 minutes per match, with four-player multiplayer boosting replayability. Its realistic polygon models, Titantron videos, and Attitude Era vibe shine, but cartridge-limited audio and tough AI frustrate. X posts praise its entrances, roster, and nostalgic multiplayer fun, though some prefer *WWF No Mercy* (2000) for polish. ## Key Features - Play as over 50 WWF superstars (e.g., Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, Triple H, Mankind, Chris Jericho, Chyna); 16 custom wrestler slots - Modes: Exhibition (One-on-One, Tag Team, Cage, Royal Rumble, King of the Ring), Road to WrestleMania, Create-a-PPV - Extensive Create-a-Wrestler/edit modes: customize moves, attires (four templates per wrestler), entrances - Grappling system with combos, finishers (e.g., Mankind’s Mr. Socko), taunts; hidden weapons (e.g., chairs) - Four-player support via multitap; Rumble Pak compatible; stat tracking for career mode - Experience authentic N64 gameplay on our retro ROM platform ## Key Differences: N64 vs. Other Versions & WWF Games - **N64 vs. Game Boy Color (1999)**: N64 has 50+ wrestlers, full modes, 3D graphics, entrances; GBC has 10 wrestlers, basic 2D gameplay, no Create-a-Wrestler, mixed reviews (*GameRankings*: 60%). - **Compared to WWF WrestleMania: The Arcade Game (1995, SNES)**: *WrestleMania 2000* is a wrestling sim with a larger roster (50+ vs. 6), realistic moves, and career mode; *Arcade Game* is a *Mortal Kombat*-style fighter with exaggerated moves (e.g., Doink’s mallet) and fewer modes. - **Compared to WWF Raw (1994, SNES)**: *WrestleMania 2000* has more wrestlers (50+ vs. 12), advanced graphics, deeper modes (e.g., Road to WrestleMania vs. Raw Endurance), and customization; *Raw* uses simpler tug-of-war grapples and weapons (chairs, buckets). - **Compared to WWF No Mercy (2000, N64)**: *WrestleMania 2000* lacks *No Mercy*’s branching storylines, backstage areas, and larger roster; has better entrances (Titantron videos) per X posts. - **Regional Notes**: Japan’s version (2000, *Virtual Pro Wrestling 2* engine) identical; no *Probotector*-style changes. ## Play WWF WrestleMania 2000 (1999, N64) Online Step into the ring today!
