# WWF WrestleMania *WWF WrestleMania: The Arcade Game*, released 1995 for the Arcade, is a high-energy wrestling/fighting hybrid inspired by *Mortal Kombat*. Unlike simulation-based WWF games like *WWF Raw* (1994), it uses digitized sprites and exaggerated moves (e.g., Doink’s joy buzzer, Undertaker’s ghost summon). The SNES version features six wrestlers: Shawn Michaels, Bret “Hitman” Hart, The Undertaker, Razor Ramon, Doink the Clown, and Lex Luger (arcade/PlayStation versions include Bam Bam Bigelow and Yokozuna). Players compete in three modes: One-on-One (single match), Tag Team (with double-teaming), and championship modes (Intercontinental or WWF, facing four or five opponents). With vibrant 16-bit graphics, commentary by Vince McMahon and Jerry Lawler, and two-player support, it was praised for its arcade flair (*GamePro*: 4.5/5) but criticized for limited depth and roster cuts (*IGN Retro*: 7/10). No official re-release exists, but it’s widely emulated. ## Why Play WWF WrestleMania: The Arcade Game (1995, SNES)? *WWF WrestleMania: The Arcade Game* (SNES) delivers fast-paced, arcade-style wrestling with a focus on combos and over-the-top action. Players select from six WWF superstars, each with unique movesets, combos (e.g., Bret Hart’s Y, Y, B, A for a multi-hit), and finishers (e.g., Shawn Michaels’ Sweet Chin Music). Matches end via pinfall or count-out, using health bars and a 99-second timer. The combo meter (1-5 points) powers up attacks or spawns weapons (hammers, buckets) after high-damage chains. One-on-One is a quick match, Tag Team allows partner assists, and championship modes challenge players to defeat multiple opponents for the Intercontinental or WWF title. Gameplay lasts 10-20 minutes per mode, with two-player versus mode boosting replayability. Its digitized sprites, voice clips (e.g., “Oh, what a move!”), and 1990s WWF nostalgia shine, but the reduced roster and lack of Royal Rumble mode disappoint. X posts praise its chaotic multiplayer and arcade energy, ideal for retro wrestling fans. ## Key Features - Play as 6 WWF superstars: Shawn Michaels, Bret Hart, Undertaker, Razor Ramon, Doink, Lex Luger - 3 modes: One-on-One, Tag Team, Intercontinental/WWF Championship - Combo system (2-5 hits), finishers (e.g., Undertaker’s Tombstone), weapons (hammers, buckets) - Two-player versus mode; health bars, 99-second timer, pinfalls/count-outs - Commentary by Vince McMahon and Jerry Lawler; digitized 16-bit sprites - Experience authentic SNES gameplay on our retro ROM platform ## Key Differences: SNES vs. Other 1995 Versions - **SNES (1995)**: 6 wrestlers (excludes Bam Bam Bigelow, Yokozuna from arcade), sharp 16-bit graphics, smooth animations, clear audio; no slowdown compared to Genesis. - **Arcade (1995)**: 8 wrestlers, superior visuals, 6-button controls, smoother performance; supports 2 players. - **Genesis (1995)**: 6 wrestlers, muddier colors, weaker audio, slight slowdown in Tag Team; faster input response. - **Sega 32X (1995)**: 6 wrestlers, enhanced colors over Genesis, minor frame drops. - **PlayStation/Saturn/DOS (1995)**: 8 wrestlers, CD-quality audio, near-arcade graphics; PlayStation has slight load times. - **Regional Notes**: Japan’s SNES version identical, titled *WWF WrestleMania: The Arcade Game*; no *Probotector*-style changes. ## Play WWF WrestleMania: The Arcade Game (1995, SNES) Online Step into the ring today!
