How it plays

How does WWF WrestleMania play?

Matches take place in a side-view ring. The objective is to wear down an opponent, knock them to the mat, and keep them pinned long enough for the referee to count three.

Players move around the ring, strike, grapple, throw opponents, and attempt pinfalls. The game supports solo play against the computer and two-player competition. Wrestler attributes and special attacks provide some variation, but there is no large campaign or extensive character progression.

Plan your run

What is the best way to play WWF WrestleMania?

Use movement to create space before attacking, then follow a successful strike with a grapple or throw. Avoid repeatedly trading blows when your wrestler is weakened.

Save pin attempts for moments when the opponent is clearly down. Against computer opponents, patience is useful: defend, punish missed attacks, and keep the fight near the center of the ring.
