WWF: WrestleMania

The game uses a side-view wrestling ring where players fight one-on-one matches. Core actions include striking, grappling, countering, rope interactions, and triggering signature finishers with the proper input timing. Matches are about building momentum through throws, slams, and combo strings before going for a pin or a decisive special move. Positioning near the ropes and corners matters a lot, since the arena layout can be used to extend combos or trap opponents.

Bret Hart

A technical wrestler focused on counters and combo control.

Shawn Michaels

A fast, agile attacker suited to quick pressure and aerial offense.

The Undertaker

A power-based wrestler with intimidating finishing moves.

Doink the Clown

A flashy, theatrical character with deceptive offense.

Hulk Hogan

A classic powerhouse built around straightforward domination.

Learn grappling ranges and counter timing first, because missing a grab often leads to punishment in this fast arcade format. Use the ropes and corners to create space, then convert openings into longer strings or a finisher. Against stronger opponents, avoid trading blows too long; bait an attack and answer with a throw or special move. Save your biggest attack for when the opponent is clearly staggered or low on health.

Tips and tricks

• Stay at mid-range to read opponent openings more safely.
• After a combo, a grab attempt is often more reliable than extended striking.
• When trapped, look for a chance to escape corners quickly.
