==Gameplay==
The game plays more like a standard fighter than the wrestling games that would follow it. Attacks are quick and each character has special moves and can perform combos. Rather than a single match the fight is broken up into rounds with two wins needed to become the victor. Single player game modes include Intercontinental Championship and the WWF Championship. Multi-player game modes include Head to Head and Cooperative. Commentary is provided by Vince McMahon and Jerry Lawler, who can be seen sitting in the background at the announcers table.

Although based on professional wrestling, the game plays more like a fighting game, inspired by Midway's popular ''[[:Category:Mortal Kombat (franchise)|Mortal Kombat]]'' series, than a conventional wrestling game. However, unlike most fighting games, gameplay takes place in a two-dimensional playfield that the wrestlers can move in and out of. While actual wrestling moves are present, matches consist primarily of strike attacks and special moves. The game features many over-the-top and cartoonish attacks, such as Doink the Clown pulling a mallet out of thin air, Razor Ramon's arm transforming into a blade, or Bam Bam Bigelow's fists catching on fire. Each character can "bleed" an object that represents them, such as dumbbells flying out of Lex Luger or valentine hearts coming out of Bret Hart. Rather than a single match, the fight is broken up into timed rounds, with two wins needed to become the victor.
 +
 
 +
There are 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 two-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.
 +
 
 +
Wrestlers move around the ring using the D-Pad. They punch with {{X}} and "Super Punch" with {{Z}} and kick with {{A}} and "Super Kick" with {{C}}. The Super attacks are slower but more powerful. Wrestlers can block attacks by holding {{B}} and can shove by pressing punch ({{X}}) while blocking. They can run by holding {{Y}} (with {{left}} or {{right}} to choose a direction) and can attack while running. They rebound off the ropes enclosing the ring when running. Wrestlers can climb up to a turnbuckle (by holding {{upleft}} or {{upright}} in the upper corners of the ring) and then dive off by pressing any button (except block). Once an opponent's vitality has been drained, the player must pin the opponent by pressing any button.
 +
 
 +
Each wrestler has his own special moves and combos, but they have some shared techniques. A wrestler can throw his opponent into the ropes with {{left}} {{left}} {{Z}} (or {{right}} {{right}} {{Z}} when facing left). A "Recover" meter appears, and the opponent rebounds off the ropes out of control until the meter is filled (which can be sped up if the player presses buttons repeatedly). Every wrestler can slam his opponent into the mat with {{left}} {{left}} {{X}} (or {{right}} {{right}} {{X}} when facing left). Finally, wrestlers can grab opponents in a head hold with {{right}} {{right}} {{Z}} (or {{left}} {{left}} {{Z}} when facing left), which can be followed up by an attack. While in a head hold, a wrestler can perform a reversal with {{right}} {{right}} {{Z}} (or {{left}} {{left}} {{Z}} when facing left) or {{down}} {{down}} {{C}}.
 +
 
 +
It is possible to throw a wrestler out of the ring and then follow the opponent out through the ropes. The wrestler outside the ring loses health if his opponent stays inside the ring.
 +
 
 +
Wrestlers have a combo meter that fills as they perform moves during a round. When the meter fills, the wrestler can perform a combo by putting his opponent in a head hold and then pressing {{right}} {{right}} and any button (or {{left}} {{left}} if facing left). The combo meter is retained between rounds. A pinned wrestler with a full combo meter can get a "second wind" and recover with a sliver of health by pressing buttons repeatedly, if it is the last round and the wrestlers are inside the ring.

Playable characters are: Bam Bam Bigelow, Bret Hart, Doink the Clown, Lex Luger, Razor Ramon, Shawn Michaels, The Undertaker and Yokozuna.

==Music and sound==
 +
In-game music consists of snippets from the roster's circa-1994 entrance music (with the exception of Shawn Michaels and the Undertaker, who use older versions of their themes), as well as the opening themes to ''WWF Monday Night RAW'', ''WWF Superstars'', and ''WWF Wrestling Challenge''.

In comparison to the SNES version the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis port contains all 8 characters instead of 6. It also allows 4 characters onscreen at once but with slowdown, but not as much as found in the SNES port. Most of the voice and commentary is present although much of Jerry Lawlers commentary is dropped.

The [[Super NES]] version only have six characters, omitting Bam Bam Bigelow and Yokozuna. The Sega Mega Drive port contains all eight characters and also allows four characters to be on-screen at once, albeit with slowdown (though not as much as found in the SNES port). Most of the voice and commentary is present, although much of Jerry Lawler's commentary is dropped.
  
The 32X port was an enhanced Mega Drive port thus is not as close to the arcade as it could have been if it were built from the ground up. The graphics and audio was improved somewhat (rendering in-game at 320x224 vs 256x224) but the frame rate was reduced to 30 FPS instead of the 60 FPS found in other versions. This does however help to avoid slowdown issues.

The CD-ROM versions (including Saturn) is more accurate to the arcade version than other ports. Graphically it is similar although not as sharp and the sprites are slightly smaller. There is no in-game music. Loading time is of course, increased, this includes when loading the next character in a Battle Royal.

WWF WrestleMania: The Arcade Game (レッスルマニア・ジ・アーケードゲーム) is a 1995 wrestling game developed by Midway Manufacturing for the arcades, based on the World Wrestling Federation professional wrestling promotion. Sculptured Software produced ports of the game for the Sega Mega Drive, Sega 32X and Sega Saturn, which were published by Acclaim in 1995 and 1996.

Unlike most wrestling games, WrestleMania is a one-on-one versus fighter, similar to the likes of Mortal Kombat. The game features digitized representations of eight WWF performers. Commentary is provided by Vince McMahon and Jerry Lawler, who also appear in the game sitting at the announcers' table to the right of the ring.

Later, a sequel called WWF In Your House was released for the PlayStation, Sega Saturn, and DOS.

Gameplay

Although based on professional wrestling, the game plays more like a fighting game, inspired by Midway's popular Mortal Kombat series, than a conventional wrestling game. However, unlike most fighting games, gameplay takes place in a two-dimensional playfield that the wrestlers can move in and out of. While actual wrestling moves are present, matches consist primarily of strike attacks and special moves. The game features many over-the-top and cartoonish attacks, such as Doink the Clown pulling a mallet out of thin air, Razor Ramon's arm transforming into a blade, or Bam Bam Bigelow's fists catching on fire. Each character can "bleed" an object that represents them, such as dumbbells flying out of Lex Luger or valentine hearts coming out of Bret Hart. Rather than a single match, the fight is broken up into timed rounds, with two wins needed to become the victor.

There are 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 two-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.

Wrestlers move around the ring using the D-Pad. They punch with X and "Super Punch" with Z and kick with A and "Super Kick" with C. The Super attacks are slower but more powerful. Wrestlers can block attacks by holding B and can shove by pressing punch (X) while blocking. They can run by holding Y (with Left or Right to choose a direction) and can attack while running. They rebound off the ropes enclosing the ring when running. Wrestlers can climb up to a turnbuckle (by holding Up-left or Up-right in the upper corners of the ring) and then dive off by pressing any button (except block). Once an opponent's vitality has been drained, the player must pin the opponent by pressing any button.

Each wrestler has his own special moves and combos, but they have some shared techniques. A wrestler can throw his opponent into the ropes with Left Left Z (or Right Right Z when facing left). A "Recover" meter appears, and the opponent rebounds off the ropes out of control until the meter is filled (which can be sped up if the player presses buttons repeatedly). Every wrestler can slam his opponent into the mat with Left Left X (or Right Right X when facing left). Finally, wrestlers can grab opponents in a head hold with Right Right Z (or Left Left Z when facing left), which can be followed up by an attack. While in a head hold, a wrestler can perform a reversal with Right Right Z (or Left Left Z when facing left) or Down Down C.

It is possible to throw a wrestler out of the ring and then follow the opponent out through the ropes. The wrestler outside the ring loses health if his opponent stays inside the ring.

Wrestlers have a combo meter that fills as they perform moves during a round. When the meter fills, the wrestler can perform a combo by putting his opponent in a head hold and then pressing Right Right and any button (or Left Left if facing left). The combo meter is retained between rounds. A pinned wrestler with a full combo meter can get a "second wind" and recover with a sliver of health by pressing buttons repeatedly, if it is the last round and the wrestlers are inside the ring.

Music and sound

In-game music consists of snippets from the roster's circa-1994 entrance music (with the exception of Shawn Michaels and the Undertaker, who use older versions of their themes), as well as the opening themes to WWF Monday Night RAW, WWF Superstars, and WWF Wrestling Challenge.

Versions

The Super NES version only have six characters, omitting Bam Bam Bigelow and Yokozuna. The Sega Mega Drive port contains all eight characters and also allows four characters to be on-screen at once, albeit with slowdown (though not as much as found in the SNES port). Most of the voice and commentary is present, although much of Jerry Lawler's commentary is dropped.

The 32X port was an enhanced Mega Drive port, thus it is not as close to the arcade as it could have been if it were built from the ground up. The graphics and audio were improved somewhat (rendering in-game at 320x224 vs 256x224), but the frame rate was reduced to 30 FPS instead of the 60 FPS found in other versions. This does, however, help to avoid slowdown issues.

The CD-ROM versions, including the Saturn port, are more accurate to the arcade version than other ports. Graphically, they are similar, though not as sharp, and the sprites are slightly smaller. There is no in-game music. Loading time is increased, including when loading the next character in a Battle Royale.
