Please note that the music you are hearing is from the SNES version of WWF Royal Rumble. Oddly enough, though, the same music is used for the wrestler's profiles in virtually every Acclaim and Midway wrestling title(including this one).

In our time, there existed a great tournament that would decide the fate of our world. The Thunder God Raiden sought the aid of the greatest warriors the Earthrealm had ever seen. What he found instead were {scratch}WWF Superstars.
Eh, you were expecting ehhhh, Lui Kang?
What's it all about?
WrestleMania can be described as Mortal Kombat, NBA Jam and the WWF having a threesome one night and this was their baby. You can choose to be one of the eight top wrestlers from the late Gimmick Era(Undertaker, Shawn Michaels, etc) and challenge for either the Intercontinental Championship title or the WWF Championship. It uses MK-like sprites, of which the wrestlers were digitized for(Awesome!). It plays like a fighting game instead of a wrestling title, and the end result was amazing. The wrestlers will use all kinds of crazy shit like baseball bats, tombstones, fucking FIREBALLS and Doink will even use an assortment of clown items.
Graphics - This game was ported to the Genesis by the same great people that ported MK3 and it definitely shows. Character sprites and special effects look great. My only minor complaints are the HUD, which looks nothing like the arcade version, and maybe the crowd in the background. However, it doesn’t detract from the game at all. The slowdown from four wrestlers on the same screen, however, does.

Sound - The sound effects are fine with all of the hits and grunts of the wrestlers, and I’m actually impressed by the speech in this game. The music quality, in my opinion, could’ve been better, and there’s only one song used during fights which changes a little after each round. It’s still a helluva lot better than the shitty excuse for “music” in Super WrestleMania.
Control - The buttons on my 6-button controller all worked perfectly, with each command I input coming off without a hitch. Now if only I knew how to pull off each wrestler’s special moves...but that’s not the game’s fault, I just haven’t taken the time to find out yet.
AI - The A.I. in this game is no joke, but I don’t think that it’s cheap, it’s just that the game likes to make you fight more than one wrestler and things can get hectic because of that.

Replay value - It’s a bit iffy to me. If you want to only beat up one person in the ring at a time, you may be disappointed that you’ll only be able to fight the first four guys in Intercontinental mode. Also after completing WWF mode and beating all eight Superstars in the WrestleMania Challenge, at the end of it, I can safely say that I never want to do that again. If you like beating up multiple opponents and a good challenge though, this game is for you.

Tips for better gaming experiences:
Aside from the usual two-player one-on-one fights there’s also a co-op mode. I have yet to try it since my second controller broke, but I can only imagine that it’ll be fun since the single player game was. 

My rating: 82(out of 100) - I’m more of a one-on-one type of guy so I guess my biggest problem with the game are the amount of opponents you face and the slowdown they bring. Beyond that, it’s still a well-constructed game that’s worth playing.

Ministlkr’s review: It was pretty fun. It was much better than Super WrestleMania, I liked how this game was fun and crazy. I wanna see other wrestling games like this one!

Razor has his work cut out for him...
The dreaded tombstone!
How the hell does he lift that fat bastard!?
Are clown buzzers even legal?
I Call Shenanigans:
The SNES is "supposed" to be a more powerful system than the Genesis, right? Well, the SNES port of this game left out Bam Bam Bigelow and Yokozuna. Also the endings you see in the arcade version are nowhere to be found. What the hell happened?
