Game Introduction

This game has six different wrestlers to select from, including Fighter Hayabusa, Starman, Kin Corn Karn, Giant Panther, The Amazon, and King Slender. Afterwards, duke it out in the squared circle. The last player standing is the winner.

After you have selected a wrestler, you will have to face the other five in five respective matches. You must defeat each of your opponents either by a pinfall or a countout. A match will be declared a draw if time runs out or both you and your opponent are counted out.

If you defeat all five respective opponents, you will become the champion. Afterwards, you will have to face all of them again to defend your title.

Game Play

Punch and kick your opponent, and use such special moves as Starman's Somersault Kick, Giant Panther's Iron Claw or The Amazon's Piranha Bite to weaken your opponent, and then go for the pin!

Trivia

In the arcade version of this game, you just have to beat the other five opponents to become the champion. But in the NES version of this game, you have to face another wrestler called Great Puma (who is non-selectable and strictly computer-controlled) after beating the other five opponents and then you have to beat him before you can become the champion.

Kin Corn Karn is a parody of a WWF wrestler known as Killer Kahn. Also, even though The Amazon may sound like a female wrestler, he is actually a male wrestler who wears mask, has a classified profile and looks like "The Creature From The Black Lagoon."
