Man, this game stinks. If i could give it a rating of ZERO stars, I would, cause this one bites. There are three modes, one on one, tag team, and survivor series. there is no hint of any kind of season or tournament (which even some NES wrestling games had!) but only exhibition matches. Talk about a game that gets boring quick! The sound sucks, (despite that it plays the wrestler's songs) and with only 8 wrestlers, well, you get the point. DONT BUY THIS ONE!

Wow heres a game I havn't played in like a decade or so. Think this game came out in 1991 or something (I got some free poster with it much like the nes game of wrestle challenge that had more glitches than anything i've ever played). This game wasn't bad except that finishing moves were non existant. what got me more was at the same time wrestlemania for sega genesis came out and they all had finishing moves yet the graphics and sound were lousy compared to the snes (plus had some different guys in it). As I said, this one wasn't bad, but could of been better. Oh for the person who put nasty boys in here, i thought it was legion of doom that ws in here, not nasty boys? I know they were in the sega cd of steel cage challenge yet if i remember right, that had no tag team option in that one (programers with such limited resources to work with). Actually the only reason games are good nowadays is because the wrestlers have more interaction in how the game is and how its set up with them specifically (minus the legends like Andre and others that are either deceased or trademarked by WWE so they do whatever with them). I'm kinda shocked that this game is sold for so much since I see it occasionally in game stores for like less than $5 but if you see it there for that cheap, get it for the heck of it, its hard to say cause most of the guys on there I think are on "legends of wrestling" games nowadays. Like I said, ok at the time, by todays standards, a forgetable mistake.

Trust me, the Super NES version of Super Wrestlemania is awful in every sense of the word. The way the wrestlers *very* slowly walk across the screen JUST to deliver a simple generic wrestling move to your opponent (because the game company didn't give any of the wrestlers many moves to work with) is worse than any kind of pain you can imagine.

I can't believe anyone would consider buying this game, unless they had personal childhood memories attached to it and they were buying it BACK after giving it away or something. The one thing it has going for it is the selection of legendary wrestlers. Once you select one of those wrestlers and actually play the game, you're in for a nasty snail-pace surprise. So bad, so boring, so forgettable.

Well, I guess the title for this review should essentially sum up the game. This game featured some of the greatest names in pro wrestling in the late 80's and early 90's. Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage, Shawn Michaels, The Undertaker, Hawk and Animal The Legion of Doom, Earthquake and Typhoon the Natural Disasters, The Million Dollar Man Ted Dibiase and Sid Justice make up quite an impressive roster for a wrestling game made during that era. I will concede that Bret "The Hitaman" Hart not being in the game is kind of a snub, but it does not matter since the game is lousy.

There is the typical one-on-one match-up as well as Tag Team match-up, and even a Survivor Series elimination match. But the biggest flaw is the fact that there are no finishers. You won't see Hogan's leg drop, Savage's flying elbow, Earthquake's butt-splash or the Doomsday Device. It is just a simple finger-blistering grapple war, and no tournament or campaign mode means that there is no real reason to play more than a single match of the game, nor is there any point to selecting a character.

The sound is the typical recycled grunts and slams on the mat. While the music is halfway decent, that's about the only redeeming factor. These flaws would be fixed in the sophomoric attempt Royal Rumble. This title, however, was best avoided then back in the day, and now as well.

LJN was a subsidiary of Acclaim Entertainment created to make more games for the NES and it continued into the SNES/Genesis era. One of their first games they released for the SNES was WWF Super Wrestlemania in 1992. While it was great to see a game with the WWF license, it only turned out to be a forgettable wrestling game that sorely lacked content and variety.

WWF Super Wrestlemania lets you take control of one out of eight wrestlers. From there, you can choose to play a one player game to go against the computer, a 2 player vs. game to go against another player or a tag team mode where you and another player take on a computer controlled tag team. Whoever pins the other person first is the winner of the match. That's pretty much the entire game. There is nothing else to do but to tweak the options before or after the match.

The PROS: For its time, the graphics and sounds were top notch. The controls were simple enough so it doesn't take long before you pull off punches, kicks, body slams and jumping off from the top rope. The wrestlers look good enough that you recognize them. Finally, 2 player support means you can take on a friend anytime you wanted when you get tired of playing against the computer.

The CONS: The problems here are few but bothersome. First off, you only have 8 wrestlers and that is a small selection to choose from. Second, the game modes are scarce: there aren't any main story or tournament modes to play through. One player, 2 player vs. and tag team modes are no different from each other. Even though they look like the real wrestlers, the in-game wrestlers don't have any of their trademark moves. They all move the same and have the same basic moves so it didn't matter which wrestler you play with. Then there is the ring you fight in. There's only one ring you fight in. The crowd cheers for you in the background but it loops constantly so it will eventually get on your nerves. At this point, the game starts to get very repetitive with no real purpose other than to fight over and over again. Clearly, LJN just wanted this game out there since there were new gaming consoles that people were buying at the time.

It was fun playing this game for a while but afterwards, it got boring. The lack of game modes, variety in the rings and the absence of trademark moves for the wrestlers just makes WWF Super Wrestlemania feel like a generic wrestling game without any of the things that mirrored the World Wrestling Federation at the time. If you're looking for a good SNES wrestling game, get Royal Rumble instead.

This game is terrible!!! I wish I could rate it with negative stars. This is a disgrace to wrestling, sports entertainment, and anything associated with it. As big of a joke as wrestling is, this is still bad.

There are very few moves, very robotic movement. No finishing moves, lack of modes as well. Single player, YAY! Punch and kick 1 guy until one of you has had enough then get pinned. Tag team mode, the exact same, but with 2 guys on each side and Survivor Series mode, the exact same with 4 guys. That's it, that's all there is. No career mode for a belt, no battle royal, nothing. RAW was much better for the snes. Get that instead

i remember getting this for christmas as a kid, at the time this game was very fun, infact it's still one of my guilty pleasures but this game today is severly out dated and people who grew up on sd vs raw and all that would probobly get bored with this very quick, especially since all the wrestlers have the same exact moves and there isn't very many wrestlers to choose from

This game was always pretty cool to me when it first came onto the scene. But it has no tornaments or many match options. Every charactor has the exact same moves. I'd recomend you have a control pad with turbo buttons, because it was very "button masher friendly". I recomend it's sequel tho, Royal Rumble.

The original Wrestlemania was in no way at all a good game. It was boring, slow and every wrestler had the same exact moves and more or less looked the same.

Wrestlemania wasn't meant to be a stand out game. I think it was meant to be the beginning of something else because after this came WWF Royal Rumble and WWF Raw which some of us plated to death.

I would surpass this one and go straight to either WWF Royal Rumble or WWF RAW.

This game is a horrible game.The graphics suck, every one of the 8 wrestlers have the exact same moves and the sound is freaky,like a cow throwing up or something.Whats weird is its kind of addicting and fun.You forget about the ... of the game and have fun, its very weird.But you still shouldnt buy this game.
