FAQ guide by: Fire_Pro_Fan
_______________________________________________________
Released on the Sega Genesis in 1995, WWF Wrestlemania:
The Arcade Game combined the over the top action of Midway's
Mortal Kombat series with eight of the World Wrestling
Federation's biggest superstars.
The Arcade Game's biggest selling point was the game's
digitized graphics (a trend for many fighters in the
early 90's) which allowed players to actually play
as their favorite WWF Superstars for the first time
ever; with every move recorded by the Wrestlers
themselves.
===================================
Update:3/9/2016: Six Button Layout:
===================================
After additional feedback. this FAQ now supports both
three button and six button controller configurations.
As such, the moveset of each Wrestler has been simplified
to accomodate both controller types and the cheat section
has also been updated as well.
