========================================================
******INTRODUCTION******
========================================================
Published by the Varie Corporation in 1995, Stardust
Suplex is an obscure Japanese Pro Wrestling title
released on the Super Famicom game system with an
emphasis on Japanese Women's Professional wrestling.
In typical Puroresu video game fashion, Stardust Suplex
features a roster of some of the most recognizable and
successful Joshi Wrestlers of the early 1990's all under
different aliases and monikers to avoid potential lawsuits.
It's also interesting to note that the company responsible
for creating Stardust Suplex also created the Shin Nippon
Tokyo Dome series of Wrestling games for the Super Famicom
system as well and, as such, Stardust Suplex actually
plays quite similar to Varie's Shin Nippon Tokyo Dome
Battle 7 (which was also released around the same time).
Needless to say, for it's time, Stardust Suplex is easily
one of the more playable Joshi wrestling games released
with easily accesible gameplay, a decent amount of modes
to play through and a very colourful cast of famous Joshi
Wrestlers to choose from.

========================================================
******GAMEPLAY******
========================================================
=========
-Lockups:
=========
When both Wrestlers lock arms and attempt to grapple.
To initiate a lockup, simply walk up to the opponent
and a lockup animation will begin.
==========
-Grapples:
==========
During the "Lockup" animation, both players will join
hands and bend their knees back and forth. During this
animation, a small window of time will be initiated
where the first player to successfully input their
command the fastest will win the lockup and be able
to perform a grapple.
Note: when in a Lockup, only input the desired grapple
ONCE. Button mashing during the lockup will result in
losing the Lockup and allow the opponent to have a free
grapple.
===========
-Reversals:
===========
A defensive technique used to counter stronger
grapples and special moves. The more health and
Stamina a player has, the higher the possibility
the player has of pulling off a reversal.
On higher difficulty settings, the computer opponent
will perform reversals on a more constant basis.
=========
-Stamina:
=========
A yellow energy bar located under both player's
lifebars. Every strike, submission, and grapple
raises a Wrestler's Stamina.
When enough Stamina is gained, a Wrestler's
special move can then be executed.
A Wrestler will lose Stamina as soon as their
special move has been initiated (whether landed
or reversed by the opponent).
Either player can also gain Stamina while they
are being stomped on while laying on the ground.
Just like the lifebar, both player's Stamina bars
can constantly be refilled.
===============
-Special moves:
===============
Finishers and signature moves that can only be
performed by pressing Y + B (signature move) or
A + B (finisher) with a sufficient amount of
Stamina. Usually, each Wrestler's finisher (A +
B) requires more stamina to perform than a
Signature move.
Each Wrestler has two special moves (except for
Beauty Mutsuki who has three) that vary in
execution from Wrestler to Wrestler.
When a Special move is performed, the screen
will flash for a few seconds as both Wrestlers
will begin glowing.

personally. The code has been featured on Stardust

order: L + R, then A + Y (it could also be L, R, A,
Y or L+R+A+Y) then press Up, Down, Right, Left, Up,

said that after waiting for 10 seconds on this screen,
the game's end credits will then be shown.
