01.a - Welcome Note
_____________________________________________________________________________
Hello and welcome to my FAQ for WWF Royal Rumble for the SNES! WWF Royal
Rumble holds special sentimental value for me, as it was the first game I
ever played seriously, and it also turned me into a wrestling fan at a very
early age. Sadly, my enthusiasm for televised "Sport Entertainment" has
somewhat waned, however my passion for this game remains. Ten years since its
release, I regularly don my spandex one-piece costume and grab the nearest
guy with a mullet for a quick blast on this wonderful piece of software!
WWF Royal Rumble was, in the opinion of many gamers including myself, the
first wrestling game for the SNES that accurately portrayed the action seen
on the weekly editions of "WWF Raw Is War" and "Superstars" that my friends
and I used to stay up until midnight to watch on satellite TV. Ah, the
dedication we UK wrestling fans have! Besides the graphics, which were pretty
good for their time, authentic music was used on the selection screen, and
the crowd effects were as close to real as had been heard on a console at the
time. Obviously, things have moved on a lot since 1993, but who cares!? WWF
Royal Rumble was really fun to play, and as far as I'm concerned, that is all
that matters in a game.
Anyway, enough of my nostalgic raving, on with the guide already! I hope that
you enjoy my FAQ and that you find it helpful in mastering this excellent
game.
Thanks for reading,

=====\__/ \__/================================================( SECTION 02 )
_____________________________________________________________________________
This is the section where you can find out what all of the game modes do in
WWF Royal Rumble. There are four main sections, so hopefully there should be
little confusion in this area.
Before each match, you are given the opportunity to set the difficulty from
1-10, with 1 being the easiest setting. Win the Rumble on 10 and you're doing
well indeed.
_____________________________________________________________________________
02.a - One-on-one Match
_____________________________________________________________________________
The top option on the mode selection screen, a one-on-one matches is - as the
name suggests - a bout between two fighters, with the first to score a pin-
fall, count-out or submission proclaimed the victor. Once a one-on-one match
has been selected, a number of new options appear:
- One Fall - Regular match in an open ring. Choking and eye-raking is
strictly prohibited, as is the use of any weaponry such as chairs or the
ring bell. Any misconduct will result in the immediate disqualification of
the guilty parties.
- Brawl - A no-holds-barred match where anything goes. The match ends only
when either competitors stamina gauge becomes fully depleted, at which
point the exhausted party will be forced to forfeit the match. Weapons can
be utilised, as well as illegal holds and conduct normally deemed unfair in
a regular match-up.
- Tournament - A tournament consisting of eleven rounds for the WWF
Championship Belt. Throughout the course of the tournament you must fight
and successfully defeat each and every wrestler in the game in succession.
No mean feat, I assure you. Successful completion will win you the belt and
your wrestler's mug-shot in WWF Magazine!
- Two Player - Got a friend and a spare controller? Take them on in a two
-player match or brawl.
_____________________________________________________________________________
02.b - Tag Team
_____________________________________________________________________________
Tag team matches allow two teams of two wrestlers to compete in a normal
match. Only one player from each team may enter the ring at one time, and the
dormant team-mate must "tag" their opponent to switch places with them. The
match types available are as follows:
- One Fall
- Brawl
- Tournament
- Two player - playing co-operatively or competitively with another human
player.
_____________________________________________________________________________
02.c - Triple Tag Team
_____________________________________________________________________________
Triple tag teams are similar to regular tag team matches, but guess what?!
You have three people in each team. The same game modes for Tag Team are
available for Triple Tag Team matches.
_____________________________________________________________________________
02.d - Royal Rumble!
_____________________________________________________________________________
The match that this game is named after, the Royal Rumble is a twelve-man
extravaganza, where the aim is to throw all opponents out of the ring to
eliminate them. The last man remaining at the end is the winner! One or two
players may compete in the Rumble, however once one player is ejected from
the ring they must sit and watch the rest of the match with nothing to do.
This mode is the ultimate challenge in the game, as it requires great skill
and stamina (and even a little luck) to succeed. Tackling all twelve
competitors on the harder difficulty settings is an arduous task indeed.

_____________________________________________________________________________
Of course, depending on the difficulty level chosen, the task of winning a
match-up in WWF Royal Rumble will vary in the challenge it provides. These
strategies are only a suggestion; there are multiple effective methods to
win. The following methods are the ones I use most often when playing
matches. Hopefully you will find them helpful too!
If you have an alternative strategy, please email it to me and I will include
it. Mais oui, you will receive full credit for any strategy I include,
monsieur.
_____________________________________________________________________________
04.a - One Fall Matches
_____________________________________________________________________________
As soon as the ring bell sounds, move towards the centre of the ring and
punch your opponent twice, followed by a swift kick to the mid-section.
Grapple with your opponent and hammer the [A] button to deliver a head-butt.
Perform a couple of ground attacks like a leg-drop or a splash before
hoisting him to his feet. Repeat the punch, punch, kick and grapple move
combo, either head-butting again, or maybe mix it up a little with a few
suplexes or atomic drops. I suggest using the atomic drop move, as it takes a
massive chunk off your opponent's stamina.
After performing these combos two or three times in succession, your
opponent's stamina gauge should be about half-full (or half-empty, should you
be the pessimistic sort). At this stage, you can either finish the job by
doing a couple more of the combos you used beforehand, or you can showboat a
little. Floor your opponent, climb the turnbuckle and perform some
spectacular manoeuvres such as a splash or a diving elbow.
Continue to assault your opponent until his stamina gauge drops into the red
zone. Once this is the case, you are able to perform your character-specific
signature move. If you are unsure about how to do this, consult section 03.b
to find out. Once you have executed this manoeuvre, pin your opponent and
wait for the "1, 2, 3!".
If you are still having trouble winning using this method, I suggest you
practice on an easier difficulty setting. Using this strategy, I am able to
win most matches whilst only taking one or two hits.
_____________________________________________________________________________
04.b - Brawl Matches
_____________________________________________________________________________
In brawl matches, anything goes! The aim of the game it to completely empty
your opponent's stamina bar using any means possible. Eye-gouging, choking
and the use of weapons are permitted, so you should take full advantage of
this.
At the start of the match, head to the centre of the ring and pummel your
opponent with a few punches and proceed to choke him with the [R] button. As
long as you tap the button relatively quickly, he will not be able to escape
the hold. His stamina should reduce steadily, while he is completely unable
to attack you.
Once there is a reasonable gap between your stamina and his, you will be
wanting to take the fight outside of the ring. If you are standing near the
ring ropes, grapple you foe and tap [Y] rapidly to hurl him out of the ring
and on to the harsh concrete floor. Otherwise, climb out of the ring and he
will foolishly follow you to ground level.
Once outside of the ring, grapple your opponent and perform a few suplexes or
atomic drops, which inflict greater damage due to the unforgiving surface you
are dropping him onto. Another good attack is to Irish Whipping your
adversary into the metal railings on the extreme left and right of the arena,
which inflicts considerable damage to him.
Once the match is firmly in your grasp, grab either of the steel chairs
leaning against the bottom of the ring apron and smack your opponent in the
chops. You only get one swing with the chair, but a good, clean hit in the
face will have a devastating effect upon your opponent.
Finally, once your opponent's stamina is close to empty, finish the match in
style by re-entering the ring and layeth the smacketh down on his ass with
your character's signature move to finish him off. Sorted!
_____________________________________________________________________________
04.c - Tag Matches
_____________________________________________________________________________
Tag matches are no harder than regular matches, except they take longer to
finish. This is because you need to beat up all players in the opposite team
to ensure victory. As soon as a CPU team member's stamina bar drops below
50%, they will immediately seek their team-mates and tag them into the
action. Unfortunately, once he makes his way towards his team partner, there
is very little you can do to stop him.
You too should apply the CPU's tactic of tagging once your active wrestler's
stamina gauge falls below half-capacity. The inactive wrestler's stamina
slowly rises again while he waits in his corner. Keep doing this to maximise
your chances of success.
While wrestling, avoid straying nearly the opposing team's corner, for more
often than not one of the dormant wrestlers will grab your throat and begin
to choke you, allowing the other team members to pull a few cheap shots at
your expense. Also, whatever you do, refrain from climbing out of the ring on
you're their side, as both team members will then become active and beat you
senseless. Likewise, I encourage you to hurl your opponent out to your team's
side of the ring, as then you will have a considerable advantage.
As for the fighting itself, just follow the same method you use for one-on-
one duels - simple chains of moves, nothing too elaborate - and you will have
no trouble in winning these matches.
_____________________________________________________________________________
04.d - Royal Rumble Matches
_____________________________________________________________________________
The match from which this game borrows it's title, the Royal Rumble is the
toughest challenge you will face while playing it! To win, you must
successfully eliminate all other competitors by ejecting them from the ring.
The match begins with two competitors, and a new competitor is added to the
bout every ten seconds, until all twelve have entered the ring.
There are only two ways to eject a wrestler from the ring:
- An Irish Whip (grapple and mash [Y]) when your back is to the ropes.
- An Atomic Drop (grapple and [L]) when your opponent is closer to the ropes.
Of the two methods, the latter is by far most effective, although the Irish
Whip method will probably be your most commonly used method. Master using
both to ensure that you can tackle any opponent without needing to waste
valuable seconds thinking.
Of course, due to the scale of this match, you are going to need a little
luck in winning a Royal Rumble. Now no FAQ can teach you luck, but here’s a
little help to make winning this tough little cookie that tiny bit more
attainable.
From the start, grab the first opponent you come across and throttle the life
out of him by hammering the [R] key. Not only will this swiftly eat away your
victim’s stamina, but you are also impervious to attacks by other wrestlers.
Once you have knocked him about a bit, chuck him out of the ring and repeat
the process with the nearest guy available. Using this method, you should be
able to claim victory within ten minutes.

_____________________________________________________________________________
06.a - "Cloning" Your Wrestler
_____________________________________________________________________________
At the character select screen, press and hold the [L] button until the "WWF"
logos in the background stop moving completely. Once this occurs, press and
hold the [R] button in tandem with [L] and once the logos stop moving again
select you character. When given the option to select your opponent, press
right once and you will be given the option to choose the same character
again to fight against. Weird, non?
Heh, at least it gives you the chance to resolve an argument if everyone
wants to play as Bret Hart or The Undertaker, as was a common occurrence when
playing with friends. It's also quite a novelty, if you think about it!
_____________________________________________________________________________
06.b - Iron-Fisted Wrestlers
_____________________________________________________________________________
Plug a controller into Port One and hold the [Y] button before turning the
power on. Wait for the copyright screen to load, then once the text begins to
fade press and hold [B] while [Y] is still held. If done correctly, you
should hear a wrestlers voice go "oof!", as if hit in the stomach.
Proceed to load any game mode, and revel in the fact that you can drain 40%
of your opponent's stamina bar in one punch. Try a Royal Rumble in this
state, and you'll realise how devastating this trick can be. You are
virtually unbeatable!
_____________________________________________________________________________
06.c - Glitches
_____________________________________________________________________________
So far I have found only one glitch in this game, and it concerns the Royal
Rumble mode itself. It can cause the game to crash, but it can also cause the
game to create TWELVE copies of the same wrestler to do battle with in the
ring. Okay, so it's hardly The Matrix: Reloaded, but it looks pretty cool
nevertheless.
So how do you do it? Simple! Just start a regular one-on-one bout against the
person you want to fight against, Agent Smith style, then either win the
match or quit to the title screen. Next, go as if to start a Royal Rumble,
but before you get to the character select screen hit [X] or [Y] until you
get back to the main screen. Highlight "REMATCH" and you will hopefully
arrive in the midst of a Rumble with as many as 5 of the same character in
the ring at the same time!
If you spot any more glitches like this, give me a shout via email and I'll
stick it in this section too.

This is the section where I answer questions that I get asked a lot in email
that I receive from readers of this guide. As this is the first version of my
FAQ, there are not any "Bona Fide" questions to write here, so for now I'll
just have to pre-empt you all:
Q: Are there any secret characters in this game?
A: Unfortunately, there are no secrets whatsoever for this game. It sucks,
but the rest of the game is so good that I'll forgive them this once.
Q: How do you knock out the referee?
A: Either run into him, or Irish Whip your opponent into him. Easy!
Q: A magazine/web site/friend/fortune cookie told me that Papa Shango is in
this game, but I cannot find him. Please help!
A: Papa Shango and "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan appeared in the Genesis/Megadrive
version of WWF Royal Rumble, but they were omitted from the SNES version due
to the capacity of the cartridge. Sega's version used an 18 megabit cart,
whereas good old Ninty decided that an 16 megabit cartridge would be
sufficient.
Q: How do I choose what colour costume my character wears?
A: Select them with [A] or [B] to alternate between lighter and darker shades
of their outfit.
Q: When I do that "clone character" glitch, my game crashes. Why is this?
A: It's a glitch, that's why! A "glitch" is an undetected error in the game's
code. Sometime, a glitch can be beneficial, but just as often it can be
crippling, like the infamous "Purple Nine Glitch" on Grand Theft Auto III.
Q: How are you feeling today?
A: Not bad, thanks for asking!
Q: Who's your favourite wrestler?
A: Err, what happened to the "assistance with the game" part of my Contact Me
section. Tsk! Oh, and it's Kurt Angle.
That's all for now!
