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.

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. _____________________________________________________________________________ ____ __ _______ =\ \ \ / \ / _____/======================================================= \ \ \/ /\ \/ /____ -------------- \ \ / \ / ___/ CONTROLS \ \/ /\ \/ / -------------- =====\__/ \__/================================================( SECTION 03 ) _____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________ 03.a - Standard Moves _____________________________________________________________________________ In WWF Royal Rumble, all characters have the same set of base moves.

Here is how to perform each character's specialist signature move.

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. _____________________________________________________________________________ ____ __ _______ =\ \ \ / \ / _____/======================================================= \ \ \/ /\ \/ /____ ------------------- \ \ / \ / ___/ WRESTLER INFO \ \/ /\ \/ / ------------------- =====\__/ \__/================================================( SECTION 05 ) _____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________ 05.a - Randy Savage _____________________________________________________________________________ Nickname: "Macho Man" Name: Randy Savage From: Sarasota, Florida Height: 6'2" Weight: 244lbs Signature: Flying Elbow Drop _____________________________________________________________________________ 05.b - Mr. Perfect _____________________________________________________________________________ Nickname: "Mr. Perfect" Name: Curt Hennig From: Rochester, Minnesota Height: 6'4" Weight: 245lbs Signature: The Perfect 'Plex _____________________________________________________________________________ 05.c - The Undertaker _____________________________________________________________________________ Nickname: "The Undertaker" Name: Mark Callaway From: Death Valley Height: 6'10 1/2" Weight: 327lbs Signature: Tombstone Piledriver _____________________________________________________________________________ 05.d - Bret Hart _____________________________________________________________________________ Nickname: "Hitman" Name: Bret Hart From: Calgary, Alberta Height: 6'0" Weight: 234lbs Finisher: Sharpshooter _____________________________________________________________________________ 05.e - Tatanka _____________________________________________________________________________ Nickname: "Tatanka" Name: Chris Chavis From: Pembroke, North Carolina Height: 5'11" Weight: 244lbs Finisher: Reverse Slam _____________________________________________________________________________ 05.f - Crush _____________________________________________________________________________ Nickname: "Crush" Name: Bryan Adams From: Kona Coast, Hawaii Height: 6'7" Weight: 314lbs Finisher: Cranium Crush _____________________________________________________________________________ 05.g - Ric Flair _____________________________________________________________________________ Nickname: "Nature Boy" Name: Ric Flair From: Charlotte, North Carolina Height: 5'11" Weight: 239lbs Finisher: Figure 4 Leg Lock _____________________________________________________________________________ 05.h - Shawn Michaels _____________________________________________________________________________ Nickname: "The Heartbreak Kid" Name: Shawn Michaels From: San Antonio, Texas Height: 6'0" Weight: 234lbs Finisher: Back Suplex _____________________________________________________________________________ 05.i - Razor Ramon _____________________________________________________________________________ Nickname: "Razor Ramon" Name: Scott Hall From: Miami, Florida Height: 6'5" Weight: 286lbs Finisher: The Razor's Edge _____________________________________________________________________________ 05.j - Yokozuna _____________________________________________________________________________ Nickname: "Yokozuna" Name: Rodney Anoai From: Polynesia Height: 6'4" Weight: 404lbs Finisher: Banzai Drop _____________________________________________________________________________ 05.k - The Narcissist _____________________________________________________________________________ Nickname: "The Narcissist" Name: Lex Luger From: Atlanta, Georgia Height: 6'5" Weight: 254lbs Finisher: Running Forearm _____________________________________________________________________________ 05.l - Ted Dibiase _____________________________________________________________________________ Nickname: "The Million Dollar Man" Name: Ted Dibiase From: Seasonal Residence Height: 6'3" Weight: 245lbs Finisher: The Million Dollar Dream _____________________________________________________________________________ ____ __ _______ =\ \ \==/ \==/ _____/======================================================= \ \ \/ /\ \/ /____ ---------------------- \ \ / \ / ___/ CHEATS & SECRETS \ \/ /\ \/ / ---------------------- =====\__/ \__/================================================( SECTION 06 ) _____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________ 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. _____________________________________________________________________________ ____ __ _______ =\ \ \ / \ / _____/======================================================= \ \ \/ /\ \/ /____ -------------------------------- \ \ / \ / ___/ FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS \ \/ /\ \/ / -------------------------------- =====\__/ \__/================================================( SECTION 06 ) _____________________________________________________________________________ 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! _____________________________________________________________________________ ____ __ _______ =\ \ \ / \ / _____/======================================================= \ \ \/ /\ \/ /____ ------------- \ \ / \ / ___/ CREDITS \ \/ /\ \/ / ------------- =====\__/ \__/================================================( SECTION 07 ) _____________________________________________________________________________ This FAQ is dedicated to David "ZoopSoul" McCutcheon, another writer on GameFAQs.com and IGN who has been a true friend and provided me with much- needed support and advice throughout my time as a writer.
