during this sequence will allow you to start the game. You will now be able to

Spectrum/Amstrad and PC will also allow you to adjust the control method.
PRACTICE MODE
The practice mode allows two players to compete in a head to head contest.
Player One can select from any of the three challengers, and Player Two is
always Mr. Perfect*. On completion of the practice bout, you can play it again,
or return to the title sequence.
COMPETE OPTION
When you select the compete option, you can choose to play one of the three
challengers. Pressing left or right will move on to another challenger.
Pressing fire will select the currently displayed challenger. You can choose to
compete as one of the following three wrestlers:
Hulk Hogan** - Legdrop off the Ropes
Ultimate Warrior* - Gorilla Press
British Bulldog* - Running Power Slam
In order to win the WrestleMania* Belt, you must beat five of the toughest and
meanest wrestlers in the WWF. These opponents each have their own special moves
and their own style of fighting. You will face these wrestlers in the following
order:
Mr. Perfect* - Perfect Plex
The Warlord* - Full Nelson
Million Dollar Man* - Million Dollar Man Sleeper Hold
The Mountie* - Drop Headlock
Sgt. Slaughter* - Camel Clutch
At the start of the game you have 4 credits. Every time you lose a match, or
you are forced to end your challenge attempt, an option screen will appear
allowing you to replay the last match by using a credit. Once all your credits
are used, the game will automatically go back to the opening sequence.
Before the start of each bout, your opponent wrestler will have a chance to say
what he thinks about you. You will then be given the right to reply. You can
select your reply by moving the control left or right. Once you have chosen
your reply, pressing the fire button will select it. Your opponent will then be
allowed to reply to your comments. Then it's time to go on!
MATCH RULES
Each bout will last a maximum of five minutes. During which time the match can
be won by pinning the opposing wrestler to the canvas for a count of three
seconds. If there is not an outright victor by the end of the five minutes,
then the match will be declared a draw, and your challenge for the
Wrestlemania* Belt is over.
If any competitor is forced out of the ring, a twenty second clock is started.
This clock will reset once both wrestlers are back in the ring. Should any
competitor remain out of the ring long enough for this clock to reach twenty,
then the match is declared void, and your challenge for the Wrestlemania* Belt
is over.
GAME RULES
Each wrestler has a strength indicator at the bottom of the screen (either side
of the screen on the C64 version). This strength level will determine how
quickly the wrestler can recover from being knocked on the floor, or how
quickly he can throw off someone who is pinning him. Your strength is depleted
when you are hit or kicked, or when you are thrown to the ground.
As you can play the game, two different icons will appear on screen, indicating
what action you should take.
Fire Button Icon
This icon will appear when your wrestler is on the ground. Pressing the fire
button rapidly will make your wrestler get to his feet, but if your wrestler is
weak then this may take a few seconds.
Joystick Icon
This icon will appear when you are grappling with your opponent. Moving the
joystick rapidly from side to side will build up your grapple strength. This is
shown by a growing bar at the side of the grapple icon. The first wrestler to
make their bar reach maximum height wins the grapple. The winner of the grapple
then executes his special move on the other wrestler.
CONTROLS
The wrestlers are controlled by joystick on the ST, Amiga, PC, Commodore 64,
and by joystick or keyboard on the PC, Spectrum and Amstrad. For 2 player mode
on Spectrum +2 or +3, a Kempston or Sinclair interface is required to play with
2 joysticks.
