From a standing position, only punches, kicks and running body attacks (running into the opponent) can be performed. Once the opponent is on the ground, the player has the options of performing a grappling move by holding button one, whipping the opponent into the ropes or going for the pin by pressing button two. Grappling moves vary from ground attacks like knee drops to pinning/submission holds like the Boston crab or German suplex. Additional moves can be done by pressing button one or button two while the opponent is running towards the wrestler after having been whipped into the ropes.

Each wrestler has an energy bar, which is replenished by standing on the apron. When the wrestler is low on energy, the energy bar turns red, indicating that he is vulnerable to a pin or submission. Pins or submissions that are unsuccessful result in the wrestler performing the pin or submission to be flat on his back. Two of the teams can also use aerial moves. The two teams that can't use aerial manuevers cab instead go outside the ring and grab a steel chair to hit the opponent with to cause maximum damage. There are barriers outside of the ring that do damage if the player runs into them.


A two player mode is also available, but there are restrictions on the match ups players can choose.


Features

The game was also one of the first games to feature usable weapons as part of the gameplay. The steel chair can be picked up and used by two of the teams and collected for points by the two other teams. This hints at a basic face/heel system, where only the heel (bad guy) teams can use weapons. The "face" teams can't fight each other in the two player mode and neither can the "heel" teams. This is a precursor to the face/heel systems in place in such games as the WWE SmackDown! titles and Rumble Roses. Wrestlers have heel/face style entrances with theme music as well. WWE SmackDown! (formerly WWF SmackDown!) is a series of professional wrestling video games released by THQ. The franchise takes its name from World Wrestling Entertainments weekly Friday night (previously Thursday night) TV show of the same name. ...

The game also features referee who counts pins with an audible voice, a feature seen infrequently even in some sixth generation wrestling games. The sixth-generation era (sometimes inaccurately referred to as the 128-bit era; see section below) refers to the computer and video games, video game consoles, and video game handhelds available at the turn of the 21st century. ...


Japanese version

The Japanese version, Gokuaku Doumei Dump Matsumoto is directly based off of a Sega System 16 arcade game Dump Matsumoto (also known as Body Slam), which was featured the real-life Japanese professional wrestler of the same name. Despite featuring female professional wrestlers exclusively , gameplay is almost the same, with some moves and move names being different. Instead of just a steel chair, there are a variety of weapons for use - including the ring bell. The title screen, a few graphics and some music were altered as well. The Sega System 16 is an arcade system board released by Sega in 1985. ... Centipede by Atari is a typical example of a 1980s era arcade game. ...


The teams are also different - there are two teams, "Gokuaku" and "Freshgals" (the latter apparently representing Dump's rival tag team the Crush Girls) and each apparently has a different version. The restrictions on the match ups in the North American version may be a holdover from the Japanese title - the teams that can't face each other in two player mode in the North American version apparently correspond to different versions of the same team in the Japanese version.
