WWF Royal Rumble is a Super NES and Sega Genesis game based on the World Wrestling Federation, released in 1993.

After choosing One-on-One, Tag Team, or 6-Man Tag Team, you must choose One Fall, Brawl, or Tournament stipulation. One Fall features an in-ring referee. It uses the basic method of 3-count pinfalls and count-outs, should a player stay outside of the ring for 10 seconds. In a Brawl, however, the referee is absent. This allows unlimited time outside the ring and the no-holds-barred rule. Cheat moves such as eye raking and choking are allowed at all times. The Brawl match doesn't require a pinfall win; instead, the first player to be entirely drained of energy "submits" in defeat. In a Tournament, a player must battle through the entire roster to win the championship belt. This follows the One Fall rules and is playable through One-on-One and Tag Team.

A One-on-One match is exactly as it sounds. In the most conventional match type, one wrestler will take on one opponent (a friend or the computer) for a face-to-face bout.

A Tag Team match is made up of two teams of two wrestlers. Whenever one wrestler gets tired, they can tag in their partner (for SNES, using A or B to tag in a partner). Before a Tag Team match starts, you will choose a wrestler, then the computer or the second player will choose a wrestler. After that, the player will choose his partner, and the computer or second player will do the same. The same formula applies for the 6-Man Tag Team match, only with an extra wrestler on both teams.

The Royal Rumble begins with two wrestlers, and more adversaries enter as wrestlers are eliminated. Elimination is caused by throwing an opponent over the top rope to the outside or the ring. To do so, one must drain their opponent's energy bar and with their back against the ropes, grapple the tired opponent and Irish whip them toward the ropes. One can also eliminate his someone when the opponent's back is against the rope by doing an atomic drop over the top rope. At the end of a Royal Rumble, score rankings are shown giving a wrestler's total time in the ring along with their number of opponents eliminated.

The game presents crisp and colorful graphics quite similar to its predecessor; however, it boasts more new features. Players may strike their opponent with steel chairs found outside the ring, and after knocking the referee temporarily unconscious, one may use cheat tactics such as choking and eye raking. To better avoid losing via count out, wrestlers may also roll into the ring from the south side; ring entry was previously only possible through the left and right sides.

Aside from adding more moves to the basic moveset, including the body splash and atomic drop, WWF Royal Rumble enables players to perform signature moves for some of the individual wrestlers, including Undertaker's Tombstone Piledriver and Mr. Perfect's Perfect-Plex. Oddly enough, while wrestlers like Bret Hart and Ric Flair use submission hold signatures, the game doesn't include a submission or "tap out" feature. Other than the Brawl match, victory must still be obtained by pinfall or count-out.

The game also features neat cheat tactics (for SNES version) such as the ability to choose the same wrestler twice (not available in the Royal Rumble match, however) and 2-punch knockout (similar to the game's sequel, WWF Raw, where the opponent's energy meter will be completely drained after only two punches. To select the same wrestler twice, when on the wrestler's profile in the wrestler selection screen, press L, R, L, select. It will automatically choose that wrestler, when you move to the right afterward, you'll be able to choose the same wrestler again! For the 2-punch knockout cheat, it must be done during the copyright, text screen when first turning on the game. When the black and white text screen appears, wait 2 or 3 seconds, and repeatedly press the Y & B buttons simultaneously. The cheat will be activated when a grunt is heard.

For Hulk Hogan: To meet Wikipedias quality standards and to make a clear distinction between fact and fiction, this article may require cleanup. ...

One notable disadvantage faced by IRS, the Narcissist, Hulk Hogan and Jim Duggan in the Royal Rumble match is that since their finishers require them to run, there is a possibility of their being thrown out of the ring(eliminated) by other wrestlers while doing so. Also, Randy Savage is in danger of being knocked off the top turnbuckle(and therefore being eliminated) while attempting to execute the Flying Elbow Smash.
