Gameplay

The game has two modes, Exhibition mode and Royal Rumble mode. In Exhibition mode, the player chooses a partner and wrestles a series of singles matches. The player's selected partner can interfere on the player's behalf on command. These partner moves can be used any number of times during the match, but must be recharged before they can be used again. Matches can end by knockout if a wrestler's energy meter is completely depleted. ^[3] Royal Rumble mode involves the player eliminating a certain number of wrestlers from the match within a time limit. ^[3]

Special moves can be executed by charging up a meter and storing "S" icons. ^[3]
