SECRET STUFF:
Ok, This glorious game also Has Secrets (Thanks to Zhang Xue-Long
For noticing this first.)
If you play through the 1 player game, and beat 5 wrestlers, you
will then face a champion. Once you beat that Champion, go into Vs.
mode and on the wrestler you beat it with you will see a little Belt
on his Picture screen. ALSO look at the bottom of the screen and you
should see a red arrow pointing down. Go down from that arrow and
you will get to play that Champion that you beat. This works for all
6 divisions. (EWF,IAWA, Etc.) For a total of 58 Wrestlers.
Like we needed more, :)
Also if you beat a division with the same wrestler you already
beat it with you will now see 2 little belts on his picture screen.
Also after you select the characters that now have little belts next
to them for a one player game. When it asks which mode you want to
play(EWF,IAWA,DAW,ETC.) It\'ll tell you which ones you already took
that wrestler through,so you know what the little belt you have is for.
Also if you get the extra characters using controller#1, when you
select that character with controller#2 he\'ll still have his big belt.
And if you get him with controller#2 then the opposite is true.
I think you can only select the extra wrestlers in a versus game
(either 2p or com).
After you beat all the divisions and get all the little belts, there
will be a new division called \"Super Jr.\"(with a new ring and music:)
After you beat this you\'ll get another character(with a cool tiger
mask:) )and you\'ll no longer have the little belt you\'ll have the big
belt:) Also they show the end credits&pictures. The new character
appears above character#1. This leaves an obvious spot above character
#41 for another extra wrestler. (60 Wrestlers WOW!)
Also on the start menu when picking game#2 (where the computer
randomly choose 7 characters for you to fight) when you beat this
game they ask you to input 3 things(I put my name twice and then
the date).It will save it.This goes up on a \"chart\". The \"chart\"
is then accessed in the option screen under the load/save options.
To get 60th(!!!!) wrestler:
You must first go through and beat the SuperJr division(to get 59th
wrestler). Then just go through with another wrestler(I used someone
from a different division as the first time I went through).Then
instead of getting the SuperJr division you\'ll get SuperHeavy division.
Beat this and you\'ll get the biggest(and ugliest)wrestler of them
all... Andre\' the Giant!!!(Thank you Zhang Xue-Long)
Extra Info:
For the 59th and 60th character, the extra division you get depends
on the weight of your wrestler!
I used hulk Hogan to get all 6 belts first, and I got the super heavy
division! then I used Hayabusa, and got super jr.... I get the
feeling there may be more...think about it, why is one able to win all
belts with all characters??? strange...
I have figured out what that chart is....well....it is the created
belt you get...and you can make your own federation...well....sort of,
First thing you enter in is the belt title name, the second is the
federation name, and the last is the date, you can fight other players
for thier belts, and it will copy it to the other card if they win and
vice versa...
