JOIN THE WWF SUPERSTARS
Are you ready to face the ultimate test of your wrestling skills? Because
six of the World Wrestling Federation's greatest stars are waiting for you:
powerful Sid Justice, the mysterious Undertaker, Jake "The Snake" Roberts,
The Mountie, "Macho Man" Randy Savage, and the Immortal Hulk Hogan!
Match these formidable athletes in singles or tag team competition, in a
conventional wrestling ring or within the confines of the steel cage!
Throw your opponent through the air and deliver a thundering elbowdrop, or
send him sprawling to the mat with a flying dropkick! But watch out: the
action could get so heated that the match will spill out of the ring into
the arena floor!
You need to think and move quickly, because these WWF SuperStars are
after the same thing you are: victory! And they're willing to use every
skill they have in order to attain it!
Get ready for action that's more than just a wrestling match. Get ready
for WWF SuperStars 2!

After you've pressed the START BUTTON, the computer will ask you whether you
will be competing in a one-player or two-player match. Use the LEFT/RIGHT
CONTROL PAD ARROWS to make your choice, then press any button.
(Note: A two-player match requires each player's Game Boy unit to be equipped
with a WWF SuperStar 2 cartridge, and for thw units to be connected with the
Game Link.)
The computer will then ask you to decide from among three playing modes:
player vs. computer singles match, player vs. computer tag team match, or
player vs. computer tournament competition. Use the LEFT/RIGHT CONTROL PAD
ARROWS to make your choice, then press any button.
You then need to decide between a regular match or a cage match, and choose
one of three skill levels (easy, medium, hard) for your match. Use the LEFT/
RIGHT CONTROL PAD ARROWS to make your choices, then press any button.
(Note: Tag team matches may be contested inside a regulation ring only.)

Finally, you must choose which
one of the six WWF SuperStars
you want to be. To do this, use
the UP/DOWN and LEFT/RIGHT

SCORING THE VICTORY
There are three ways to win a WWF

for a three-second count to win.
(2) By count-out (regulation ring only).
If your opponent is outside the ring and fails
to return to the ring before the 10-count is completed, you win. (3) By
climbing out of the steel cage (see SPECIAL RULES FOR SPECIALTY MATCHES, next
page).
* Page 14
SPECIAL RULES
FOR SPECIALTY MATCHES
In tag team matches, you control the actions of both wrestlers.
(NOTE: One exception to this is when you are playing a two-player vs.
computer match utilizing the Game Link; in that case, each player controls
one member of the tag team battling the computer's team.)
To tag out to your partner, move to the ropes on the side of the ring near
your partner and press the SELECT BUTTON.
In cage matches, you win by either pinning your opponent or by escaping to
the top of the cage while your opponent is down on the mat. Remember, too,
that turnbuckle moves and tag team competition may not take place inside the
steel cage.
In tournament play, you must face and defeat the other five WWF SuperStars
in the game. But pace yourself: the matches get tougher as the tournament
progresses!
* Page 15
SOME STRATEGIES
TO REMEMBER
When you have the advantage over your opponent, don't let up! String your
moves together and don't give him a chance to catch his breath!
Try to keep the action in the center of the ring. Don't let your opponent
corner you, or you may find yourself unable to battle your way back into the
match!
Save your second wind for a point in the match when you absolutely need it.
Don't waste it too early in the contest!
