WWF King of the Ring is a wrestling game that uses the World Wrestling Federation license. Each wrestler possesses personal attributes in three categories: strength, speed, and stamina. The wrestlers share the same set of moves, consisting of punches, kicks, body slam, throw, dropkick, suplex, stomps, elbow drops, and a move off the turnbuckle. There are no signature moves unique to each wrestler. There are eleven wrestlers in total: Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage, Lex Luger, Yokozuna, Razor Ramon, Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, Mr. Perfect, Bam Bam Bigelow, The Undertaker (the last two are absent from the GameBoy version), and a wrestler the player can create with custom attributes. The game features one-on-one matches, championship matches, tag team matches, and the King of the Ring tournament.

How to Play
King of the Ring Tournament
The King of the Ring tournament is a grueling test of skill and savvy for eight World Wrestling Federation Superstars. It's a brutal, no-time-out, single elimination tournament.
You can play as one of eight sensational Superstars, including Macho Man Randy Savage, Bret "Hit Man" Hart, Hulk Hogan, Lex Luger, Razor Ramon, and Yokozuna. You can also create your own Superstar.
Warm up with one-on-one or tag team matches, then step up to the greatest challenge: the King of the Ring tournament.
Preparing to Enter the Squared Circle
For a 1 player game
•
Make sure the Nintendo Game Boy power switch is OFF.
•
Insert the World Wrestling Federation King of the Ring Game Pak as described in your Game Boy instruction manual.
•
Turn the power switch ON. When you see the World Wrestling Federation King of the Ring logo appear on the screen, press the START BUTTON.
For a 2 player game
•
Connect two Game Boy units together with the Game Link.
•
Insert a World Wrestling Federation King of the Ring Game Pak into each unit.
•
Turn on both power switches simultaneously. When you see the World Wrestling Federation King of the Ring logo appear on the screen, whoever presses the B Button first is player one and will set the options.
Before You Step Through the Ropes
After the title screen, the computer will ask you to set game options. Use the UP and DOWN Control Pad ARROWS to highlight your selection and press the A or B BUTTON to make your choice.
•

Match Types
One-on-One Match
A one-on-one match is a one-fall match between two wrestlers. The first wrestler to pin their opponent for a three-count wins. Wrestlers must be worn down before they can be pinned.
Tag Team Match
A tag team match pits teams of two wrestlers against each other. The rules are similar to a One-on-One match, but a wrestler can tag their teammate to replace them in the ring by pressing the SELECT BUTTON.
Tournament Mode
Tournament mode puts your wrestler in a battle for the World Wrestling Federation Championship Belt. Seven challengers stand in your way. Each tournament match is a one-on-one, one-fall bout. Defeat each opponent to become World Champion.
King of the Ring Tournament
The King of the Ring tournament is an eight-man single elimination tournament. Each match is a one-fall bout, and only the winner continues. Wrestlers are seeded in two brackets around the top two contenders.
They must fight through the quarter-finals, semi-finals, and then the finals. The winner is rewarded with the World Wrestling Federation crown, and the loser goes home empty-handed.
Note
If Tournament or King of the Ring is selected in two-player mode, player one will compete, and player two can observe. Both players cannot compete in the same tournament.
Choosing Your Wrestler
Once you've chosen your options, press the START BUTTON. You can then choose your wrestler from eight powerful World Wrestling Federation Superstars, or customize your own.
Use the LEFT and RIGHT CONTROL PAD ARROWS to scroll through the wrestlers, then press the A or B BUTTON to select him. To customize your own wrestler, select the wrestler labeled "you."
Customizing Your Own Wrestler
To create a custom World Wrestling Federation wrestler, first name him. Use the LEFT and RIGHT ARROWS to move the cursor to the appropriate letter and the UP and DOWN CONTROL PAD ARROWS to change it.
When the name is correct, pressing the A BUTTON will lock it in and allow you to move to the next stage of customization.
Each World Wrestling Federation wrestler has specific attributes like strength, speed, and stamina. When customizing your wrestler, you are given a specific number of points to divide among these attributes.
Use the UP and DOWN CONTROL PAD ARROWS to choose the attribute you want to adjust. Use the LEFT and RIGHT CONTROL PAD ARROWS to increase and decrease the value for that category. Point values for other categories will change proportionally. When your wrestler is complete, press the START BUTTON.
Note
After winning a tournament match, you will be given additional points in any category you choose!
