Battle Royale is a fighting game that presents last-man-standing type battles between up to five wrestlers. The game features three difficulty settings, five wrestlers to choose from, and two game modes. For single players only is the tournament mode, featuring 15 possible consecutive battles, beginning with one-on-ones and continuing up to a full five-man match.
The matches take place in a side view of the ring. Players can use A or B buttons for kicks and punches and the Select button for an extra powerful attack. The goal is to toss opponents out of the ring and remain the last man standing. Before each match, wrestlers' managers will fight on their way to select their favorite fighter - temporarily knocking them out is encouraged.
