Mania Challenge
Mania Challenge is the sequel to the wrestling game Mat Mania. The gameplay
and features (including the moves of the wrestlers, except for the addition of
a drop kick) are completely identical. The most important addition is a versus
mode against another human players. The unnamed wrestler protagonist from the
original version is now called Dynamite Tommy. In the versus mode he only can
fight a clone character with identical moves known as Hurricane Joe.
In the single-player mode the roster from the original game has been made
smaller. Dynamite Tommy has to fight Insane Warrior, Golden Hulk and Hurricane
Joe (except when continuing a two-player game in single-player as Joe, then
Tommy is an opponent). The three other wrestlers Karate Fighter, Coco Savage
and The Pirania are no longer available as opponents. After completing the
game all three of them can be fought again in an endless loop.
The later released Atari 7800 version has some differences in the graphics and
includes different difficulty levels for the single-player mode.
