Undertaker Fatality // WWF Wrestlemania Arcade (1995)
22WWF WrestleMania: The Arcade Game! This 1995 release had a very different feel from the typical wrestling games, blending elements of wrestling with fighting game mechanics similar to Mortal Kombat.
In this game, each wrestler had exaggerated moves and "over-the-top" finishing moves that felt like fatalities in a more cartoonish way.
The Undertaker's "Fatality" Move:
The Undertaker had a unique move in this arcade game where he would summon tombstones and smash his opponent with them. This move gave off the supernatural vibe that The Undertaker was famous for in the WWF. It wasnβt a literal fatality in the sense of blood and gore like in Mortal Kombat, but in the world of WWF WrestleMania: The Arcade Game, it felt like a devastating and final blow, much like a wrestling-themed fatality.
Here are a few standout features of his character in the game:
He could throw ghostly spirits at opponents.
He had phantom-like attacks that enhanced his supernatural persona.
His "finisher" involved smashing a series of tombstones over his opponent, which was the closest thing to a "fatality."
The game embraced a highly exaggerated, arcade-style feel, and The Undertaker's persona as "The Deadman" made him one of the most memorable characters with these finishing moves, even though they weren't true fatalities like in other arcade fighting games.
