Summary
WWF WrestleMania 2000 on the Game Boy Color lets you step into a side‑view ring that scrolls in all four directions, letting you unleash body slams and flying elbows with just two buttons. The roster packs a solid slice of the Attitude Era, featuring Steve Austin, The Rock, Triple‑H, The Undertaker, Kane, and even Vince McMahon among the 16 selectable superstars.
Beyond a simple one‑on‑one bout, the game offers a Career mode where you chase the WWF championship, a Tag Team mode for two‑versus‑two action, a Survivor Series challenge that pits two teams of three against each other, a Gauntlet that pits you against every wrestler in succession, and a Training mode that lets you practice without retaliation.
A link cable connects two handhelds for normal or cage matches, while the control scheme uses context‑sensitive button presses and directional inputs to vary grapples. Each wrestler has a unique finishing move that can be triggered by pressing Select during a grapple, but only when their personal bio‑rhythm peaks, adding a timing element to the showdown.
The game arrived four months before the actual WrestleMania 2000 event, borrowing the WrestleMania XV stage design, and it was THQ’s first WWF title after the company split from Acclaim. A quirky TV spot showed The Rock angrily threatening Santa’s “candy‑ass,” and some copies shipped with hologram cards of in‑game action. Despite mixed reviews, the handheld sold over a million units by January 2000.
Storyline
In WWF WrestleMania 2000 for the Game Boy Color, the Championship mode serves as the core story. It guides the player’s wrestler through a succession of matches for the WWF title, punctuated by TV‑style cutscenes between bouts.
