While not the preferred choice for many 16-bit Wrestling fans, SFPWS offered bigger sprites, improved BGM, new Wrestlers,
voice clips and even a tutorial mode with Ittetsu Wakamoto (Kotetsu Yamamoto).
Today, I'll share all of the character endings, unlockables and Easter eggs from the game.
Victory Musashi (Antonio Inoki) and Great Shiba (Giant Baba).
The ending of the first playthrough where the player(s) are confronted by Tiger Jeet Singh.
The second ending features the player(s) celebrating backstage in traditional Puroresu fashion.
Super Fire Pro-Wrestling would mark the debut of Giant Baba in a Fire Pro game. A move that
got HUMAN Entertainment in trouble with Motoko Baba (Giant Baba's wife) who sent a cease
and desist to HUMAN for Baba's unofficial inclusion in a Fire Pro title.
Around the same time, All Japan Pro-Wrestling were trying to sell their own video games on
the Super Famicom.
Crusher Hatamoto (Shinya Hashimoto) and Hurricane Rikimaru (Riki Choshu)
Mitsuhide Hikawa (Mitsuharu Misawa) and Tommy Bomber (Jumbo Tsuruta)
Super Kaizer (Jushin Thunder Liger) and Phantom Guy (Pegasus Kid)
Jo Kajiwara (Yoshiaki Fujiwara) and Makoto Higaki (Masakatsu Funaki)
Mad Tiger (Tiger Jeet Singh) and Bloody Allen (Bad News Brown)
Blade Musha (Great Muta) and Astro Blaster (The Ultimate Warrior)
Akira Saeha (Akira Maeda) and Hitman Sabre (Big Van Vader)
Thunder Ryu (Genichiro Tenryu) and Ax Duggan (Hulk Hogan)
Iron Blaster (Animal) and Knight Blaster (Hawk)
B.G. Bull (Bruiser Brody) and Star Bison (Stan Hansen).
Bruiser Brody is a hidden boss character that can only be unlocked with a specific code. B.G. Bull and Star
Bison serve as the final opponents in World Championship mode's second playthrough under the tag team division.
Two more hidden characters: Ittetsu Wakamoto (Kotetsu Yamamoto) and Rikiouzan (Rikidozan).
Rikiouzan is the final boss of World Championship mode's singles division (second playthrough), while
Ittetsu is featured as a dojo instructor in Super Fire Pro-Wrestling Special's tutorial mode.
Both characters also require a code to unlock.
As for easter eggs:
By default, when completing the first playthrough of World Championship mode, the player(s) will be
greeted with an animation of Mad Tiger (Tiger Jeet Singh) who will enter the ring and scorch the player(s)
with a flame attack.
However, Tiger isn't the only heel that can be encountered.
Completing World Championship mode with Mad Tiger will present a special sequence where the player(s) are
ambushed by Blade Musha (Great Muta).
Winning the first playthrough of World Championship mode with both Mad Tiger and Blade Musha will
provide yet another ambushing sequence. This time the players will be attacked by Bloody Allen (Bad
News Brown).
Entering the Password CHACHA will unlock the hidden referee long time HUMAN Entertainment staff member Chachamaru.
Chacha even had his own video game series! Pictured above is Chachamaru Boukeni 3 Abys no Tou (literal translation
Chachamaru Adventure 3: Tower of the Abyss) which is known in Japan as 茶々丸冒険記3 アビスの塔
Entering the password WOMAN unlocks a female referee.
I always thought WOMAN was meant to represent FMW star Megumi Kudo.
To play as the hidden boss characters B.G. Bull (Bruiser Brody), Ittetsu Wakamoto (Kotetsu
Yamamoto), and Rikiouzan (Rikidozan), on the mode selection screen, set the cursor on any
mode except for PASSWORD or OPTION mode. While holding the L button, press A.
A screen prompt will then appear. Press Y to cancel.
If done correctly, the hidden boss characters will now be selectable in any mode except for
tutorial.
