Gameplay
Gameplay
Players control a rikishi as he battles numerous other wrestlers with quirky personalities in order to become a Yokozuna. Players attack the computer-controlled enemy wrestler by hitting them, with the aim of pushing him out of the dohyo; to achieve this, players can grab the enemy to push or throw them out of the dohyo. This requires a meter to be filled by quickly pressing the action button, which when full for a period of time will guarantee success in using the move. A kiai system allows the meter to be filled much easier and requiring less intensive button presses for a short period of time; it can be refilled by attacking opponents.
