Notes, characters for N64 No Mercy
By JON WALDMAN -- For SLAM! Wrestling
I'd like to start off by thanking everyone who has
written into me about
my review of WWF No Mercy for the N64. I appreciate all
comments, both good and bad, and any tips you have for the game. Now let's get on to the business at hand: Glitches, unlocking secret wrestlers, and creating new wrestlers.
Glitch Alert
Do not use one wrestler to conquer more than one title
at once. I attempted to use a created wrestler to go
after both the Light Heavyweight and Hardcore belts at
the same time, and my system went blank and I lost my
characters and title information. If you wish to
pursue the belts with one character, finish a belt off
completely before moving onto the next one. I don't
know if this happens if you try the Survival mode, but
I wouldn't risk it if I were you.
Unlocking wrestlers
After several emails on Andre the Giant, I have
narrowed down the fastest ways to unlock the legend as
being such:
1. Matt Brown reported that he unlocked Andre as low
as 75th in survival mode. The highest I heard from
others was the final four and number 101.
2. 'Hawk7602' reported that you could unlock Andre in
the WWF Title mode. 'Peter' confirmed this report,
saying that Andre appears in Chapter 11, entitled
'Lethal Weapon.'
3. James Blair reported that he was able to use Andre
during the Royal Rumble when he set it on 40
wrestlers.
In any event, Andre stands at 7'11" (Laidback03), and
his finisher is the Undertaker's powerbomb, also known
as The Last Ride (Kuljeet Thiara)
Ryan Murphy was kind enough to send in a list of
wrestlers he's been able to unlock: Andre, Ken
Shamrock, Mick Foley, Cactus Jack, Vince McMahon,
Linda McMahon, Shane McMahon, Earl Hebner, Michael
Cole, Jim Ross, Jerry Lawler, Pat Patterson, Gerald
Brisco, Mae Young, Moolah, Shawn Micahaels, and Paul
Bearer. 'GameWizard_1' also told me that you could
unlock Raven by winning the survival mode with Tazz.
I'll mention quickly that I was able to unlock Shane
McMahon at #23 in Survival mode.
Adam Baldwin wrote in, asking if the Headbangers are
unlockable. I would assume so, since their pictures
available in the CAW section. I would assume they
would be unlocked in the tag team mode. Anyone
unlocked the 'Bangers? Let me know. Also, if anyone
has been able to unlock any other characters, please
let me know.
Create-a-Wrestler
Here comes the fun part. As much fun as the WWF roster
is, we all like to make wrestlers as much as anything
else. Send me your creations, along with an image if
possible, and we'll post them.
We've got two this week. One, done by yours truly, of
Raven, and the other, courtesy of Ryan May, of Hulk
Hogan.

One other creation note, Lindsay Cameron wrote in,
saying she put the Phantom Mask (available in the
Smackdown Mall) on The Godfather to make him Papa
Shango. The masks in the game will be helpful in
making a lot of face-painted and masked wrestlers,
namely Sting and the Ultimate Warrior. I'll have those
creations for you next week.
I goofed
Several readers pointed out my error on my point
about Lita's Hurcanrana. The move is available in the
game as a special turnbuckle manoeuvre.
Survey
A quick little survey I want to send out to
everyone: what is the toughest match to win? My choice
goes to the submission match (I Quit match) during the
championship mode. It took me a HALF HOUR to finally
get Ken Shamrock to tap out. Let me know what you
think.
NO MERCY NOTES? Email them to Jon Waldman, and we'll post 'em on the site at a later date.
