!! ''[=WWF WrestleMania=]: The Arcade Game'' provides examples of the following tropes:
* ButtonMashing: For recovering from a run into the ropes or being slammed.
* ComebackMechanic: If a wrestler is pinned and has a full super bar, they can kick out for Second Wind, continuing the match one strike away from falling.
* CriticalHit: High risk attacks hit harder, as well as first attacks.
* DigitizedSprites: Every wrestler was digitized in a fashion similar to ''MK''.
* FightingClown: Literally in Doink the Clown.
* HandBlast: Yes, projectiles are present. The Undertaker in particular has a couple variants.
* LauncherMove: Uppercuts in this game function similarly to ''MK''. That is to say, your opponent will go flying.
* MirrorMatch: Commonplace, given the small roster.
* MundaneMadeAwesome: While the WWE is known for having a flair for the dramatic, this game cranks it UpToEleven in terms of the moves, making even the lightest punches seem like a major attack.
* OneHitPointWonder: Wrestlers can attain a Second Wind when downed with a full super meter. If they activate second wind, they get back up one chip away from being knocked out. There is no third wind.
* PartialTransformation: Certain attacks will morph the limbs in use into various objects, like hammers or chainsaws.
* ThreeRoundDeathmatch: Best two out of three falls wins the match, much like a traditional fighting game.
* UpToEleven: Everything in-match is over-exemplified and over-the-top. ''Everything.''
