In the Intercontinental Championship mode, the player must win four one-on-one matches, two Handicap 2-on-1 matches, and one Handicap 3-on-1 match to win the title. WWF WrestleMania features two single-player modes: the Intercontinental Championship and the WWF Championship. Such 'bleeding' objects include dumbbells flying out of Lex Luger and valentine hearts coming out of Bret Hart. A unique feature is that each character can 'bleed' an object that represents them. WrestleMania's one-player mode has the player choose one of eight wrestlers – Bret Hart, The Undertaker, Shawn Michaels, Razor Ramon, Bam Bam Bigelow, Yokozuna, Doink the Clown, and Lex Luger. There are other similarities to the Mortal Kombat games, such as uppercuts that cause the opponent to go sky high, flawless victories and very tongue-in-cheek character animations. While actual wrestling moves are present, matches consist primarily of strike attacks and special moves.

Examples include Doink the Clown pulling out a mallet out of thin air, Razor Ramon's arm transforming into a blade, or Bam Bam Bigelow's fists catching on fire.
