Saturday Night Slam Masters (SNES)

A console port of the arcade wrestling game of the same name, best known for featuring Mike Haggar as a playable wrestler. Notably, this and the Genesis port feature redrawn art for the attract sequence and in-game portraits in order to more closely resemble Tetsuo Hara (of Fist of the North Star fame)'s promotional art for the series.

Unused Text#

Grater's second loop ending (if you didn't use continues, that is) abruptly cuts off the text. There is a line afterward, inside the ROM.

Hold on there Ol'hoss, I ain't
never wrestled a dry Piece of
Beef Jerky before!

I can't grind ya so
I's gotta chew ya apart!

Regional Differences#

Title Screen#

Muscle Bomber	Saturday Night Slam Masters (US)	Saturday Night Slam Masters (Europe)

A few portions of the game received a facelift to accommodate for the name change. The main logo during the boot sequence was redrawn in Saturday Night Slam Masters, and also had some palette changes, too.

Muscle Bomber	Saturday Night Slam Masters

Victor Ortega on the title screen stays there after the logo appears, complete with lightning effects in the back. This was removed in Saturday Night Slam Masters.

Error Messages#

Region Error#

Attempting to play the American version on a PAL console throws up the above error message on boot. Like most Capcom games with region lockout-based errors, it will eventually fade out and the game will start as normal. This region lockout check is not present in the Japanese and European versions, and they will load the game normally if loaded on a European or North American/Japanese console, respectively.

Multiplayer Adapter Error#

Muscle Bomber	Saturday Night Slam Masters

If the game detects a multiplayer adapter connected to controller port 1, it throws the above error message, complete with Mike Haggar posing and his signature/autograph after the message finishes printing. Muscle Bomber includes a header on the error message and is written with a more personalized tone, as opposed to the formal and dry tone of the English message. Hover for translation.

Bad Controller Error#

Muscle Bomber	Saturday Night Slam Masters

Same changes made as above. This error appears if the game detects anything but a standard controller or multiplayer adapter connected to any of the controller ports.
