Play Mat Mania Online

Game Overview

Mat Mania is one of those old-school arcade wrestling games that somehow makes getting body-slammed look fun. You pick your wrestler—I always go for the guy with the red boots—and then it's straight into the ring with chunky pixelated crowds cheering. The controls are simple (grab, punch, jump), but timing a suplex just right feels weirdly satisfying.

What I love is how over-the-top it is—your wrestler does these ridiculous flips when knocked down, and the referee counts pins like he's in slow motion. It's not deep, but for a five-minute burst of nostalgia, it’s hard to beat. Just don’t expect to walk away without humming that tinny victory music.
