Super Fire Pro Wrestling Special is one of those SNES wrestling games that sticks with you—not just for the solid grappling mechanics (which are way deeper than they look), but because of its wild, borderline surreal story mode. It’s got that signature Fire Pro gameplay—timing-based counters, weighty movement—but the real hook is the bizarre, almost cinematic career mode written by Goichi Suda (yeah, that Suda). One minute you’re in a standard wrestling match, the next you’re wrapped up in some weird backstage drama that feels like a fever dream. Definitely not your typical sports sim.

If you’re into wrestling games with personality—or just want to see where Suda51’s storytelling roots began—this one’s a trip.
