About Tag Team Match: M.U.S.C.L.E.

M.U.S.C.L.E. is a Nintendo Entertainment System title from the wrestling genre, directly adapted from a popular 1980s toy line. Its full name, Millions of Unusual Small Creatures Lurking Everywhere, references the game's cast of characters.

Players can select from a roster of eight distinct wrestlers. Matches support both a single-player tournament mode and a two-player versus option. The tournament structure is built around tag-team bouts.

Gameplay involves a unique power-up system where a special pellet appears randomly in the ring. Securing this item enables the currently controlled wrestler to execute their one signature maneuver.
