Following ports for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] and [[Sega Genesis|Mega Drive]], an [[Updated Rerelease]] titled ''Muscle Bomber Duo'' was released in arcades, focusing on the tag team mode of the original. Finally, a third game was released under the name ''Ring of Destruction - Slam Masters II'' (''Super Muscle Bomber: The International Blowout'' in Japan), which ditched the wrestling mechanics for a pure [[Fighting Game]] experience (in other words, it featured round-based matches and victory by K.O.), [[Hand Wave|under the excuse]] of Scorpion changing the rules. Outside that, the game follows the same non-plot as before, now with Ortega coming out of retirement to hold the final bout for the championship. 4 new wrestlers are joined by the 10 originals:
* '''Black Widow''':
* '''Rip Saber''':
* '''The Wraith''':
* '''Victor Ortega''':

* [[All There in the Manual]]
Line 39:
* [[The Cameo]]: Jumbo Flapjack and Biff Slamkovich appear in Ken's stage in ''[[Street Fighter Alpha]] 2'', along a bunch of other "Capcom universe guests" for his wife (then-girlfriend) Eliza's birthday party.
** At times, [[Final Fight|Jessica]] would appear and enter the ring to cheer with her father in his victory pose.
** Balrog (the boxer, that is) and Zangief each appear in the background of a stage in ''Slam Masters II'': namely, in their hometowns of Las Vegas and Moscow, respectively.
** Chun-Li can be seen in the audience in the first game.
* [[Canada, Eh?]]: Rip Saber.
* [[Captain Ersatz]]: Several. Victor Ortega = [[Hulk Hogan]], El Stingray = Lizmark, The Scorpion = Tinieblas, Alexander the Grater = Big Van Vader, Great Oni = Great Kabuki, etc.
* [[Color-Coded Multiplayer]]: Every player in Team Battle mode. Strangely enough, [[Mirror Match|mirror matches]] were not allowed until the ''Muscle Bomber Duo'' version, even though every character has a different palette for each player in Team Battle mode in addition to the standard palette used in Single Match mode.
** '''{{color|red|Player 1}}'''.
** '''{{color|gold|Player 2}}'''.
Line 48 ⟶ 50:
* [[Combat Pragmatist]]: Rip Saber, reflected in his movelist in which he employs things such as ''[[Throw Down the Bomblet|hand grenades]]'' to fight.
** Jumbo Flapjack will choke out opponents with his wrist tape and he breathes mist.
** King Rasta Mon and the Wraith both ''bite'' opponents in some of their grapples.
* [[Dub Name Change]]: As seen above, all of the wrestlers in the first game except Haggar.
* [[Dumb Muscle]]: King Rasta Mon, or as his Japanese game puts it, "[[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Missing IQ]]".
* [[Everything's Better with Spinning]]: Several techniques, Haggar being the best known example with his Spinning Clothesline and [[Spinning Piledriver]].
* [[Fan Service]]: Aside from all of the macho men (for the ladies and maybe some guys), there's also [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FS_12ODyoqU#t=8m55s Black Widow's reveal.] [[Male Gaze|It shouldn't come as a surprise that]] [[The Smurfette Principle|the only female]] [[Foreign Fanservice|of the cast]] [[Flung Clothing|sheds her concealing disguise to reveal]] [[Ms. Fanservice|herself]] [[Stripperiffic|wearing nothing more than a]] [[Leotard of Power]] [[Bare Your Midriff|cut to resemble]] [[Chainmail Bikini|a training bra and thong
* [[Fat Bastard]]: Jumbo Flapjack and Alexander.
* [[Final Boss]]: Scorpion at first, Ortega in the third game.
Line 63 ⟶ 66:
* [[Husky Russkie]]: Biff is actually an [[Inverted Trope|inversion]], being a [[Jack of All Stats|more balanced]] character and not even the tallest.
* [[Impossible Hourglass Figure]]: Black Widow.
* [[In-Series Nickname]]: All wrestlers are given nicknames in their bios. Also, certain tag teams in ''Muscle Bomber Duo'' are recognized by the computer and given a specific nickname, like Biff and Gunloc being the "Hyper Cannons".
* [[Inevitable Tournament]]
* [[Jack of All Stats]]: Biff Slamkovich.
Line 81 ⟶ 84:
* [[Prequel]]: To ''[[Final Fight]]'' (in the Japanese version at least).
* [[Professional Wrestling]]
* [[Pro Wrestling Is Real]]: Not that it would really matter, you wouldn't want them breaking the fourth wall in the middle of a show would you? And a management sim doesn't scream "put quarters in me".
* [[Raised By Animals|Raised By Monkeys]]: King Rasta Mon.
* [[Rated "M" for Manly]]: Like it even needed to be said.
Line 101 ⟶ 104:
* [[Walking Shirtless Scene]]: Most characters.
* [[Wild Samoan]]: Rasta is from an Atlantic island rather than a Pacific one, but otherwise, he's a perfect example of the trope, fighting with bites and headbutts and running around with a monkey.
* [[Wrestling Game]]: Only applies to the original game and ''Muscle Bomber Duo''. ''Slam Masters II'' is really more of a competitive fighting game with wrestling gimmicks.
