Fighting Masters

Fighting Masters is a 2D one-on-one fighting game with 12 diverse characters on the Sega Mega Drive, including human wrestler Larry/Dirk, anthropomorphic elephant Elepha/Mastodon, kickboxing horse Flamer/Equus, amazon warrior Morin, and others like machine grinder, golem Goldrock, hawk griffin, and lobster Zrygunte. Gameplay uses confined arenas with wall-bounded stages such as jungle, city, coliseum, and moon; fighters deplete a health bar via punches, jumps, aerial dive attacks, and grapples without a block. The B button handles ground/aerial assaults and stuns for combos; C enables jumps and throws that can slam into walls for bonus damage. Story involves battling against aliens and a big red planet in a chaotic, non-human roster focused on grappling and precise timing in small spaces. It stands out for its unique alien/wrestler mix, wall-enhanced combos, and fluid but simple control scheme typical of early 1990s Genesis fighters.
