Gameplay Mechanics
When the player fills up their TAUNT meter, which is done by collecting various letters from around the ring, then they will become invincible for a certain amount of time. Which usually meant that during this time, the match could be one due to some issues about the length of this. However, when playing as Ned Flanders, you can play, and God will give you a hand to make sure that your opponent takes a lot of damage, which makes this character very hard to unlock.
Reception
Brought out in 2001, this game was mostly given bad reviews, for its bad graphics, audio design, and overly simplistic gameplay.
