With the release of Fire Pro Wrestling's earliest titles, soundtrack compilations weren't
far behind.
In our last blog entry, we talked about the official soundtrack of 2nd Bout, the highly-
anticipated sequel to the Fire Pro-Wrestling series on PC Engine software. Continuing
the subject with Blog #258, we're going to delve even further by taking a look at another
album released less than a year later.
HUMAN SUPER F2
Human Super F2 is a split compilation featuring game tracks lifted from two of HUMAN's
popular sports titles: Super Formation Soccer (known outside of Japan simply
as 'Super Soccer'), and Super Fire Pro-Wrestling. Both titles were released on Nintendo's
16-bit Super Famicom system in 1991.
To promote the release of both titles, HUMAN organized competitions throughout Japan
to avid fanfare. The tournaments were broken down into two specific cups: the 'Amano
Cup' (named after Super Formation Soccer's programmer Ryuji Amano), and the 'Masuda
Cup' (which respectively gets it's name from Fire Pro-Wrestling's creator Masato Masuda).
From a speculation standpoint, HUMAN's competitions were most-likely inspired by
the Nintendo World Championships, which were taking place around the same time
in the west.
The cover of Human Super F2, which features the cover artwork of both respective
games.
Name-wise, Human Super F2 is simply meant to represent a combination of Super
Fire Pro-Wrestling and Super Formation Soccer into one convenient title, without
taking up too much text space. And ...just in case you were wondering, 'Human
Super F1' or 'F3' does not exist. 
The back cover.
Speaking of music, wrestling theme collectors and series purists will want to check
out the first several songs, as tracks 1 to 6 are exclusive arranged versions. What
drives the value of these older soundtracks up is the fact the arranged compositions
were entirely re-recorded, and not available in any other commercial release
endorsed by HUMAN or otherwise to date.
The first three arrange tracks are dedicated to Super Fire Pro-Wrestling, while the latter
three are composed for Super Formation Soccer. The same pattern follows suit with
tracks 7 to 12, which are rips of both title's respective in-game music.
Pages 0 - 1. Tracklisting for all 12 songs. Page 0 lists the "re-arranged version" tracks,
while page 1 lists the "original version" tracks.
Pages 2 - 3 contain liner notes, and a message from co-producer Chachamaru.
Chachamaru states that both Super Fire Pro-Wrestling and Super Formation Soccer have sold
well enough that a compilation CD was made. Chacha adds that the acronym H.E.LP. is meant
to represent the Human Entertainment Loud Project (later renamed to the Human Sound Team).
Direction-wise, Chacha wanted Super Fire Pro-Wrestling's soundtrack to have the element of
rock music to it, with the intention of inspiring players during matches. Chacha suggests that
the best way to listen to the tracks on the Human Super F2 is while playing the associated
games themselves.
As an added bonus, Chacha mentions a special trick in Super Fire Pro-Wrestling:
1. Insert CHACHAMARU in the game's built in PASSWORD mode (which will unlock
Chachamaru as a hidden referee).
2. In the OPTIONS mode, set the COM LEVEL to 4.
3. Start a new tournament in OPEN LEAGUE (fourth option on the mode select screen).
4. Choose the strongest Wrestlers as opponents.
5. Chacha claims that defeating all of the opponents in the tournament will deem the player
as a very 'influential person'.
The verdict is still out whether the above 'trick' actually unlocks extra-hard difficulty or not.
Respectfully, Chacha was always known for his humorous side. 
Pages 4 - 5 staff credits and sound system information.
The back of the booklet.
For some reason, all of the in-game music themes from track 7 onward are bunched
together. For example, track 7 features all of the game mode themes, while track 8
includes most of the Wrestler themes bundled into a nearly nine minute track.
As such, I have tabbed out the corresponding game themes for Super Fire Pro
-Wrestling.
