Unlike the other Tekken games, this episode has no specific storyline and the main idea behind the game was to create a game which has all the characters from Tekken 2 and Tekken 3 plus a few new characters, Tetsujin and Unknown. This game has a tag play system (i.e.: one player can play select a team of two players) and then during a match he can tag their characters at any time, provided they aren't in the air being juggled ). The title of this game translates from Japanese as 'Iron Fist Tag Tournament'.

The first tag team to have one of its pairing defeated results in that team being knocked out of the tournament. The eighth and final round is the battle for the title against the mysterious 'Unknown'. To win the entire tournament, players must defeat six other teams before fighting their character-specific sub-bosses in the seventh round. In addition, there is a new boss character called 'Unknown' who is similar to Mokujin from 'Tekken 3', in that she can randomly imitate any character's fighting style, although one difference from Mokujin is that she is able to change her style any time during the fight.

The game features over 35 characters that previously appeared in 'Tekken 2' and 'Tekken 3'. At times when a resting fighter's lifebar is flashing, that character can be tagged in to be given a temporary boost in strength.

The tag can be implemented in many ways, such as in between combos or utilizing special throws.

At any point during a match, players can hit a tag button to their two fighters fighter, allowing the resting fighter to recover some lost health. Tekken Tag Tournament is a one-on-one fighting game for one or two players, in which teams of two combatants compete in the legendary Iron Fist Tournament.
