Welcome to Super Nintendo Mortal Kombat ][ FAQ. I tried to
cover everything about the game possible, but of course I'm
only human and I might have missed something. Please E-Mail me
if there is a correction or something that might need to be
added. Mortal Kombat ][ has been developed by Sculptured
Software Inc. and distributed by Acclaim Entertainment Inc.
Mortal Kombat ][ was released on Mortal Friday, September 9th.
This game has been noted to be 95% of the arcade and also the best
arcade to home translation of any arcade game, including SNES
Street Fighter 2, on either the Genesis or Super Nintendo. All the
blood, fatalities, babalities, friendship, background fatalities,
and secret characters have remained intact, along with all the
moves being excuted the same way as the arcade. The SNES
version is equivalent to that of version 3.1 in the arcade.
Everything contained in this FAQ has been tested. I stand by
whatever I have written in here, and until proven wrong, I
will stand by it. Everything has been tested before being
placed in this FAQ. Feel free to distribute this FAQ to
whomever you would like, but at the moment hold off posting it
due to people's request. This FAQ was developed to help you
and is in no way to be used for profit.

BACKGROUND STORY
*************************************************************************
500 years ago, Shang Tsung was banished to the Earth Realm. With the
aid of Goro he was to unbalance the furies and doom the planet to a
chaotic existence.
By seizing control of the Shaolin Tournament he tried to tip the scales
of order towards chaos. Only seven warriors survived the battles and
Shang Tsung's scheme would come to a violent end at the hands of Liu
Kang.
Facing execution for his failure and the apparent death of Goro, Tsung
convinces Shao Kahn to grant him a second chance.
Shang Tsung's new plan is to lure his enemies to compete in the Outworld
where they will meet certain death by Shao Kahn himself.

Sweep - Throw: After hitting a human opponent with a sweep, you can
sometimes get in a throw, even if they are blocking

hitting them with moves other than the sweep, such as
a jump kick or roundhouse. This only works with some
of the characters, and could be the result of switching

Jump Kick - Hop Kick: Jump kick your opponent low and immediately do a
hop kick. This works well for some of the
characters, including the ninjas and Shang Tsung.
Jump Kick - Missile Weapon: Jump kick your opponent low and immediately

Pit/Spikes: This is the fatality where you knock the victim into the
pit or onto the spikes, either on The Pit II or Kombat Tomb
stages.
Babality/Friendship: Babalities are moves where instead of finishing
your opponent you can turn them into a baby.
Friendships are similar, only you make friends with
your opponent. In order to do a babality or
friendship, you can not use either punch button on
the winning round.
Dead Pool: On the Dead Pool stage you may knock the victim into the
pool,
where they go under and come up a skeleton. All the Dead Pool
fatalities are performed by holding LOW PUNCH and LOW KICK
while doing the standard uppercut.

JOHNNY CAGE (DANIEL PESINA)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
After disappearing from the set of his latest movie, Cage finally
resurfaces. He used all his knowledge and experiences as a fighter to
end the Outworld menace. Now heralded as a true hero, Cage receives the
respect he rightfully deserves. He also gets his inspiration for the
sequel to his blockbuster movie Mortal Kombat. MK II is released and
quickly becomes the greatest motion picture event of all time. Cage
realizes that MK III is inevitable.
Reptile has always loyally served as Shang Tsung's protector. While
maintaining a very low profile in the first tournament he discovered
Tsung's plot to force the remaining members of his near extinct race
into slavery under Shao Kahn's rule. Reptile then devises a plan of his
own. He enters the Outworld tournament, defeats Shao Kahn and turns
against Shang Tsung, ending his master's scheme. Now his race can live
on in their own peaceful existence.
When Sub-Zero failed to return from the Shaolin tournament and rumor of
Shang Tsung's survival reached the Lin Kuei clan, they immediately sent
another assassin to complete the task. This new warrior is actually the
younger brother of the original Sub-Zero. He enters the outworld
contest and accomplishes his task. He learns of Scorpion's foul
vendetta against his brother but will never know why his life was
spared. Perhaps a third tournament is in his future?
Shang Tsung not only turns against and defeats both Kintaro and Shao
Kahn, he also takes over their rule of the Outworld. With Shao Kahn's
armies at his command, he finally unbalances the Furies, and weakens the
dimensional gates between the Outworld and the Earth Realm. Along with
his elite group of sorcerers he uses this weakness to march a never
ending horde of demons into the earth and doom its inhabitants to
eternal darkness. Have a nice day.
Through her years of working as an assassin, Kitana has learned many
secrets, especially about her own past. She finds that Mileena is not
her twin but a grotesque clone created by Shang Tsung. She learns that
her parents were former rulers of the Outworld overthrown by Shao Kahn.
Determined to take back what is rightfully hers she must defeat Kahn
himself. She does so by entering the tournament. She retakes her
parents' castle and restores the Outworld back into a realm of nobility.
Jax finds Sonya held captive alongside their arch enemy Kano. Her only
chance of escape is by Jax entering Shao Kahn's contest. With fierce
determination he catches the Outworld warriors off guard and wins the
tournament bringing Shao Kahn's rule to a crashing halt. During the
chaos that follows, Jax and Sonya escape through the dimensional gate
from which they entered. Kano once again eludes capture but Jax and
Sonya know they will cross paths with him in the future.
Once thought to be Kitana's twin sister, Mileena is actually a grotesque
clone created by Shang Tsung. With Shao Kahn suspicious of Kitana's
motives, Mileena seizes the opportunity to attack Kahn and his minions.
Caught off guard they are no match for Mileena's speed. She wins the
tournament and together with her secret companion, Baraka, they rule the
world as King and Queen.
Known for his unpredictable actions and wild fits of anger, Baraka goes
on a rampage. After defeating the earth warriors he attacks Shang
Tsung, Kintaro and finally Shao Kahn himself. After defeating Shao
Kahn, Baraka's race of mutants arise from the wastelands and rebel
against what is left of Kahn's army. They eventually win and the
Outworld comes under the rule of King Baraka.
Upon learning of Sub-Zero's reappearance, Scorpion enters Shao Kahn's
tournament. He witnesses Sub-Zero spare the life of an opponent and
realizes that this is not the same Sub-Zero who murdered him so long
ago. He lets the ninja live and goes on to defeat the Outworlders in
their unholy contest. With the defeat of Shao Kahn, Scorpion discovers
a new purpose for his existence. He becomes the guardian of the new
Sub-Zero to atone for murdering his older brother and in preparation for
a third tournament.
Familiar with Shang Tsung's lies and Shao Kahn's brutality, Rayden
accepts their challenge to compete in an Outworld tournament. He is
well aware of their scheme to unbalance the Furies and invade the Earth
Realm. Rayden vows to use all his might to end their treachery.
Winning the tournament Rayden destroys Shao Kahn and all his minions.
He also destroys the dimensional gates which would have been their
passageway to the Earth Realm.
