7 one-round fights. Beware, you may have to use one
of your opponent's selections later in the battle.

Hold L+R,and start on left controller. First opponent
to defeat all 8 of his opponent's fighters wins.

SEE KOMBAT KODES FOR ADDITIONAL PLAYING OPTIONS!
4)How to do the finishers
When you succeed in draining your opponents'
lifebar. It will say "FINISH HIM/HER" and you will
have about 5 seconds to input a finishing kode.
(If some involve tapping up, hold BL to keep from
jumping!)
FATALITY- do these at the right distance
FRIENDSHIP- must not use BL on winning round or
thry will not work. Do Reptile's and Scorpion's
up close.
BABALITY-Same as friendship. Can be done anywhere
PIT-Do up close on either PIT III or Lair stages
MERCY-On round 3 only! (RN) for 3 seconds,D,D,and
release. Brings them back to life. Originally used
for Animalities.
BRUTALITY-The coolest finisher and also the
hardest! Stand close and tap out the lengthy button
sequence. Complete it and they churn out about 15
more hits ending with an ecploding uppercut! Don't
do these too fast or else they won't work.

R,U,B,B,A,D,U,B,D,U,B- Kool Stuff
U,B,A,L,D,Y- Kooler Stuff(includes Motaro)
B,A,D,D,L,A,X,B,A,B,Y- Scott's Stuff(includes Shao Kahn)
KOMBAT ZONES:B/F on controller 1 to select stages
A note about bosses: They can only be used in a 2-player game,
and then only by one person.
SOUND TEST:
On left controller, Left,Down,Y,Y to access sound
test. "Come here!"(#141)
Old and useless:
Hold Left+A on copyright screen
Hold Right+B on WILLIAMS screen
Hold X+Y until options screen appears
It's the old Smoke code from the original MK3! But who
needs it now?
"Restart" trick: In a 1-player game, tap start on
the other controller and then hold start on yours.
Select "MORTAL KOMBAT" and you can restart the
fight with a new character without using continues!
Shao Kahn's Treasures(after 8-man tourney):
Dragon:See character ending
MK:Play hidden game
Yin-yang:WILD CARD
(Noob Ermac/Fat. Demo 1-3/Friendship Demo)
"3":Short fatality demo
Question mark:same
Lightning:same(for new guys)
Goro:Fight Noob and Ermac
Raiden:same
Shao Kahn:same
Skull:Shows fatalities and friendships for all except
Rain,Noob,Classic Sub,and Human Smoke,and babalities
for all.
Play hidden game:Fight 100 consecutive 2-player
battles. Believe me, it's not that good.
8)Glitches
Garbled message: Turn the game on and hold L+R on the
right controller. A unintelligable message will appear
in the upper center of the copyright screen. Huh?
It says "SEPT 6 11:03 AM"
No kombo with kick: Occasionally, when next to your
opponent, they will do a kick instead of a combo
starter knee.
Friendship???:When using 1-button fatalities with
Rain,Ermac,or Sub-Zero, use LK and they walk to
about sweeping distance and freeze and the game
says "FRIENDSHIP". Occasionally occurs during demo
mode as well!
Liu Kang kombo glitch:Doing his HP,HP,B+LP kombo
causes all following moves to do greatly reduced
damage!
Scroll glitch:Doing Nightwolf's axe or Kitana's
fans sometimes causes the game to slow down
or scroll weirdly.
Rain game crash:Once I did the PowerKick and the
game froze.
What fatality?: During one-button fatalities or
occasionally in demo mode,Rain, Noob,or Human
Smoke will walk to a certain distance and just
do their winning pose. I think this is what
happens when you attempt a fatality that isn't
really there.
Ghost of Sheeva:Use old tournament mode and
random select, if you get an "E" it thinks it's
still Sheeva! You will have an almost completely
invisible image. The "ghost" cannot do Sheeva's
special moves, but can still do her kombos, at
least the HP,HP,LP,F+HP one! Try throwing with
her and watch the screen scroll up and down!
Novice level glitch:When playing on this tower,
the difficulty level seems to be high on the
second CPU opponent.
After image:Have your brightness turned up on
your TV/monitor when doing Classic Sub's head pull
fatality. While the screen blacks out, a very faint
image of Sub-Zero doing his winning pose, your
opponent in his "scared" pose and the word "FATALITY"
can be seen!
Missed combo:Stryker and Kano can't start their
combos beginning with a HP from a jump punch
on either of the female ninjas, the standing HP
hit will miss!
(Update: Cyrax also has this problem and the
first punch will miss when he nets N.Wolf)
Mileena with fans? Drain your the last of your
opponents' energy with a jumppunch and then hit
HP,HP as if starting a combo. Mileena will hold
fans for a split second while doing her winning
pose!
Soound test trick: Play sounds #109 and #110 right after
each other very very quick! Nuff said.
Noob's flashing baby:
When your opponent has 10% or less life in the final
round, finish them off with this combo: Slam,LP,blast
Then do the babality(F,F,F,LP). The baby will flash and
then be discolored! You can also do another blast and
Noob himself will flash in his winning pose!
Reptile's floating baby:
At the end of the match, stand back a full screen and
throw a slow orb. Then quickly do his babality(F,F,B,D,LK)
before the orb hits. They will be bounced up as they are
turned into a baby and stay suspended in air!
Cyrax false mercy:
Do a MERCY with CYRAX right after launching a far bomb and
see what happens!
Silent taunt: Doing Kahn's verbal taunt at certain times, he will
not speak.
Brutality freeze: Enter 1 button brutalities with
fatalities OFF. And finish with HP and your character
does just half of his/her brutality and then stops!
3 Friendship glitches:
Have 1 button fatalities turned on, end of round 2 only, and have
opponent win first match.
Attack Rayden:Hit LK for Nightwolf's friendship, then have the other
player preform his/her brutality.
Brutality glitch#2:Have Scorpion or Reptile do their 1 button friendship
and do your brutality. You do it but THEY get credit for it!
Double winning pose:Hit Scorpion or Reptile before the skull or
lizard head comes out. Both will do their victory poses!
Unfinished Brutality: If you do Kung Lao's brutality in
the corner, he will stop right after the screen goes black.
