Mortal Kombat 2 FAQ

General Information

Random Select
Random select may be done by pressing up and start from the Choose Your Fighter screen. Be sure to have the selector positioned where it originally appears.

Disable Throws
To turn throws off in a two player match, hold down and HIGH PUNCH on both joysticks after you select your fighters. A message will appear saying throws are disabled.

Dead Pool Fatality
On the Dead Pool stage you may knock the victim into the pool, where they go under the slime and come up a skeleton. All the Dead Pool fatalities are performed by holding LOW PUNCH and LOW KICK while doing the standard uppercut.

Top Players
During attract mode, pull down on either joystick to bring up the top 15 players.

Friendships and Babalities

Instead of finishing your opponent, you have the option to violate the spirit of Mortal Kombat and be compassionate. You may either turn them into a baby or make friends with them. This is a good way to show others what a nice game Mortal Kombat II is.

In order to utilize a friendship or babality, you may not press either punch button during the winning round. This would include all normal punching moves, as well as all missile weapons involving a punch button and a few of Shang Tsung's morphs. Friendships and babalities may be done from any distance on the screen. Every fighter has a fairly good arsenal without the punch buttons, although this is much harder to accomplish against a human opponent. The easiest way to win against the computer without the punch buttons is with a jump-kick pattern.
