Mortal Kombat 2 FAQ

Rumors and Things to Try

Rumors Killed Dead

Kano is not a playable character in MKII. The only place you will see Kano in MKII is in the background of the Kahn's Arena stage. The Kano Transformations tally in the audits menu is nothing more than a red herring designed to generate interest and quarter pumping to find a secret that isn't there. And it was effective. An entire Usenet group is based on Kano sighting.

'Alitys' that do not exist in MKII:

• animality
• nudality
• gunality
• ageality
• hookality
• weirdality
• nationality
• brutality
• rapality
• gangstality
• etc.

Secret characters who you will not find:

• Scarlett
• Flame
• Inferno
• Kano
• Goro
• Sonya
• Shawn
• Ermac
• Watchdog
• the monster in the Dead Pool
• that guy in the Living Forest
• etc.

Stage fatalities that are unreal:

• getting impaled on the hooks
• getting knocked into the mouth of the trees
• picking up the weapons in the weaponry and killing your opponent
• raising the dead in the graveyard
• etc.

Things to Try

Do Reptile's tongue fatality on The Armory stage and watch the floor. This is a glitch and does not involve a secret room or character.

Sub-Zero can do the first half of his freeze-uppercut fatality indefinitely. When you defeat your opponent with Shang Tsung, morph into Sub-Zero and do the perma-freeze fatality repeatedly until you are changed back into Shang Tsung. Then morph into the fighter of your choice and do the fatality on a frozen victim.

Defeat your opponent on the Dead Pool stage near the corner. Then jump over them and do the Dead Pool fatality. The victim will go flying the wrong way and splash into the wall.

With Kitana, beat Shao Kahn by letting time expire. When time is about to run out, catch Kahn in the fan lift so that he is off the ground when time runs out. You will hear the sound of him exploding, and then the machine will freeze. A good way to get your credits back after beating the game. Of course, I am not endorsing this, just giving you the facts. :)

After doing the dead pool fatality, hold down on the joystick. The computer will say "oh whoa" or something to that effect.

Right after doing the pit fatality uppercut, hold down on both joysticks. The body will slowly slip from the spikes and fall to the ground.

Play 250 games in a row. 'You have reached the outer limits of the tournament. Now you both must face a challenge from your past...' Pong! First player to seven wins. It is just like the original Atari game.
