1. INTRODUCTION
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…
2. FATALITIES
Unlike in Mortal Kombat, there are four different types of fatalities. The regular fatalities are back although there are now two unique fatalities per character (except Shang Tsung, who has three). The other fatalities are:
Stage Fatality
In the Pit II and Kombat Tomb, a stage fatality can be performed by entering each characters stage fatality command. In the Kombat Tomb, the victim is punched up into the spikes on the ceiling. Also, if both controllers hold down after the fatal, the victim will slide off the spikes. In the Pit II, the victim is knocked off the bridge and lands on a rock floor.
There is also another stage fatality; this one is in the Deadpool. It can only be done by holding down, LP and LK and then doing an uppercut.
Babality
This finisher turns the opponent into a baby, and can only be done if either punch button has not been used in the winning round.
Friendship
This does not really ‘finish’ the opponent; instead, the character performs a friendly act towards them. Like with the babality, it can only be done if either punch button has not been used in the winning round.

4. HIDDEN CHARACTERS
Although in the arcade version there were three hidden characters, (Smoke, Jade and Noob Saibot) only two of them are accessible in this version due to the layout of the buttons on the control pad.
----
Jade

Jade is a childhood friend of Kitana who has been recruited by Shao Kahn to participate in the Outworld tournament.
To fight Jade, on the round before the ? box, defeat the enemy by only using low-kicks. You will the be taken to Goro’s Lair to fight her. She is basically a green Kitana, with all of her moves, however, all projectiles do not hurt her.
-----------
Noob Saibot
-----------
Noob Saibot is actually the former Sub Zero, who died at the hands of Scorpion in the first Mortal Kombat. He has returned from the Netherealm to spy on events for his master Shinnok.
To fight Noob Saibot, you must win 50 matches in a row. You will then be taken to Goro’s Lair. Noob is like Scorpion, however he is in a black outfit and much faster.

4. HIDDEN CHARACTERS
Although in the arcade version there were three hidden characters, (Smoke, Jade and Noob Saibot) only two of them are accessible in this version due to the layout of the buttons on the control pad.

Jade

Jade is a childhood friend of Kitana who has been recruited by Shao Kahn to participate in the Outworld tournament.
To fight Jade, on the round before the ? box, defeat the enemy by only using low-kicks. You will the be taken to Goro’s Lair to fight her. She is basically a green Kitana, with all of her moves, however, all projectiles do not hurt her.

Noob Saibot is actually the former Sub Zero, who died at the hands of Scorpion in the first Mortal Kombat. He has returned from the Netherealm to spy on events for his master Shinnok.
To fight Noob Saibot, you must win 50 matches in a row. You will then be taken to Goro’s Lair. Noob is like Scorpion, however he is in a black outfit and much faster.
