Game Play
A fast-paced, head-to-head fighting game with twelve characters to choose from -- each one with his or her own special moves. Lots of blood and gore with special endings e.g. Fatality, Friendship, and fatality that depend upon the combination of moves performed by the winner at the end of the match.
Finishing moves
One of the most notable features of the Mortal Kombat series is its brutal and gruesome finishing moves, known as "Fatalities". The basic Fatalities are finishing moves that allow the victorious characters to end a match by murdering their defeated, defenseless opponent. Usually Fatalities are exclusive to each character, the exception being Mortal Kombat: Armageddon, which instead features Kreate-A-Fatality, a feature that allows players to perform their own Fatalities by conducting a series of violent moves chosen from a pool that is common to all characters.
Cheats & Tricks
At the portal when uppercutting an opponent, watch for Dan Forden to pop his head out and say "Toasty". If he does, hold "down" on the joystick and press Start to travel to Goro's Lair and fight Smoke.
To fight Jade, use only the Low Kick button on all matches before the "?" square.
To fight Noob Saibot, win fifty times in a row!
