Hint: Headless Kabal: Select two player mode. Then, select your character
as Kabal and have player two select any other character. When
the Vs. screen appears put in the "Extended Fatality Time"
Kombat Kode (155-155). Defeat your opponent with
Kabal twice so you can finish him. This easier if your last hit
on your opponent is a High Punch and you are as close as
possible. After you hit your opponent, and Shao Kahn says "Finish
Him!", walk up to your wobbling opponent while still holding
High Punch. Next, press Forward, Forward,
Down, Forward and then release High Punch.
For no apparent reason, Kabal's head flies off of his body. Shao
Khan then says, "Kabal wins. Fatality."
Note: If your opponent is up against a wall after Kabal's head
flies off, and you try to do the upper cut, Kano will upper cut,
but it will miss the opponent. If you do nothing after that and
wait until the "Kabal Wins" screen, the game will think
you did a fatality. Kabal will be standing there with his head
off on the ground, your opponent still wobbling, and Kano standing
in his "Kano Wins" screen stance after he wins a match
with his arms curved like he is flexing.
Also, on any pit stage push your opponent all the way to the left
or right of the screen so that you cannot move any farther. Now
finish your opponent with a High Punch and allow the game
to get to the "Finish Him!" screen. Hold High Punch
and make Kabal's head fly off like normal by doing his Animality
without a Mercy. Immediately after that, press Low Punch,
Block, Block, High Kick. Kano should appear
and upper-cut the opponent into the pit.

Hint: Continuous lightning strike by Rain:
Select Rain and execute a lightning strike during a
match. When your opponent starts his or her way down, repeat the
lightning strick. You should perform it again just as your opponent
is a quarter of the way down the screen from the top.

Hint: Defeating CPU opponents: As Cyrax, shoot a net (Back, Back, C)
and do an uppercut. Go up to him/her and press A repeatedly
until he/she is defeated. As Sektor, keep shooting missiles (Forward,
Forward, A). If your opponent ducks, press Forward,
Forward, C. As Smoke, use his spear, then use uppercuts.

Hint: Using the one button fatality code:
After activating the 944-944 Kombat code,
pick a thing and press Down(2), B (one a six-button
controller) at the "Finish Him!" screen while close
to your opponent. On a three-button controller, hold Start
and press A, B, or C.

Hint: Sub-Zero: Hidden head-rip fatality:
Enable the "Cheat menu" code. Go to "Killer
Kodes" and enable "Fatalities-1". Choose Sub-Zero
as your character. This fatality is very similar to the one on
Mortal Kombat 4. where he rips the opponent's head off.
In this game, before he rips off their head, the screen fades
to black. Defeat your opponent in two rounds. When Shao Khan says
"Finish Him/Her", stand close to your opponent and press
High Punch.

Glitch: Stage skip: The stage skip trick can be used during the Shao Kahn
match. Your square will move past the top of the match pole and
you then fight endless battles against mainly Kano, Sonya, or
someone else on occasion. The stage skip can continue to be used
to make this go faster but eventually if you reach any E box,
the game will display an error screen including something like
this:

Glitch: Guard only: Have both players take Noob Saibot on Scorpion's Lair
background with the timer disabled. Use the 044-440 Kombat
Kode for no power. Each player should throw a skull (Down,
Forward, Low Punch) one at a time so the other player
always guards it. Shao Kahn will be heard laughing each time.
Repeat this until the skulls are stuck in front of the players.
All you can do now is guard.
