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.

INTRO ------------------------------------------------------------------------

All moves are 100% tried and confirmed on the Sega MegaDrive.

I really want to thank Acclaim for putting a good effort into MK2 - it
is a vast improvement over MK1, even the 6 button works better.
Good idea to remove the naff low-punch from the arcade version and
replace it with the uppercut a la MK1.

Check out my MK FAQ also available from Andy Eddy's FTP site.

New this edition :

	o  Just some small errors corrected.
	o  Additional info on 'Fergus'
	o  Added section 'Rumour City'

WORLD WIDE WEB SITE ----------------------------------------------------------

For those of you that have WWW access, visit my Mortal Kombat site :

http://www.cs.ucl.ac.uk/people/zcacaes/mk/mk.html

For lots of info, news, gossip and of course the latest FAQs.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

RUMOUR CITY  -----------------------------------------------------------------
Also known as "Don't quote me on this, but..."

Yes! The section that's complete bull until proven otherwise!

The latest news is about Kano & Sonya (yawn...) and comes from the UK's
favourite daily rag...er...I mean Newspaper...and their Video games section
on a Friday. Apparently, you can fight Sonya and Kano by beating Jade or
Smoke usign only kicks or punches. Tim B tried this with the cheat on and it
didn't work; maybe you could give it a try without cheating ? The Sun also
states that Ed Boon and John Tobias *do* make an appearance in the game,
but again this hasn't been found YET.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

TEST MODES -------------------------------------------------------------------

Yes we found them! Didn't take too long did it ?!
Here is a full rundown :

To get the Test Modes, get the the MK symbol screen with the 'Start' and
'Options' menus. Select the 'Options' menu and at the bottom is the 'DONE!'
option. Go to this but DON'T press START.
Type in the following code...

	L D L  R D R  L L  R R

Another option will appear called 'TEST MODES'.
There are 3 levels of menus.

	Test Modes (1)

	No Damage to P1
	No Damage to P2
	1 Hit Kills P1
	1 Hit Kills P2
	More...
	DONE!

These are all pretty obvious. Select them with start - a tick will appear
to show that they are enabled. You can't have No Damage to both players
though. Select 'More...' to get to the next screen.

	Test Modes (2)

	Free Play
	Background xx
	Battleplan xx
	Soak Test
	More...
	...Back

The 'Free Play' gives infinite credits.
The 'Background' can be set to 'off' or between 1 and 10. Use L and R
to change. This allows you to select a background to constantly play
in (see list) or to cycle through the sequence if it is set to 'off'.

1: Acid Pool		6: Armoury
2: Kombat Tomb		7: The Pit II
3: Wasteland		8: Portal
4: Cloud Room		9: Kahn's Arena
5: Living Forest	10: Special Portal (should be Goro's Lair)

The 'Battleplan' can be set to 'off' or between 2 and 15. This enables
you to select a certain sequence of opponents to fight, or just select
on at random from the choices if it is set to 'off'.

	Test Modes (3)

	Fatalities
	Friendship
	Babalities
	Oooh Nasty!
	...Back

These (except 'Oooh Nasty!') determines what the cpu player will do when
it wins a match. Only one can be selected from the three.

Turning on the Oooh Nasty! allows you to perform another fatality called
a 'Fergality'. This changes them to a little guy with a big head who smokes
(a la Smoke). The head is the same as the one in the first Mortal Kombat
that floats across the moon when you set flag 3 in the cheat menu.
Fergalities is named after Fergus McGovern from Probe Software.

So far, we have only found one for Raiden, but there may be others.
Turn on the Oooh Nasty! flag to be able to perform these. You can use all
the other buttons (unlike Babalities/ Friendships) and the distance
doesn't appear to matter either. You must do the Fergality at a certain
stage, as given with the Fergality in the moves list.
Can you find any more ??

The only other thing the Test Modes does is to change the Dan 'Toasty'
Forden head into a cartoon style head pulling a face. Silly really!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

GAME GENIE CODES -------------------------------------------------------------

Here are some Game Genie codes from Gaetano LeFavi and John Bradley :

ABVT-BE64   Infinite time
CVYA-BA7N   Timer is twice as fast
LBYA-BA7N   Timer is twice as slow

RETT-A6Y6   Test options

B4MT-BA76   No matter what character you choose, the CPU gives
            you someone else

CLMT-BE74   CPU is disabled; computer will not fight you as
            player 2. *But* player two can play as CPU/P2

CRMT-BE76   No opponent. Game will freeze. :(

Select Opponent :

ACMT-BE76 = Kung Lao		AGMT-BE76 = Liu Kang
ALMT-BE76 = Johnny Cage 	ARMT-BE76 = Baraka
AWMT-BE76 = Kitana		A0MT-BE76 = Mileena
A4MT-BE76 = Shang Tsung		A8MT-BE76 = Rayden
BCMT-BE76 = Sub-Zero		BGMT-BE76 = Reptile
BLMT-BE76 = Scorpion		BRMT-BE76 = Jax
BWMT-BE76 = Kintaro *		B0MT-BE76 = Shao Kahn *
B4MT-BE76 = Smoke **		B8MT-BE76 = Noob Saibot **
CCMT-BE76 = Jade **		CLMT-BE76 = Toasty ***

 To fight *as* any of the above characters, just enter the game
 as player 2.

SPECIAL NOTES

   * As this character, it is almost impossible to attack. It is
      even more impossible to jump, without freezing the game.
      However fickle the cart is, it is possible on rare occasions
      to use this character effectively.

  ** As this character, you should refrain from high kick attacks,
     special moves, and blocks. These sometimes freeze the game.
     If you stick to HP, LP, uppercuts, throws, etc... you should
     not have *any* problems. I was able to repeatedly finish the
     game with these characters without any problem at all. The
     cart will crash at the end, but I think this is because the
     game has no *real* endings for Smoke, Jade, or Noob.

 *** A large cartoon picture of Dan 'Toasty' Forden appears as
     your opponent. You can't hurt him or hit him. If you jump
     over him or cross in front of him, the game will freeze.
     If you enter the game as player 2, there are two things
     you can do:
        1) Press Down...you will become a strange colored ninja
           selling a doll.
        2) Press Forwards...you will change the 'Toasty' picture
           to a larger strange colored picture of 'Fergality'
           If you continue to press Forwards, it becomes a large
           picture of Dan Forden.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-STAGE FATALITIES-------------------------------------------------------------
You can do special fatalities at the following backgrounds:

PIT II - Uppercut victim off bridge, switches to overhead view and watch
         victim slam into the concrete.

KOMBAT TOMB - Uppercut victims onto the ceiling spikes.
              This looks really cool as they stick there!
              It is possible to get them to slide off the spikes by holding
              DOWN on joystick when the uppercut has been done until the
	      <character> WINS writing appears.

ACID POOL - To uppercut someone into the acid, hold LP+LK and then do a normal
	    uppercut. This works for all characters. For 3-button users, hold
	    HK + LK then do an uppercut.
	    The opponent resurfaces as a skeleton!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-BABALITIES AND FRIENDSHIPS---------------------------------------------------
You can do a non-fatal BABALITY, which turns the victim into a baby.
You can also do a non-fatal FRIENDSHIP which does something silly!

To achieve a BABALITY or FRIENDSHIP, you CANNOT use the PUNCH buttons on the
match winning round.  Distance does not matter for both but you might want
to stay further than sweep distance.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-HIDDEN CHARACTERS AND SECRET STUFF-------------------------------------------
So far, there is a green female ninja called Jade, a light grey male ninja
called Smoke and Noob Saibot.

JADE - Win the 1st round of the match before the question mark without
       using the BLOCK or PUNCH buttons.  If you lose the first round, you 
       can do it on the second round. When you finish the round, keep
       pressing your START button to go into the question mark.

SMOKE - When Dan "Toasty" Forden pops up in the corner, hold your joystick 
	DOWN and press your START button. This must be in the Portal stage
	Get to toasty by uppercutting - you may want someone else to press
	start as you have to be quick!

NOOB  - To get to Noob Saibot*, you must get 25 wins in a row - don't
SAIBOT  know if mins against the machine count, but it must be 25.
        You fight NS in the secret level (colour changed Portal) - he is
	just a normal male ninja, but all black so he looks like a shadow.
	(He was originally going to be called ShadowMan) He is slower than
	smoke and only uses scorpions spear.
        (* Noob Saobot = Boon Tobias reversed) 

PONG GAME -If you reach Battle 250 (yes, 250) you'll get to play a game of
           Pong (the old paddle game and very first arcade game). Is it
	   really worth playing for so long ??!!??
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SPECIAL BITS------------------------------------------------------------------

RANDOM SELECT - Hold up and press start to randomly select a character
                on the choose your fighter screen.

NO THROWS - This can be done in the arcade by holding down and
            high punch after both fighters are chosen - anyone got it
	    to work on the Sega ??

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BUGS -------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, I haven't see any yet, but I just want to moan at the lack of the intro
screens for each character, the REAL end screens and the bit where the
characters jump out at the end and get their credits.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

THE MOVES LIST----------------------------------------------------------------

-LEGEND-----------------------------------------------------------------------
F : Forward             HP : High Punch         +  : and - F+LP, F and LP

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sega Keys --------------------------------------------------------------------

Don't forget to set your controller type in the options!

For the 3-button controller, substitute HP and LP for Punch.
A = Punch
B = High Kick
C = Low Kick
Start = Block

Six Button :

X = High Punch		Y = Block	Z = High Kick
A = Low Punch		B = Block	C = Low Kick	

Start is the same as the START button in the arcade.
