Spoilers Off for Mortal Kombat (1992). You Have Been Warned.The original Mortal Kombat was a huge hit, which made the creation of a sequel inevitable. In 1993, that sequel — Mortal Kombat II — was unleashed in arcades. It would eventually be ported to the Sega Genesis, Super Nintendo Entertainment System, Game Boy, Sega Saturn, Sega 32X, Sega Game Gear, PlayStation, PC and Amiga.With Shang Tsung's plan to conquer Earthrealm through the titular tournament foiled, Shao Kahn — Emperor of Outworld and the man behind the plan — prepares to end the sorcerer's life. Shang Tsung comes up with an idea to save his skin: because an invitation to Mortal Kombat cannot be refused, if the Earthrealm warriors were challenged to a tournament in Outworld, they would have to accept...at which point Kahn's Outworld warriors, led by Shokan warrior Kintaro, who seeks revenge for the death of Prince Goro, could kill the warriors and begin the invasion of Earthrealm. Shao Kahn approves of Shang Tsung's idea, restores the sorcerer's youth as a token of appreciation, and sends out the challenge. Earthrealm's warriors accept Shao Kahn's invitation, and after they arrive in Outworld, they come face-to-face with numerous new foes, all of whom are ready to crush a few skulls.MKII ramped up the blood'n'guts by giving each character an extra Fatality to their characters and adding new stage-specific Fatalities. It also added two new Finishing Moves — the Babality, which turns the opponent into a baby, and the Friendship, a Non-Lethal K.O. where the characters do friendly or funny things to their defeated opponents, — as potshots at Moral Guardians who hated the first game's violent content.This game was followed by Mortal Kombat 3. | |

Cherry Tapping: The fight against Secret Character Jade is unlocked by winning a certain fight using only Low Kicks. Weirdly, the same tactic - jumping low kicks ad infinitum - is one of the best ways to defeat the final boss. | |

Secret A.I. Moves | |
| Mortal Kombat II (Video Game) / int_11311505 | comment |
Secret A.I. Moves: The CPU jumps while the character is still in a prone position to counter any hope of continuing a combo after a knockdown. The CPU can also throw you in the middle of a projectile attack, which the player simply cannot do. But that's not all; the CPU can also throw you in the middle of just about any other special move, making specials such as Raiden's torpedo complete suicide! They'll also pull off impossible knockdown-to-throw combos that the player can't even attempt to do, instantly throwing you if you fall to the ground and they're right next to you, shaving a quarter of your life bar in the process. If the CPU gets you into a corner, they can chain throw you to death by repeatedly throwing you into the corner, something that is impossible to escape and once again simply not possible for a human player to do. Finally, if the player traps them into a corner by spamming projectiles at them, they'll eventually slide across the ground while crouched down to avoid the projectiles and surprise surprise, throw the player. | |

Darker and Edgier | |
| Mortal Kombat II (Video Game) / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: Even in comparison to the original, MK2 was darker; ramping up the violence, taking place in the unearthly and threatening realm of Outworld, and introducing the Big Bad of the series, Shao Kahn, who utterly dwarfs Shang Tsung in threat scale. The developers realized this and decided to lighten things up a little with the Babality and Friendship finishing moves, which were also intended as sort of a Take That! towards people who decried the first game's violence. | |

Genre Shift | |
| Mortal Kombat II (Video Game) / int_177a6464 | comment |
Genre Shift: The franchise started out as a tribute to martial arts cinema. Apart from the Multi-Armed and Dangerous monster dude Goro, nothing out of the game was too out of the ordinary for those who've seen martial arts movies, and its main claim to fame was being the first major "bloody" fighting game. Then the sequel came around, and the main plot of the series — a dimension-wide conflict for people's souls — took center stage. | |

Power-Up Letdown | |
| Mortal Kombat II (Video Game) / int_18683fc2 | comment |
Power Up Letdown: If you play as Reptile, you can turn invisible. While this is somewhat useful while playing against humans, it's completely and utterly useless while playing against the computer, which still knows exactly where you are all the time. Furthermore, since the invisibility is total, it makes it impossible for you to see the character, which makes the game harder for the player. Later games in the series have modified the ability so the invisibility is not total. | |

Easy-Mode Mockery | |
| Mortal Kombat II (Video Game) / int_1be7d298 | comment |
Easy-Mode Mockery: The SNES port would have subverted this if the unreleased prototype were the final version. This version allowed you to turn the blood and gore on or off, but mocked you if you turned it off, saying this game mode had "No blood for the wimps" at the bottom of the Options screen. As for the Bloody mode, the game described it as "With blood for the true sportsman". Being that this was the mid-development prototype version, though, this toggle made no difference since the game was always bloody. The final product omits these messages and the toggle altogether. | |

Game-Breaking Bug: You can crash the arcade version of the game by performing a Fatality against Jade or Noob Saibot. GLITCHALITY! On early revisions of the arcade version, the Babalities are possible to glitch out. Depending on the characters used and the stage performed on (among other things), glitch Babalities can lead to anything from changing the palette of the stage to crashing the machine and forcing a reset. | |

Sequel Escalation: The first game already managed to drum up some controversy with its Fatalities, of which each character had one.

Boring, but Practical: The Pit II's stage fatality is this compared to the Deadpool and Kombat Tomb; as well as the first and third Pit stages in the franchise. The Pit II has no acid, spikes, sawblades, or any kind of gimmick whatsoever. It's just a flat, rocky ground and the victim dies by falling and hitting the ground...really hard. | |

The Man Behind the Man: In the first game, Shang Tsung was hyped as the big bad, a deadly, powerful, long haired, evil sorcerer who has taken control of the Shaolin tournament through unethical means, and corrupted it into chaos, ensuring that with 10 consecutive victories, he can take over Earthrealm. Then, with this game, it's revealed that he's doing all of this for his boss, the emperor of Outworld, Shao Kahn, whom the good guys eventually met when they're forced to continue a new tournament in Outworld itself. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
| Mortal Kombat II (Video Game) / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: Kitana's ending says that her parents were former rulers of Outworld overthrown by Shao Kahn. However, later games established that her parents ruled the realm of Edenia, and that the former ruler of Outworld has no relation to Kitana. This ending likely led to the misconception that Outworld was formerly Edenia, and Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the Realm ran with the idea. Jax does not have his Artificial Limbs here. He wouldn't gain them until the next game. | |

Charged Attack | |
| Mortal Kombat II (Video Game) / int_589e54d3 | comment |
Charged Attack: Starting from this game, Liu Kang has the bicycle kick: he floats towards his adversary, making turkey noises, kicking his feet in a bicycle pedal motion. Players have to charge the low kick for a few seconds, but it is well worth the wait. Raiden has a Shocking Grasp for his Charged Attack, which in turn has a Fatality variation, and also a Charged Uppercut fatality. Many other fatalities require you to hold a button for a certain length of time, usually well before you defeat your opponent (eg Shang Tsung's Kintaro morph). | |

The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard: The AI in this game is absolutely ridiculous. After the second round, the CPU does things that no human player can do — like dodging an uppercut or blocking throws and counterattacking with their own. This game's AI is sure to make anyone rage. | |

Expecting Someone Taller | |
| Mortal Kombat II (Video Game) / int_69391768 | comment |
Expecting Someone Taller: Big Bad Shao Kahn is played by bodybuilder Brian Glynn. Kahn is known for his massive, imposing stature, and while Glynn is impressively muscular, he is actually kind of short in real life. In the games it made no difference since his sprite was simply scaled up, but when Glynn appears at conventions, more than one fan was, well, expecting someone taller. | |

Superboss: Following up the tradition set in the first game, II continued it with Noob Saibot, Jade, and Smoke. Noob Saibot appears only if you win 50 battles consecutively. Jade appears if, on the fight before the question-mark box, you only use the Low Kick button to defeat your opponent (can be done on any round). Smoke is the most difficult to get, as you have to make Dan Forden appear and say "TOASTY!" while fighting on the Portal stage, then hit Down + Start while he's on the screen. | |

Luck-Based Mission | |
| Mortal Kombat II (Video Game) / int_98b1dc8f | comment |
Luck-Based Mission: Although luck isn't strictly required to win the fights against Shao Kahn or Kintaro, it certainly helps. Both have tremendously powerful and versatile movesets that can allow them to hit you for massive damage from all the way across the arena with very limited ability to dodge or block. They both also have a tendency to stop and taunt in the middle of combat. If you're lucky they'll stand around taunting like idiots the whole battle, allowing you to slowly chip away at their health bar with ranged attacks. If you're unlucky they'll charge in immediately and spam their most powerful moves at lightning speed until you die. | |

Demoted to Extra: Sonya and Kano went from being playable characters to being chained up in the background of Shao Kahn's stage.

While Richard Divizio reprised the role for the cameo (since he was already part of the MKII cast as Baraka), Sonya became The Faceless (looking downward with her hair covering her face) since Elizabeth Malecki left over a pay dispute after MK1. | |

Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: In the Wastelands stage, you can see corpses impaled on pikes in the background. The Kombat Tomb has a stage fatality in which the winner can impale the loser on spikes covering the ceiling. Holding Down on both players' joysticks immediately after entering the sequence to do the fatality results in the body slowly sliding off the spikes and falling back down to the floor; otherwise, the body remains suspended, dripping blood. The camera pans up to capture the impalement, but not back down if the body falls to the floor. | |

Ludicrous Gibs | |
| Mortal Kombat II (Video Game) / int_db33bc7e | comment |
Ludicrous Gibs: Starting with this game, when the creators went for the dark humor angle, most fatalities would create some actual ludicrous gibs from one character: a full-body 'splosion would yield about seven severed legs, twenty dog-bone-shaped bones, a lung or two, and nothing else. Another fatality will decapitate the victim three times in quick succession, resulting in one headless body and three identical severed heads (which is an Ascended Glitch; in the original, if you were fast enough, you could perform Johnny Cage's fatality over and over again, knocking more heads off your opponent's body than humanly possible), perhaps those were prop heads. | |

Suspiciously Similar Substitute | |
| Mortal Kombat II (Video Game) / int_f5a3e496 | comment |
Suspiciously Similar Substitute: After the supposed death of the four-armed Shokan sub-boss Goro in the first game, this one introduced Kintaro, another four-armed Shokan Mini-Boss. It is likely for this reason that Kintaro is rarely used in adaptations of the franchise, as the comics, TV shows and movies tend to simply use the more popular Goro instead. | |

Now, Buy the Merchandise | |
| Mortal Kombat II (Video Game) / int_fa1ebe7 | comment |
Now, Buy the Merchandise: The Friendship finisher for Scorpion, Sub-Zero, and Reptile have them advertising their own dolls. Considering how hard it was around that time to come to know about the actual codes to perform them, those finishing moves could be seen as more of a parody of this than anything else. It wasn't entirely Played for Laughs, though — around that time, there was an actual line of Mortal Kombat action figures being sold by Hasbro. | |

The Power of Friendship | |
| Mortal Kombat II (Video Game) / int_faece9aa | comment |
The Power of Friendship: In a lampshading response to parents complaining about the grotesque violence of the Fatality finishing moves, this game and its sequel added finishing moves called "Friendships", which allow you to win the match with an animation of your character doing something sickeningly friendly and decidedly non-fatal: | |
