Alright, I saw Quirk posting about a topic like this, and I thought it might be an idea to finally create one, so that all of the noobs that come onto this board understand the following.
MK1:
- Ermac, otherwise known is ERror MACro, is heavily rumoured to be a playable character in MK1, but there is no proof to say this is true as of yet.
- Goro and Shang Tsung were not playable characters. They are only accessable through a hacked version.
- There is no way to make Sonya nude in this game.
MK2:
- Smoke, Jade and Noob Saibot ARE available in the game, but only through a hacked version, playable on MAME. In MAT2 however, Smoke is present in the game, but just not playable due to those lazy programmers. To access these characters *fighting only, NOT playable, and don't believe otherwise*, you have to do the following:
Smoke - He appears behind a tree in the Living Forest, but to actually access him, you have to be fighting on the Portal stage, and when Dan Forden appears, shouting 'Toasty!', press Down + Start. You will then be taken to fight Smoke.
Jade - On the fight just before the Question Mark box on the MK2 Battle Plan, beat that character using only Low Kick, and ONLY Low Kick. After one round, you will be taken to fight Jade in Goro's Lair.
Noob Saibot - Win 50 VS matches in a row. You will then be taken to fight Noob Saibot.
- Kintaro and Shao Kahn are once again NOT playable, unless using a hacked version.
- The following characters do not exist:
- Nimbus Terrafaux
- Pinklet
- Tremor
- Raptor
- Ermac
- Blaze
- Hornbuckle
- The following characters are not playable in this game:
- Sonya
- Kano
- It is NOT possible to perform Brutalities OR Animalities in MK2.
- The idea of a Dead Pool 'hook' fatality is possible, however, it does not exist in this game.
- Although The Armory floor may move while performing Reptile's Head Munch fatality, it has nothing to do with any special areas of the game. It's just a glitch.
- It's not possible to play any other mini-games but Pong on MK2. Some possiblities I've heard are to play Space Invaders after winning 200 matches, Asteroids after 200, and Duck Hunt after 1000. Jeez, there are some stupid people around.
- There are 2 different spellings of Raiden's name, one with a Y and one with an I.
MK3
- Nudalities do NOT exist.
- It isn't possible to play as Motaro or Shao Kahn.
- There's no way to make the train ride on the other side of the tracks in the Subway level, nor is it possible to knock the opponent into the open mouth in the Soul Chamber.
UMK3/MKT
- Although many have speculated what happens, it's not possible to see what happens in Sub-Zero's Head Rip fatality, or in the Scorpion's Lair stage fatality.
- It's not possible to create a larger select screen with 'retro' versions of every character (this is by far, the most ridiculous one I've seen around).
MK4
- It's possible for you to play as Goro, but there are no other sub-bosses from other MK games available.
- Nor is it possible for you to play as MK Gold characters in MK4.
MK : DA
- There are no stage fatalities or weapon fatalities in MK : Deadly Alliance.
- It's not possible to access 'classic' levels in 3D form on DA. Besides, you've already got it in Deception, if you thought or still think it can happen in DA, then you're a moron.
- You cannot access any hidden characters apart from Blaze, Mokap and the other 9 available on the selection screen.
And those are all the ones I know of. If anyone cares to think of any more, then go ahead and chuck them into my list, you're more than welcome. And these are ALL valid rumours that I have seen or heard from members of other MK forums, or boards where there have been discussions regarding Mortal Kombat.
Hopefully, this thread will become a sticky, so that all noobs will be aware of what can and can't be done in any MK game. Thanks for taking the time to read this thread, as it took me a shitload of time to write.

I'm not trying to be an ass, but for MK2 it says "Kintaro and Shang Tsung are once again NOT playable, unless using a hacked version." Shouldn't it say Shao Kahn? Other than that, the thread is great and should be stickied to end some of the threads asking the same thing over and over. (it's impossible to end ALL of them lol)

I dunno if you are just refering to the arcade versions, but Goro is playable in the home versions of MK4 - either way, I think clarification is needed there...
I also think you should add a little something explaining the truth behind the Reiko ending as well
Otherwise excellent thread, and I agree, should be stickied.

He's referring to Scorpion's fatality where a gang of Scorpions spawn and rush the loser.

Leave this out or say Ermac is heavily rumored but there's no believable proof to it's existance.
Also edit the Smoke in MKII part saying that he's in MAT2, but just not accessable due to lazy programming.

in UMK3 SNES version you can see what happens when it is blacked out in Sub-Zero's head freeze fatality. the opponent just stand's there in their pose of being scared then Sub-Zero does his victory stance. you were probably talking about the arcade version I am assuming though.
in MK2 don't forget that you can't play as Blaze or Hornbuckle. even Ermac was rumored at one point.
add that Rayden was the console version spelling and Raiden is the arcade spelling.

Yes, definately correct the Ermac thing for MK1 to say he is rumored and don't mention a chance of ermac or error macro being engraved in the life bar as there is no proof of that ever happening, and is extremely unlikely as that graphic was never found in the rom. Chances are there is no red ninja at all in MK1.
Also, a common misconception is that Rain is somehow accessible in the arcade beyond just the attraction mode animations of him, and he isn't.

Looks good so far. I'll try and remember some other stuff but I think all the major ones were covered.
Maybe make mention of Noob Saibot only being playable on Wavenet UMK3 over Wavenet itself.

is there a silver Goro in MK1? I've heard that rumor I don,t know how many times.
And what does the toasty guys does in MK3? everybody say that he doesn't do anything and I'm pretty sure he doesn't do anything as well, but why did they put him there? for decoration...?

It wasn't actually a silver goro, it was simply a glitch where it loaded someone else's pallet, I think Raiden's or Kano's and it gives Goro a bit of a metal look because its mostly grey and white.
I don't think toasty dude does anything. I think it was just there for gits and shiggles.

The Silver Goro is a pallet error in what, SNES MK1? If you beat endurance with Raiden I think, not sure exactly how you have to do it to make the game use Raiden's pallet for Goro's. He's not exactly a "silver" Goro, it's a really crappy looking pallet swap since the hues aren't in the right places, at least, that's what it looked like in the screen shots I've seen.
As for Dan Forden in MK3, nope, there's nothing special involved with "Toasty" in it.

Dude, when Forden pops up in MK3 in The Bank, you have to tap run, block, run to unlock the Keebler Elves. I thought you knew that shit.

Also, you should list that Jade is not in MK1. Remember in MKll when it says "Now you must fight a secret warrior from mortal kombat1"? Some people thought she was in it. So you should list that.
And also, about the screwed-up Goro, on the third endurance match, you have to be Raiden and do his Fatality. When Goro drops from the ceiling, his sprite will be all screwed up.

Maybe you put in that stupid things about the Arcade option entry,s.
There is no Kano Transformation in MK2.
There is no Raiden Transformation in MK3.
Shawn Attack,s are nothing.
Watchdogs are simply how much times the game runs completly the demo mode.
Performing a Living Forest Fatality in MK2 is bullshit.
Sub Zero has never ever done a Icebear Animality in MK2.
And as a last word, there are no more Secrets in MK1,2,3,U, 4 and DA and with a high percent not even in DE.
And there will be no secret in any of the next MK,s that is not discovered in 2 month,s after the release, simply because of the massive people that informating each other via the internet and because of things like gameshark and data scanning via PC.

So the rom version of UMK3 on Snes is wavenet?

Ermac's lifebar said Scorpion on it and the words "error macro" flashed before you fight him (only in the arcade though). Nimbus Terrafaux is in the mk1 arcade, but is very glitchy. when he walks forward, he looks like he's walking backwards, and when he roundhouse kicks he leg trips instead. he has no special moves exept his fatality (which has Johnny Cage's multiple head glitch), his lifebar says Scorpion, and his pit fatality doesn't work. to play as him, do the blood code when Reptile says look to la luna, the words "error macro" will flash. and Kitana is playable in the pc version of mk4

"So the rom version of UMK3 on Snes is wavenet?"
Whoops, sorry, yeah of course Noob and Rain are in SNES and Genesis UMK3, I really never include them when I talk about that stuff, but they aren't rumored to be in SNES since they are actually playable, Noob is always rumored to be playable on UMK3 since he's in the game, but not playable on the actual hardware version of regular UMK3. SNES UMK3 is nothing like Wavenet.
As for the other crap, this thread is supposed to be reserved for the truth behind the rumors. Therefore, understand there is no Nimbus, there is no Ermac in MK1, at all, never was.
There's nothing more to say about that.

whoa, dude. chill out. I meant do the sega blood code (lp,bl,lp,lk,lp,lp). it is coincedentally the same sequence to enact the glitch. I heard someone mention it so I tried it on an arcade and it worked. take a freakin chill pill, man.
