I can't see why not. MAME is a direct port of the arcade and I remember an arcade version of MKI that was either set to easy or very easy and we were still able to fight Reptile.

Could be wrong though.

I can see why not. You can't fight Reptile in version 5 of MK1. Only Y-Unit 3 an 4. But no, the difficulty has nothing to do with it, you just have to play against the computer 7 or 8 cycles of the stages before the shadows appear, and they appear once every 7 or 8 cycles.

Well, that would do it.

Fighting against Reptile is possibly the most the difficult hidden to fight against in all of MK history. The conditions are so specific and limited that not many people have actually fought Reptile in an arcade in comparison to the amount of people who have tried.

I've got revision 5.0 T-unit 0, in the arcade menu it wrote 'number of reptile apparition' and 'reptile wins' so I assume that he is in this version

I know it says that and you still cannot fight him in it.

ok so what you are saying MK2Kungbroken(and according to the MK Bible:

I can't fight Reptile even if he is in a newer version? that sucks, so he was removed?

It's really not possible to tell conventionally if Reptile was entirely removed per say, but the ability to trigger what would be considered "Reptile Battle" is no longer there. I don't understand why they would do that but they did.
