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.
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.
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.
Using the one button fatality code
After activating the [944]-[944] Kombat code, pick a thing and press [Down]x2, [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].
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:
Exception $03: Address Error
Access Address: 00FF0497
Access Mode: Read, Instr
Address Space: Supervisor Program
Instruction Reg: 6001
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.
