            Reiko:
      "With the battle over and only himself left standing, Reiko returns 
back to rule the realm which he left. Once again as ruler supreme, he can 
continue the attack on earth as he did when leading the assault in the last 
Mortal Kombat." 

            Tanya:
      "Fooling Liu Kang into thinking of her as an ally, Tanya leads him into
a trap as Quan Chi and Shinnok put an end to the earths last and mightier warrior."

            Quan Chi:
      "As the victor of Mortal Kombat by defeating the earths warriors, Quan
Chi puts his own plans in motion as he destroys Shinnok with the amulet of 
power to reign as sorcerer supreme."

            Raiden:
      "After defeating Shinnok and his minions, Raiden has earned his place
amongst the elder gods. But to leave the realm he has protected, he chooses
Fugin as his successor and protector of earth."

            Sub-Zero:
      "As the conflict ends with Scorpion defeated, Sub-Zero is attacked by
the sorcerer Quan Chi. As he faces death, Scorpion uses his ancient power and
destroys Quan Chi. Leaving his longtime foe alive so that they might meet
again one day."

            Liu Kang:
      "Freeing earth from the hands of Shinnok, Liu Kang has also unknowingly
freed the realm of princess Kitana. Asking him to be by her side, Liu Kang
must refuse in order to be earths champion and protector should it fall under
attack again."

            Scorpion:
      "Defeating his arch-nemesis Sub-Zero, Scorpion learns the true identity
of the killer of his ancient clan and that it was Quan Chi. Banished back to
the Netherrealm, Scorpion surprises the sorcerer as they are both sucked into
the portal back to the Netherrealm."

            Fugin:
      "As the champion of Mortal Kombat, Fugin the wind god, becomes Raidens
successor as protector of the earth. Now he will lead earths forces into the 
next war against evil."

            Reptile:
      "After helping Quan Chi and Shinnok defeat earths warriors, Reptile 
asks a request to return back to his homeworld from Shinnok, but is repaid 
only with his own execution."

            Shinnok:
      (He has no ending)

========~-  VIII. Explanations  -~===========================================
=============================================================================

Q:    Why are there pictures of Johnny Cage, Sonya,
       and Kai on the back of the box?

A:    They originally had Johnny Cage instead of Quan Chi's, 
Kai instead of Liu Kang, and Sonya instead of Tanya. But later they changed 
the sprites so there were different characters. If you look on the back of 
the box you will see the old select screen (with the original fighters), a 
picture With Kai and Sonya fighting, and a picture of Sonya and Sub-Zero. Why
they would change it is anyone's guess. Maybe for endings?


---------~= Changes in GameBoy version =~------------------------------------

Lost Fighters: Jax, Jerik, Johnny Cage, Kai, Sonya, Goro, Noob Saibot, 
                and Meat

Modified Moves:
      Every character only has two moves and one fatality.

Lost Stages:
      There are only 5 stages in this terrible port. 1. Living Forest,  2. Reptiles 
Lair,  3. Elder Gods Palace,  4. Temple,  and 5. The stage that 
kinda looks like Goro's Lair, but the grafix are so bad you cant tell.

=============================================================================

Paul Courtney (me): I found out almost everything in this FAQ. That includes 
      the Scorpion Fatality glitch, the G.S. code to play as Shinnok, the 
"Mimic" code, Shinnok's moves, and more!! I tried to include everything I 
knew and could find. I also know a lot about emulation, that sort of helps to
find secrets. The title art is also by me. 

The Internet: for roms, emulators, and hex editors. I love technology!
