- In order to perform some of the more difficult moves, you can hold down the
 Block button while keying in on the move. This will prevent the character
  from moving or jumping during the keying in. Let go of the Block button as
  the last button in the sequence is released.

- On the Game Boy, Fatalities can be performed anywhere, except Reptile's.
  His cannot be performed close to the opponent.

- To perform Babalities, you cannot press Punch in the final round. If you
  do, you won't be able to perform it

- The Stage Fatality can only be performed on the Kombat Tomb stage.

Reset: Select + Start + B + A.  It resets like most Game Boy games, but if
       you have enabled Smoke, Smoke will still be there.

Fight Smoke: On any stage, if an uppercut makes Dan Forden come up from the
     corner, press Down + Start really fast. If your timing was right than
you will be transported to Goro's Lair. Smoke has the same moves as Scorpion,
and is very fast. Five well-placed roundhouses easily bring him down, even on hard!
Losing to Smoke does not waste a life.

Fight Jade: On the round before the question mark, win two times only using
     the Kick button. If you did it right you will be transported to Goro's
Lair. Jade is immune to any projuectile, even Sub-Zero's Ground Freeze and Kitana's
Fan Lift. She has the same moves as Kitana and is very fast. Losing
to Jade does not waste a life.


---------~= GameShark Codes =~-----------------------------------------------

 ?       :  Infinite Time
010513DE :  Infinite Lives
014020DD :  Player 1 Invincible
010020DD :  Player 1 No Health
 ?       :  Player 2 Invincible
 ?       :  Player 2 No Health
 ?       :  Tower Modifier
010*01DD :  Play As Anyone

note: Fill in the * with who you want to play as. Characters go from left to
     right on the select screen. Therefor; 0 is Liu Kang, 5 is Mileena and
      so on. (9 is Shao Kahn and 4 is Smoke)


---------~= Glitches =~------------------------------------------------------

      Kitana: Do her Fan Lift and then the Fatality.

      Jax: 2-3 Head Nock Off: Hold Kick, Forward, Forward, Forward, Up,
           release Kick.

      Scorpion: When it's Finishing time, jump over your opponent and do his Fatality
after passing them in the air. He will stand up in mid air with his mask off and
fall to the ground. He will then blow the fire in the opposite direction that your
opponent is. Although it just touches the ground, your opponent still catches on
fire and explodes.

      Shang Tsung: Do his Fatality, then as quickly as you can; start doing
his Stage Fatality. He should do his Soul Sucker, then let go of the crippled opponent
and just stand there. Your opponent's body will stay in the air just
as it was when you were holding them. The game freezes.

    ( I dont want to waste my time if its not going to help anyone )


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

            Kintaro lives?...

The following were in the HEX codes:

  "...SCORPION WINS...JAX WINS...KINTARO WINS...SHAO KAHN WINS...SMOKE WINS...JADE
WINS..."

Now is it just me or is that Kintaro's name I see? This is no joke. While his name
got programmed in I dont know about his sprites. I hope somebody will
take a GameShark and try to find a code to get him.


        -~= Smoke and Jade =~-
      I don't think you can play as Smoke and Jade, even with the GameShark.
If I used a GameShark and typed in a 0 for the code to play as anyone, I would play
as Liu Kang. If I typed in a 9 I would play as Shao Khan. Therefor, if I
want to see if there are any secret characters, all I have to do is go through typing
in all the numbers and letters and see who I play as. (I also looked
in the hex codes for names) Anyway, there were no secret characters that I
played as. 8,A,B,C,D,E,and F don't play as anyone, the game just crashes. If
it did, it would have to be a secret character because 0-7 are the normal kombatants
and 9 is Kahn. All I can think of is the programmers took Kitana
and Scorpion and made them faster. (and added "smoke" sprites to Smoke)  That
way they wouldn't have to waste memory on more characters.

I've heard that you can play as Smoke and Jade with the G.S., but it has never worked
on mine or any of my roms, so I doubt it works.


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

Lost Fighters: Bararka, Johnny Cage, Kano, Kung Lao, Sonya, Kintaro, and
                Noob Saibot.

Modified Moves:
      Scorpion: Doesn't have Leg takedown
      Shao Kahn: Doesn't have taunts

Lost Stages:
      You only get to fight in three stages on the GameBoy version. They are:
The Kombat Tomb, Pit II, and the secret stage; Goro's Lair.  It seems strange
why they would include the Pit II if you cant knock them off it. But in MK3
they included every stage fatality stage, but you couldnt even do a friggen
stage fatality.
