Closing Statement *************** *1.Welcome* *************** Welcome to my Mortal Kombat Master system Faq! I Checked at gamefaqs.com, to see if there was an FAQ for this game, Alas, there is not, and since I was bored I decided to write one anyway not that it'll get read much... but I can at least hope! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ************************************************** *2. Game info/What's missing in the Game* ************************************************** The sega master system port of Mk was released in 1993, and as far as I know, only in the PAL countries, since the only markets where the Sega master system was sucessful were the Euopean and Australia/New Zeleand Markets. It was ported by probe software, who later was also responsible for the MKII port, and many other Master system Games. The game is a fairly down version of the Coin-Op, It only features 6 combatants (Kano is missing) and Two of the areas (goro's lair and the pit, which dosen't have the stage fatality I might add) The fighters have all of their speical moves intact, including the Fatalities. The game features both boss Characters, Goro and shang Tsung. As far as I know, Reptile is not in the game. Since there are no shadows flying across the moon in the pit stage, I'm assuming he is not in there at all (if anybody knows for sure, and how to get him. please email me) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ****************** *3. Moves List* ****************** Here is a complete list of moves for all of the fighters available in the game: BASIC MOVES ----------------------- These are moves that all of the fighters can perform Punch: button 1 Kick: button 2 Block: hold back and press button 1 Roundhouse kick: Hold back and press button 2 Foot sweep: Hold down and back, and press button 2 Crouching kick: Hold down and press button 2 Uppercut: Hold down and press button 1 Fly kick: press button 2 while jumping Fly punch: press button 1 while jumping SPECIAL MOVES --------------------------- These are the character-specific moves for each fighter *SUB-ZERO* Ice blast- down, forward, punch Slide- hold down back+puch+kick Fatality- forward, down, forward, punch (up close) *SONYA BLADE* Leg Grab- hold down+punch+kick Energy Rings- down, forward, punch Flying punch- Back, forward, punch Fatality- back, back, forward, forward, punch (about half the screen away) *JOHNNY CAGE* Fireball- back, forward, punch Nut punch- hold down+punch+kick Shadow kick- back, forward, kick Fatality- forward, forward, forward, Punch (up close) *LIU KANG* Fireball- forward, forward, punch Flying kick- forward, forward, kick Fatality- Hold punch and rotate the pad 360 degrees clockwise (up close) *RAYDEN* Electrical Blast- down, forward, punch Dive attack- back, back, forward Fatality- back, back, back, forward, Punch (about 1/3 of the screen away) *SCORPION* Spear- back, back, punch Teleport punch- down, back, punch Fatality- hold block, Up Up (close) must be done really fast!! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ************* *4. Cheats* ************* *THE BLOOD CODE* ahh... yes, the fabled blood code. something that every sega port of MK1 had and the master system port is certainly no exception. Why they couldn't just had an option to turn the blood on in the menu rather than having to enter a cheat code I have no idea... but anyway, here is the code: When you first turn the game on, wait for all of the opening screens to cycle through, and when it gets to a screen "mortal kombat has many codes, but does it have one?" screen press: button 2, button 1, button 2, down, up. If you were sucessful, there will be an exlposion type noise, and the message "now entering kombat" will appear on the screen. when you start the game... Voila! there is the blood! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *********** *5. Hints* *********** *Always mix your moves up a little. Doing the same move over and over again is a sure way to lose, and the computer controlled fighters will anticipate your moves *Always try to do combos if possible. rather than walking up and punching the one or twice, or uleashing a flurry of punches, mix them up to form combos, a good starting combo is to jump in with a flying kick, foot sweep, and then an uppercut. Roundhouse kicks also work well too. *Try to master all of the fighters, and their moves. being good with every fighter is better than having one favourite that you use all of the time, this is especially true against the boss fighters, as certain fighters are better suited at defeating them than others. *If you find yourself trapped against a wall, and you are getting the crap kicked out of you try using a quck move to push them away from you. good moves include crouching kicks and foot sweeps etc..., while these may not do much damage compared to the more powerful moves, they will knock your opponent back, and give you a chance to get out of there before getting killed. Other moves that work well in this situation are moves that propel your character forward, or away from your attacker, such as Rayden's dive attack, Sub-zero's Slide, Johnny Cage's Shadow kick and Scorpions Teleport punch. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ********************* *6.
