Mortal Kombat (Gameboy)
From UltimateMK.com
This version bringed a lot of noise back in days because of the playable Goro. The fans started to think that its possible in other versions of the game, which of course was not true. Although there is no Cage in this version he is still playable via GameGenie. The gameplay is similar to GameGear/MasterSystem versions but alot slower than them plus you got the famious "flying hits" which are something like a trademark for gameboy versions of MK.- Release Date: September 13, 1993 ("Mortal Monday")
- Players: 1-2
- Characters: 8 (6 playable and 2 bosses)
- Finishers: 1 Fatality per character (excluding the bosses)
- Stages: 3 (The Pit, Courtyard, and Goro's Lair)
- Missing: 2 characters (Johnny Cage and Reptile)

Secrets
Playing as Goro
After beating Shang Tsung, as the credits roll by wait for the words "The End" to appear. Once they do, immediatly press and hold UP + LEFT + SELECT + A. Keep holding these buttons down until the words "Goro lives on... AS YOU" appear. If you recieved a high score, release the buttons and enter your initials (it should later say "Goro lives on... AS YOU"). As Goro, do not lose a fight or you will lose control of him. Once the code has been entered, certain text will change (as listed below).| Kano | = Bob |
