LP = tap low punch
HP = tap high punch
BLK = tap block button
RN = tap run button
F = move or tap joystick in the direction toward your opponent
B = move or tap joystick in the direction away from your opponent
U = move or tap joystick up

QCB = (quarter circle back) rotate joystick from D to B in one smooth, continuous motion
HCB = (half circle back) rotate joystick from F to D to B in one smooth, continuous motion
[] = brackets indicate that the button should be held while performing the rest of the move command, be sure to release the button after performing the joystick motion for the move to work properly
[BLK] QCF+LP = hold block, QCF+LP, release BLK
* = moves with this symbol can be performed in the air and on the ground unless labeled as (air only)
stuns opponent = opponent will be unable to block for about 2 seconds if the move hits
follow up = opponent will be thrown into the air unable to block allowing an opportunity for a free hit
---Finishing Move Distances Key:
very close = get as close to your opponent as possible
one jump away = get as close to your opponent as possible and jump back, then take one step forward, or you can estimate the distance
just inside sweep range = be close enough to your opponent so that you would be able to foot sweep them with your foot passing between their feet, or you can estimate to be about two full steps away
sweep range = the maximum range of your foot sweep, or about three steps away
just outside sweep range = be just outside the maximum range of your foot sweep, or about four steps away
full screen = get as far away from your opponent as possible
just inside full screen = a full step in from a full screen away
---Basic Moves:
Uppercut = D+HP
Throw = F+LP (very close) (UNBLOCKABLE)
Roundhouse = B+HK
Foot Sweep = B+LK
---Other Things You Need to Know:
Most special moves and basic attacks will cause your opponent to take a little bit of damage if they block.
Hold BLK to block a high attack or D+BLK to block a low attack. Special moves that hit low can be blocked while standing but basic attacks that hit low must be blocked while crouching. All attacks that hit high can be blocked while crouching.

Ultimate Kombat Kode - MK, Dragon, Skull, Dragon, Yin Yang, Yin Yang, Yin Yang, Yin Yang, 3, ?.
After losing a one player game, wait for the continue screen to disappear, then on side one tap: HP=1, BLK=9, HK=2, on side two tap: HP=2, LP=2, BLK=2, LK=3, HK=4. This will make Smoke a permanent character in the center of the selection screen.
To access Smoke on the Playstation, you must enter the Ultimate Kombat Kode (Playstation), or see the "Cheat Menu" section below.
Ultimate Kombat Kode (Playstation) - Dragon, MK, Dragon, Goro, Skull, Goro.
At the copyright screen, rotate the control pad on controller one, right, down, left, up, right, this will make the UKK screen appear, then tap R1=1, triangle=6, circle=9, X=6 on controller one.
To access Smoke on the SNES, hold left+A at the copyright screen when you turn on the system, then hold right+B at the Williams Entertainment screen (next screen), finally hold X+Y at the MK3 title screen, or see the "Cheat Menu" section below.
To access Smoke on the Genesis, tap A, B, B, A, down, A, B, B, A, down, up, up at the MK3 title screen, or see the "Cheat Menu" section below.
To access Smoke on PC CD-ROM, type "cd MK3", then hit enter, then type "MK3 666", and hit enter.
To morph into Smoke with Shang Tsung, Smoke must be selectable. The morph only works on Genesis and SNES.
---Play as Bosses (home versions only):
To access Motaro and Shao Kahn on PC CD-ROM, type "cd MK3" at the DOS-prompt, then hit enter, then type "MK3 666 1000000", and hit enter. (This will also access Smoke.)
To access Motaro and Shao Kahn on Genesis and SNES, see the "Cheat Menu" section below.
---Notes on Base Combos:
Base combos are best performed after a stun or after running in using the "run" button. The button taps must be very quick and precise to perform the combos. Base combos must be performed very close to your opponent.
---Notes on the Run Button and Run Meter:
The Run button will allow you to run across the screen in the direction of the joystick. The run button can only be used if the run meter, located below the power bars, is completely green. The bar turns red when the button is pressed, when a base combo is performed, or when some special moves are performed, and will not turn back to green for a few seconds.
---Finishing Move Notes:
---When to Perform Finishing Moves:
Any Finishing Move must be performed after "Finish Him/Her" appears on the screen. You will have about 5 seconds to activate the Finishing Move.
---Positioning and the Block Button:
In order to prevent your character form walking forward or back when performing the command for a Finishing Move, you may hold BLK while inputting the command. However, you must release BLK before hitting the final button in the Finishing Move for it to work unless the Finishing Move command requires U to be pressed in which case you may hold BLK through the entire command including the final button.
---Babality and Friendship Requirements:
To perform a Babality or Friendship, you cannot use the BLK button during the winning round.
A Babality or Friendship can be performed from anywhere on the screen past sweep range.
---"Pit 3," "Tower," and "Subway" Fatality Requirements:
These fatalities must be done very close to your opponent.
Note: Subway Fatality can only be done if you do not Uppercut your opponent during your match in the Subway, or they will go through the ceiling where the rest of the battle will continue on The Streets above.
---Animality Requirements:
To perform an Animality, you must be on the third round and perform a Mercy.
Mercy - [RN] D, D, D, D (Distance: full screen away) Same for all characters.
It must be the third round when "Finish Him/Her" appears to perform a Mercy. After performing a Mercy, your opponent will revive and have another chance to attack you at your present amount of strength, but one hit will kill them and make "Finish Him/Her" appear again. After "Finish Him/Her" reappears you may perform your character's Animality.
---Tricks and Codes:
---Random Select:
To let the computer randomly select your fighter, hold U and press Start on the player select screen on your starting position; Shang Tsung for player 1, and Liu Kang for player 2.
---Jump Through Backgrounds:
Uppercut your opponent on the "Subway", "Bank", or "Soul Chamber" stage and they will go through the ceiling to a different fighting area where the rest of the match will take place.
---Stealth Select (SNES version only):
Rotate the control pad left, down, right, up, left on controller one, or right, down, left, up, right on controller
two. This will make the words "Stealth Select" appear in place of your character at the selection screen. Move the invisible cursor, listening as you go, over the character you wish to choose, but do not select him, instead, leave the cursor there and wait for the selection time to run out. This will give your opponent little time to adapt to your character since they cannot see it until the VS. screen.
---Endurance Mode:
To play a two player 8-on-8 endurance match on the SNES, hold L+R and hit Start at the Start/Options screen, and on the Genesis, hold A+C and hit Start at the Start/Options screen, or see the SNES only, Genesis only, or
Playstation only Encryption Kodes below.
Tap left and right to choose your fighter, then hit A to go on to the next space. Hit B and the computer will randomly select the fighter for that space. Select the Dragon symbol (Genesis), or ? (SNES) instead of a fighter and hit A to have the computer randomly select the fighter for that space without you knowing who it is until it becomes that fighter's turn. Hold U and hit Start on the first space to let the computer randomly select all your fighters.
The match is like an elimination tournament, where the first two characters fight until one loses, then the next in line after the defeated character jumps in and continues to fight the winner at his present amount of strength, this goes on continuously until one player defeats all 8 of the other player's
fighters, without having his 8 fighters defeated first. The player who defeats all 8 of the other player's characters first is declared winner of one round, then the next round begins with the same first fighters as the first round, you must win two rounds to win the endurance match.
---Galaga:
Play to battle 100 on a two player game and you will be able to play a game of the original Galaga.
