----------Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero----------
I'm putting this guide on my site since it's based on a fighting game, has moves and attacks similar to a fighting game, and has lots of codes and tricks like any good fighting game.
I will not have a detailed walk-through of the game since that's not the point of this guide and since that takes away a lot of the fun of finding out stuff for yourself.
Here you will find the moves, combos, tricks, and secrets of the game.
---Key:
LK = tap low kick
HK = tap high kick
LP = tap low punch
HP = tap high punch
BLK = tap block button
F = move or tap joystick in the direction toward your opponent
B = move or tap joystick in the direction away from your opponent
D = move or tap joystick down
QCF = (quarter circle forward) rotate joystick from D to F in one smooth, continuous motion
QCB = (quarter circle back) rotate joystick from D to B in one smooth, continuous motion

---Things You Need to Know:
Using ice based special moves require that you have enough of your ice meter filled. The more powerful the move (the more experience points required to get the move) the more of your ice meter it will use up.
You get experience points by beating up the enemies. Combos give you more experience than normal moves.
If you want to face in the opposite direction then you must use the "Turn" button. Unlike in most side-scrolling games, you normally just walk backwards instead of turning when you press back.
---Levels---
---The Shaolin Temples:
Beware of the falling pillars. Pillars only come down when something moves underneath them so the best thing to do is trigger them with a quick standing kick such as a LK but from just the right distance. Your attack should go under the pillar to activate it put not too far or you will be caught. While a pillar is rising up after being triggered you should run under it but be careful of pillars right after it.
Boss: Scorpion - You may finish Scorpion with the Uppercut Fatality when you beat him.
---The Wind Element:
When jumping from one spinning platform to the next remember that you can control the speed and distance of your jump by holding back while in the air.
Boss: Fujin (God of Wind) - After draining all of Fujin's life, be careful when he begins to form a giant tornado in the center of the area that will throw you off of the cliff. To avoid this you must quickly walk to the left edge as soon as his life is gone and slowly walk toward the very edge of the cliff or hold down/left when the tornado starts. If you do this just right then Sub-Zero will hang on to the edge of the cliff as Fujin explodes.
---The Earth Element:
Be careful of the frequent earthquakes that occur as they will cause parts of the ground to cave in dropping you onto a deadly spike. However, some of this pits actually lead to power-up items so walk slowly and be careful.
Floating monks can be frozen as they are teleporting.
Boss: God of Earth - If you manage to get him into the very center of the room then you can drop the hanging platform on him using the switch found at the far right end of the room.
---The Water Element:
This whole level is basically a maze. Be careful of where you climb down and always remember which way you came.
In the place where you use the triangle shaped key you will have to be ready to run out of the area quickly. As soon as you insert the key the room will fill with water and the door will start to shut. To avoid drowning you must run and Slide under the door. You will grab the rope just outside so don't worry about falling.
Boss: God of Water - He freezes easily.
---The Fire Element:
Switch-controlled platforms lower far from where you turn them on so you have to run quickly from one end of an area to the other to get on the lowering platform.
Boss: God of Fire - He cannot be frozen.
---The Prison of Souls:
When you are thrown into the prison cell you will meet with Shinnok or the reincarnated Scorpion. If you did not use the Fatality on Scorpion then you will speak with Shinnok without having to do any fighting; however, if you did use the Fatality on Scorpion then you will have to fight him again. This time around Scorpion will has his Teleport Punch and Spear.
Hold the "Use" button to activate elevators when you have the key and press HK to go up or LP to go down.
Boss: Executioner Bot - Nothing special.
Trick: Shinnok's Statue - After beating the Executioner Bot and getting the key to the third level, go to the left to find an elevator that leads to a small platform. On the platform you will find an urn that gives you super strength. Go all the way back to the end of the stage until you find the large statue that looks like Shinnok. Use the urn and you can knock the statue down using a jump kick.
---The Bridge of Immortality:
Boss: Robots - There are three robots in this stage. Two have keys that you need.
Boss: Dinosaur - He's hard to find in this level. Watch when he breathes fire.
---Shinnok's Fortress:
Hold the "Use" button to activate elevators and press HK to go up or LP to go down.
Boss: Jataaka and Kia - Nothing special.
Boss: Sareena - You may finish Sareena with the Uppercut Fatality when you beat her.
Quan Chi's Teleporter - After defeating the three female bosses you will get the crystals they hold. Place the crystals at the three outdoor areas of the fortress at its highest peak. Be sure to set the eastern and western crystals (the ones that point to the center) first then the center one.
Boss: Quan Chi - If you used the Fatality to kill Sareena then you will have to defeat Quan Chi by yourself; however, if you didn't use the Fatality on Sareena she will use Quan Chi's Teleporter to attack Quan Chi when you have him at about 10% energy. Sareena will uppercut him into the pit.
Final Boss: Shinnok - Touching his force field will not harm you but it will throw you back. He cannot use the force field while throwing a projectile so you can freeze him just when he throws a projectile at you. If you want to beat him then you must freeze him, get behind him (there is a teleporter at the side of the room), stand close to him and hit "Use" to steal the amulet while he's frozen. You may have to freeze him again after getting to his other side. After stealing the amulet you should quickly run into the portal because he will turn into a monster and go crazy.
