Freeze Your Oppoent in Mid-Air
This code entitles your opponent to freeze instantly in the air.  After you perform a knock-off on any stage, repeatedly press any attack button(eg.A,B,C, up or down C).  After your opponent starts to fall down they will freeze in mid-air.  This code works best at the sky stage.

Glacius' Killer Combo
Follow these steps word for word! Here goes: Begin with the Medium Liquidize, then immediately go into an Arctic Slam. On the fifth slam RIGHT after the victim bounces once, go with the Medium Liquidize again. DO NOT autodouble! When the liquidize lands, follow with Forward and Fierce Kick. Repeat the Medium Liquidize / Forward + Fierce Kick combination until you see the victim's energy stop moving (it should be around 60% depleted) then do the Arctic Slam again. Like before when the body bounces once, connect with another Medium Liquidize, only this time, AutoDouble this one. Do the Arctic Slam once again after the AutoDouble then for the insult, do the Fierce Liquidize for the juggle after the body bounces once. Do this in Ludicrous speed mode and it will be guaranteed to bring tears to your victim's eyes!

Level Select
In two-player mode you can select your starting level as follows. While selecting your character, hold any of the following button pairs.

Hint: If you'd prefer to play alone simply let the other player's timer run out. 

Code        Level
Up+QP       Wolf Castle
Down+QP     Bridge
Up+QK       Stonehenge
Down+QK     Dojo
Up+MP       Jungle
Down+MP     Dungeon
Up+MK       Museum
Down+MK     Spinal Ship
Up+FP       Space Ship
Down+FP     Street
Up+FK       Helipad
Down+MK     Sky Stage (both players must do this)

Orchid's 90-hit Combo
Begin with the Fierce Flik Flak with the AutoDouble. Then do a Medium Flik Flak with the AutoDouble. Do another Medium Flik Flak WITHOUT doing the autodouble then do Foward and Fierce Kick for the ForceDouble. IMMEDIATELY afterwards go into another Medium Flik Flak. Then another ForceDouble, then another Flik Flak. Repeat this about 6 or 7 more times.  After your last Medium Flik Flak, spring into the Fire Cat super linker. Do the ForceDouble again, then do the Medium Flak again, then IMMEDIATELY go into another Fire Cat super linker. Do this until all the super energy is depleted (a full bar yields 4 of these).  After the last Flak use the 5th ender (or if you're twiddle thumbs go into the Ultra !) to make it a 90+ hit combo. It's more than 90 but it only registers that far.

Permanet Sky Stage
Start a two-player game in Arcade mode and have both players select the Sky stage. Now kill one of them and let his continue timer run out. You'll play the remainder of the game in the sky stage until you reach Gargos.

Play as Gargos
To play as Gargos, press Z, A, R, Z, A, B during the story intro.

Power Stun Moves
The following moves for each fighter will stun an opponent instantly.  First, parry a normal attack (Back+QP).  Before the "parry flash" fades, counter with the appropriate move for each character.  Your opponent will get knocked down, plus when they get up they will be dizzy. 

Jago: Quick Tiger Fury (F, D, DF+QP)
Orchid: Quick Airbuster (F, D, DF+QK)
TJ Combo: Powerline (Charge B, F+FP)
Glacius: Ice Lance (D, DF, F+FP)
Fulgore: Quick Plasmaslice (F, D, DF+QP)
Sabrewulf: Sabre Flip (B, F+FK)
Maya: Cobra Bite (B, F+QP)
Kim Wu: Medium Firecracker (DF, D, DB+MP)
Tusk: Quick Conqueror (F, D, DF+QP)
Note: Spinal and Gargos have no Power Stun Moves because they do not parry.  Also, make sure the Cheap Juggles option is off for Fulgore and Sabrewulf's moves.

Secret Stage
In two-player mode, have both player choose their fighters by holding DOWN and pressing C-DOWN. If done correctly, you'll fight in the Secret Sky Stage with the Rare and Killer Instinct logos on the ground

Slo Mo's and Speed Ups
Almost every combo (including Ultras) can be sped up or slowed down.  To make the combo end very fast, simply press the button BEFORE you do the motions. i.e., for Jago's speed up Kick Finisher: Hold FK, half circle back, Release FK. To make a combo ender go in slo mo: Quickly do the motion on the control pad twice before pushing the button. Again, with Jago's Kick Finisher: half circle back, half circle back, FK. These will work on Ultra's just as well. Take a look at Orchid's and Sabrewulf's Slo Mo Ultras...cool!
