Story
NOTHING, NOTHING CAN PREPARE YOU!
500 years ago, the shapeshifter Shang Tsung™ was banished from the Outworld to the Mother Realm (Earth) for his crimes. There, with the aid of his pupil Goro™, a hideous half-human dragon, he was to atone for his crimes by unbalancing the furies of the realm, allowing his master Shao Kahn™ and his minions to enter the dominion and rule forever.
He was defeated.
He returned to the Outworld a failure, facing execution at the hands of Shao Kahn™, supreme ruler of the Outworld, the Astral Planes of Shokan and the surrounding kingdoms. With the apparent demise of Goro™, his fate seemed sealed. But Tsung™ told Kahn™ of his plan for revenge, a plot so evil and twisted even Kahn™ was persuaded to grant him one final opportunity to redeem himself. He cleverly lured his adversaries to the bizarre Outworld where they would face a new challenge – a tournament hosted by Shao Kahn™ himself.
Today, the Tournament Begins… Again!

THE ART OF KOMBAT II:
THE BASIC DEFENSIVE MOVE:
The art of Kombat is as it has been for thousands of years. A wise warrior will begin his training with the art of defense. Far more valuable than learning how to inflict blows is learning how to avoid or deflect them, for an opponent who attacks is an opponent who is vulnerable to attack. Defensive lessons are as follows (based on default settings):
CONTROL PAD ARROWS
Up
To Jump:
Press the CONTROL PAD UP
To Flip Forward or Back:
Press the CONTROL PAD UP + LEFT or RIGHT
Down

THE BASIC DEFENSIVE MOVES:
Once defense has been mastered, a warrior can begin to learn the fundamental offensive moves – the punches and kicks. In combination with strong defensive tactics, these moves are enough to defeat most foes. The fundamental offensive moves are as follows:
X button
To Kick (High):
Press the X BUTTON
A button
To Kick (Low):
Press the A BUTTON
B button
To Punch (Low):
Press the B BUTTON
Y button
To Punch (High):
Press the Y BUTTON
THE BASIC OFFENSIVE MOVES:
The advanced moves use the basic moves as building blocks to form powerful maneuvers. However, although they do more damage, they also are slower. The advanced moves are as follows:
To Uppercut:
Press CROUCH + HIGH PUNCH
To Foot Sweep:
Press AWAY + LOW KICK
To Roundhouse:
Press AWAY + HIGH KICK
To execute a Flying Punch:
JUMP or FLIP + LOW or HIGH PUNCH
To execute a Flying Kick:
JUMP or FLIP + LOW or HIGH KICK
SPECIAL MOVES:
While being a master of Kombat may be enough to win any Earth contest, winning a contest in the hostile Outworld requires more of a warrior. In preparation for this tournament, every warrior has perfected several special moves. These moves often draw upon spiritual or supernatural energies, extreme physical conditioning, or mutant abilities for their effectiveness, and can be especially potent, often devastating an opponent.
WARRIOR WISDOM:
- Patience is a warrior’s greatest ally. Wait for your opponent to attack, then counterattack him when he is most vulnerable.
- Timing is crucial to landing many moves. Practice often to learn timing secrets.
- With practice, a combination of moves can be learned which allow a warrior to hit his opponent several times before he has an opportunity to defend himself, making them an invaluable tool.
- Every warrior has different strengths and weaknesses in terms of speed and movement. Discovering these styles allows you to both use them better and kombat them better.

Kintaro™
With Goro™ missing, Kintaro™ steps up to take his place as ruler supreme of Shao Kahn’s™ armies. Stronger and more agile than his predecessor he is enraged by Goro’s™ defeat. Kintaro™ vows to take revenge on the Earth warriors responsible.
SHAO KAHN™
The supreme ruler of the Outworld, Shao Kahn™ governs the Astral Planes of Shokan and all surrounding kingdoms. Five hundred years ago he banished the shapeshifter Shang Tsung™ -into the Mother Realm (Earth) to pay for his crimes. Shang Tsung™ was to unbalance the furies and create a weakness in Earth’s dimensional gates. This weakness in the gates would allow Kahn™ and his minions to forever walk the Earth and plague its inhabitants to a dark and chaotic existence. Only then would Shang Tsung™ be cleared of his offense and the curse be lifted.
How to play
LET THE TOURNAMENT BEGIN!
- 1. Make sure the power switch is OFF.
- 2. Insert your Mortal Kombat® II Game Pak as described in your Super Nintendo Entertainment System manual.
- 3. Turn the power switch ON. When you see the Mortal Kombat® II title screen, press the START button to advance to the Options screen.
START begins a one-player battle for the title of Grand Champion. First, however, a fighter must be selected. The warrior selection screen has pictures of all the warriors available to a player. To select a warrior, move the colored frame onto a warrior using the CONTROL PAD ARROWS. When your choice is framed, press the A or B button to select him. To select a warrior randomly, leave the frame on the initial warrior (Liu Kang™ for Player 1, Reptile for Player 2) and press UP and the START BUTTON.
Should a second player desire to join the tournament, he may do so at any time by pressing his START BUTTON. This will then return both players to the “Choose Your Fighter” screen where they again must choose their warriors. Both players may choose the same warrior. When this happens, the two will be distinguished by color. The players will then battle one another with the winner continuing onward in the tournament, and the loser’s game ending.
If you wish to choose one of the various options within the OPTION MENU, press the D-PAD to the RIGHT and press START. The OPTION MENU will present you with the following options:
MUSIC
allows you to turn the game music on or off.
DIFFICULTY
allows you to choose whether the game will be Very Easy, Easy, Medium, Hard or Very Hard.
HANDICAP
is a feature designed to let two players of different skill levels battle on an equal basis. You can increase or decrease your handicap by moving the D-PAD RIGHT OR LEFT. HANDICAP only works when in 2-player mode.
BUTTON CONFIGURATION
allows you to select which buttons will operate which moves. To select a move, use the UP and DOWN CONTROL PAD ARROWS. To change the control, press the button you desire to use when the move is selected. Keep in mind that when you change one button, the move which originally used that button is also switched. To leave BUTTON CONFIGURATION, press the START BUTTON.
To exit the options screen and return to the main title screen, press the START BUTTON.
To pause the games, press the start button on the battle plan.
RULES OF THE OUTWORLD
The Outworld tournament first tests a warrior’s fighting skill by pitting him against each of the formidable Earth warriors. In all Mortal Kombat II battles, meters in the upper-left and upper-right corners of the screen measure the health of the warriors.
The meters begin each round completely green, but each time a warrior is hit, an amount of red signifying the degree of injury is added to his meter. When a warrior’s bar becomes completely red, he is knocked out and the round goes to his opponent. Should time run out before either kombatant is knocked out, the warrior with less injury is declared the victor. The first warrior to win two rounds takes the match and moves on to his next opponent.
NOTE: If five rounds pass without a match winner, both kombatants will be disqualified from the tournament.
Once a warrior has defeated the other kombatants in the tournament, he then takes on the first of his Outworld hosts, the demon Shang Tsung™ . His youth restored by his master Shao Kahn™, Tsung™ possesses both powerful magic and considerable physical skill.
Should a warrior defeat Tsung™, his next opponent is the massive Kintaro™. Kintaro™ is of the same race of half-human dragons which spawned Goro™.
Enraged at his comrade’s death at the hands of a mere mortal, Kintaro™ sought entrance to the tournament to seek revenge. Shao Kahn™ granted him this privilege in exchange for his servitude.
Defeating Kintaro™ proves a warrior worthy of meeting Shao Kahn™, supreme ruler of the Outworld, in battle. Defeat him to end his rule and become the Supreme Warrior in the Outworld realm!
