    SECRET CHARACTERS

    Mortal Kombat 4 characters artwork

    How to Unlock Meat

    Meat is a skinless combatant who made his debut in MK4. In order to unlock him, you need to complete the Group Mode. To play this mode, select “Group” at the bottom. You will then need to battle each character, one at at time, and win each match to conquer the mode! Once completed, choose a character at the Character Select Screen. A bloody skeleton will now replace the character you chose. Meat doesn’t have any of his own moves, and instead simply looks cool. He maintains all the same moves as the character you selected. You continue to play with Meat until you lose a match. If you lose, you will need to re-beat the Group Mode to play as Meat again.

    Here is a video of Meat in action (imitating Goro) [thx to TremorMK]

    How to Unlock Goro

    In order to play as the four-armed boss Goro, beat the game with Shinnok. Now, at the Character Select Screen, choose the “HIDE”(?) box, and select Shinnok while holding down Run+Block until the fight begins. If done correctly you’ll be playing as Goro at Goro’s Lair. Alternatively, you can simply access the Cheats Menu, then select the “HIDE”(?) box at the bottom of the Character Selection Screen. Then press Up, Up, Up, Left to highlight Shinnok’s icon. Now press Run + Block.

    How to Unlock Noob Saibot

    To play as the elusive shadow ninja, Noob Saibot, beat the game with Reiko. Once at the Character Select Screen, choose the “HIDE”(?) box, and then select Reiko while holding down Run+Block until the fight begins. You will now be playing as Noob. Alternatively, you can access the Cheats Menu in place of beating the game.

    Mortal Kombat 4 Game Boy Color Fatality Theater (thx to TremorMK)
    The GBC version of MK4 is 2D instead of 3D (naturally), so the developers had the interesting idea of actually playing a cut-scene of the 3D versions fatality for the fatalities in the GBC version. Here is what it looks like:
