Secret Character

It's no secret that Ed Boon loved to lace his games with secrets and mystery, so it's really no surprise that a new secret has been discovered in MK, MK II, and MK III over 20 years after their initial release.
This video shows how to enter the menus from any of the arcade cabinets and what you can do inside of them.

You can enter these menus from any point in attract mode, and the method is nearly the same for all three games. You press P1 and P2 block buttons a certain number of times in rapid succession in order to get them.
MK (P1 Block, P2 Block, P1 Block, etc):
5, 10, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4
MK II:
5, 10, 2, 8, 2
MK III:
5, 10, 3, 1, 2, 2, 3, 4
Interesting to note, you can actually activate any of the "Ultimate Kombat Kode" effects in UMKIII using the EJB menu. You can unlock secret characters, play the Fatality exhibition, and even play the stupid hard Galaga game.
