- Ever play a game from your past and have a flood of memories just hit you all of a sudden? Well that happened during this playthrough. I didn’t learn EVERYTHING about beating the arcade from this version. Kintaro made me realize that. Watch and see what I mean.
Enjoy!

Great memories. MK2 on SNES, watching Beavis and Butthead, and listening to Nirvana. It never got better than this.
Wish the 90's would comeback
@@BigBoss-zi5ssIn another 66 years and it will be the 90s once again.
Huh, huh there're cool.
And watching my dad porn collection that I found under his bed 😂
Literally the reason I got a SNES. I was a diehard SEGA Head, but I’ll never forget getting MK2 for my Genny, getting soaked in a torrential rainstorm on the way home from the store, and being so disappointed when I got home, selected my fighter and just got a twang sound instead of Shao Khan’s voice.
It still played great, but the voices were so integral to the experience. So I got a SNES just for MK2 and, as it turned out, plenty of other great games. Which is why I still, to this day, buy all consoles.
Visually it looked better than the Sega Genesis version also. Everything about the SNES version was superior than the Genesis version in my opinion.
You are a console King! I used to love getting all the consoles as well, my older brother and myself had everything. Unfortunately he took everything years ago, and so I had to basically start my collection over again. Oh well, it’s been fun so far. Thanks for sharing your story my friend I appreciate it 👊🏼
I had this on Genesis, but I used to play the SNES version in the electronics department at Walmart while my parents shopped. Sometimes I could organize tournaments with my brothers and other kids there. Oh the memories!
Ohhh you were the bossy kid I always thought had good ideas and nobody else did. Cool man haha
The SNES and the 32X version were the best console versions for awhile in the 90s.
I remember playing this one so much at a friends house but his grandma had the heater on super high so I remember the game and that heat in the room lol
MK2 is still amazing.
Lol it’s funny what we remember sometimes lol
@@BushyStallion lol yep. I’m 41 now and grew up with the first MK1 and up. Awesome content 👍🏻👍🏻
The appearance of the Shadow Priests in this game were based on Emperor Palpatine in the Star Wars series.
I like the Kung Lao teleport sound effect on this. Kintaro and Kitana also use this sound effect I think.
Great video! Thanks for sharing, always enjoy these playthrough's. And after all these videos, I just notice how amazing the character design is, as in costumes and fighting moves. No wonder they have survived for generations and are so iconic. Watching Sub and that ice-blue ninja outfit / mask, it's so simple but so amazingly cool (no pun intended) and equally with Scorpion. Kung Lao and his hat, Cage and his shades, Jax and the arms, Kitana and her fans...they were designed so well and look amazing. 👊
I love your comments my friend, a great observer and lover of the classics! There’s nothing like them, and you hit the nail on the head with your words. These games will never die! Thank you 🙏🏽 👊🏼
@@BushyStallion No chance of these games fading away when we have ambassador's like you repping the glory days! Keep them coming Shang Fun! 📢📢
@@GelNerd absolutely! 👍🏼
I think my brothers and I played this version more than any other fighting game on the SNES, even well into the PS1 era.
I love this version of Mortal Kombat 2. It’s very close to the Arcade in almost every way.
Probably my most played SNES game. Sculptured absolutely killed it with this version. All this on a 24-meg cart. With 8 more megs they could've thrown Kano & Sonya in there as hidden bonus fighters & got the opening screens in there too, but it's really hard to complain about anything.
Well Biff if only we could go back to 1985 in our Delorean and have the programmers redo this game then this present 2024 would be SO different! Thanks for the comment 😂
@@BushyStallion - Screw that. I'd just go back & live it up in my Pleasure Paradise with all my winnings from the Almanac
I had this version as a kid too. I used to love fighting against Kintaro. I used to have the big floor model TV in the living room turned up loud as hell, the crowd roar after each round used to get me so hype. Damn I miss those times
I agree, MK 2 for SNES is the best home port of the game overall for that time especially. I had to sneak over to my friend's place down the block because my mom didn't want me playing it lol. My dad thought it was cool though haha. I feel like that's most cases for us 80's and 90's kids growing up haha.
Indeed, it was 😂
@@greensun1334 Yup! lol 👍😁
I grew up with the megadrive version in mk2 and Noone I knew had the SNEZZ version…. I need to get on this one tbh!
It's interesting how Johnny Cage is dressed in red in this version instead of arcade blue
Shao Khan doesn't laugh when Kintaro is in Danger if you notice.
Cuz Kintaro would whoop the lima beans outta him.
I never noticed that, good ear! 👊🏼
When I was younger I was obsessed with the blood. Which is why I was disappointed with the first SNES mk game. Of course as an adult I do like it better now. Anyways before mk 2 came out on SNES. I of course thought there'd be no blood either. So I was like what kind of fatalities would it have on SNES. And I couldn't think of any. Of course the first time I saw kids playing it and it had blood. I was like wow awesome. Another kid watching had asked the kid playing. What is the blood code. The kid said there is no blood code. It's in it already. I was super(no pun intended) happy!
This one gives me nostalgia. MK 2 for the SNES was the first MK game I had ever played.
Not a bad game at all to be your first.. I still remember the first game I ever played, Pac-Man on Atari 2600 in 1983. Holy crap I’m old.
One of the greatest SNES games.
Agreed 👍🏼
MK2 was always my favorite. Not sure how familiar you are with the Mugen engine, but there is a MK2 Mugen called “Mortal Kombat 2 Remix” and it is absolutely spectacular. It’s a free download. Highly recommended
I love the tracks on this game! SNES version was soooo good! 🍻🤘🏼💪🏼🔥
Awesome video. This is the version I had. I dreamed of having an arcade perfect port back in the day especially because mk2 was in the arcade of the $1.50 movie theater worked at. This version had the same jump back computer glitch as the arcade which Is super impressive. As you stated the timing is a bit different but it's truly all there in the snes port. MK2 is truly in my top 5 of all time games list. Peace.
Man you seriously love this game, thanks for sharing the snes version is the only version I own
I think the reason they don't have the actors' names on the kredit screen is because by October 1994, Daniel Pessina and Midway had parted ways due to creative/royalty/ownership conflicts, and on the home versions, just decided to omit actor names for simplicity's sake. When the arcade games was released in 1993, this was still not an issue. By MK3 this was solved.
this version was so good. but just always makes me think how great the original mortal kombat would have been on snes if it had blood and the original fatalities. 😭
Plus the laggy controls
The input lag is the biggest problem with MK1 on SNES...
@@greensun1334 Agreed. I would have forgiven the lack of blood and fatalities if the controls were on point. I mean you got some interesting fatalities from Raiden, and Sub-Zero. Not to mention Lu Kang, Scorpion, and Sonya's fatalities were arcade accurate. It was Kano, and Johnny Cage's fatalities that sucked.
@@chadkirk150 exactly my point. Raiden and Sub Zero's fatalities in SNES MK1 maybe even inspired their fatalities in MK2.
I forgot about the controls! Used to only play that game at a friend’s house. By the time I got SNES MKII was just coming out, so never owned the original.
I never got to play this version and by the looks of it it looks great comparing to the other home versions we had at the time. That said every hit you give is like a memory being unlock to us. I do have this version now and will do a play true myself. Thanks for the awsume video my friend.
No problem dude, enjoy your play through of this, it’s an incredible version 👊🏼
Deff the best console port. Blood graphics and sound all there. 10/10
This version is NOT FASTER THAN THE ARCADE Im 43 and ive played these games since 1992
1000 times thanks for your videos
I cheesed the hell out of Kintaro by trapping him in the corner with high punches. If you hang out in the corner a little left of Kano when Kintaro stomps on your character you just stand up and start punching. Because Kintaro will jump into the corner after the stomp you can just trap him and punch him to death.
Those rounds with kintaro are exactly what happened to me last time I played, didn’t matter what I did he countered me and I ate a stomp or uppercut
You mentioned Armageddon and its fatalities. I actually liked how you could link deadly finishing moves and get creative with it, but yeah it will never be as cool as each character having unique fatalities.
Have you done any videos on the homebrew games? Like MK Arcade Edition on Genesis
My biggest problem with this port is the sound effects not being punchy enough...no pun intended. The uppercuts, roundhouses, etc just sound way too weak. Surely they could have replicated better punch and kick sounds from the arcade but maybe I'm wrong.
I always preferred the look of the deadpool stage on the version because ot the red scky background through the wondows.
grew up with this one
8:33 Lu out here with the no stance like he don’t even look like he wants to fight I mean hands to the side all that lol
Great run 🔥
I love playing the SNES MK2-MSU version
Midway arcade treasures 2 has arcade perfect replicas of mk1, 2, and 3 if you never played it. Beautiful on psp and vita if you have it modded.
I remember this I play it mortal Kombat 2 on snes before like i use to play it sometimes whenever I play the mortal Kombat 2 snes even on Genesis I play it sometimes li had play it for long time ago Darryl btw your so awesome keep up the good 😄😁
Thanks again Starlight 🙏🏽
Bought this when it came out still love the version today
Absolutely 👍🏼
i also didnt care much for the fatality system in Armageddon but konquest mode is definitely worth a playthrough
I still have to play Armageddon, crazy to think I’ve never actually played that, it’s the only one.
I enjoy it one of the best love to see you compare the street fighter 2 games for Sega Genesis and super Nintendo as well
I could do that for sure 👍🏼 however they were VERY similar I found, but I’ll return to them, why not 👊🏼
Kintaro is a utter pain lol
I did have some problems with SNES version of mk 2. Was when Mileena first takes her mask off you can't see the sharp teeth. But my biggest pet peave was that Reptile doesn't say "Yummmm"! Its weird no matter who I used. Knowing Reptile didn't say yum. It just always felt like something was missing.( Even if I wasn't using Reptile)
Don't remember him saying "yummm" sounded more "mmmmm". B, B, D , LP is ingrained in my brain😅
Very Hard on SNES = like the arcade normal difficulty. But this port is great!
Quarter munching arcade difficulty. "Turn them kids upside down and shake til their fillings fall out!" difficulty. I'm sure you get the reference to being upside down making it easy for change and money to fall out of the victim's pockets.
@@maddumass well, this was the strategy of the arcades. You have to know how the AI works (and just a few knew it back then!), otherwise it's close to impossible to beat the game.
7:32 ain’t gone hold u , when I was young , I always thought that was a plane they was in cause of how the cloud moves
we love u plz continue
I love you too lol
This is the best MK2 version there is, i even prefer more than the arcade. MK1 SFX and Music was good on sega though.
😕
I don't remember having to rely on the kick strategy on SNES I think I relied on another one that once Kintaro is at the corner you just spam punches over and over to chip out his HP (must have the proper distance or else you get a different punch that make things easier for Kintaro).
Edit: While you had to retry Shao Kahn's fight, it was easier overall, Kintaro took you like 20-ish minutes to complete, good run overall as aside of the Shokan (and a little bit with Kahn), you got a great time.
Hi Darryl
Are you going to do more of sub zero mythology as I found it very funny.
Absolutely. I have a treat though, I started over on the PS1 version, so now there’s FMV scenes instead of story board reading, and clearer visuals. I’ll drop it soon 👊🏼
@@BushyStallion can't wait.i never played it but it looks like a big piece of shit.
cant tell if you were sleepy in this or if it just sounds different without the button slapping
Man the sound is so much better on the SNES version than the Genesis one. I remember when I was a kid my friend would hold the phone up to say he did a fatality and I'd be like "I didn't hear anything" 😂 It wasn't until I played the Genesis version that I would realize the sound was just worse.
32x is better, gameplay wise the SNEs version is crap, most of the juggle combos found in the Arcade cannot be executed here, lots of combos and /or tactics are missing on the SNES, the sound also sucks "fop fop fop fap fap fap, oh , oh" sound of the punches LOL , the missing detail on the sprites, the tiny fighters due to the lower resolution of the system, ehw...I hate this version, I grew up with the PC DOS port which is nothing to write home about either, so.....
The SNES is a great home port of MK2, but one of the things I miss most in this port is the way Fatality fades onto the screen with that eerie moaning sound. In the SNES it just pops up directly on the screen with a blood dropping sound effect. At least the Genesis got that one right.
mk2 snes was truly closest to the arcade version but one issue i had was i wish they added the theme of goro's lair on the arcade version to the snes version.
Are you using a turbo controller or are you using a emulator box and that's the controller it came with
SNES MK2 I could only ever beat Kinatro with Scorpion. I’m getting the same frustrations and heart palpitations watching you that I would playing back in 93.
Kintaro is an absolute pain on this version with anyone other than Kitana I find. Thanks for the comment bro I appreciate it 👊🏼
The health meters are my biggest problem, it was so close
When I was younger seeing the intro of shao khan and kintoro I always thought it was cool ,but that was a cameo telling us mk dissing aklaim lololol funny now their out of business so mk knew very funny
Me had 2 version of this and mortal Kombat 1 growing up 🐉
Nice 👊🏼
Mortal Kombat 2 video, shocker lol. I had this version. I only had a sega for about a week or two. I returned it cuz I realized it wasn't necessary to have 2 separate game consoles that were competitors of each other. I kinda compared Sonic and Mario, and determined that Mario was the way better game. Sonic was actually cooler to play, but Mario was more fun, if you get what I mean.
Only good Sonic Mega Drive game is the second one. The others have terrible and unbalanced level design.
@@HeathenDance S3&K is objectively the best. It's arguably the best Genesis/MD game period
@@Harmonic14 Personally, I think the level design is very boring, long and repetitive. But to each his own. We can't all like the same things.
I feel 1988-2001 was the best time ever
I have the Saturn version of this game. This one is 16 bit, and it's a LOT BETTER. Post Mega Drive Sega systems were full of cash grabs, it's revolting. They got what they deserved, later on.
That's your opinion I love Sega there were certain games each system had better than the other Sega had better gameplay in damn near all games
I’ve never tried the Saturn version, I still want to if I can ever get my hands on one, but I’m in no rush considering the comments I get on it lol
@@BushyStallionIf you're playing with friends while having a few beers is still fun enough, as probably all Mortal Kombat games (except the 8 bit versions of course). But as a single player game, it's definitely a disappointment.
The easiest way to beat Kintaro in this version is to push him ALLLL the way to the side as far as the screen will scroll, let him do his jump on you and while that animation is playing out, hold your directional pad in the opposite direction of the screen and you’ll slide out from under him and just spam high punches. He will be stun locked and you’ll beat him, EASY. With shao Kahn, use liu kang, get distance between you two and spam low fireball. He will throw spears and they’ll go over your head giving you a super easy win.
I’m still gonna have to try this eventually when I return to this version of the game, thanks for the tips 👊🏼
@@BushyStallion absolutely man I adore your videos and you actually helped me beat MK2 on arcade so you’re a life saver!
Nice Video ! Sub & Big Like ! And Love Retro Snes Games !
Thanks Almeida I appreciate it 👊🏼 retro gaming is where it’s at!
@@BushyStallion Thank you for your reply ! If you are interested in the nostalgic game culture of Japan, please subscribe to my channel !
So... about Kintaro, does no one know about the SNES corner punches? They didn't program the pushback on Kintaro, so if he's cornered, just low punch and win the round. Usually easy to pull off when he stomps you, then jumps back toward the corner.
I really need to try this method 👊🏼
@@BushyStallion works with any character, but it ain't too easy.
That method doesn't work.
@@stupendous1068 Weird, I used to pull it off back in the day, I'm gonna give it a shot again, and let you know.
@@stupendous1068 depends on version of the game
That is the best one
The best home port of MK2.
For sure 👊🏼
7:58 I never understood how I can double freeze at the end cause when u performed they in fight, the second freeze unfroze them n would freeze u
That's not the same thing that's part of a fatality that's not a normal freeze
@@lancecowburn1693 ok i appreciate the explanation. Like ima casual player I just play for fun and that always baffled me back then. But yea bro thx
@@leosmit8612 you're welcome🤝🏻

MK 2 forever MF 💯
I love mk 2 on the snes 😄
Great taste 👊🏼
@@BushyStallion 👍
I am unfit to comment on this because I'm too biased. Grew up with this port and played this cart to death
Clickbait tu mayor problema es que no entrenaste. Kitana's hack is cheating xd. Yo de chico sólo lograba vencer al mal@ldito de Kintaro con el truco de "Freeze At Corner" aún así era difícil😂 XD that b@stard hates sweeps attempts & cancelled punches XD . . . Kintaro & Motaro (Umk3) en Snes son mucho más puñeteros que en Arcade. Nintendo siempre tuvo una dificultad mortal; ni hablar de 64, que a la "falta de calidad y memoria" la compensaron con dificultad hardcore (MKT & Mythologies...MK4 Goro🤦) Aún así gracias x compartir e incentivarnos a jugar este Timeless Game Pak Bro 👍larga vida al Retrogaming🤟
your biggest problem with this version is it is too good and can't get any better!
😂😂 perhaps
got the arcade perfect port on ps3 mk hd collection. mk2 look solid on snes thought.
32x is a close number 2, but doesn't beat the SNES. 32x still has some of the crappy Genesis sound effects and colors.
I feel 32x is the best version. Or the MS-DOS version to be the best arcade conversion. This version has worst sprites and portraits and awful sounds and music.
My theory as to why they don't list the actors' names in any port of this game was because many of the actors left Midway between MKII & MK3 (Ho Sung Pak, Daniel Pesina, Katalin Zamiar, Phillip Ahn M.D.) and some of them filed an ultimately unsuccessful lawsuit over unpaid royalties.
The Sega Genesis port has the actors names after you beat the game in the credits.

I personally prefer the SNES version to the Arcade. It's easier to defeat the computer and it recreated the Arcade version very well in terms of graphics and gameplay.
