Mortal Kombat II is an arcade game and the second title in the Mortal Kombat fighting game series. It focuses on a new tournament, held in Outworld by a rejuvenated Shang Tsung and his master, the emperor Shao Kahn. The new game introduces six new characters and six characters returning from the original game. New additions to the series include multiple fatalities for each character and new stage fatalities. The game also introduces new finishing moves as a poke at the ESRP. Babalities turn your opponent into a diaper-clad infant. Friendships were also introduced, and would do something nice for your opponent, rather than kill them.

Sub-Zero’s friend from the Lin Kuei, who emits puffs of smoke from his body. In the Portal stage, if the player very quickly held down and hit the start button before Dan’s head left the screen (the TOASTY guy), they would then instantly begin a new stage against a secret character named Smoke.
Noob Saibot
An evil and dark ninja, a lost warrior from the previous Mortal Kombat. His true identity as the original Sub-Zero would be revealed in Mortal Kombat: Deception. To come face to face with the black ninja Noob Saibot, you must win 50 matches in a row.
