out those with modems.

(Kano is not in GG MK)
In
the arcade, you could knock up to three heads off your opponent due to
a bug in Johnny's fatality timer. You could also do other things, like
knock two heads off, then punch the opponent in the nuts or even give
them a shadow kick.
Notice
how shitty the heart looks. Rather than use the arcade sprite, the idiots
at Probe decided that a fake-ass, cartoony heart would better illustrate
the gore of this fatality.
In
the arcade, this fatality yielded so much more blood...and in MKT, when
you use MK1 Rayden and do it, the geyser of blood that shoots out of their
neck is unbelievably over the top(as much of that game is).

You'll
notice that it doesn't get dark for Liu's fatality, sort of showing his
status as a "good" guy in this first game. In the arcade, you
could start the cartwheel all the way across the screen, then shoot two
fireballs, then do the cartwheel again, inching closer until you finally
hit the opponent.
You
can actually flame people from behind, just like you could in the arcade
with this early version of the "Toasty" fatality.
Sub-Zero's
fatality is another shining example of the pure laziness of Probe Software.
Rather than use the re-drawn head from the arcade, they opted to just
use the already existing head from the in-game match.

(The
Pit is not in GG MK) |

This
fatality was brought back in MK3, MK4/G and more recently, MK:
DA. Every time it has been slightly different, but always amusing. |
The
heads on the spikes are actually Tobias and Boon. Also, the bottom
of the Pit is where you'd fight Reptile assuming you knew how... |
