  Coming from someone who owns the game. &nbsp;You could beat Shinnok. You need 4 Polar Blast shots (and 4 Urns to refill your ice meter). &nbsp;Doing so unlocks a bloopers reel.

  Fun fact this was actually a huge financial success for midway at the time, which made them green light special forces, sadly it didnt really meet the same fate

  I hope to find somebody who loves me as much as Ian hates the turn-around button 😂

  You made an error around the 17 minute mark. Killing Scorpion in the first level will trigger his boss fight in the prison level. If you don&apos;t kill him in the Shaolin temple, you only get a cutscene with Shinnok at the prison, without the second Scorpion fight. Killing him at the first level DOES make a difference.<br><br>Also, beating monster Shinnok unlocks the gag reel video. Use the blast freeze over and over to beat him.

  Make no mistake, this wasn’t a “great” game when it came out in the mid 1990s. But this one on the PS1 was, and still is, a guilty gaming pleasure for me, an MK fan since the original in the early 90s 😁

  Sadly this is not the worst MK game. I would give that honor to MK Special Forces.

  That damn level with Fujin as the boss was IMPOSSIBLE as a kid. As an adult it wasn&apos;t much easier... but the joy i had when i finally beat it was memorable. Then i got lost on the damn rope level and never progressed.

  And yet Deception&apos;s Konquest mode and Shaolin Monks were smashing successes and people are clamoring for a Scorpion/Sub-Zero-focused sequel ever since. What I&apos;m trying to say here is that people definitely understood at the time that Mythologies was just a blight in MK&apos;s history, but that MK still had single-player story potential. Heck, some of my absolute non-gamer normie friends said they&apos;d love to play a RPG based on MK&apos;s universe like full fledged, modern Konquest mode rendition.

  Watching you play through this game was a highlight of my YouTube watching career 🤣

  I had the 64 version and the saving grace that my friends and i would fall over laughing at is the fall scream when he dies. And even better was the scream abruptly stopping when he hits the ground.
