As we all know, Mortal Kombat 1 (2023) will include in it's Khaos Reigns update the return of a classic Finishing Move, the Animalities, in which the winning kombatant gets to turn into an animal and kill the opponent with his/her hidden transformation abilities. The Animalities made their debut in Mortal Kombat 3 (1995) and it's updated iterations, Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 (also 1995) and Mortal Kombat Trilogy (1996), but they weren't included in any Mortal Kombat game since then, making their comeback in MK1 (2023): Khaos Reigns (2024) the first time that they would be featured in 28 years.

As for perpetration for the return of the classic Finisher, MK YouTuber Ketchup made a new video looking back at the origins of the Animalities, all the false rumors of them being already in the series in Mortal Kombat II, comments from John Vogel regarding the process of making the Animalities and more.

Today we all know what motion capture means. In the past, the industry didn't really scan people and had them perform the moves which are then transferred to a 3D model. Actors were filmed on tape with cameras and their images were turned into sprites which were then used in the games. This process was called digitizing. In the following video you will see Mortal Kombat legend Kerri Hoskins being digitized for her role as Kia, a member of Quan Chi's Brothers of the Shadow in Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero.

There are tons of less known Easter eggs in all Mortal Kombat games and since we are still celebrating the franchise's 30th Anniversary, here is one that recently made the rounds on Twitter.

In the original Mortal Kombat 1, in the far right corner of the Palace Gates stage, there are hidden icons of Pac-Man, alongside an icon of the Ghost, also from Pac-Man. The Tweet made by long time community member TotalMK stated that this was John Tobias' idea, according to Ed Boon. The tweet was quickly picked up by Mortal Kombat co-creator Ed Boon, who corrected that this was actually John Vogel's idea. Regardless of who's idea it was, it was a cool one.

And it doesn't stop there, as the same Easter egg is present in Mortal Kombat 3 and it's updates on two separate stages. On the street stage in a non visible part of the arena, at the top of the building and in the graveyard arena on one of the stones. Have a look:

In 1994, Midway released one of their most successful and popular games ever, NBA Jam. On top of everything the game had to offer, it also included a ton of Mortal Kombat secrets and Easter Eggs, from references to already-released MK games in Mortal Kombat 1 and Mortal Kombat II, to hints for the release of Mortal Kombat 3 Vanilla which came to fruition the following, to even having several MK characters making to the game as hidden guest characters. These are the 3 playable MK Ninjas of MK2, Reptile, Scorpion and Sub-Zero, along with Raiden. That's not all though, as NBA Jam actually had hidden Fatalities, which could've happen by pushing players from the opposing teams with the MK characters. Guess it is only natural, when there are MK characters and voidance involved, it's gonna go down to Fatalities

And on top of that, this game also had references for other already-existing and future Midway games, such as an advert for WWE WrestleMania: The Arcade Game, which would be released the following year.

That being said, the MK characters have been taken out of later revisions of the game. Thankfully, longtime fighting game YouTuber named Desk has managed to get an earlier version of the game, showcasing how to unlock the MK characters and Fatalities, along with all of the refences and Easter eggs, both that are related and not relegated to MK.

Check out the video from Desk below, enjoy.
