The characters aren't quite unused playable choices so much as they have button assignments to them and they're all the same. Unfortunately, many of them can cause the game to crash. Using a cheat device can not only allow you to play as monks and bosses but even discover unused enemies though for reasons unknown, a few of these characters have a strange neon glossy texture placed on them when used.

The characters actually do work in cutscenes so you can play with one in Co-Op, though because their models (especially the females) don't match the animation skeletons of the normally playable characters, as they'll look very warped. Also, if you save using one of these characters, that save file will treat it as any other normally-playable character, meaning when you load the file again, you'll resume play as them regardless of whether you're using a cheat device. You can remedy this by switching the character mod to the normally playable characters and then save again using that character. You'll be required to since you will need to at two points in the game perform a Fatality and a Mutality.

Pressing a shoulder button in conjunction with a face button or two will allow you to use their special attacks, and they consume the Stamina Gauge like normal. It's also possible to play as characters who don't have any attacks at all. If you stop after a run, the model will briefly spasm as they have no animation for skidding to a stop
