Mortal Kombat II: Kano Transformations and Shawn Attacks - Gaming Mysteries
9,848What does Shawn Michaels have to do with Mortal Kombat 2? He might be the key to the biggest mystery in the game's history.
Mortal Kombat II, like many arcade games of its time, was subject to many rumors and urban legends due to the culture of arcades and a gaming press that was more than eager to egg them on. Adding to the mystery were its audit screens. The audit screen of the first mortal kombat led to the famous Ermac rumor, which because even more popular after EGM published a fake piece on someone finding him.
Mortal Kombat 2 has two audits of particular note: Kane Transformations and Shawn Attacks. Were these audits relating to anything real? Or were they just a wild goose chase brought on by the game's creators.
It's possible that due to their upcoming game WWF Wrestlemania The Arcade Game, Midway might have intended to hide WWF Easter Eggs in Mortal Kombat 2. The presence of a WWF logo in the code of the game suggests that this might have been planned at some point.
