Stages


	The stages are extremely detailed, and are nothing short of spectacular. They are beautiful to look at, very inspiring, and help to set the tone of the game. All of the stages are just one large circle, with many, many details.

	*Goro's Lair* Description You are fighting in a stoney hexagonal area, surrounded by large openings that reveal other simular openings in the greater distance. The corners on either side of the center opening is decorated by lit candles. Misc Info A 3D rendition of the classic Mortal Kombat stage. Objects: Rocks Location: The Earth Realm Stage Fatality The winner of the match delivers a powerful uppercut on the victim as the camera pans down to view it from a diagonal upward perspective. The powerful blow causes the victim to fly up into the bed of blood-stained metal spikes on the ceiling. Press Down at this point to cause the victim to slide off of the spikes and drop to the ground, and hear MK4 Sound Designer, Dan Forden, yell "TOASTY!". *The Well* Description A dark path leads into a room lit by the fire of a large furnace. You are fighting on the dusty floor in front of it. At the center of the furnace, directly across from the entrance is a large opening that reveals its flames.

Opposite the center wall is a large dark path sloping upward, with blue faces on either side of it. *The Tomb* Description You are fighting in a square stoney room. At the center of the back wall is a large window decorated by a skull design that reveals the purple sky. A dead body covered by a purple cloth lays in front of the window on the stone ledge. Two rectangular windows are located on the walls to each side of the skull window. On the far sides of the room are raised diagonal surfaces with coffins laid out across them. In each of the four corners of the room is a large torch, lighting up the area. On the wall opposite the skull window, there is a large wooden gate and two rectangular windows to either side of it as well. Misc Info Objects: Rocks for all home versions *Wind World* Description You are fighting on the surface of a raised circular platform among others in the mountains of the far east.

Misc Info A 3D Rendition of the classic Mortal Kombat II stage. Location: The Realm of Edenia (formerly Outworld) *The Prison* Description You are fighting in one of the large octagonal cells in the Netherealm's Prison of Souls. At the center of the back wall is a large metal fan.

Misc Info Also appears in "Mortal Kombat Mythologies: SUB-ZERO" Location: The Netherealm Stage Fatality The winner grabs the opponent by his/her left arm and leg, and begins spinning, holding the victim at roughly shoulder-height. The camera view switches to a perspective behind the winner, above the shoulder, looking toward the helpless victim. The camera then goes back to a normal view of the action, as the winner releases his/her of the opponent, sending him/her flying into the large fan on the center of the back wall. The opponent is then mutilated by the large blades of the fan in a shower of fresh red blood and falling body parts. The victim's now-severed head soon flies out of the fan, toward the camera, and hits the camera lens with a splat, leaving a large stain of blood on it before dropping to the floor below. *Ice Pit* Description You're fighting in a pit, surrounded by stoney surfaces covered in snow and ice. There is a large gate with closed metallic doors leading into the area, with posts decorated by dragon symbols carved into the stone, to either side. Across from the gate, there is a partial arrow-like shape carved into the stone wall. During the fight, snow falls from the blue sky above, onto the kombatants. Misc Info The all-new stage built from scratch for the home versions of the game. Note: Despite the name of this stage, there is NO Stage Fatality ("pit") that can be done here.
