Unused Characters
The characters Drahmin, Frost, Kitana, and Nitara are present in the game's files, yet they are not utilized in fights. It is likely that they were planned to be in Konquest missions but ended up being unused. The Action Replay codes for replacing Player 1 with these characters in the GameCube release have been provided below.
Character | Action Replay code |
---|---|
Drahmin | 003AE747 0000002B |
Frost | 003AE747 00000029 |
Kitana | 003AE747 0000002A |
Nitara | 003AE747 00000027 |
Kitana and Frost would later become playable in Mortal Kombat Unchained, a PSP port of Deception.

Dairou, Kabal, and Kobra have unused locked icons despite being unlocked by default.

Konquest Items

Before Noob and Smoke were merged into one character, Smoke was given his own ending. Only the narration remains.

Debug Functions
Game Version
To do: Document the version numbers from the international releases. |
In order to enable this debug function, go to game options and select the gameplay menu. Hold L+Attack 1 for about six seconds and then it should display the game version. It appears to only work for the Xbox and PlayStation 2. The function would later be disabled in the GameCube release, though the version number is still referenced in its executable.

Xbox (USA) | 0.098 |
GameCube (USA) | 0.142_gc |

Present at 0x39DDE0 in the Xbox executable is a build date for RenderWare.
Core built at May 31 2004 18:49:12
Acid Bath
permanent_strings.ssf has a reference to Acid Bath, an arena from the previous game. Considering that it is not unlockable, it might have ended up getting cut in favor of bringing back Dead Pool from Mortal Kombat II.

Just like the previous game, an executable with debug symbols named mk6gc_release.elf is present inside the root folder from the GameCube release.

Additionally, a linker map for the ELF executable named mk6gc_release.MAP is present only in the GameCube release.

Regional Differences
In France, the game is sold under the title of Mortal Kombat: Mystification, as the word "DÉCEPTION" in French translates to "disappointment." A game called Mortal Kombat: Disappointment would be a rather hard sell indeed.
Revisional Differences
The GameCube port has a few revisional differences due to coming out several months after the game's initial release.
- Goro and Shao Kahn are included as exclusive playable characters.
- Hotaru, Havik, Jade, Kira, Li Mei, and Noob-Smoke are unlocked by default, unlike in other releases.
Xbox | GameCube |
---|---|
- The Xbox port has a variation of konquest.sfd with footage from an unfinshed version of Konquest mode. Old Shujinko was not implemented yet, so Kid Shujinko's model was being used as a placeholder. This video was later replaced with gameplay of the final version.
Bonus Disc
To do: Describe the extra content better. Check if anything on this disc is unused. |
The Premium Pack (PS2) / Kollector's Edition (Xbox) adds a second disc containing an emulated arcade version of Mortal Kombat and bonus videos.
