MAMEWorld Forums - EmuChat - Re: Mortal Kombat 1 Reptile Inquiry

Theoretically, the way Reptile is written into the game (essentially, a new match is spawned in which Reptile overwrites character 1 only, if there's a character 2 programmed in as in the Endurance case, nothing is done to clear it so it leaps in and inherits the Reptile overlay (both ninja move sets, green palette)). I gusee that means means that you can get glitched versions of the second characters in an Endurance battle, provided the original battle took place on The Pit, and the rest of the Reptile flags (shadows, double flawless, fatality, no blocking) are satisfied. The other side effect is that for each move the game uses the image ids for the ninja character, causing some strange animations.

This is a lot easier to do on the home versions, as the shadows occur more regularly - but I have no reason to believe this can't happen in the arcade, just that I haven't seen it.
