  • Secret Characters

  • Secret Characters are characters that you can play as in certain levels but not Barnett College
  • Secret characters are special opponents who are usually not found within the original 1P and 2P Tournament/Battle Plan. To reach them, one must meet specific conditions, often challenging ones in order to face them in kombat. Secret characters often appear as color palette swaps (usually ninjas) of existing characters with enhanced speed and powers. Mortal Kombat is exceptional, if not well-known, for being the first game to introduce secret characters in fighting games, and since then, has become a very recurring trend in the genre. For the most part, secret characters are unplayable and merely exist to challenge the player.
  • The Marvel vs. Capcom series has featured a number of secret characters that can only be chosen by fulfilling specific conditions or imputing a code in the select screen. This included unique characters (such as Akuma and Roll) as well as simpler palette swaps of standard character with some unique gimmick or theme (such as Gold War Machine and Shadow Lady). By fulfilling certain requirements during Arcade Mode (such as not losing any round or winning with a specific number of Hyper Combo finishes), the player can also face these secret characters before the final boss.

For the most part, secret characters are unplayable and merely exist to challenge the player. However, in MK3 and its updates and ports, secret characters can be unlocked for player control via the Ultimate Kombat Kode (UKK). If any one of the kodes are input successfully, the arenas will quickly flash by in succession before displaying the character that was unlocked according to the code announcing, FROM THIS POINT ON, I AM AT YOUR CONTROL. Ultimate Kombat Kodes require inputs from both players because of the combined slots.
