Mortal Kombat 1 (alt) [SNES] - play as Shang Tsung

This is a playthrough using Shang Tsung in the SNES version of Mortal Kombat 1. Read on below for more information...

Shang Tsung is the second and final boss of the game. He is an unplayable character in the original version of it.

This is an alternative version of the SNES game, where the boss and hidden characters are specially made playable. The game is known as Mortal Kombat Champion Edition, and the mod is made by a person named Snark-4918.

===== HOW TO SELECT SHANG TSUNG =====

On the character select screen, highlight Liu Kang, hold [SELECT] and press any attack button.

===== MOVELIST FOR SHANG TSUNG =====

Whilst as Shang Tsung:

-- Fireball: Any Direction on the D-Pad besides DB and DF; or [Block]

-- Morphs:

[HP] = Kano
[LP] = Liu Kang
[LK] = Rayden
[HK] = Cage
[SELECT] + [HP] = Sub-Zero
[SELECT] + [LK] = Sonya
[SELECT] + [HK] = Scorpion
[SELECT] + [LP] = Goro!

-- Morph Back Into Shang Tsung: [L Block] whilst as any other character

===== ADDITIONAL INFORMATION =====

---- On the character select screen, when Shang Tsung is selected, almost the whole screen flashes.

---- On the Battle Plan screen, the creator has implemented a proper icon for Shang Tsung. In the original version of the game, this icon was glitched if you selected Tsung.

---- On the Battle Plan screen, the creator has implemented a proper fight plan opposition for Tsung, using Liu Kang's one instead. In the original version of the game, all of the opponents up to Endurance 3 were Johnny Cage if you selected Tsung.

---- The "Test Your Might" bonus games have been removed for Tsung to stop it crashing the game.

---- In a Shang Tsung mirror match, the alternate colour palette are "wrong" colours.

---- In a Shang Tsung mirror match, part of the name text on his lifebar is cut off.

---- In a 2-player game, his VS screen portrait image is of Liu Kang's one. This stops the game crashing at this point.

---- If you beat single-player mode with him, the creator has made it so that he has no ending and it goes straight back to the title screen. This was done to stop the game from crashing at this point.

---- When playing as Tsung, if he gets defeated he goes into his "multiple morph death" animations, but the game can still progress as normal.

---- This player version of Tsung is missing the move where he zooms back really quickly with a "leaning backwards" pose... only the CPU controlled Tsung can do this.

---- He cannot morph into Reptile (he never could anyway).
