Line 7:
** The [[Secret Character|secret characters]]: Jade, Smoke and Noob.
** Mileena, who is regarded as the most iconic villainess of the series.
** Baraka. The creators have admitted in one of their videos that Baraka is one of their most popular characters, albeit not having been in a lot of the games. Case in point: his inclusion in [[Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe
** Kung Lao.
* [[Even Better Sequel]]: Due to being [[The Same but More]] of the original.
* [[Evil Is Sexy]]: Shao Kahn. Just look at that ''body''!
* [[Foe Yay]]: Mileena [[Twincest|towards Kitana, natch.]] Her ''Deception'' bio even has Mileena note that her hatred of Kitana consumes her every thought. Seems to be absent in ''9'' though.
* [[Game Breaker]]: Kitana's fan lift/pummeling combo, a nigh-indefensible move so widely abused that it was nerfed by a software update that made it difficult to corner an opponent. Some players found a workaround anyway.
* [[Launcher of a Thousand Ships]]: Sub-Zero VI. Let's see... we've got [[Foe Yay Shipping|Scor]][[Ghost Shipping|pion]], [[Incest Yay Shipping|Noob]] [[Ghost Shipping|Saibot]], [[Ho Yay Shipping|Smo]][[Robo Ship|ke]], [[Ho Yay Shipping|Kenshi]], [[Ship Tease|Sareena]], [[Mentor Ship|Fr]][[Foe Yay Shipping|ost]], [[Ships That Pass in
* [[Memetic Mutation]]/[[Never Live It Down]]: Smoke's initial appearance in ''2'' was as a gray Scorpion [[Palette Swap|recolor]] with crazy speed. His cyborg version has even more attacks taken from other characters. Combine that with one of his vocal grunts [[Mondegreen|being heard by many]] as "[[The Simpsons (animation)|Yoink]]", he has become famous as a move thief, matched only by [[Mortal Kombat: Deception
** It doesn't even have to be techniques. Nowadays, Smoke's "Yoink!" is [[Played for Laughs]] if he steals ''anything''.
* [[Most Annoying Sound]]: Kahn's commentary got the honor of rivaling [[Screaming Warrior|Liu Kang's]] [[Kiai|voice]].
* [[Nightmare Fuel Station Attendant]]: Mileena,
* [[Polished Port]]: Unbelievably, the [[Game Boy]] version turned out really well. Yes, the character roster had to be cut down due to hardware limitations, but the graphics and music are very good, the controls are perfect, and the gameplay is actually ''faster'' than the other versions.
* [[Porting Disaster]]: The ''Midway Arcade Treasures 2'' version had the start button exclusively function as the pause button. This made unlocking Smoke impossible.
* [[The Woobie]]:
** Kitana has a history of being repeatedly deceived and/or manipulated by several villains throughout the series. She, during ''Mortal Kombat 2'', falsely believes Shao Kahn to be her father. In ''Deception'', she is under the control of Onaga; and in ''Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe'', she's being manipulated by both the rage sent by Dark Kahn, and then by Quan Chi. [[Iron Woobie|It hardly seems to affect her though.]] She breaks in her ''Unchained'' ending, though, after Blaze tells her that her premonitions were true and ''Armageddon'' is coming.
