Can you PLAY as SMOKE, NOOB, JADE, Kahn, and KINTARO in MK2?

Not that I remember. There wasn't really playable hidden characters before MK3, they were only fightable. But I know on the super nintendo version of MK2 if you held the top L and R buttons when you start the game up all the way until you see the acclaim logo, Shao Kahn and Kintaro will walk out and trash the logo. Nothing too big, but entertaining nevertheless.
 
I know on the Genesis you can play as Noob and Smoke (maybe the others too) via Game Genie. They even had their own bizarre and nonsensical special moves (I think Smoke disappeared and turned into a spear), but if you used one you wouldn't be able to move afterwards, and most attacks from them would crash the game.

Anyway, there's no real way to play as them. You can use a cheating device, but be prepared for lots of freezing and crashing.
 
they speak the truth... you cannot play AS those characters.

there are secret ways to fight against the three you mentioned that aren't normally in the game though... they're posted elsewhere in this forum

you can play as the secret characters, but the only thing you can do is duck, jump straight up and block.....if you do anything else the game will freeze. As for Kahn and Kintaro.....only thing you can do is block and everything else freezes the game....If a normal AI controlled character tries to throw Kahn or Kintaro then the game will freeze, and the bosses will disappear, since there is no throw animation for throwing the bosses.

Also the game will freeze if you pick Noob Saibot for Revision 2.1 and earlier and if you pick any secret characters in revision 1.4 and earlier.
 
If I may...?

I remember reading for a number of years that there is a cheat on the Gameboy MK1 that will let you play as Goro, though it changes the character names and God only knows what else. And also I don't know if this cheat is any more stable than the Genie stuff you mentioned.

But then again, who knows how many people still have the GB MK1 anyway.

I think you can play as Shang Tsung, don't quote me about that.

Now I fought against Reptile and activated the select PL1 cheat code to see what his number is on the hex. His number is 05 which is Scorpion.
Because Scorpion is in his name bar. Clever trick Ed Boon. Now the question is...how do you access his pallette and have Scorpion
in his name bar...???
 
you can't play as MK2 Shao Kahn, MK1 Reptile, MK1 Goro, MK1 Shang Tsung, MK2 Jade, MK2 Noob, MK2 Smoke....

Those are like god tier characters.
