TRMK - Games - The Grid

As like all of the MK Team's past games, there is sure to be TONS of hidden features in The Grid. As of now we know of a few of the types of secrets hidden in the game. We do know there are Secret Characters, a bunch of Select Screen Codes and now we have proof of Level Secrets .

This is just the tip of the iceberg, there are many more codes in the game that will be revealed once the game has been out for awhile and they feel everyone is ready for the shock of the new codes (they may be harmful to your health, just kidding)

Level Secrets
I have been informed of a secret room in the hidden Grid World level. The following post is from karasu on our Grid Message Board. I haven't had a time to test this out myself, but it's from a good source.

First post from karasu

Check THIS out.... there are a couple secret rooms in the GRIDWORLD background. One is next to impossible to get to (if not totally impossible), but the other is just plain hard.

There are 2 vertical protrusions on one of the walls. You can jump through a fake wall to a hidden area that has a cannon and some ammo er something. As you stand there, you are hidden behind a wall that YOU see through, but OTHERS can't... like a one-way mirror.

You can just sit there and pick people off without them seeing you.

You have to use Chiller (Edit: removed Karasu) to supermove-jump from a pillar to an invisible ledge on the closest vertical protrusion. Then, just walk into the secret room and pick up the goodies.

I've done it once, but I've never gotten to the other secret room which is in the further vertical protrusion. I think you can jump from the invisible ledge of the first protrusion to the invisible ledge on the second protrusion. Or maybe supermove-jump there.

UPDATE from karasu

I tried the secret room last night and I can only get to it with Chiller's super-jump. Karasu didn't work. I haven't tried Cyrus's stomp, though. You kinda have to stand back a little from the edge of the pillar/platform to make sure his super-jump lands right in the middle of the room. It's way easy to slip through a crack in one of the side walls and effectively over-shoot the room.
