Mortal Kombat 1 - Secret Boss Fight: How To Challenge Reptile 

I don't know if this was how the guy in the arcade I was playing unlocked Reptile more than 20 years ago but the double flawless on the pit is part of it. It was a really strange moment all of us that was not playing anything were watching it like it's a big moment in history. And it's still to this day one of the biggest moments in gaming history for me.

imagine being a 13 year old kid in the 90's and being good at this game, and you find Reptile on accident.

Bruh one time i had the shadows over the moon, i didnt know what they were i just thought they were cool easter eggs.

Not mentioned. Santa needs to be flying by to find him. You can double flawless all day. No Santa, no reptile. 1/20 pitts gets Santa.

Secrets like this that will actually something worth doing awesome I wish we were back to those days again oh I forgot I'm creating a game

This is impossible to figure out by accident, the developers HAD to leak this information somehow

Secrets in fighting games now: just a reskin fighter or a character skin. Secrets in fighting games in the 90s: green ninja with scorpion and sub zero moves that also moves quick

On the Snes it was only required double Flawless victory + no block. No need for all the other stuff or Fatality.

I like mortal combat I play this game

Reptile but called scorpion 😂

Need to be quicker then him if you can't match his speed.

Theres no reptile dude

Anybody every GREET,MEET, and BEAT them @ their own game,?!? my nephew has done that now go look n see his #PAGE n pics with them side by side!!!

Why does it say scorpion

lol 10 million points if you beat Reptile. Seems like such an absurd, arbitrary number.

Do the watch it I will fool you

if you weren't around the arcades at the time this game came out, you just don't understand how big this is in vg history

the fact that reptile is the first secret character in fighting game history makes him a F'N legend

For those not understanding the moveset, the reason he was called reptile is because reptiles shapeshift. He can use all the ninjas moves.

This happened to me at age 9. A few days earlier, I had accidentally discovered fatalities by accidentally ripping Sonya's head off with Sub Zero. I was hooked. I played every day after school. And then, out of nowhere, the green Ninja challenged me. (I believe I was Raiden). Fun times.

Damn son. 10 million points if you beat this guy? I don't play Mortal Kombat, but I would be so satisfied to get that many points at once!

Funny how he beheaded Scorpion out of the Reptile

00:11 That is Santa Claus?

Man I remember there being so much mystique behind this guy. Did he come before Akuma as secret character? Looking back now, it's amazing how they used the announcer voice for emperor Shao Kahn.

Ah, those memories. Long before cell phones & social media. Imagine what it must have been like seeing this mysterious character named Reptile randomly appear out of nowhere & then deciphering how to access him. What it must have been like to be out on a Friday night in 1992 at your local arcade, bowling alley, amusement park or whatever, surrounded by friends & getting to fight Reptile at the bottom of the Pit in MK1 after deciphering these mysterious clues. Truly a Generation X experience! So around here got to fulfill that? Share your stories. Perfection is the key👍

What I do is this (Arcade perfect PlayStation 2 & PlayStation 3 ports)... Do 3 VS (2 player) matches in a row (the 3rd should be at The Warrior Shrine). At the end of the 3rd VS match, let the continue timer run out & then end up in 1 player mode (most likely at the 1st opponent) where the fight will be at The Pit. If I don't see any shadows, I press Start on controller 2 to go back to 2 player mode where it's rinse & repeat (the 1st 2 player match will be at The Courtyard so again only 3 matches are necessary) until you see shadows fly across the moon at The Pit. If you own the Sega Genesis and/or Sega CD versions of this game, enter the DULLARD code to activate the cheat menu & at least activate Flag #2 (flags are numbered 0-7, so it's technically the 3rd 1 down on the left hand side) so shadows will always fly across the moon at The Pit. If you own the Super Nintendo version of this game, you simply just have to be at The Pit in 1 player mode (no need to wait for shadows). But in all 3 of those home console versions, winning with a double flawless, no blocking & doing your character's fatality are still required.

As a kid with friends we actually sat down and performed this step by step only on a RUMOR that it would even work. Reptile then became my favorite character.

Everyone used to flock to the arcade on the weekends and stand around the MK machines. People would put a quarter up on the screen to signify that they were playing next. Most of us would just want though because the bigger kids were too good at it.

fighting reptile was better than beating the game.

Before Chameleon, there was "Scorptile".

A lot of the details in this video are not necessary. most versions of Mortal Kombat 1 when you see the Shadows going across the moon on the pit stage you want to get a double flaws and finishing move. you can uppercut and get the stage fatality that will count as well. Not sure if it's okay to tap block. Definitely if you block a move it will take away health so no Flawless victory. The Shadows appearing are just random. Some arcade versions and I believe the Super Nintendo version allows you to get to reptile every time when you get to the pit without shadows going across the moon.

Back when reptile had Scorpion's name and Had Scorpion & subzero attacks

The SNES version at least made it easier to fight him. Just needed a double flawless on the pit and a fatality and not have to wait for shadows.

I've been trying to make him appear for weeks, but the freaking shadows over the moon wouldn't appear no matter how many times I tried! I never thought about letting the timer go down and start over until they do appear, it kinda makes sense since an arcade machine would remain turned on all day so maybe the game is programmed to increase the likelihood of the shadows appearing the more rounds were played, or something. Anyway, now I'll try this out and see what happends.

he was not reptile he was subpion

Reptile debuted as an npc opponent here. And in the story of MK 2011, he's your first opponent as Johnny Cage!

Ah the days when video game secrets were so pure.

Nowadays the only thing you need is a credit card to buy the DLC...

When times were simpler. Jumping thru hoops to get to a hidden character ... with an incorrectly titled name. Another palette swap. Didn't have his own moveset. Apes the other two ninjas. Only to be correctly named when defeated.

But his name is scorpion and has sub zeros and scorpions powers?!

I nearly crapped my pants the 1st time i found Reptile while playing Mortal Kombat 1 in 1993... pity i was the only person in the store & NOBODY believed me when i told them about it & i had no clue how i managed to do it, so i obviously couldn't re-create it to prove it to my mates... (This was before we had widespread internet in SouthAfrica, so i couldn't even search for it online to see if anybody else had come across this)

UM......OKAY????I MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO DO THAT XD

Sub Zero x Scorpion (They have their son Reptile)

I was mad when they didn’t reptile these moves in Mk2

Mortal Kombat: Best game ever. Period.

Mortal Kombat was the only game besides Super Mario World me and my brother had. He got incredibly good at the game. I still remember the moment of shocked silence we shared when the screen flashed. That was the best summer night ever

Tf? Reptile is Scorpion?

Why does it label him as Scorpion on the health bar? It should say Reptile shouldn't it?

No wonder why Reptile has 4 million views with the new MK1 trailer.

That is strange, when Johnny cage finished Reptile, his head had a yellow mask, what the

Well, it says Scorpion... so it's not a Reptile after all. Green costume 🦂

1:25 pause the vid why is is reptile scorpion

I had this on SNES and had no idea who reptile was. Nobody had said anything about the fighter but I had played the damn game so much and one day I just got the match. Had no Idea how I did it and was completely in awe I nearly shit myself. Keep in mind this was before the internet was mainstream and I was just a 9 year old kid. NONE of my friends believed me and I could never repeat it.

I remember accidentally getting to fight Reptile on SNES when I was like 10 years old. I didn’t know how I had done it. My friends didn’t believe me cause I couldn’t reproduce it Only years later did I get to show them that it could be done

This is git Sega, with the last cheat code, I was able to fight reptile ABACABB: blood code DULLARD: cheats

10,000,000 points, then you switch the Mega Drive off.

It’s so janky. Sub-zero and Scorpion’s abilities and when you do the fatality it’s Scorpion’s head that goes flying. 😂

Mortal kombat I was my fav. I think it was MK II that you can be a character that can switch to whoever you want. I would turn to sub zero freeze them as last hit then turn into scorpion and burn em - lol. My signature kill

As this was the shiz back in the day, its amazing to think about every time you played it. Dudes used the same move, over and over and over again. It was so lame!

I found Easter egg santa riding Rudolph

I just realized... yellow (Scorpion) and blue (Sub-Zero) make green

Wait.... Was that Santa Claus riding his sleigh in the background????

uses the same move over and over - just like my brother would. annoying

I remember playing this at the circle k. Trying to learn the moves with no internet and just a game pro magazine

He’s green. Named Scorpion. And shoots freeze out.

Funny how just naming this "Mortal Kombat 1" is def going to get it a million times more traffic

Dope now I'm going to kick his ass, BRB....... He, uh. He won and he took my shoes.

NAH THAT WAS NOT HOW IT WAS DONE .. U DIDNT HAVE TO DO ALL THAT ... ALL U NEEDED TO DO WAS UPPERCUT THE PERSON U FIGHTIJG AT THE END BUT WITH PERFECT HEALTH AND YOU HAD TO WAIT UNTIL THE WITCH FLEW BY IN THE SKY

The best looking reptile. They then turned him into a kinky lizard in dominatrix.

You dont have to time out on the pit. Can be any stage. It's very anoying, and will not work if in vs mode at the lit w flying kites and santa. Arcade that is. Apparently its every sixth game. Still trying.

That wasn't reptile that was Chameleon.

thats not reptile its scorpion mixet with sub zerw

es reptil, pero lanza hielo y se llama scorpion 😐 It is reptile, but it shoots ice and is called scorpion 😐

I fought Jade once as a younger and she bodied me and once smoke

Ahh yes MK1 ,Mk2,Mk3, Killer Instinct, Street fighter... You know what I mean ..... Tekken, 🤔 what else 😂

Did anyone notice on the moon? SANTA CLAUSE RIDING SLAY silhouette????

I beat him on the SNES On my first try Because the SNES does not have the Shadow What i did: Character: scorpion 1: double flawless 2: toasty fatality 3: pit stage 4: not blocked 5: defeat reptile

I was around arcades all the time in the early 90s and I literally never saw this being done once. There were rumours about Reptile, but no one actually saw it. I bet 99% of MK machines never had a player unlock Reptile! Amazing to see

lol very cool but very complicated. If you found that out by accident then you wasted your life 🤣

So I remember finding reptile as a kid, I just don't remember doing all of that to do it. Its possible I did though, game informer was a thing then and I know I used to live and die by stuff like that.

The very first video game I was ever introduced to as a 7 year old & the very first introduction to a "Secret Character" in history & in video game history because I didn't even know what a "secret character" was till I played this game in 1994 & I believe this is the very first true "secret character" also so Reptile is so legendary for that reason alone!!!!! I kinda wish they never brought him back in any of the sequel games or movies because of the particular reason alone!!!! I did think he was shown perfectly in the original MK film as well because nobody expected him to pop up in that film at least as a actual battle/fight/match/ninja form so he will always be the he greatest most legendary"secret character" that will ever exist in human history ❤ This also has to be the hardest "secret character" to unlock 🔓 in video game history also!!!!

Why does it say Scorpion instead of Reptile? That seems pretty half assed considering how hard it is to get to this fight.

Once experienced this on the arcade machine one guy who was playin the accidentally unlocked reptile on the same stage he was playin as sub-zero

Still trying to figure out why his name is still scorpion after the announcer said he’s reptile 😂

Reptile seçilmiyor mu ?

Secret boss fight to the death!

Back when surprises existed...

When I discovered how to fight Reptile, I couldn't believe how easy it was to find him and beat him

You used to need a roll of quarters to do that

Lembro da primeira vez que chamei o ninja Verde, era muitas pessoas ao redor e eu jogando, quando consegui chamar, todo mundo vibrou, imagine a comemoração de brasileiro é outro nível, quando ganhei do ninja Verde, foi uma festa, fui um dos primeiros a conseguir o feito na época.

One of the few things people would to come to see at an MK cabinet, a fight with reptile Side note, bet you there was a guy who tore this game apart inside and out, spending all their money, playing each and every day. They know every character inside and out, they win tournaments, fatality every fight. The only time they get upset is if they fail personal challenges like getting hit, not winning in record time, not fighting reptile whenever possible.

I'll never forget i did this by accident as a kid, and i lost the fight to reptile and was never able to find him again lol

Oh snap, a Santa Claus sighting 😂😂😂

Scorpion's fatality requires holding Block. Is he unable to reach Reptile?

one time I was fighting reptile in TV games before

How the hell people figured this out?

down down down down hight punch

Lol you are playing on such an easy mode. Subzero would have jumped up with a standing kick when you kept jumping in the corner to kick. Also blocked more.

Reptile is the mixture of scorpion and subzero but he is different in MK2 3 and the rest.
