Mortal Kombat 1 Easter Eggs: The Best References And Inside-Jokes Hiding In Plain Sight

Mortal Kombat games have become treasure troves of Easter eggs over the many years that the series has been around, and Mortal Kombat 1 is no exception. With 30 years of history behind it, the latest entry in the blood-soaked franchise pays tribute to its past with cleverly hidden nods to the past, quick references to previous events, and references operating in stealth mode.
It's a thrill to perform lethal chiropractic arts in Mortal Kombat 1, but it's even more fun to spot an Easter egg in the game's many character interactions, collectibles, stages, and more. Some of these are subtle and some are sly winks at the audience, cheerful little audio and visual bonuses that help preserve the past of Mortal Kombat in its refreshed timeline.
We've gathered several of them up below--just in case you missed them--but there are likely a whole lot more hidden throughout the game. From Queen references to fatalities riffing on anime, here's a look at some of the best Mortal Kombat 1 Easter eggs so far. For more info on the game, you can check out GameSpot's Mortal Kombat 1 review,every Mortal Kombat 1 fatal blow,all Mortal Kombat 1 fatalities (sorry, Reptile), and every character in the game.
Take a close look at Johnny Cage's award shelf in the background of his level, and you'll spot a very familiar trophy. It might be hard to recognize when it's not covered in blood and guts, but that's the very same award that Cage used to bludgeon his opponents as part of his Mortal Kombat 11 Fatal Blow and Brutality.
In Liu Kang's New Era timeline, all people have a chance to find peace. Or more specifically, a pizza box design that references sound designer Dan Forden's classic cameo in the corner of multiple Mortal Kombat games. Warning, it's toasty!
You can also hear the line in the background of Johnny Cage's second fatality, just before he sends his unlucky opponent--and fancy car--crashing into his mansion wall.
Cyrax brings his appreciation for Audioslave into Mortal Kombat 1, as his fatality involves him unloading all of his bombs and blowing the entire planet up. Oppenheimer has nothing on this nod to his Mortal Kombat 3 fatality.
During the character pre-matchup sequence, Liu Kang will reference Sun Tzu with the quote, «When you move fall like a thunderbolt,» a line that was first used during the training section for Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance.
If we're getting really technical, Mortal Kombat 1 is the first game to feature a Street Fighter guest character. Johnny Cage's Jean Claude van Damme skin features the actual voice of the muscles from Brussels, and in one sequence, JCVD will say, «Great, I'll be a kickboxer, you be a Street Fighter.»
