Some Kombat Kodes require both players input their codes, while others work with just one person inputting them. For example, to activate the 'Armless Kombat' Kode, both players much cycle the left icon nine times, and cycle the center and right icons once each. The numbers below correlate to each player's three icons and how many times the icon must be cycled. Each player can cycle a set of three icons by tapping buttons on his controller. Kombat Kodes are entered on the loading screen of two player matches. Stage fatalities may be unlocked by playing through Challenge Tower.

Alternate costumes can also be unlocked by playing through Tournament mode. Secret fatalities and alternate costumes are unlocked by making purchases in the game's Krypt screen.
