  • The Mortal Kombat games have never been one to shy away from controversy, but sometimes the games were just too extreme and had to be censored for one reason or another. In this video we’ll be looking at the various censorships that the series has endured during its time as one of the most violent and over the top fighting series in gaming. For this list we’ll be looking at the times blood and gore were cut or changed, and even environments had to be edited to get past the ESRB. What was the most surprising time Mortal Kombat was censored for you? Share your experiences in the comments.

    I don't think the pit on the Genesis was because of censorship. I think it was because of limitations of the hardware. It was missing all kind of sounds all kind of extra details, but it still had the blood and the fatalities. So I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure the pit was missing things because of limitations of the hardware

      You can still do The Pit fatality in the Sega Genesis version, but you have to enter the ABACABB code at the code of honor screen at the beginning or you can enter the DULLARD code on the main menu screen.
      Either way, you can activate the blood & gore as well as The Pit fatality.
      It just won't work if the blood is off.

      While I agree with you, I slightly disagree with some of the reasoning. I'm more willing to bet that it was missing sounds because the Genesis had a garbage sound chip. Possible that they could have still have added them in but made it sound worse

      I grew up on the Super Nintendo version & I wouldn't play the Sega Genesis version till I was in my mid to late 20s.
      I will say that the Super Nintendo version looks better with its sprite animations & more detailed backgrounds + I like the sounds & scarier sounding music better & also, you didn't have to upgrade to a different controller for a better experience, but you could if you wanted & it also has the full Shang Tsung defeat sequence (where all the souls come out of him), which is missing on the Sega Genesis version
      Sega Genesis on the other hand had smoother controls compared to the laggy Super Nintendo controls & blood (if you enabled the code) as well as Arcade accurate (though more pixelated) character bio & ending artwork that the Super Nintendo version lacked, but it came highly recommended to upgrade to a 6 button controller from the standard 3 button controller for a better experience.
      If you have a Sega CD & get the underrated Sega CD version, it's pretty much identical to the Sega Genesis version, except somewhat better sprite animations & Arcade accurate music, but most of it is swapped to different arenas (The Courtyard music at The Warrior Shrine & in Goro's Lair for example).
      Watch the Mortal Kombat 1 episode of What's the Difference by Console Wars for a more in depth explanation between the 2 Sega console versions.
      Super Nintendo controls
      -L or R = Block
      -Y = High punch
      -B = Low punch
      -A= Low kick
      -X = High kick
      Sega Genesis & Sega CD 3 button controls
      -A = Punch
      -B = Low kick
      -C = High kick
      -Start = Block
      Sega Genesis & Sega CD 6 button controls

      Yeah, but DC didn't want an M-rated game at the time, they specifically wanted to keep the game T-rated, so Midway had to make sure the amount of blood was less, the heroes didn't do "fatalities" and that the fatalities were not gory. This was by design otherwise there would've never been a Mortal Kombat VS DC.
