The blood code that defined the first Genesis Mortal Kombat was no longer needed for the sequel. By 1994 the ESRB rating system existed, and both the Genesis and Super NES versions of Mortal Kombat II shipped with gore included. Probe Software again handled the Genesis conversion for Acclaim.
The roster grows to twelve playable fighters, with Kitana, Mileena, Jax, Baraka, Kung Lao and Reptile joining returning characters, and the tournament moves to Outworld under Shao Kahn. Fighters have multiple Fatalities, and the sequel adds Friendships and Babalities as joke finishers. Kintaro, a tiger-striped Shokan, replaces Goro as the sub-boss. The Genesis conversion was well received and captures more of the arcade's content than the first conversion did. Many consider II the high point of the original trilogy.
