Mortal Kombat 11 has just been released, and in classic NetherRealm humour, the game is
filled with a bunch of fantastic easter eggs, just waiting for players to find them!
So today, we’re counting down a few of our favourites with our list of the top 10 easter
eggs you missed in Mortal Kombat 11.
And this is by no means a comprehensive list, since the game is so brand spanking new, so
if we’ve missed some, be sure to let us know what you spotted in those comments below!
So with that in mind, let’s get to it!
10 Dan Forden Toasty Let’s start off our list with a returning
Easter Egg to the MK series, the appearance of Dan Forden toasty.
It occurs on the tournament stage, and appears on the middle of the stage on the big netherrealm
poster in the right hand corner.
All you need to do is continuously upper cut, regardless of fighter, and he’ll pop up
for a quick second.
This is an easter egg that has been appearing in the games since they’re early days, starting
with 1993’s Mortal Kombat
9 Elsa There’s a ton of Easter Eggs that appear
in the fighter’s dialogue at the start of matches.
This one in particular is a reference to Disney’s Elsa, from the hit animated blockbuster Frozen.
This one occurs in the match up between Cassie Cage and Frost, the latter being the final
character revealed on the game’s roster.
Cassie Cage says to her, “Hey there Elsa”, to which Frost replies, “Why does everyone
call me that?”
Cassie then responds with, “Oh honey, let me help you”.
In case you’re one of the few people who haven’t seen Frozen, just like Frost, clearly,
Elsa has ice powers.
See the connection?
Yeah.
8 The Matrix Speaking of Cassie Cage, she’s got another
great intro when fighting against Johnny Cage that references the Matrix.
Johnny says “no one can be as strong, or as fast, as a Cage”, to which she replies,
“you trying to tell me I can dodge bullets?” to which Johnny replies, “that when you’re
ready, you won’t have to”.
This is a reference to a scene in the very first Matrix film in which Morpheus has a
conversation with Neo, introducing him to Agent Smith.
The dialogue is referenced almost verbatim.
And fun fact, NetherRealms had almost included Neo in the Injustice roster but didn’t.
7 Harry Potter Speaking of films, when you have a game that’s
published by Warner Bros Interactive Entertainment, the references you can legally pull off are
insane.
Including Harry Potter references, another franchise owned by Warner Brothers.
When Noob Saibot is fighting against himself, there’s a line of dialogue in which the
fighter tells his ghost of an opponent to “return to your deathly hollow”, which
is a reference to the Deathly Hallows from Harry Potter.
6 Tinder Seriously, Cassie Cage has ALL the best lines
in this game!
Another one that comes from the start of her match up with Erron Black, Cassie says to
the fighter, “this your idea of flirting, Erron?” to which he replies, “easy sugar,
just being friendly.”
And her response?
“This is me swiping left.”
This is a reference to Tinder, with swiping left being passing, or rejecting, or whatever
you want to call it.
Oh digital dating.
5 Skyrim Okay, seriously, last Cassie Cage one, I promise.
If you’re a fan of Bethseda’s Elder Scrolls series, specifically Skyrim, this line of
dialogue is right up your alley.
When fighting Shao Khan, this is the dialogue that goes down.
Shao Kahn says, “Prostrate yourself, Earthrealmer.”
To which Cassie replies, “Can’t.
Took an arrow to the knee.”
SHE KNOWS THE MEMES, YOU GUYS.
SHE KNOWS THE MEMES.
In case you haven’t played Skyrim, or I guess, didn’t use the internet back in 2011,
this is a reference to the famous “I used to be an adventurer like you, then I took
an arrow in the knee” line of dialogue from the NPC guards in Skyrim.
4 Goro’s Dinning Hall Those who remember the Mortal Kombat movie
might recognize some of the details in this stage found in the story mode of the game.
That table there?
That’s where Goro ate that turkey leg at – it’s something that exclusively appeared
in the film and hasn’t been seen in any of the previous games.
You can even spot Kano’s skeleton eating a turkey leg at the head of the table.
3 Make Outworld Great Again There’s a cheeky little line of dialogue
from Shao Khan that the character says before battling against Kollector – Let us make
outworld great again!
Sound familiar?
It’s clearly a reference to the famous president Trump campaign slogan Make America great again.
2 DC Speaking of lines of dialogue, Raiden has
a line of dialogue that he says when fighting against Sub Zero – Raiden begins with saying
“I dreamt of a strange and unjust world” to which Sub Zero responds, “with a dark
knight and a caped wonder?”
This is a reference to DC characters Batman and Superman, and the fact that both Raiden
and Sub Zero were characters who appeared in Injustice 2, another game developed by
MK’s NetherRealm Studios and directed by Ed Boon.
1 Toy Story And finally, a cute little easter egg that
references Toy Story.
In Toy Story, Woody, a cowboy toy owned by a boy named Andy (in case you’re unfamiliar
with the series) has Andy’s name written on the bottom of his boot.
When Johnny Cage wins a match in MK11, no fatality, he’ll pull out an action figure
of himself and make it do a series of moves.
Look closely.
On the boot of toy says the name Cassie.
It was something that was removed in Cage’s reveal trailer, but appears in the actual
gameplay.
Cassie debuted back in Mortal Combat X in 2015, and is the daughter of Johnny Cage and
Sonya Blade.
So it’s kind of cute to think she had an action figure of her father that she played
with growing up.
There we have it friends!
