- Ultimate Icy Counter
While playing as Sub-Zero, press X(2), Down, Back, X or X(2) to perform Icy Counter. The game registers the opponent's knockback as an attack and can then be countered using Sub-Zero's Icy Counter. If done at the correct angle, you can miss your opponent when countering and set yourself up for another move while your opponent is still frozen.

- Play as Shao Kahn
Successfully complete Mortal Kombat Story mode. Then, press RB at the character selection screen. Notice: Shao Kahn does not have any Fatalities.

- Alternate costumes
At character selection screen, press Begin when choosing a character.

- Easy 'MK Arcade Champion' and 'DC Arcade Champion' achievement
To normally get these achievements, you must complete the game with all characters in Arcade mode from each side. If you do not want to play as all the characters, you can simply play as your favorite character, and once you reach Dark Kahn, press Begin, and choose 'Player Select'. Choose a fighter you have not completed Arcade mode with yet, and defeat Dark Kahn with him or her. Also, it is much easier to play on the Very Easy difficulty so you can defeat Dark Kahn easily with the characters you are not familiar with.
