Goro's Lair
1. Section 1 of Goro's Lair. Simply throw an enemy into the skeleton on the wall
for your very first Red Koin.
2. Section 2 of Goro's Lair. Here, the Red Koin is hidden in the lower left corner.
You will need an enemy for this. Do a launch or throw that launches. Then while
the enemy is airborne, jump into them and perform an air throw. This will propel
you slightly higher and into the Koin.
3. The Pit. If you're playing Ko-Op you will hear one of your characters say something
about the moon. This is a hint. While you are on the bridge, fire projectiles at
the moon. The exact spot to hit is unclear. But keep at it and the Red Koin will
appear on the bridge.
4. The Pit. After crossing the bridge, jump down to the south. You'll land on a
ledge with another Red Koin.
5. Chandelier Room. You'll notice the obvious Red Koin in the background. But we'll
get to that later. For now, toss an enemy high into the chandelier. It will crash
down and reveal a Red Koin.
6. Stalactite Room. Impale all the enemies onto the ceiling spikes to cause a Red
Koin to appear in the lower left corner by the breakable wall. You'll need to use
the air throw method explained in B.
7. [++] Stalactite Room. Step on the Ko-Op switches. In this next room you and your
partner will need to hurl an enemy at each of the bells, relatively close in timing.
A bridge will then appear and allow you to obtain the caged Koin seen in the Chandelier
Room.
8. Pit Part 2. After defeating the boss, long jump across the bridge. At the end
you will need to long jump south onto a small platform holding a Koin. It's easier
to see if you can go into Panoramic Cam.

Wu Shi Academy
1. [*] Warrior's Shrine. You'll need Swing ability for this. At the very beginning
of the Road to the Academy area, take a left at the first path split. Long Jump
the pit, Fist of Fury the statue and move on. Now you'll need to Swing on the Bamboo
Polls and activate the statue. Once inside, inspect the left most statue 3 times
to trigger a fight with Ermac. After his defeat you'll get a Red Koin.
2. Road to the Academy. When you reach the catapult area, head forward and knock
the Masked Guard into the catapult near him (the 3rd). This splatters him on a wall
and leaves behind a Koin. To access it, backtrack slightly and take the steps up.
Take the right path and knock the Tarkata into the Spike Balls. This removes the
barricade by the Masked Guard. Return and continue on, jumping across the spike
pit. The Red Koin will against the wall.
3. Road to the Academy. Right after the first Masked Guard is a Tarkata with a catapult
above him. Launch him into it and it will break a barrier. Backtrack to the steps
with a Lion Statue. Climb them and take the left path to your Koin.
4. [++] Academy Area I. Step on the switches to open a door. You cannot enter until
the fighting in this area has ceased. Walk to the end of the path for an easily
obtainable Red Koin.
5. [++] [*] Academy Area I. This is also in the Ko-Op room. Within the tree branches
is another Koin. You need to Double Jump to obtain it.
6. [*] Academy Area I. This is a very obscure one. In the area where you cut the
ropes to dump the large pots, there will be two walls on either side of that path.
The left wall holds a Koin atop it. You must Wall Run up it then perform a Double
Jump.
7. Academy Area II. Jump atop the building with a Spike Ball imbedded in it's side.
Jump onto the ledge to your right. Inside will be the Johnny Cage VS Koin.
8. Portal Pathway. Head to the area with 2 Tarkata and a spiked wall. There are
two methods to get this Koin. The main idea is to impale a Tarkata on the wall and
use his body as a stepping stone. It's easy to do if you have Double Jump. But,
this can be done on your first pass by throwing one Tarkata low and the other high,
using them as steps to the Koin.
9. Portal Pathway. Right in front of the portal is a large spike pit. Once you have
the Swing ability you can jump (by the Save Statue) onto the poles. Swing left and
onto the small platform nesting a nice Red Koin.

Portal / Evil Monastery
1. [++] Right after you enter from the Academy, head left and up the ramp. Use the
Ko-Op switches to extend a platform. Hop up to find your next Koin.
2. [*] On the lower level, take the portal that leads to the Foundry entrance. Right
in front of the Foundry is a Golden MK symbol. You must perform a fatality on it
to get a Red Koin. To do this, hop up to the Wasteland entrance. Throw a Tarkata
down to the symbol and take care of business.
3. Entrance Room. Look out the first window. There will be a Golden Koin. You must
throw a projectile at it to get the Red Koin.
4. [++] [*] Spike Room. Step on the Ko-Op switches and enter the underground passage.
Inside you'll need to Fist of Fury the statue to raise the gate and nab the Koin.
5. Evil Buddha Room. You'll need to impale an enemy on each of the Buddha's spiked
hands. Afterwards a Red Koin will appear behind it's head.
6. Monastery Tower. Past the monk you first see will be a broken column. Jump atop
it then jump to the left onto the roof. Head all the way left for the Katana VS
Koin.
7. Kitana Battle. Simply re-enter the area to make a Red Koin magically appear.

Living Forest
1Y. [*] Entrance. You'll need the Double Jump & Swing abilities. Double Jump
and grab onto the tree branch south of the Save Statue. Swing up into the Tree Village.
About halfway through the village you'll pass a flat tree platform that's all the
way to the right. Look right to see a Golden Koin. Nail it with a projectile to
get your Red Koin.
2Y. [*] Entrance. At the end of the Tree Village (as mentioned in letter A) you'll
run into Mileena yet again. Her defeat nets you another Koin.
3Y. Small Waterfall Area. To the left there will be two clay soldiers. Break one's
shield then toss him into the door of the small structure. Inside will be your Koin.
4Y. Small Waterfall Area. This begins in the Large Waterfall Area. Lure a clay soldier
over to the large stone pillar located on the right side of the stream, to the right
of where you entered. Toss him into it and return. The Waterfall is no more and
you can get your Reptile VS Koin.
5Y. Large Waterfall Area. This Koin is hidden behind the living tree near the clay
soldiers.
6Y. Snake Head Entrance. Just to the left of the Giant Snake Head, there will be
a small stone wall. It's broken on one corner. Jump behind it there and search for
the hidden Koin.
7Y. Statue Room. Re-Enter the room to do another round of statue bashing. This nets
you a Koin and some experience.
8Y. [++] Statue Room. Step on the Ko-Op switches in front of the Buddha. Inside,
there will be an obvious Koin to the far right of the room.
9Y. [++] Statue Room. Right behind the rock where you found H, will be another hidden
Koin.
10Y. The Tunnel. Notice every other arch has a Reptile Eye? Well the 3rd one is
not lit. You must stand on the decline after the 3rd and blindly aim your projectile
at the 4th eye. It can be a pain but keep at it!
Return To Top
Soul Tombs
1Y. Entrance. This can easily be passed by. Right after you exit the portal look
to your left for a Golden Koin. Nail it for another Red Koin.
2Y. [*] Soul Tomb Main Room. Exactly opposite where you enter will be a large arch.
Wall Run up one side and Double Jump into the Koin.
3Y. Red Room I [Iron Maiden Room]. Knock 3 enemies into the Maidens for a Koin.
4Y. Red Room II [Balcony Room]. Cross the room and climb the wall. To your immediate
right will be a statue. Fist of Fury it. Jump right to a small platform, then onto
a small wooden beam, then to another platform for the Baraka VS Koin.
5Y. Red Room II [Balcony Room]. Drop down to the first floor after busting the statue,
the Koin should be right there.
6Y. [*] Red Room III [Spiked Pathways]. Right above the exit into the Butcher Room
you'll see a skull switch. Double Jump and kick it to spawn a Shadow Priest on the
center platform. Kill him for your Koin.
7Y. [*] Red Room IV [Butcher Room]. This Koin is obstructed from view by a piece
of the foreground. Head to the lower left side of the room and do a Wall Jump off
the wall to get the Koin.
8Y. Red Room V [Spiked Ceiling Room]. Look outside, near the center of the room.
A floating Golden Koin awaits your projectile. Note that Liu Kang's fireball does
not want to penetrate the wall but Kung Lao's hat does. So if you are Liu and solo,
throw a Tarkata into that section of the wall to break it first.
9Y. Red Room VI [Fire Grates]. In the background will be a skeleton walking around.
Throw skulls at him until he dies. That'll teach him!
10Y. Red Room VII [Orochi Room]. Stand on the small box-like platform for a few
seconds until it lowers and reveals a Koin.
11Y. Green Room II [Chains Room]. This is one of the most obscure ones in my opinion.
On the right side of the room, watch the chains in the background. Eventually one
will rise with a 4-way bone hook on it. Quickly knock an enemy into it to reveal
the Koin.
12Y. Green Room III [Outdoors]. On the center platform knock a Tarkata into a Pterodactyl
flying overhead for the Koin.
13Y. Green Room IV [Fan Room]. Forget the Koin right now. Instead proceed to the
next room. You'll need to knock a Tarkata into the spikes to lower the platform.
Hop up and continue around. You'll be back in the Fan Room but higher up. Jump to
the center platform. Knock the Tarkata into the fan's blades. This will slow the
fan. Then I simply Long Jumped off the platform into the Red Koin.
14Y. Green Room V [Spiked Platform Room]. On the first floor look to the left. There
will be a stone statue that you can Fist of Fury. Behind it will be your Koin.
15Y. [*] Green Room V [Spiked Platform Room]. Right after getting M, Wall Jump onto
the small cage for a Red Koin.
16Y. Green Room VI [Soul Collection Room]. Simply re-enter this room after breaking
the orb to find a Red Koin.

Wasteland
1. Entrance. Impale an enemy on the large center spike for a Koin.
2. Entrance. Climb to the upper area and head slightly to the right. In a little
alcove will be your Koin.
3. Boulder Room. Make your way to the top. It's very hard to miss this one, it is
even shown in the cinematic. It's on the right side of the top area.
4. Elemental Knights Room. Re-enter this room to find our old friend the Orochi
Hell beast. Beat him again for a Koin.
5. Blood Lake. After your lengthy ride you'll be at a large door with two gargantuan
Lion statues on either side. Wall Run up the left wall and onto the Lion's back
for the Sub-Zero VS Koin.
6. Spiked Wheel Room. After climbing Sub-Zero's Icefall, do a Wall Run over the
top of the wheel for another Koin.
7. Lion's Temple Room. On the far right side, near the bottom you'll see a Golden
Koin just off the balcony. As per usual, hit it with a projectile to get your Red
Koin.
8. Goro's Room. Re-Enter this room to find another magical Koin awaiting you.
9. Dead Pool. Knock a few zombies into the acid to make a Koin appear high on the
metal grating in the background. Simply climb the grate to get it.
Return To Top
Netherrealm
1. On the first stairway down, perform a Double Jump onto the archway above the
stairs to get the Koin.
Return To Top
Foundry
1. Entrance. On the lower level, take the left path past the Save Statue. Two archers
will ambush you. Throw one into the cracked wall on the left. A new room opens with
a lava pit. Throw an archer into the pit and use his body to hop up to the Scorpion
VS Koin.
2. Entrance. If you climb the ramp to the higher level, you'll notice a few boards
right above you. You'll need to Wall Run and jump onto those boards to find the
Koin.
3. Entrance. There is a wooden shaft almost directly above the Save Statue. You'll
need to Double Jump off the higher level and Wall Jump from side to side up to Koin.
It can be a bit tricky.
4. Foundry Hub. Jump and kick one of the passing by pots to reveal a Koin down on
the platforms in the lava.
5. Furnace Room. Go inside the furnace and walk left. A Koin is hidden there.
6. Orochi Room. Go the very center of the second floor. Fist of Fury the back wall
and you'll reveal a Golden Koin that you need to shoot.
7. Axe Forge. The goal here is to catch an enemy in the path of the two large swinging
hammers. I find the easiest way to be using the R2 Special and vaulting them upwards
as the hammers come together.
8. Demonic Fountain. After you obtain the Axe, use it to break the pipes in the
Fountain.
