What's especially interesting here is how much of the now-iconic animations of Mortal Kombat's two most famous characters was developed on the fly. For example, we felt giving them different stances was worth the 7 extra frames of animation it cost us." But we did have some unique frames made exclusively for one ninja. "One reason we made them ninjas was to get two fighters out of the same motion shoot & memory footprint. "As the most recognizable Mortal Kombat characters, the origin of 'palette swap ninjas' came from both a fantastic story rivalry and a technical solution we needed to fit the game in the limited amount of space (memory) we had," Boon explains in the ensuing text thread. Both characters would have the same basic punch, kick, and jump animations, but had to get there from different resting stances. This is all before Scorpion even had his name, and plans for Sub-Zero (or as Boon notes in the video, "the cold guy,") were simply to take a handful of the Scorpion captures and change the character color. We can hear Boon and Tobias creatively working their way through the shoot, contemplating consequences of including certain motions and movements. ![]() The two minutes and 15 seconds are all of actor Daniel Pesina dressed as Scorpion and posing for the camera. The term palette swap has become something of a pejorative that implies laziness on the part of developers, but that surely wasn't the case in terms of MK1. but he gets weekly manicures and occasionally likes to wear lipstick.Mortal Kombat is known for having the most notable fighting game example of palette swap characters, meaning roster members who use the same basic model and lots of common animations. Make him like the recent meme of John Cena in a skirt. Come on, Ed Boon: make a tough as nails, muscular, bearded ninja, who wears a pink costume. So, I think there is a strong argument that Reiko should be considered the maroon “palette swap” ninja. He was also introduced alongside Tanya, who is often considered to be a yellow female ninja (alongside Kitana, Mileena, Jade, Khameleon, and Skarlet)-with Khameleon even given Tanya-inspired moves in MK:A. But, just look at his MK4 outfit: it’s a ninja outfit without a mask. Yes, he was introduced in the post-2D era. I would also argue that Reiko should be considered a ninja. In regard to white, I can make a (somewhat weak) argument that Takeda has a white costume, he is a member of the Shirai Ryu, and (if he wasn’t introduced in the post-2D era) he would’ve been conceived as a palette swap. There is no orange ninja, sadly (‘cause orange is my favorite color).
