How To Find Pink Floyd Fight in Mortal Kombat 1

by

One fascinating Easter Egg from the Mortal Kombat series’ past is the appearance of Pink Floyd in Mortal Kombat 1. Here’s a breakdown of how to summon him, along with the intriguing backstory of this unique encounter.

Mortal Kombat’s content has consistently showcased a unique blend of elements throughout its history. The game’s graphic violence, gore, and mutilation have sparked debate for over three decades, yet it is also known for offering players options like Friendships and Babalities to end fights peacefully and featuring the iconic exclamation “Toasty!” from Dan Forden at times.

As a die-hard fan, I’ve uncovered some hidden gems tucked away within each level, and MK1 is no exception. The enigmatic figure known as Floyd, or Pink Floyd as we all know him, has made an unexpected appearance in Mortal Kombat 1, providing a one-of-a-kind battle experience and enticing rewards. It’s the relentless dedication of fellow fans that has brought this secret fight to light.

How To Unlock Floyd in Mortal Kombat 1

To summon the pink ninja Floyd, you need to use a character profile from Mortal Kombat 1 and successfully complete ten out of thirty-seven given challenges.

Initially, I’d like to express my gratitude to you on X for revealing this hidden truth and all the associated details. The sheer amount of effort that must have gone into this discovery is beyond my comprehension, and I can only offer praise for everyone who was part of it.

Here’s a step-by-step guide on what to do, and then I’ll explain further:

  1. Make sure you’re on your primary Mortal Kombat 1 player profile you want to fight Floyd.
  2. Complete the 10 challenges uniquely associated with your profile—it’s random.
  3. Once you’ve done the 10th challenge and the fight has finished, a cutscene follows.
  4. You’re in a field, and Pink Floyd appears with a message saying, “You found Floyd!”
  5. You now fight Floyd!
  6. A limited amount of retries are given if you lose to Floyd.
  7. If you lose, you need to repeat steps 1-6.

Note: Some users have mentioned that they managed to unlock Floyd within fewer than 10 challenges. Since you receive an alert when you complete one of your tasks, make sure to keep count of how many you’ve finished.

It might end up being 10, or you may need less—pray the Earthrealm Gods are smiling at you.

Who is Pink Floyd in Mortal Kombat 1?

In its early years, Mortal Kombat was recognized for a particular character named Floyd who had a unique ability to change colors, similar to a ninja’s palette swap. This character is also a nod or tribute to the renowned English rock group, Pink Floyd.

In the early development of Mortal Kombat, the company Midway utilized a single ninja sprite as a cost-effective method for creating new characters. They altered the color of the sprite to represent each character, such as Scorpion being yellow, Sub-Zero blue, and Reptile green. This technique was economical in terms of design and programming resources while also fitting into the game’s storyline.

We’ve included Ermac, a lighthearted reference to the well-known MK error macro bug, in all red tones. Additionally, Smoke appears in shades of grey. Similarly, Rain, whose name is musically linked due to being inspired by Prince’s Purple Rain song (a favorite artist of MK co-creator Ed Boon), appears in various shades of purple.

Among the scarce color options, a pink ninja figure eludes many. However, Floyd eventually surfaces, proving elusive to locate and challenging to pin down. Yet, the obstacles one must overcome to encounter this character are now more apparent!

This information might seem overwhelming at first, but I hope it helps you in your pursuit to conquer challenges. You’re about to face a showdown with Pink Floyd. Do keep me updated on how things go against that formidable opponent.
