The following Krypts have the corresponding bonus.

FMV INTROS:
If you let the game demo, you will see the FMV of the first Video Teaser from MKDA with Scorpion performing a Kata. Also other characters will perform a Kata as well. I have left it demo for a while & have only seen Kitana, Quan Chi, & Frost.  After Blaze is unlocked, he will perform a Kata also.  After Mokap is unlocked, he will be in a demo fight!
Info By: Joe Endy

Random character select:
Highlight Shang Tsung (for player one) or Quan Chi (for player two) at the character selection screen, then hold Up + Start.

Alternate costumes:
After the appropriate costumes are unlocked in the Krypt, press Start at the character selection screen to access the new costume.

Versus mode stage select:
Press (PS2 / R1) ( Xbox / Black Button) (GameCube / Z Button) before either player chooses a character to get a screen with a screenshot of a stage. Then, press Left or Right to change it to the desired stage.

Versus mode skill select:
Press (PS2 / L2)( Xbox / White Button) (GameCube / X Button) before either player chooses a character.

Background FMV sequence:
Press (PS2 / Triangle) ( Xbox / B Button) (GameCube / B Button) at the main menu & it will return to the movie showing the story leading up to the start of MKDA.

Victory pose select:
Each character has end-of-battle poses. Perform the following when the "Finish Him/Her" message appears.

Hint: Play as Blaze:
Successfully complete all missions in Konquest mode for all fighters. Then, highlight Raiden at the character selection screen and hold Down.

Hint: Play as Mokap:
Successfully complete all missions in Konquest mode for all fighters. Then, highlight Cyrax at the character selection screen and hold Down.

Hint: Defeating Moloch:
-Play as Quan Chi, draw your weapon, then hold Away and press 1, 2 (2). Keep repeating this for an easy win.
Info By: Joe Endy

-Play as Shang Shung in the crane style and repeatedly press X or Square until he stops blocking. Then, press Circle and you should get an easy win.

-Play as Raiden, take out your staff, then repeatedly tap R1 for an easy win.

-Play as Kenshi & repeatedly use this long, but very good combo: Press 2, 2, 2, Away, 1, Forward, 1, 4.

Hint: Kitana: Impale move:
To have Kitana throw her fans and impale her opponent, press Away + R1. If done correctly, Kitana will throw her fans and they will stick into her opponent in his/her chest and leg. Unfortunately, you can only do this once. If you opponent blocks it, the fans will fly off screen and you will have lost them for that round.

Hint: Acid Bath stage: Damage opponent:
Get your opponent near the two giant statues in the background. The statues will spit acid out, hurting your opponent. Note: Do not get too close, or you will also get hurt.

Hint: Faster Test Your Might mini-game:
To end the "Test Your Might" mini-game in arcade mode faster, press R2 once you get your strength above the marker. You do not have to hold it for the full amount of time.

Note: This trick requires a controller with an auto fire feature. Set X, Square, Circle, and Triangle to auto and hold them down. The bar will go all the way to the top.

Hint: Monk movement:
Remain idle long enough during Konquest mode and the "monk" will turn around and shrug his shoulders at you.

Glitch: Repeatedly fall and recover during fatality:
Use a fighter that impales an opponent with their weapon and loses it (Shang Tsung, Frost, or Mei Lei). In the second round, impale your opponent with your weapon. When the "Finish Him/Her" message appears, your opponent will repeatedly fall down and get back up.

Glitch: Manual illustration:
The instruction manual shows a different character selection screen than what actually appears during the game.

Glitch: Cyrax:
This glitch requires two rounds and can be practiced in versus mode. For the first round, have Cyrax beat your opponent down to approximately one quarter health. Start out in the Ninjitsu stance, then do the Square(2), Away + Square, L1 combo. When your opponent gets knocked in the air, quickly shoot out a Close Bomb (Forward, Away, Square). By this time your opponent should be landing on the ground. Then, quickly do the Slice And Dice attack (Away, Forward, Circle). If done correctly, the bomb will blow your opponent over your head and the saw will come out. If they accidentally get caught with the saw, it will not work. The bomb should also kill your opponent, so you will need to estimate how much health to start at. The saw will now be hanging out of your chest for the entire second round. Note: If done in arcade mode, do not let your opponent hit you or the saw will disappear. To continue this glitch, in the second round fight your opponent as usual. When "Finish Him/Her" appears, get about to sweeping distance and switch to the fatality stance. Then, shoot out a Close Bomb so it lands at your opponent's feet, then do the Forward(2), Up, Triangle fatality. If done correctly, your will start the fatality then the bomb will blow your opponent over Cyrax. They will then slide over to the claw and it will be holding them strangely. If done with the saw hanging out, it will appear as if your opponent is getting slammed into the blade. If the fatality is done in versus mode, your opponent will be standing during it. If done in arcade mode, your opponent will flop on the floor like a fish.

Hint: Kenshi Immune To Sonya's Kiss Of Death Move:
Since Kenshi is blind, Sonya's Kiss Of Death move has no affect to him!

Hint: Kenshi: Fatality restrictions:
When playing as Kenshi, the "eye removal' part of his fatality will not work against Cyrax, Johnny Cage or himself. Note: If you do his fatality on Kano, only one eye will pop out.

Hint: Easy Money #1:
Choose a vs. game and load a profile for each fighter. Make sure each has a nice amount of each coin. Wager one round as normal and then after the first fight has ONLY player one open the wager tag but not player 2. Have player one press left or right and they will hear a coin sound and then press up and you will hear coins being bet. The sound will stop and hit the wager button again to make the tag disappear. Now both fighters choose characters and fight with player 1 beating player 2. Player one will win money but Player 2 WILL NOT lose any. Within a hour you can rack up enough to open all coffins.

With the Xbox hit the right trigger to open the wager window and on the PS2 hit the R2 button.

When you open the wager tab with player one the coins are as follows to bet since you cant tell what coin you are betting.

Right once and up = Onyx
Right twice and up = Jade
Right three and up = Ruby
Right four and up = Gold
Right five and up = Platinum
Right six and up = Sapphire

Hint: Unlimited Sapphire Koins:
Use the "Easy Koins" trick, and instead of pressing Right(6) to get the Sapphre Koins, just press Up. If you hear a sound, hold Up. Then, when it stops, press R2 on the other controller to open the wager screen. It should say some number and have the Sapphire Koin below it. Press X on a controller. If you have less Sapphire than the displayed number, both players should drop to zero, then it should read 10000000. Go into the Krypt and you should have a large number of Koins.

Hint: Easy Money #2: (XBOX ONLY!)
This trick requires a memory card in controller one and nothing in controller two. Duplicate the saved data from the game from the memory card to the hard drive. Load the game and the screen after the Midway logo should be that of two memory cards. The one on the left should be the one with your data from controller one and nothing will be showing in the other. Start the game and go to versus mode. Enter the profile code that you created (this information will automatically pull the data from the memory slot of controller one. Then, use controller two and input the same profile code. This will pull the data off the hard drive. Press R to make the wage bar appear on both controllers. The wage screen will appear. Wage off the maximum for whatever Koin you want to choose, and agree on both controllers. The game will then return to the character selection screen. Choose any character for both controllers. Win the matches with controller one. After you win the two matches, you win the money and the data will save to controller one's memory card. Keep betting, fighting, and winning until you get all of the money from controller two. Then, exit the game and eject the game disc. Go to memory option on the screen and delete the data on the hard drive. Note: Make sure it is the small Mortal Kombat symbol inside the bubble and not the large one on the left side of the bubble. Back out and go to the memory card. Look for your data and copy it over to the hard drive. After it saves, back out of it, close the disc tray and start again. Repeat this procedure to get as much money as needed.

NOTE:  The Saved Game file on the PS2 & Game Cube memory card CAN NOT BE COPIED TO ANOTHER MEMORY CARD!!!

COMBOS:

Quan Chi: Combos:
Play as Quan Chi and pull out his swords. Repeatedly press X, Circle. This will give you a 4 -hit combo. When you block your opponent, press Down + X. This makes Quan Chi spin his swords at the opponent from his blocking stance.

Scorpion: Combos:
This combo is fairly easy to do; it is only a series of repeated attacks. Have him in the Hapkido stance. Then, start the combo with 2, 2, 4. Repeat the process until your opponent is defeated. The combo is somewhat weak but its an easy combo to execute. This combo also works well against Moloch.

For an easy eight-hit combo, switch to Scorpion's ninja sword. Execute the Spear while opponent is still dazed, then execute the Hell Raiser attack. You have to be quick with the remainder of the combo. Press Square, Circle(2), X. While he is in the air, press Circle(2). This does 41% damage to your opponent without his weapons out. It will do 51% damage to an opponent with his weapons out.

Sub-Zero: Combos:
Take out your Kori Sword and press Square (1-4 times), X(3), Circle(2). If done correctly, it will stun your opponent then you will stomp him three times and as he is getting up, double kick him.
