I just got the Game Boy version of MK and it's pretty good.
I have a couple of questions for those who have it ( or those who don't
but know the answers anyways)

- No matter how hard I try, I can't seem to get the finishing moves to 
work.  I remember hearing somewhere that Nintendo thought that the finishing
moves were too gruesome and that they left them out.  Is this true?  If not,
then are there different controls to execute the finishing moves?

- Although the manual says that there is a level screen when you start up
the game, mine just jumps right into the start screen where you pick the 
character.  Is this a possible bug in mine only or are others seeing it
also?

Thanks for the reply.
