It’s been decades since a Mortal Kombat title had any form of seriously exciting secrets to uncover.
Gone are the days when secrets would be shared exclusively via word of mouth and magazine articles. Enter Floyd, a pink ninja who has generated an enormous amount of buzz since his introduction in the January 2025 update patch for Mortal Kombat 1. Much in the same way that the purple ninja Rain was based on a famous Prince track, Floyd and his pink attire is an obvious nod to English rock band Pink Floyd.
Similar to Chameleon, Floyd harnesses moves from all of the series’ male ninjas and has proven to be not only difficult to find, but formidable. There are a total of 37 possible challenges, with each player assigned a random 10 to complete. If you are successful in completing a challenge, a small pink Floyd notification will appear on your player’s side of the screen, bundled with a distinctive guitar riff. Once you have completed your 10 challenges, the screen will smash and you will be given three opportunities to defeat Floyd. If you fail, you will be assigned 10 new challenges and must start from scratch.
In order to assist players we’ve put together a list of all 37 challenges and their requirements. We have also created a handy double-sided checklist in PDF format that will make it easier to mark off each challenge as you go. It’s in international A4 format, so if you live in the United States you’ll need to scale it to US Letter before printing.
