    1. When playing in two player mode, at the vs. screen enter this code: 205-205. With this code in place the winner of the first round will get to fight Smoke at the Hidden Portal stage in the next round.

    2. When playing in two player mode, at the vs. screen enter this code: 989-898. This vs. kombat kode will put both players in a Random 8-Man Tournament Match, if Smoke is among one of the participants for either player then the match will be held at the Hidden Portal stage, if Smoke is not among any of the participants then you'll just fight at any of the ten normal stages.

    Note: Smoke must not be unlock as a playable character in order for the Hidden Portal to be present. For some reason if you unlock Smoke, the Hidden Portal stage will never appear at all.
