Friendship (Mortal Kombat)

Friendship is a code-based trick, introduced in "Mortal Kombat II" to soften the violence and the controversy that surrounded the fatality, players were able to preform an act of friendship rather than kill their opponent. This included giving a present, blowing bubbles, and turning into a snowman. It is generally accepted that the introduction of Friendships to the Mortal Kombat series was intended to parody the parental outcry that the game was too violent.
