| - It originated as an inside joke between members of the Mortal Kombat development team, and made its way into the game via an image of sound designer Dan Forden appearing in the lower-right corner of the screen, and saying "Toasty!" in a falsetto voice, when the player performed a particularly vicious uppercut. On the Portal stage, if players pressed down and start while Dan's face was still on the screen, then they could qualify to face Smoke. The "Toasty!" joke quickly became an element and reappeared in many places, such as in Mortal Kombat 4, where Dan Forden would say "Toasty 3D!" making a point of the fact that Mortal Kombat 4 was the first game in the series that utilized 3D graphics. In Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance, if the player failed a minigame, one of the taunts could be "Toasty!" It was also discovered in Shaolin Monks, where if the player pulled off a long chain of hits, that Dan Forden would say "Toasty!", but his picture would not appear. If the player pressed Down and Start while Dan was still talking, then they would be awarded with 1000 experience points. It has also appeared in Deception in two places. When playing Chess Kombat and putting the "Kill" spell on another player, Dan will say "Toasty!" on rare occasions. In Deception's Konquest mode, it can be used to advance into the story; to acquire the Earthrealm Kamidogu without obtaining the password first, Shujinko will try "Toasty" as the password and gain access. It's also been stated by one of the first MK staff members that "Toasty!" began as You're Toasted! and just evolved from there. Toasty is also the name of Scorpion's most famous Fatality. In Mortal Kombat II, a specialized Toasty Fatality can make Dan Forden say "Toasty!" after the Fatality with a text appearing that reads "Toasty!" The Toasty exclamation bonus made a return in the ninth installment, Mortal Kombat, with Forden now wearing a gray shirt with a slice of toast with butter superimposed on it. A bonus called "Toasty Boost" is given to the player if a combination of buttons is tapped when Dan appears; when done correctly, the player will have a full X-Ray meter immediately . One of Cassie Cage's fatalities in Mortal Kombat X has her taking a selfie with her opponent and posting it on Friendship social media. One of her friends is Dan Forden in his "Toasty" pose.
