The blood is green in the Super Famicom version.
This game is extremely gory and violent
The blood and gore factor, compared to the first Mortal Kombat, is exponentially increased with more bloodshed and far more violent and graphic fatalities, including depictions of decapitation, complete removal of limbs, characters cut in half vertically and at the waist, and full-body explosions with scattered bones and organs.

Some of the fatalities are very intense in nature (e.g. Kung Lao cutting his opponent in half with his razor hat, leading to being split apart vertically).
Compared to later games in the series (and other violent games in general), the gore factor may not be as shocking as before, but it is still very noticeably graphic.
