How to get Koins fast in Mortal Kombat 1
The fastest way to gain Koins in Mortal Kombat 1 is to play Invasions mode. This new single-player adventure mode is somewhat of a replacement for the Krypt in previous games. It is more of a game mode than the Krypt ever really was, but it is also your main source for the various Koins in the game, like regular Koins and the much more valuable Seasonal Kredits.

You will earn plenty of Koins and Seasonal Kredits by progressing through Invasions mode for a number of reasons. First, there are rewards for completing stages in Invasions mode. Second, Invasions mode is the fastest way to rank up, which also provides currency. Third, and probably the most important, you can complete challenges while you play Invasions.
