With Mortal Kombat having a series of mini-games such as, "Test Your Might",
"Test Your Sight", "Test Your Luck", "Test Your Strike", and other suggested mini-games I've brought up like, "Test Your Speed" and "Test Your Knowledge", you could have another mini-game called "Test Your Reflexes" which would test the video game players reflexes.

In this mini-game portion of the video game, a video game player's character would be placed in a confined box where enlonged sharpened pics would shoot through the walls towards your character, logs of trees would shoot laterally across the screen towards your character or drop down from the ceiling. You could also have a medicine ball swing towards your character and disappear, parts of the floor could crumble beneath prescribed parts of the floor, sectioned parts of the wall, or targets could appear that would require you to strike with a physical punch or kick. Sharpened swords and saws could buzz through the walls of the box aimed at slicing your character. An ghostly figure would appear requiring you to enact a quick string of combos before disappearing. It could be similar to the movie scene with Harrison Ford and Sean Connery in the movie "Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Arc" where he goes in the cave to find the "Holy Grale" and faces those set of traps.

All these set of stimuli would be forcing you as a video game player to make splits decisions, think on your feet, and react with sharpened reflexes such as ducking, jumping in the air, dodging left or right, attacking or defending based on a series of stimuli presented to you at unannounced times. And throughout a prescribed measure of time, the set of stimuli could increase in speed, frequency and in numbers such as releasing two sets of stimuli simentaneously. This could be the case with the increase in difficulty as a character climbs up the arcade ladder whether in arcade mode or tag team mode. It can look like a being trapped in a torture chamber or something to that effect.

Comments and criticisms are welcomed and much appreciated. Even if you think this idea is a completely stupid and corny.
