Hi, loving the game, especially theatre of magic... Don't know if this was already talked in the forum, but while playing on the iPad i found that if you hold the right flipper as soon you touch the start button it displays "Mortal Kombat 3 hints enabled". It seems that if you spell t-h-e-a-t-r-e it will give Mortal Kombat hints but I wasn't able to reproduce this last part.

Yes, this is a fairly well-known Easter Egg. Completing THEATRE will get you a code to unlock stuff in the arcade version of MK3.

Thanks. I just did it by accident earlier today and couldn't figure out how to do it again.

I saw the MK3 hints mentioned occasionally on the DMD throughout the game, and I spelled THEATRE at least twice, but never saw any actual hints about MK3.

I was surprised by the lack of information on this subject, online or elsewhere. So I figured I'd play around with it, and see what I could find out.
It seems to give out the hints randomly while you are spelling T-H-E-A-T-R-E, not when you've spelled the whole thing. Sometimes I would get one on the first letter, sometimes I would spell the whole word without getting one, most of the time it was somewhere in between. I tried to look for a pattern, but couldn't find one. The clues themselves also seem random, as you pass through the left orbit you are shown one of six pictures (I caught 4 of them, see below). As to what they mean... I have no clue, perhaps someone with some MK3 knowledge can enlighten the subject.

You enter diffrent combinations of symbols at the beginning of a round for a special effect, each symbol requires a certain number of button pesses and you only had a limited time during the character Vs. screen to enter.

On the VS screen (in 2 player mode), you can cycle through the 6 symbols by hitting Low Punch, Block, and Low Kick on both sides. Cycle backwards by hitting UP and the button. The numbers are the number of times you hit the button.

Ipdb says to hold down the right flipper button as you push start to get the clues. Not sure what affect the code does, though. I assume it's the no power bars, since none of the symbols are repeated.
