I. THE PLOT
------------

For centuries Earth has used Mortal Kombat to defend itself against
the Outworld's emperor, Shao Kahn. But Kahn grows frustrated by failed
attempts at taking Earth through tournament battle. He enacts a plan which
began 10,000 years ago.
During this time Shao Kahn had a queen. Her name was Sindel, and
her young death was unexpected. Kahn's shadow priests, led by Shang
Tsung, make it so Sindel's spirit would someday be reborn: not on the
Outworld, but on the Earth Realm itself.
This unholy act gives Shao Kahn the power to step through the
dimensional gates and reclaim his queen, thus enabling him to finally
seize the Earth Realm.
Upon breaching the portal into Earth, Shao Kahn slowly transforms
the planet into a part of the Outworld itself. Kahn strips the Earth of
all human life: claiming every soul as his own. But there are souls
which Kahn cannot take. These souls belong to the warriors chosen to
represent Earth in a new Mortal Kombat. The remaining humans are
scattered throughout the planet. Shao Khan sends an army of fierce Outworld
warriors to find and eliminate them.

Kano, Sonya, and Jax
--------------------

After the first tournament, Sonya Blade turned up missing. Jax then
embarked on a rescue mission into the Outworld. He found Sonya being held
captive with her nemesis Kano. In freeing Sonya, Jax also frees Kano.
Kano then uses the chance to escape arrest.

Sub-Zero, Sektor, and Cyrax
---------------------------

The ultimate advancement in Lin Kuei technology comes with the
creation of the first cyber-assassin. They begin converting their human
ninjas into souless machines. But Sub-Zero refuses to take part and is
marked for death by his own clan.

Liu Kang and Kung Lao
---------------------

After winning the first Mortal Kombat and escaping from the Outworld,
Liu Kang looks to the future. He begins training a new generation of
Shaolin alongside Kung Lao. But nothing could prepare them for the
unexpected Outworld invasion.

Hop Kick : Press Kick just as you push the joystick in the flip

Turning Punch : Leap over the opponent. When you pass their head, press
a Punch button. The character will turn around and punch
at the opponent.

Turning Kick : Leap over the opponent. When you pass their head, press
a Kick button. The character will turn around and kick
at the opponent.

Death Punch : Also referred to as the Heavy Punch. Rumored to be just
a glitch, it does appear in ALL three Mortal Kombats. To
perform the Death Punch, do a standing punch just as the
opponent is jumping into you. If connected just right,
the Death Punch could take off as much energy as an
uppercut.

III. A "RUN" BUTTON?
---------------------

By far the newest part of the MK trilogy would have to be the 'Run'
button. As you would expect, the Run button makes the opponent run. How
is it useful, then? By running, you will reduce the amount of turtling
from the other player. The opponent will have to think of something else
to do, especially if you run, jump over them, then do a turning kick, and
repeat the process. Plus, by running, you can reach the other character and
perform a combo before they have time to do a move. Basically, the Run
button is something of a scare tactic.

IV. FINISHING MOVES
--------------------

Fatalities
----------

The most memorable part of a Mortal Kombat battle is the Fatality.
The Fatalities in MK3 seem to be tamer than its predecessors(problems with
the AAMA???) To perform a Fatality, you must win the match, then do the
proper joystick/button sequence when "Finish Him!" or "Finish Her!" appears.

Mercies
-------

If a player wants to give someone another chance to fight, or more
time to be pummeled, a player can show mercy on them.

To do a mercy: 1. Win on the third round.
2. Perform the following joystick/button movements:
Hold Run(Down - Down) and release.

Animalities
-----------

What was once a rumor in MK2 has become a reality on MK3. The
winning character will turn into an animal and attack the opponent.

To do an Animality: 1. Perform a Mercy on the opponent.
2. Defeat them again.
3. Perform the proper joystick/button movements.

Stage Fatality
--------------

The Pit is back as well as three new stages: The Subway, The Shao
Kahn Tower, and Scorpion's Lair. In the Pit III the losing opponent is
knocked of into rotating blades and cut apart. On the Subway, the
opponent is uppercutted into the far tracks where they are hit by an
oncoming train. On the Shao Kahn tower, the opponent falls seven stories
onto a bed of spikes. On Scorpion's Lair, the opponent is knocked into a
pool of lava.

To do a Stage Fatality: 1. Defeat your opponent on one of the three stages.
2. Perform the proper joystick/button movements.

(NOTE: If you uppercut while on the Subway, the opponent will fly up to
the Street, where you will continue fighting, and thus be unable to do the
Stage Fatality. Likewise, if you uppercut on Scorpion's Lair, the
opponent will fly up to The Cavern.)

Babalities
----------

Yes, the Babalities are back. Instead of killing the opponent, you
turn them into a baby.

To perform a Babality: 1. Complete your winning round WITHOUT using Block.
2. Perform the proper joystick/button movements

Friendships
-----------

If Babalities weren't enough, the Friendships are back as well.
Instead of killing them, you do something nice. Shao Kahn is hilarious
here as he says, "(Name) wins! Friendship! FRIENDSHIP? Again?"

To perform a Friendship 1. Complete your second winning round without
using Block.
2. Perform the proper joystick/button movements.

Brutalities
-----------

Brutalities? What's that? No one knows. Ed Boon during an chat
on AOL said they were new. Whether or not this was just a way to get
people to pump more quarters in has yet to be seen. Stay tuned.

Joystick/Button Movements
-------------------------

In MK1, finishing moves were completed by first doing a joystick
movement (ex. Forward - Forward), then finishing off with a button (ex.
High Punch). In MK2, players not only had to perform finishing moves
with a joystick movement first and then a button, but also players had to
'charge' up a button with a joystick movement. Charging up a button
means holding the button for a certain amount of time and/or performing a
joystick movement (ex. Hold Low Kick (Forward-Forward-Down-Forward) then
release Low Kick). In, MK3, Midway has gone out in left field. Not only
are there the two types of finishing move styles as listed above, but now
there is button sequencing. This means that there are some finishing
moves that require a sequence of button presses to complete it (ex.
Run-Run-Block-Run-Block). Then, there is a style in which you press the
joystick in a direction and then do a button combination, or a button
combination and then a joystick movement (ex. Run-Run-Run-Up).

V. SPECIAL POINTS OF INTEREST
------------------------------

Game Selection
--------------

When starting Ultimate Mortal Kombat III, you are first given three
choices of game play: Mortal Kombat, 2 on 2 Endurance, and 8-Man Tournament.
Mortal Kombat is just that: One on one fighting. 2 on 2 Endurance is
just like the endurance matches in MK1, when the first character is
defeated, the second one jumps in and takes over. The 8-Man Tournament
is probably the most interesting, and expensive, part of UMK3, as it
costs four dollars(default setting) to play. As it states, it's a
tournament of eight characters, fighting one round each. You lose a
round, that's it!
For the one-player tournament, you now have four towers to choose
from. They are: Novice, Warrior, Master, and Master. On Novice, you
fight one to one with five kombatants, then fight one endurance match
before Motaro and Shao Kahn. On Warrior, you fight six kombatants and
one endurance match. The first Master level gives you seven kombatants
and one endurance match. The second Master level gives you seven
kombatants and two endurance matches.

Endurance Matches
-----------------

Love them or hate them, the endurance matches from MK1 are back. An
endurance match is where you fight two kombatants, one after the other.
You have to defeat them in one round with only one bar of energy while
they both start out fresh. On the second Master level, however, the
second endurance match finds you fighting three kombatants.

Endurance Match Pairings:

1. Liu Kang and Smoke
2. Sub-Zero and Stryker
3. Jade and Reptile
4. Mileena and Ermac
5. Kano and Sonya
6. Sheeva and Shang Tsung
7. Sub-Zero and Classic Sub-Zero
8. Sektor and Sindel
9. Ermac and Jade
10. Jax and Nightwolf
11. Cyrax and Kung Lao

3-Man Endurance Pairings:

1. Reptile, Nightwolf, and Sindel
2. Scorpion, Stryker, and Shang Tsung
3. Scorpion, Stryker, and Kitana
4. Scorpion, Stryker, and Sindel
5. Ermac, Mileena, and Classic Sub-Zero

Winning the Game
----------------

"You have discovered the lost treasures of Shao Kahn. Choose your
reward wisely."

When you finish Ultimate MK3, you have a choice of twelve icon boxes
to choose from. This is what each box does:

1. Dragon - Tournament Outcome

2. MK - Game of Galaxian

3. Yin Yang - Battle against Ermac

4. Three - Battle against Noob Saibot

5. Question Mark - Random Selection

6. Lightning Bolt - Fatality Demonstration #1 (1st for old characters)

7. Goro - Fatality Demonstration #2 (2nd for old characters)

8. Raiden - Fatality Demonstration #3 (1 from each new character)

9. Shao Kahn - Endurance match against Noob Saibot and Ermac

10. Skull - Classic MK2 endurance against Classic Sub-Zero and Noob Saibot

11. Question Mark - Mega Endurance Kombat (Noob Saibot, Ermac, Smoke,
Classic Sub-Zero, Mileena)

12. Question Mark - Supreme Demonstration

How you get to choose your reward depends on what game you play.
Novice only allows you access to the first four icons. Warrior gives you
the first seven. The first Master level gives you eleven. The second
Master also gives you eleven. Finally, winning the 8-man tournament
gives you access to all twelve icons.

Stages
------

Here is a brief summary of the stages and their order of appearance.

Shao Kahn Tower

Wooden bell tower. The moon is visible in the background. This
stage has a Stage Fatality

The Temple

Looks like the inside of a Church. Back wall has the MK dragon in a
stained glass window. The room also has an alter with a red cloth with
the MK dragon on it. On top of the cloth are two goblets.

The Graveyard

Cemetery with the moon visible in the background. four front
tombstones are the design team (ex. Boon, Tobias, Forden) since there
are seven members to the team, the tombstones randomly change each time
you fight on the Graveyard.

The Pit III

Another incarnation of the first Stage Fatality. Far left has the
entrance to the Pit. Fat right has Shao Kahn's throne. In the middle
are floating green lamps. This is the stage where you fight Shao Kahn
in the final battle. This stage also has a Stage Fatality.

The Subway

Underground in a subway station. Far wall has Boon/Tobias as
destination points. If a character is uppercutted, they will fly up to
the street. This stage also has a Stage Fatality.

The Street

Above the Subway. The Street has papers occasionally flying by.
Shao Kahn's fortress is in the background.

The Bank

inside of a bank. Shao Kahn's fortress is visible in the far windows.
The MK dragon is on the floor. If a character is uppercutted, they will fly up
to the Rooftop.

The Rooftop

of the Bank. Shao Kahn's fortress is in the background.
Stone Gargoyles align the edge of the roof.

The Balcony

Directly above the Soul chamber. This is the stage where you fight
Motaro, Noob Saibot, and Smoke (if you have entered the UKC). the walls
are green with the top of the Soul Chamber itself visible in the
background. Stone centaurs align the sides of the balcony

The Bridge

The sky is yellow in this stage. Papers occasionally fly by.
Buildings are on either side. You can fight Smoke on this stage.

The Soul Chamber

Orange colored stage. The center has a demon's head with it's mouth
wide open. Inside the mouth are the souls of humanity. Shao Kahn's
shadow priests adorn the room. If a character is uppercutted, they will
fly up to the Balcony.
(NOTE: uppercutting up to the balcony will send you two stages
BACKWARD! You will continue to play the same three stages until you
complete the Soul Chamber stage without uppercutting an opponent to the
Balcony.)

Scorpion's Lair

This is Scorpion's own personal stage. Columns of skulls align the
place, and lave covers the ground. Kombatants fight on a ledge much like
the dead pool. If you uppercut your opponent, they will fly up to The
Cavern. This Stage also has a Stage Fatality. Try this: After doing
the Stage fatality, hold both Run buttons. Shao Kahn will say, "Crispy!"
Or this: Hold High Punch after the uppercut. Dan Forden will pop out
and say, "Crispy!" You have a choice. :)
(NOTE: Like the Soul Chamber, if you uppercut through the roof, you will
do a stage loop...so be careful)

Desert

This is Jade's personal stage. A vast wasteland of dirt covering
buildings. If you look at the far left corner, you'll see a
malfunctioned Cyrax!

Waterfront

A river separates the Kombatants from the city on the other side.
The Kombatants fight on a ledge next to the water.

Cavern

The Emperor sits on his throne far away on this stage. An enormous
red gargoyle hovers over the throne.

Blue Portal

This is the stage where you fight hidden characters. The sky is
blue, the Kombatants fight on the same ledge as the Pit III. Plus, there
are mountains and another ledge in the background much like the Pit II in
MK2.

Random Select
-------------

To have the computer randomly select your character, press up and the
start button. Note that player one's selection block MUST be on Kitana, and
player two must be on Scorpion.

Galaxian
--------

"You have been transported to another realm. A realm where neither
the Earth Realm warriors nor Shao Kahn have any control. Beware the
realm of Rellim Ohcanep."

To play Galaxian on MK3, you must either:

1. Play 100 two player games in a row.
2. Enter the correct Kombat Code

When one player loses all three lives, the game is over. If you got
to play Galaxian by playing 100 two player games, then you will return to
normal fighting. If you put in a Kombat Code, the game is over for BOTH
players!

Mileena
-------

The grotesque clone of Princess Kitana returns in UMK3. She retains
all her moves from MK2, as well as her good looks.

To play as Mileena: Put in the correct Ultimate Kombat Code

Ermac
-----

The ERror MACro from MK1 that has been rumored to exist in EVERY
Mortal Kombat game finally emerges. He is a red ninja with Scorpion's
teleport...and a few other suprises.

To play as Ermac: Put in the correct Ultimate Kombat Code

Classic Sub-Zero
----------------

No, not the Sub-Zero from MK2; that's the Henry Rollins lookalike
you can play now. Classic Sub-Zero is the original from MK1; the
Sub-Zero that murdered Scorpion and, subsequently, was murdered BY Scorpion

To play as Classic Sub-Zero: Put in the correct Ultimate Kombat Code

Noob Saibot
-----------

The shadow character has returned, and is once again a shadow of a
ninja. You fight him on the Balcony stage. He is much harder to see in
UMK3, but, unlike in MK2, Noob Saibot has no projectile moves. When you
lose to him, you hear, "It's official...you suck!" However, you cannot
perform a finishing move on him.

NEW: There actually is a code to play as Noob Saibot. On the character
select screen, choose Kano. Then before any round, hold the joystick away
from the center of the machine and hold down Low Punch, High Punch, Block,
and Low Kick. Unfortunately, only the Chicago Wavenet UMK3 machines have
Noob Saibot. Whether or not the regular game will get an upgrade remains
to be seen.

Human Smoke
-----------

Odd. Why two Smokes? Anyway, the Human Smoke has Scorpion's moves
and emits smoke just like in MK2. In UMK3, you can perform a finishing
move on him.

Thanks to Grinch on #mk3 on IRC(Internet Relay Chat...ask for it by
name) You can now PLAY as Human Smoke. At the selection screen, choose
the Cybernetic Ninja Smoke. Then hold the joystick away from the
character screen, meaning if you are player one hold the joystick to the
left, if you are player two hold the joystick to the right. Then, while
holding the joystick in its position, hold down High Punch, High Kick,
Block, and Run until Round One appears. If done correctly, Smoke will
explode and reform in his Human Smoke form. He has Scorpion's moves and
Ermac's Head Decapitation Fatality.

Rain
----

As of now, Rain is nothing but a purple ninja that you can see beat
up Shao Kahn, do Reptile's victory pose, or fall down in the opening demo
screen. He has not been seen ANYWHERE else in UMK3...EXCEPT in a kombat
code.

VI. INDIVIDUAL MOVES AND STORIES
