==={ STORY }===
(taken straight from the game's intro)
"You have been chosen to represent Earth in Mortal Kombat. Be
warned, for although your souls are safe from Shao Kahn's evil,
your lives are not. I can no longer interfere as your Earth is
now rules by the Outworld Gods..."
"These are the words of Rayden"
"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 branching the portal into Earth, Shao Kahn slowly transform
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
Kahn sends an army of fierce Outworld warriors to find and
eliminate them."
"After the first tournament, Sonya Blade turned up missing. Jax
then embarked on a rescue mission into the Outworld. He found
Sonya being held with her nemesis Kano. In freeing Sonya, Jax
also frees Kano. Kano then uses the chance to escape arrest."
"The Ultimate Advancement in Lin Kuei technology comes with the
creation of the firt cyber assassins. 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."
"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."

==={ FINISHING MOVES }===
The most unique feature of any Mortal Kombat game is the finshing moves which
could be perform to finish off your opponent or do other things to your
opponent after winning a match. Remember that at the end of a winning match,
once you make your final blow to your opponen's life bar, they will fall then
immedaitely get dizzy with Shao Kahn shouting the key words, "Finish Him/Her!"
During this time you will only had a few quick seconds to complete a finishing
command in able to make it work.
Fatalities:
These can only be done after Shao Kahn shout, "Finish Him/Her!" in the winning
round and in the correct distance on the screen.
Pit Fatality:
These can only be perform at Scorpion's Lair, the Subway, the Bell Tower, and
the Pit 3 stage. To knocked opponent off you must be near your opponent after
Shao Kahn shout, "Finish Him/Her!" in the winning round.
Animality:
These can be done after performing a Mercy! in the third winning round after
Shao Kahn shout, "Finish Him/Her!" After that, beat the opponent once more and
this time input the Animality on the correct distance. It should work. (This
finishing move is not available on the Super NES and Sega Genesis versions of
Ultimate MK3).
Friendship:
These can be perform almost anywhere on the screen after Shao Kahn shout,
"Finish Him/Her!" in the winning round provided you never use Block during that
round.
Babality:
Unlike Friendship, these can be perform anywhere on the screen after Shao Kahn
shout, "Finish Him/Her!" in the winning round provided you never use Block
during that round.
Brutality:
Unlike all finishing moves above, Brutality is a finishing combo in which player
must perform by doing a button sequence simply by pressing a series of attack.
It could only be done after Shao Kahn shout, "Finish Him/Her!" in the winning
round. (This finishing move is only exclusive to the Super NES and Sega Genesis
versions of Ultimate MK3).
Mercy:
To give mercy to your opponent, you must beat your opponent on the third winning
round (your opponent must win at least one round before this), and after Shao
Kahn shout "Finish Him/Her!, immediately hold down the Run button while standing
at a far distance from your opponent, from there quickly press Down on the
joystick about three or four times then release Run. You should hear Shao Kahn
say the name of your character and remind you that you had just give mercy to
your opponent. Giving Mercy to an opponent allowed him or her to resume fight
with very little health. After you beat your opponent the second time; however,
you would be allow to perform Animality or any finishing manuvers you desire.
(Mercy could not be perform in the Sega Genesis version of Ultimate MK3).
Note:
You will only get five seconds to perform a finishing moves (two seconds in the
Sega Genesis version), if after your seconds are up and you couldn't get the
command to work, your dizzy opponent will get spare and fall instantly down to
the ground clean. If you do get the finishing move to work, the screen will turn
dark and an action of the finishing manuver will take place. Of all the
finishing moves mention above, the pit fatality is the only finisher that
doesn't turn the screen dark since it serve more as a knocked out move instead.
==={ DISTANCES }===
When performing a finishing move you need to know the right distance required
for some of them, here are the ones most arcade players are familiar with...
Close:
Standing next to opponent, the same distance in which you could hit or combo
your opponent. This distance is used the most when performing a Pit fatality.
Sweep Distance:
About two feet away from opponent, it's the distance where you can't hit your
opponent but could still foot sweep them. An example of this is Liu Kang's
animality.
Outside Sweep:
About three to four feet away from opponent, the distance where you can jump
over your opponent to the opposite side as well as the distance where you can't
foot sweet your opponent. An example of this is Nightwolf's friendship.
Jump Distance:
The same distance where you can forward flip jump to get near your opponent but
not to the other side. An example of this is Scorpion's Toasty fatality.
Half Screen:
About one feet outside jump distance. You should still not be near your opponent
if you make a forward flip jump at this distance. An example of this is Sonya's
Purple Bubble fatality.
Far Away:
The distance as far away from the opponent as possible even outside of Half
Screen. For this distance, it would have to at least take you two forward flip
jumps to reach near your opponent. An example of this is Mileena's Nail Spit
fatality.
Anywhere:
Any of the above distances. This applies to babality the most as they could be
perform near or away from opponent.

to the Soul Chamber before reaching the Bell Tower.
Bell Tower:
A bell tower build on top of a castle or building. A bright cite of the moon is
also seen and a staircase leading downward is also seen. You could also pit

stage without the walls and attractions. In the arcade, Sega Saturn, and their
many emulation ports, you fight Noob Saibot here. In those same versions, you

last play as will remain wearing their alternate color outfit throughout all the
CPU matches.
- GLITCH SHEEVA -
(Super NES version only):
While at the 8-Man Tournament Mode, highlight the first box, then hold Up and
press START to start a Random Select. If you happen to get an "E" box, that
means that the character on that box is a glitch Sheeva. She is playable but had
no special or finishing moves. Beware when using her though as she could crash
the game if not control properly.
- GLITCH STAGE -
(Sega Genesis version only):
Beat the game with any character. When the green flames is coming out of Shao

continue to work as long as you don't lose a match and you could do this up
until you reach Motaro and Shao Kahn. Beware not to do this once your reach Shao
Kahn though otherwise you'll be facing an unlimited number of Kano matches
thereafter. This trick will only work after you won a match, if you happen to
lose to the CPU, you must beat that CPU opponent in that match and try the trick
again in your next match.
- EASY FINISHERS -
(Super NES version):
To easily initiate a finishing move in the Super NES version of Ultimate MK3,
you must first access the Kooler Stuff cheat menu, then turn on Quick Finish.
Once that is turn on, you could easily perform a finishing moves with the touch
of a button after Shao Kahn shout, "Finish Him/Her!" The button of the correct
finishers are as follow:
* Fatality #1 ========= Y Button
* Fatality #2 ========= B Button
* Pit Fatality ======== L Button
* Animality =========== X Button (used to work in the original MK3)
* Friendship ========== A Button
* Babality ============ R Button
* Brutality =========== Y Button (required kombat kode)
Note #1:
For some reason, the initiate button for Animality serve no purpose in this
game, it was useful in the original Super NES version of MK3 but Williams
forgot to revise it. It was intend to replace the Animality finisher with the
Brutality but they didn't had much time to do that. Because of that, a
separate vs. kombat kode is required in able to do an easy one button
Brutality finisher.
(Sega Genesis version):
To easily perform a finisher in the Sega Genesis version of Ultimate MK3, you
must first access the Killer Code menu, then turn on the Quick Finish option to
any finishers of your choice, Fatality 1, Fatality 2, Animality, Babality, and
Friendship. Once one finisher is turn on, you could easily perform that
character's finisher with the finishing touch for example to perform Jade's
Babality, all you need to do is press HK. If the finisher is a fatality that
ended with a directional movement such as cyborg Smoke's Oblivion fatality, all
you need to do is set the option to Fatality #1 then stand in the correct
distance for the fatality and press Down on the directionl pad. It should work.
Note #2:
The Animality finisher option for this game, like the Super NES version,
doesn't work and I don't know why Williams didn't replace this with the
Brutality. There are also no Brutality versus code for this version so if you
are going to perform a Brutality, you must do the button sequences. Also there
are no option to do a Pit Fatality so you must perform that with its move
sequence as well.

If done correctly, Smoke will explode and change into Human Smoke before the

Note:
On the Sega Genesis version of Ultimate MK3, the code doesn't required the need

Note:
This is not the Kano version of Noob Saibot as it was in MK3. In this game, Noob
Saibot doesn't had any of his special and finishing moves as he did in the Super
NES and Sega Genesis versions.
- PLAY AS SHAO KAHN -

the character select screen.

On the Sega Genesis version of Ultimate MK3, the cheat won't allowed both Motaro
and Shao Kahn to be enable simultaneously so players are left with only one boss
available for play in a two-player game whereas the Super NES version allowed
both to be enable and available for play in a two-player game though only one
player could choose them on both versions.
- PLAY AS CHAMELEON -

appearances, vs. screen palette, and combos but lack special and finishing

him.

Question:
* Who's Chameleon?
Answer:
* He's an unfinished palette swap ninja character similar to Scorpion in the
Super
NES and Sega Genesis version of Ultimate MK3. He could only be play through
the
use of a cheat device such as a Pro Action Replay or a Game Genie. Since he's
just a scrap character, he could only perform basic attacks, a few combos
borrow
from other ninja characters, and no finishing moves besides the mercy sequence
in the Super NES version.
