href="/wiki/Fighting_game" title="Fighting game">fighting game</a> developed by <a href="/wiki/Midway_Games" title="Midway Games">Midway Games</a>. It is the third main installment in the <i><a href="/wiki/Mortal_Kombat" title="Mortal Kombat">Mortal Kombat</a></i> franchise and a sequel to 1993's <i><a href="/wiki/Mortal_Kombat_II" title="Mortal Kombat II">Mortal Kombat II</a></i>. As in the previous games, it has a cast of characters that players choose from and guide through a series of battles against other opponents. The game avoids the tournament storyline of its predecessors, as various warriors instead fight against the returning <a href="/wiki/Shao_Kahn" title="Shao Kahn">Shao Kahn</a>, who has resurrected his bride <a href="/wiki/Sindel" class="mw-redirect" title="Sindel">Sindel</a> and started an invasion of <a href="/wiki/Earthrealm" class="mw-redirect" title="Earthrealm">Earthrealm</a>. </p><p>The third installment of <i>Mortal Kombat</i> retains the blood and gory attacks that defined the series. It introduces new types of <a href="/wiki/Fatality_(Mortal_Kombat)" title="Fatality (Mortal Kombat)">Fatality</a> finishing moves, including <a href="/wiki/Fatality_(Mortal_Kombat)#Animality" title="Fatality (Mortal Kombat)">Animalities</a>. Other features new to the series are <a href="/wiki/Combo_(video_gaming)" class="mw-redirect" title="Combo (video gaming)">combos</a>, predefined sequences used to perform a series of consecutive attacks. <span class="anchor" id="kombatkode"></span>The new "Run" button allows players to briefly dash toward the opponent, and the new "Kombat Kodes" system allows players to enter various symbols before two-player matches to <a href="/wiki/Unlockable_(gaming)" class="mw-redirect" title="Unlockable (gaming)">unlock</a> certain additional features of the game. </p><p><i>Mortal Kombat 3</i> was a commercial success and received generally positive reviews, but drew criticism for omitting several popular characters from previous games. It is the only main installment to not feature franchise mascot <a href="/wiki/Scorpion_(Mortal_Kombat)" title="Scorpion (Mortal Kombat)">Scorpion</a>. Characters omitted from this game were included in the two titles produced to update it, <i><a href="/wiki/Ultimate_Mortal_Kombat_3" title="Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3">Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3</a></i> (1995) and <i><a href="/wiki/Mortal_Kombat_Trilogy" title="Mortal Kombat Trilogy">Mortal Kombat Trilogy</a></i> (1996). </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Gameplay">Gameplay</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Mortal_Kombat_3&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Gameplay"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Mortal_Kombat_3_gameplay.png" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/b/bb/Mortal_Kombat_3_gameplay.png/220px-Mortal_Kombat_3_gameplay.png" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/b/bb/Mortal_Kombat_3_gameplay.png/330px-Mortal_Kombat_3_gameplay.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/b/bb/Mortal_Kombat_3_gameplay.png 2x" data-file-width="365" data-file-height="273" /></a><figcaption><a href="/wiki/Liu_Kang" title="Liu Kang">Liu Kang</a> vs. <a href="/wiki/Shang_Tsung" title="Shang Tsung">Shang Tsung</a> in <i>MK3</i></figcaption></figure> <p><i>Mortal Kombat 3</i> builds further on the <a href="/wiki/Gameplay" title="Gameplay">gameplay</a> of the previous game. A "Run" button, accompanied by a corresponding meter, was introduced. This was primarily to address concern from fans who thought that the previous games gave too much of an advantage to the defending player. The Run meter is drained both by running (the character cannot run backward, only forwards) and by performing <a href="/wiki/Combo_(video_gaming)" class="mw-redirect" title="Combo (video gaming)">combos</a>. </p><p>"Chain combos", also known as pre-programmed combos (labeled "dial-a-combos") were also introduced. Chain combos are button sequences that cannot be interrupted once one hit connects; some chain combos end with an uppercut or another move that knocks the opponent into the air so that more damage can be dealt via a traditional <a href="/wiki/Juggle_combo" class="mw-redirect" title="Juggle combo">juggle combo</a>. To please players of various skill levels, a "Choose Your Destiny" screen appears in the single-player mode to allow player-selectable difficulty. </p><p>For the first time, certain levels were interactive by allowing characters to uppercut each other through the ceiling where both characters would continue the battle in a different stage. This could alter the game's level cycle. Both normal uppercuts and uppercuts that are part of a ground combo would result in a level change. Kung Lao's "Whirl Wind Spin" move would also have the same effect. However, if the character is defeated by an uppercut, there is no level change. </p><p>All of the different styles of finishing moves featured in <i><a href="/wiki/Mortal_Kombat_II" title="Mortal Kombat II">Mortal Kombat II</a></i> (<a href="/wiki/Fatality_(Mortal_Kombat)" title="Fatality (Mortal Kombat)">Fatalities</a>, including the non-lethal <a href="/wiki/Babality" class="mw-redirect" title="Babality">Babality</a> and <a href="/wiki/Friendship_(Mortal_Kombat)" class="mw-redirect" title="Friendship (Mortal Kombat)">Friendship</a> moves) return in <i>MK3</i>. Additionally, the rumored Animality, where the character transforms into an animal in order to kill their opponent, is featured for the first time. To perform an Animality, the player must first perform a Mercy, another new feature where the character can restore a tiny amount of their opponent's health bar after winning two rounds. If the opponent is defeated again, an Animality can be performed. Finally, three new Stage Fatalities can be performed in the Subway, the Bell Tower and the Pit 3. </p><p>Another concept introduced in this game is the "Kombat Kode", a six-symbol code entered at the VS screen in a two-player game to modify gameplay, fight hidden characters or display certain messages. Also introduced in this game was the "Ultimate Kombat Kode", a 10-character code using symbols, that could be entered on the <a href="/wiki/Game_over" title="Game over">game over</a> screen after the continue screen disappears in single player mode.

He would have his Shadow Priests, led by Shang Tsung, revive his former Queen Sindel, who unexpectedly died at a young age. However, she would not be revived in the Outworld, but in Earthrealm. This would allow Shao Kahn to cross the boundary lines and reclaim his queen. When Sindel is reincarnated in Earthrealm, Shao Kahn reaches across the dimensions to reclaim her and, as a result, Earthrealm gradually becomes a part of Outworld, stripping billions of their souls. Only a few are spared, protected by <a href="/wiki/Raiden_(Mortal_Kombat)" title="Raiden (Mortal Kombat)">Raiden</a>. He tells them that Shao Kahn must be stopped, but he cannot interfere; due to his status, he has no power in Outworld, and Earthrealm is partially merged with Outworld. Shao Kahn has unleashed extermination squads to kill any Earthrealm survivors. Also, Raiden's protection only extends to the soul, not to the body, so his chosen warriors have to fight the extermination squads and repel Shao Kahn. With his final defeat, every human on Earthrealm is restored. </p><p>The game also contains several subplots: </p> <ul><li>Having defeated Shao Kahn in Outworld, Liu Kang now finds himself as the prime target of Shao Kahn's extermination squads. In response to the upcoming threat, he aligns himself with Kung Lao and leads the rebellion against Shao Kahn and his Outworld minions. However, he also has an ulterior motive: he seeks to free <a href="/wiki/Kitana" title="Kitana">Kitana</a>'s home realm of Edenia.</li> <li>With the latest advancements in human technologies, the Lin Kuei decide to automate their human assassins into soulless machines. Four ninjas, Cyrax, Sektor, Smoke, and Sub-Zero, are selected to serve as the first automation prototypes, but Sub-Zero and Smoke refuse to participate, forcing them to leave the clan. Unfortunately, Smoke is captured and is automated along with Sektor and Cyrax and all three are programmed to hunt down and kill Sub-Zero. Meanwhile, learning of the looming Outworld threat, Sub-Zero joins the rebellion against Shao Kahn.</li> <li>Jax discovers the location of both Sonya and Kano while in Outworld and, in freeing Sonya, he also frees Kano. Knowing that his near future means arrest, Kano uses this opportunity to escape into the depths of Outworld and ultimately joins Shao Kahn's forces. Sonya and Jax return to Earth and try to warn their government about the looming Outworld threat, but when their pleas are ignored, Sonya and Jax instead prepare themselves for the upcoming war by joining the rebellion.</li> <li>Despite both serving Shao Kahn, the Centaurians and Shokan have been at war with each other for years. Suspicions arise when Sheeva, who is appointed Sindel's bodyguard, learns that Motaro is appointed as Kahn's general in his armies. With the apparent, yet unconfirmed, "deaths" of both Kintaro and <a href="/wiki/Goro_(Mortal_Kombat)" class="mw-redirect" title="Goro (Mortal Kombat)">Goro</a>, Sheeva begins to fear for her own race and makes plans to turn against Kahn should her suspicions prove to be true.</li> <li>Largely dependent on a respirator and an undying thirst for revenge against the Black Dragon clan (who he believes was responsible for his brutal attack), Kabal joins the rebellion upon learning of Kano's survival.</li> <li>Though he realizes that he is the lone survivor of New York City following the Outworld Invasion, Stryker remains ignorant as to why he survived the attack. However, upon receiving a vision from Raiden and being informed of what has transpired, Stryker decides to find and join the other Earthrealm warriors.</li> <li>For many years, Nightwolf received visions that foretold and warned him of the upcoming invasion. Largely ignoring them, he feels guilty for not preventing it, and so joins the human offensive against Kahn by casting a magical protection over his ancestors' traditional homeland in North America. This region becomes a threat to Kahn's occupation of Earth.</li> <li>Johnny Cage was hunted down by one of Shao Kahn's extermination squads and killed, apparently by Motaro.</li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Characters">Characters</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Mortal_Kombat_3&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Characters"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/List_of_Mortal_Kombat_characters" class="mw-redirect" title="List of Mortal Kombat characters">List of Mortal Kombat characters</a></div> <figure typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:John_Parrish_(36371631072).jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/04/John_Parrish_%2836371631072%29.jpg/250px-John_Parrish_%2836371631072%29.jpg" decoding="async" width="250" height="167" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/04/John_Parrish_%2836371631072%29.jpg/375px-John_Parrish_%2836371631072%29.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/04/John_Parrish_%2836371631072%29.jpg/500px-John_Parrish_%2836371631072%29.jpg 2x" data-file-width="5760" data-file-height="3840" /></a><figcaption>John Parrish (Jax) with Lia Montelongo (Sindel), <a href="/wiki/Kerri_Hoskins" title="Kerri Hoskins">Kerri Hoskins</a> (Sonya Blade) and Phillip Ahn (Shang Tsung in <i><a href="/wiki/Mortal_Kombat_II" title="Mortal Kombat II">MKII</a></i>), reuniting in 2017</figcaption></figure> <p>The game includes 14 playable characters, with one additional secret character. </p><p>New characters: </p> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Cyrax" class="mw-redirect" title="Cyrax">Cyrax</a> (Sal Divita) - Yellow-colored Lin Kuei cyber assassin, and second of the three cyber assassins.</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Kabal_(Mortal_Kombat)" class="mw-redirect" title="Kabal (Mortal Kombat)">Kabal</a> (Richard Divizio) - Former Black Dragon warrior.</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Nightwolf" title="Nightwolf">Nightwolf</a> (Sal Divita) - Native American shaman.</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Sektor" class="mw-redirect" title="Sektor">Sektor</a> (Sal Divita) - Red-colored Lin Kuei cyber assassin and also the first of the three cyborgs.</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Sindel" class="mw-redirect" title="Sindel">Sindel</a> (Lia Montelongo) - Resurrected Queen of Edenia who is being controlled by Shao Kahn.

Characters were heavily digitized, as opposed to the hybrid digitized/hand-drawn style of <i>MKII</i>. Many of the game's backgrounds were created using pre-rendered 3D graphics for the first time. Its overall style was also differentiated from the previous <i>Mortal Kombat</i> games; instead of the heavy ancient East Asian influences the first two games had, the imagery of <i>MK3</i> is more Western and contemporary: the game's stages are set in modern locations such as urban highways, bank buildings, and rooftops; three of the characters are cyborgs; and traditional martial art clothing designs, such as Sub-Zero's garb, have been replaced by modern clothing. This change is also reflected in the soundtrack, in which all Asian motifs have been dropped in favor of electronic music instrumentation. </p><p>Some of the characters from previous <i>Mortal Kombat</i> games who returned in <i>Mortal Kombat 3</i> were portrayed by new actors since their original portrayers left Midway due to royalty disputes over the use of their likenesses in console versions. <a href="/wiki/Ho_Sung_Pak" class="mw-redirect" title="Ho Sung Pak">Ho Sung Pak</a> (Liu Kang in the first two games, as well as Shang Tsung in the first <i>Mortal Kombat</i>), Phillip Ahn (Shang Tsung in <i>Mortal Kombat II</i>), <a href="/wiki/Elizabeth_Malecki" class="mw-redirect" title="Elizabeth Malecki">Elizabeth Malecki</a> (Sonya Blade), Katalin Zamiar (Kitana/<a href="/wiki/Mileena" title="Mileena">Mileena</a>/<a href="/wiki/Jade" title="Jade">Jade</a>) and <a href="/wiki/Daniel_Pesina" title="Daniel Pesina">Daniel Pesina</a> (<a href="/wiki/Johnny_Cage" title="Johnny Cage">Johnny Cage</a> and <a href="/wiki/Scorpion_(Mortal_Kombat)" title="Scorpion (Mortal Kombat)">Scorpion</a>/Sub-Zero/<a href="/wiki/Reptile_(Mortal_Kombat)" title="Reptile (Mortal Kombat)">Reptile</a>/Smoke/Noob Saibot) were not involved in the production of <i>MK3</i>.<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Prior to the release of <i>Mortal Kombat 3</i>, Daniel appeared in an advertisement for another fighting game, <i><a href="/wiki/BloodStorm" title="BloodStorm">BloodStorm</a></i>, which resulted in a false rumor that it got him fired by Midway.
