+ | '''''Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3''''' is a fighting game and update to ''[[Mortal Kombat 3]]'', originally released in arcades by [[Midway Manufacturing]] in 1995. The following year, it was ported to the [[Sega Saturn]] by [[Eurocom Entertainment Software]], which was published by [[Williams Entertainment]] in the United States and by [[GT Interactive Software]] in Europe. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==Story== | ||
+ | Weary of continuous losses in tournament battle, Shao Kahn, who lost to Liu Kang in the Outworld tournament in the previous game, enacts a 10,000-year-old plan. 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 Rayden. 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. Rayden'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. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==Gameplay== | ||
+ | {{ScreenThumb|UMK3 Saturn US SelectFighter.png|width=200|Select Your Fighter}} | ||
+ | {{ScreenThumb|Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 Saturn, Versus.png|width=200|Kombat Kodes}} | ||
+ | The game is an update of ''[[Mortal Kombat 3]]'' with new characters, stages, and gameplay modes. The male and female ninja characters Reptile, Kitana, Jade, and Scorpion return after being absent from the previous entry. To balance the gameplay, some characters were given new moves and some existing moves were altered. Some characters were given extra combos, and some combos were made to cause less damage. Chain combos can be started by using a jump punch (vertical or angled) or a vertical jump kick, which creates more opportunities to use combos. Combos that knock opponents in the air no longer send the opponent to the stage above in multi-layered stages; only regular uppercuts do this. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Characters move with {{left}} and {{right}} and crouch with {{down}}. They jump with {{up}} and flip back and forth with {{upleft}} and {{upright}}. All characters have punches and kicks that can either be aimed high or low. Characters perform a low punch with {{A}}, a high punch with {{X}}, a low kick with {{C}}, and a high kick with {{Z}}. Characters can run by holding {{B}}; they can only run forwards. The Run meter is drained both by running and by performing combos, but the meter replenishes quickly if not used for a second. Characters block by holding {{Y}}. Blocking can be done while standing or crouching. Some attacks cannot be blocked while standing (such as sweeps). All attacks do a small amount of damage even when blocked. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Each character has two Fatalities, an Animality, a Friendship, and a Babality. To perform an Animality, the player must first perform a Mercy, which restores a tiny amount of the opponent's health bar after winning two rounds. Four stages have stage-specific Fatalities. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===Modes=== | ||
+ | {{ScreenThumb|UMK3 Saturn US ChooseYourDestiny.png|width=200|Choose Your Destiny}} | ||
+ | In the main arcade mode, the player can choose any character. Then the player chooses a "tower" of opponents to face (Novice, Warrior, Master, or Champion), with the more difficult towers having more opponents. Every tower ends with an endurance match (or two endurance matches in the Champion tier) and two final matches against the bosses Motaro and Shao Kahn. In the endurance matches, which return from the first ''[[Mortal Kombat]]'', the player must defeat two opponents in each round rather than only one. At any point during gameplay, a second player can challenge the first by pressing {{Start}} on a second control pad, with the winner continuing in the tournament. | ||
+ | |||
+ | There are also two multiplayer modes: a two-on-two mode and an eight-player tournament mode. In the two-on-two mode, two players choose two characters each and fight. After a character is eliminated, the player's second character jumps into the battle. A round is decided when both of a player's characters are defeated, and matches are played to the best of three rounds. The tournament mode is a bracketed tournament in which up to eight different players (with odd-numbered players using the first control pad and even-numbered players using the second control pad) can compete. Shao Kahn's Lost Treasures, which are ten selectable prizes, are introduced after either the main game or the eight-player tournament are completed. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The game has five difficulty settings for computer-controlled opponents (Very Easy, Easy, Medium, Hard, and Very Hard). | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===Characters=== | ||
+ | {{MoveListNote|legend=MortalKombat3}} | ||
+ | All characters can perform roundhouse kicks with {{left}}+{{HighKick}} (which knock the opponent across the screen), leg sweeps with {{left}}+{{LowKick}} (which cause the opponent to fall down), and uppercuts with {{down}}+{{HighPunch}} (which knock the opponent high into the air). Throws are performed by pressing {{LowPunch}} when next to the opponent. | ||
+ | |||
+ | If the match goes to three rounds, players can offer defeated opponents Mercy as an alternative to a finishing move by pressing {{hold|{{Run}}|{{down}} {{down}} {{down}}}}. This allows the other player to recover a sliver of health and continue fighting. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Fatalities often require being a certain distance from the opponent in order to execute. Each character has a special button combination for performing stage-specific Fatalities. Friendships and Babalities can only be performed if the player does not block during the final round. Animalities can only be performed if the player grants the opponent Mercy first. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ====Playable==== | ||
+ | The entire cast of ''[[Mortal Kombat 3]]'' returns. The game adds back the palette-swapped male and female ninjas from ''[[Mortal Kombat II]]'': Scorpion, Reptile, Kitana, and Jade. Classic Sub-Zero, Human Smoke, and Mileena are added as hidden characters. | ||

− | === | + | ==History== |
− | + | ===Release=== | |
+ | A Japanese Saturn version was planned, but cancelled. This version was set to be published by [[SoftBank]]{{magref|ssmjp|1996-15|149}}. | ||
− | + | As with previous games in the series, ''Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3'' was banned in Germany on launch. The ban would not be overturned until 2005. | |
− | There are a few new Kombat Kodes, but several that were present in the arcade release no longer work in the Saturn version. Noob Saibot is a shadow Kano as in | + | ===Legacy=== |
+ | ''Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3'' skipped the [[PlayStation]], which instead received an enhanced version, ''[[Mortal Kombat Trilogy]]'', in 1996 with additional characters, moves, and stages. A Saturn port was released the following year. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==Versions== | ||
+ | Shang Tsung was given a morph for the Cyborg Smoke, which was not possible in the arcades. The secret characters can be unlocked via a secret options screen, eliminating the need to enter three separate Kombat Kodes to unlock them, which is useful as there is no save system. The Kombat Kodes (to unlock the secret characters) were shortened to have six slots instead of ten (probably in order to allow it to be performed with only one controller), but this method is still slower than entering one code to access the secret options screen. | ||
+ | |||
+ | There are a few new Kombat Kodes, but several that were present in the arcade release no longer work in the Saturn version. Noob Saibot is a shadow Kano as in ''[[Mortal Kombat 3]]'', not a black ninja as in the arcade version of ''Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3''. Since the arcade intro is missing, Rain does not appear in the game, though the Kombat Kode message "Rain can be found in the Graveyard" can still be displayed. | ||

Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 is a fighting game and update to Mortal Kombat 3, originally released in arcades by Midway Manufacturing in 1995. The following year, it was ported to the Sega Saturn by Eurocom Entertainment Software, which was published by Williams Entertainment in the United States and by GT Interactive Software in Europe.
Contents
Story
Weary of continuous losses in tournament battle, Shao Kahn, who lost to Liu Kang in the Outworld tournament in the previous game, enacts a 10,000-year-old plan. 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 Rayden. 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. Rayden'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.
Gameplay
The game is an update of Mortal Kombat 3 with new characters, stages, and gameplay modes. The male and female ninja characters Reptile, Kitana, Jade, and Scorpion return after being absent from the previous entry. To balance the gameplay, some characters were given new moves and some existing moves were altered. Some characters were given extra combos, and some combos were made to cause less damage. Chain combos can be started by using a jump punch (vertical or angled) or a vertical jump kick, which creates more opportunities to use combos. Combos that knock opponents in the air no longer send the opponent to the stage above in multi-layered stages; only regular uppercuts do this.
Characters move with and and crouch with . They jump with and flip back and forth with and . All characters have punches and kicks that can either be aimed high or low. Characters perform a low punch with , a high punch with , a low kick with , and a high kick with . Characters can run by holding ; they can only run forwards. The Run meter is drained both by running and by performing combos, but the meter replenishes quickly if not used for a second. Characters block by holding . Blocking can be done while standing or crouching. Some attacks cannot be blocked while standing (such as sweeps). All attacks do a small amount of damage even when blocked.
Each character has two Fatalities, an Animality, a Friendship, and a Babality. To perform an Animality, the player must first perform a Mercy, which restores a tiny amount of the opponent's health bar after winning two rounds. Four stages have stage-specific Fatalities.
Modes
In the main arcade mode, the player can choose any character. Then the player chooses a "tower" of opponents to face (Novice, Warrior, Master, or Champion), with the more difficult towers having more opponents. Every tower ends with an endurance match (or two endurance matches in the Champion tier) and two final matches against the bosses Motaro and Shao Kahn. In the endurance matches, which return from the first Mortal Kombat, the player must defeat two opponents in each round rather than only one. At any point during gameplay, a second player can challenge the first by pressing START on a second control pad, with the winner continuing in the tournament.
There are also two multiplayer modes: a two-on-two mode and an eight-player tournament mode. In the two-on-two mode, two players choose two characters each and fight. After a character is eliminated, the player's second character jumps into the battle. A round is decided when both of a player's characters are defeated, and matches are played to the best of three rounds. The tournament mode is a bracketed tournament in which up to eight different players (with odd-numbered players using the first control pad and even-numbered players using the second control pad) can compete. Shao Kahn's Lost Treasures, which are ten selectable prizes, are introduced after either the main game or the eight-player tournament are completed.
The game has five difficulty settings for computer-controlled opponents (Very Easy, Easy, Medium, Hard, and Very Hard).
Characters
Note: Move lists assume that the character is facing right. When facing left, and should be reversed.
P | Any punch button |
LP | Low punch |
HP | High punch |
K | Any kick button |
LK | Low kick |
HK | High kick |
BL | Block |
RN | Run |
All characters can perform roundhouse kicks with + HK (which knock the opponent across the screen), leg sweeps with + LK (which cause the opponent to fall down), and uppercuts with + HP (which knock the opponent high into the air). Throws are performed by pressing LP when next to the opponent.
If the match goes to three rounds, players can offer defeated opponents Mercy as an alternative to a finishing move by pressing HOLD RN . This allows the other player to recover a sliver of health and continue fighting.
Fatalities often require being a certain distance from the opponent in order to execute. Each character has a special button combination for performing stage-specific Fatalities. Friendships and Babalities can only be performed if the player does not block during the final round. Animalities can only be performed if the player grants the opponent Mercy first.
Playable
The entire cast of Mortal Kombat 3 returns. The game adds back the palette-swapped male and female ninjas from Mortal Kombat II: Scorpion, Reptile, Kitana, and Jade. Classic Sub-Zero, Human Smoke, and Mileena are added as hidden characters.
Kitana | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
A princess of the realm of Edenia. After killing Mileena, Kitana is accused of treason. She now attempts to reach Queen Sindel to warn her of their true past.
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Reptile | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
A reptilian creature who takes the form of a human ninja. As one of Shao Kahn's most trusted servants, Reptile assists Jade in the hunt for Kitana, but he has secret orders to kill her if necessary.
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Sonya Blade | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
A special forces soldier who disappeared after the first tournament. She was rescued by Jax, and the two prepare for Shao Kahn's invasion after failing to convince the government of the threat. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Jax (Major Jackson Briggs) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
A special forces soldier. He fitted both of his arms with bionic implants in preparation for the impending Outworld invasion.
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Nightwolf | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
A Native American historian who uses his shaman magic to protect his tribe's land against the Outworld invasion. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Jade | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
A close friend of the renegade princess Kitana. After Kitana killed her evil twin Mileena and escaped from Outworld to Earth, Jade was appointed by the emperor Shao Kahn to find and bring her back alive.
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Scorpion | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Scorpion escapes from Earth's hell after Shao Kahn's failed attempt at stealing the souls of Earthrealm. He eventually joins the struggle against Outworld.
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Kano | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
A criminal thought to have been killed in the first tournament. He convinces Shao Kahn to spare his soul before the Outworld invasion, proposing to teach Kahn's warriors how to use Earth's weapons. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Sub-Zero | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
A ninja, once a member of the Liu Kuei clan. He is now hunted by cybernetic assassins from his former clan after escaping their betrayal. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Sektor | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Unit LK-9T9, the first of three prototype cybernetic ninjas built by the Lin Kuei. He was once a human assassin but volunteered to be turned into a cyborg because of his loyalty to the clan.
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Sindel | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Shao Kahn's wife and the Queen of Outworld before her death 10,000 years ago. She has been reborn on Earth. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Kurtis Stryker | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
A riot control police officer and the lone survivor of a major city after Shao Kahn's invasion.
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Cyrax | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Unit LK-4D4, the second of three prototype cybernetic ninjas built by the Lin Kuei. Like the other cyborgs, he has been programmed to find and terminate the rogue ninja Sub-Zero.
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Shao Kahn's lead sorcerer. Despite his multiple failures trying to deliver Earth to his master Shao Kahn, the scheming sorcerer has convinced Kahn to grant him more power than ever before.
As in the first game, Shang Tsung is able to morph into any of the playable characters, retaining their moves. The game has an option to allow Shang Tsung to morph into any character (which usually requires pausing gameplay to load the character from the disc), to morph only into his opponent (which has no load time), or to disable morphs entirely. By default, Shang Tsung can only morph into his opponent. Hidden characters must be unlocked first before Shang Tsung can morph into them.
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Liu Kang | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
A Shaolin monk. As the Shaolin Champion, he finds himself the prime target of Shao Kahn's extermination squads.
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Hidden
- Main article: Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 (Saturn)/Hidden content.
Mileena, Ermac, and Classic Sub-Zero are selectable using cheat codes. Human Smoke can be played by selecting Cyborg Smoke and inputting a special button combination at the beginning of the first round.
Mileena | |||||||||||||||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Ermac | |||||||||||||||||||||
A mysterious warrior that exists as a life force of the souls of dead Outworld warriors in Shao Kahn's possession.
| |||||||||||||||||||||
Sub-Zero (Classic) | |||||||||||||||||||||
A Lin Kuei ninja with cryogenic powers. Having been seemingly killed in the first game, Sub-Zero mysteriously returns to again attempt the assassination of Shang Tsung.
| |||||||||||||||||||||
Smoke (Human) | |||||||||||||||||||||
An assassin working for the Lin Kuei who was captured and turned into a cyborg. His human form, similar to his original appearance in Mortal Kombat II, can be played with a cheat code.
| |||||||||||||||||||||
Noob Saibot | |||||||||||||||||||||
A dark, silhouetted warrior. He still uses a blackened version of Kano's sprite in this version of the game, despite being a blackened Lin Kuei ninja in the arcade version of the game. He has no special moves but uses some of Kano's combos. He can be fought using a code. |
Stages
The game features several new backgrounds: Kahn's Kave, Jade's Desert, River Kombat, Scorpion's Lair, the Lost World, and Noob's Dorfen. The Bank has been removed.
Motaro is fought in Kahn's Tower and Shao Kahn is fought in the Pit 3. The Subway, Bell Tower, Pit 3, and Scorpion's Lair stages have stage-specific Fatalities. Two stages can be accessed by uppercutting an opponent through the ceiling of another stage: the Street is above the Subway and Kahn's Kave is above Scorpion's Lair.
History
Release
A Japanese Saturn version was planned, but cancelled. This version was set to be published by SoftBank[7].
As with previous games in the series, Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 was banned in Germany on launch. The ban would not be overturned until 2005.
Legacy
Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 skipped the PlayStation, which instead received an enhanced version, Mortal Kombat Trilogy, in 1996 with additional characters, moves, and stages. A Saturn port was released the following year.
Versions
Shang Tsung was given a morph for the Cyborg Smoke, which was not possible in the arcades. The secret characters can be unlocked via a secret options screen, eliminating the need to enter three separate Kombat Kodes to unlock them, which is useful as there is no save system. The Kombat Kodes (to unlock the secret characters) were shortened to have six slots instead of ten (probably in order to allow it to be performed with only one controller), but this method is still slower than entering one code to access the secret options screen.
There are a few new Kombat Kodes, but several that were present in the arcade release no longer work in the Saturn version. Noob Saibot is a shadow Kano as in Mortal Kombat 3, not a black ninja as in the arcade version of Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3. Since the arcade intro is missing, Rain does not appear in the game, though the Kombat Kode message "Rain can be found in the Graveyard" can still be displayed.
Loading times cause the "Supreme Demonstration" mode to take almost 30 minutes to complete.
