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

Select Your Fighter

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 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

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

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.

Shang Tsung

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.

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.

+'''''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.

-{{stub}}'''''{{PAGENAME}}''''' is an update to ''[[Mortal Kombat 3]]'', adding extra characters and stages as well as tweaking some of the gameplay. As well as appearing in the arcades, it was brought first to the [[Sega Saturn]] and then to the [[Sega Mega Drive]] and the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]]. More recently it has been re-released for the [[Nintendo DS]] and [[Xbox Live Arcade]].
+==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==

-Building on ''Mortal Kombat 3'', ''Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3'' features the whole cast of its non-''Ultimate'' counterpart (although on the Mega Drive, Sheeva is cut), and re-introduces some characters from ''Mortal Kombat II''.
+{{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.

-==Versions==
+===Stages===
-===Mega Drive version===
+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.
-Using the prior MK3 port as a base, the Mega Drive version takes a hit in terms of graphical quality, but still provides extras not seen in the arcade original. Like the SNES port, Rain and Noob Saibot are made playable characters along with bosses Motaro and Shao Kahn. Mileena, Ermac and Classic Sub-Zero are playable without any need of codes. Shang Tsung can morph into Robot Smoke, Noob Saibot, and Rain, which is not possible in the arcades.
-Brutalities are also included in this version. Nightwolf has his Red shadow shoulder move from ''[[Mortal Kombat Trilogy]]'' and this version contained a rendition of ''Pong'' entitled "MK4".
+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.

-Animalities and Mercies were removed, reducing the number of finishing moves. (however, Kabal still has his animality combination coded and if executed, it causes lots of random glitches.) Shao Kahn's treasure chest has only 10 boxes instead of 12, and the announcer no longer says the characters' names. Most of the levels seen in ''Mortal Kombat 3'' are missing, including The Balcony and The Street, so uppercutting in the Subway and Soul Chamber does not take the player to the level above. Although the Bell Tower has been removed, the Stage Fatality is still in the code and executable.
+==History==
+===Release===
+A Japanese Saturn version was planned, but cancelled. This version was set to be published by [[SoftBank]]{{magref|ssmjp|1996-15|149}}.
-Another leftover from MK3 that wasn't totally deleted was code data for the 'Endurance Mode', which is still accessible through a [[Game Genie (Mega Drive)|Game Genie]] code. Sheeva has been removed, although her sound clips are still available in the sound test. Sonya's Friendship from ''Mortal Kombat 3'' is used, as opposed to her Friendship from the arcade version of UMK3.
+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.
-Scorpion's "Flaming Hand" Fatality is different too: he takes the opponent back to the Scorpion's Lair stage, where they just catch on fire and explode. Kitana's Kiss of Death only inflates heads with the same effect as Kabal's "Air Pump" Fatality. Rain and Noob were given a Brutality, but no other finishing moves. Human Smoke shares Scorpion's combos, rather than having unique ones and in Stryker's friendship, the running characters are replaced by dogs.
+===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.
-On the Mega Drive, ''Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3'' is generally seen as closer to the original arcade game than its Super NES counterpart when it comes to gameplay and content. The Super NES has the advantage of higher quality audio and more colourful (if lower resolution) graphics, though some stages lack parallax scrolling, or are omitted from the game due to cartridge space or time restraints.
+==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.
-===Saturn version===
-Curiously, the Saturn version is less accurate, being closer to ''Mortal Kombat 3'' in design, dropping many ''Ultimate'' features.
-The Bank level that was present in MK3 but was missing from the arcade UMK3 returns. Shang Tsung was given a morph for the Robot 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 MK3, not a black ninja as in the arcade version of UMK3. Since the arcade intro is missing, Rain does not appear in the game, yet the message Kombat Kode "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.
-===Release in Germany===
-Like the previous games, UMK3 was banned. In 2005, the game was unbanned.
