Kombat Kodes
Mortal Kombat 3 introduced to the series the concept of "Kombat Kodes". As a two-player versus match is about to begin, six boxes showing icons at the bottom of the screen can be manipulated by both players. The first three boxes are cycled through by tapping player one's , and buttons, respectively, and the second three by the second player.
There are 10 digits, usually referred to in-guides as 0-9 (e.g. to get the third icon, tap the button twice):
