For Revision 2.0 and 2.1 only Release 2.5 PARENTAL ADVISORY LIFE-LIKE VIOLENCE - STRONG CONTAINS SELECTED, GRAPHIC SCENES INVOLVING HUMAN-LIKE CHARACTERS ENGAGED IN INTENSE COMBATIVE ACTIVITY <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> <> G E N E R A L I N F O <> <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> T H E S T O R Y Rules of the tournament The Shaolin Tournament for Martial Arts is more than a simple exhibition. Each of its combatants has been invited for his extraordinary skills, and each accepting has wagered his/her very life upon them. The tournament's structure - as simple as it is ancient - tests all aspects of a warrior, for only the most worthy may earn the title of Grand Champion. The tournament first tests a warrior's fighting skill by pitting him against each of the tournament's other challengers. In all Mortal Kombat battles, meters on the upper-left and upper-right corners of the screen measure the health of each warrior. The meters begin each round at full health, but are reduced with each blow taken. The amount of reduction depends both on the type of hit and whether or not it was blocked. When a warriors health meter runs out, he is knocked out and the round is awarded to his opponent. Should time run out before either combatant is knocked out, the warrior with the less injury is declared the victor. The first warrior to win two rounds takes the match and moves on to the next opponent. Sometimes when both warriors hit each other at the same time when all of their life has ran out or both warriors have the same amount of damage when time runs out, the match is declared a draw. If four rounds pass without a winner, both combatants will be disqualified from the tournament. An ancient proverb declares a warrior to be his own worst enemy. Another declares his greatest ally to be knowledge of his weaknesses. The Beginning Thousands of years ago an order of the wisest men from the Far East received visions of a dark realm. This realm came to be known as the OUTWORLD. It was a dark and chaotic and ruled by a vicious emperor. The wise men knew that travel between the dark realm and Earth would someday be possible if the conditions were right. The conditions being the unbalancing of the furies ----negative and positive forces which keep our unstable universe from collapsing onto itself. Knowing that the eminent Outworld invasion would prove too much for Earth, they appealed to the Elder Gods. It was for this reason the Elder Gods created the tournament of Mortal Kombat. Though this contest, we protect not only the safety of our realm, but the existence of our souls. Evil Reborn For centuries Earth has used Mortal Kombat to defend itself against the Outworld's Emperor -- Shao Kahn. But Kahn becomes frustrated by failed attempts at taking Earth though the tournament battle. He decides to enact a plan which began almost 10,000 years ago. It was during a time in which Kahn had a queen. Her name was Sindel and her premature death was devastating. Kahn's shadow priests, lead by sorcerer Shang Tsung, would 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 though the dimensional gates and reclaim his queen, thus enabling him to finally seize the Earth Realm. Conquest Upon breaching the Portal into Earth, Shao Kahn strips the planet of all human life. He claims every soul as his own. Slowly the Earth begins to transform into a part of the Outworld itself. But there are human souls which Shao Kahn cannot take. These souls belong to the warriors chosen to represent Earth in a new Mortal Kombat. The warriors are scattered throughout the planet and Kahn sends an army of fierce Outworld warriors to find and eliminate them. Some of the Earth's warriors survive the attacks, but most do not. The remaining few hold the chance at saving all of human kind. Radien's Creed You have been chosen to represent Earth in Mortal Kombat. Be warned. Although your souls are protected against Shao Kahn's evil; your lives are not. I cannot interfere any longer as your Earth is now ruled by the Outworld gods. -These are the words of RAIDEN. Rumors Proven To Be False Since way before MK 3 ever came out, thousands of rumors have popped up. And all most every single one are false. Cyrax = Scorpion?: This is false as Cyrax is 100% robot. Sektor and Smoke were once humans turned into robots. It is impossible for Cyrax to be Scorpion. It is easy to see why people would think so, as Cyrax is a yellow ninja after Sub Zero. Goro: Goro's DEAD!!! I am sorry but you cannot jump through the bottom of the Pit 3 and into the portal to go fight Goro as the rumors say. Johnny Cage Transformations: Johnny Cage is dead! These rumors about him coming out of a grave as a ghost is completely fake. Daniel Pesina was the actor that played as Johnny Cage. Pesina's contract with Williams expired as well as his brothers, Carlos. Nudealities: Let's go ahead and get this one out of the way. Nudealities are Finishing Moves in which female opponents are stripped down naked and do something very nasty. This rumor was probably created by some perverted kids. This rumor is 100% false. Why would Midway put nude images where they know kids are going to be? The Senate would be all over them so much, their heads would spin. You could never play MK 3 because it would be banned from every arcade. Ed and John would be in jail. They are already afraid of the Senate enough, just look at the quality of MK 3's fatalities. Raiden Transformations: The only way to see Raiden is to do Nightwolf's Friendship. The rumors about him being playable in the game and him being in the Fall update are false. Variety of UKC's: Look people, there is only ONE Ultimate Kombat Code. It unveils Smoke as a playable character. Ultimate Kombat Codes that let you play as Noob Saibot, Raiden, Johnny Cage, Ermac, etc. Do NOT exist. T R I C K S Animalities: Let your opponent win one round, and then you win two rounds, perform a mercy, and then do the correct movement for you characters Animality. You also have to perform the Animality in the correct place. Babalities: Do not hit the BL button on your winning round. Then perform the correct movement for the Babality for your character. Your opponent will turn into a baby. It's good to try to do a Babality on Round 2 if you have already won Round 1 because you do not want to be trying to not hit the block button throughout the Third and Final Round. The Babality usually makes your opponent mad. (Anywhere) Difficulty Select: You can select the difficulty before each one player game by selecting one of the towers or battle plans. Your choices are Novice, which is easy, Warrior, which is medium difficulty, and Master, the hardest one. On Revision 1.0 the cursor started on Master and a lot of people selected Master on accident. Now on Revision 2.0 and 2.1, the cursor starts on Novice. Finishing Moves: Every character has the ability to finish off their opponent after they win a match. The screen will flash FINISH HIM or FINISH HER and you will be given around 5 seconds to perform a finishing move movement. These are also known as Fatalities, Babalities, Friendships, Animalities, and Pits. Free Game: When you beat 2.0, press START rapidly on both sides when the credits roll down for the actors and characters. When Richard Divizio's feet in both the costumes of Kabal and Kano hit the ground, you will go to the character select screen. You lose your game after you beat the game. This glitch has been fixed in Revision 2.1. Free Games: To get unlimited free credits in MK 3, just find a Revision 2.0 machine that has not had the Ultimate Kombat Code entered on it already. Just simply enter the Ultimate Kombat Code. (Explained later) Friendships: Do not hit the BL button on your winning round. Then perform the correct movement for the Friendship for your character. It's good to try to do a Friendship on Round 2 if you have already won Round 1 because you do not want to be trying to not hit the block button throughout the Third and Final Round. (Anywhere) Galaga: Play 100 2-Player matches in a row. Then you will be greeted with the following message: YOU HAVE BEEN TRANSPORTED TO ANOTHER REALM A REALM WHERE NEITHER THE EARTH WARRIORS NOR SHAO KAHN HAVE ANY CONTROL BEWARE OF THE REALM. OHCANEP Galaga Hints: Press HP to shoot from your spaceship. There are green space ships that come out, shoot them once and they turn blue. While they are blue, they come down to try to capture you. If they do capture you, you lose that life and the spaceship takes your old one up to the top of the screen. During the rest of the round, if you shoot the spaceship that captured you earlier, you will then get both of your spaceships to fight with. Each will be side-by-side giving you a wider range of fire as one missile comes out of each ship when you shoot. Kombos: Kombos are combinations of kicks, punches, and sometimes special moves. When you do a Kombo, your opponent can either block it or get hit by it. It depends on how quick he/she is. They can also Kombo you, so be careful. Kombos take off massive amounts of energy if you get a real good one going. Kombos are limited because of your RUN Meter (read on down) After your Kombo is finished, the screen flashes up how many hits were in the Kombo and a percentage of how much damage your opponent lost. Mercy: On Round 3, after you have won and it says finish him, Hold down the RUN button and press D, D, D, and then quickly release RUN. This will give you opponent just enough energy to come back to life. There is so little energy that any hit your opponent takes will kill them again, even if they block it. This is necessary to perform an Animality. However be careful, you can always lose after you perform the mercy. Pits: Everyone has their own Pit Movement. On the Subway stage, the Pit Fatality knocks your opponent into the background where a subway train comes by and knocks them over. You cannot uppercut at anytime during a match at the Subway stage or your opponent will go flying through the ceiling. On Shao Kahn's Tower, you opponent falls through seven wooden floors into a large amount of spikes. On the Pit III, your opponent falls for what seems forever until they land in a lot of spinning blades that cut you up into many pieces. The blades look similar to Kabal's Ground Slice. Random Select: U + START When Player 1's cursor is on Shang Tsung and/or Player 2's is on Liu Kang. This is for advanced players that are good with every character. Special Moves: All of the Mortal Kombat 3 warriors possess expert fighting skills- in that respect, they are equal to thousands of other warriors around the globe. What raises them above their peers are the special moves which they have created and perfected. In order to become a supreme warrior, skilled enough to win the title of Grand Champion, you too must learn these special moves, for these moves, whether special kicks or elemental bolts make the MK 3 warriors the fiercest and most ferocious combatants on Earth. Mastering their special moves will make you the same. Toasty!: Dan Forden is the guy that programs the sound for all the MK games. Sometimes, when an uppercut is delivered, he will pop out and say TOASTY! In MK 3 he also says Frosty! now. To get him to say Frosty!, freeze your opponent with Sub Zero when they are in danger. T H E U L T I M A T E K O M B A T C O D E The Ultimate Kombat Code allows you to select Smoke, Smoke randomly appears on the VS. Screen, but you cannot select him. After you enter the Ultimate Kombat Code, you will no longer have to enter it for the rest of the life of the machine, just as if he was a normal character. The only way for the kode to reset itself is for the arcade operator to replace the CMOS battery. To enter it, you have to place the corresponding keys. When the game asks you for the Ultimate Kombat Code, you have to press Player 1's HP Button once, Player 1's BL Button 9 times (or U + 1 time, see below), and Player 1's HK Button twice. On the Player 2 side, you have to hit the HP, LP, and BL Buttons twice each, and the LK Button 3 times and the HK 4 times. It is now hard to find a single MK 3 machine that doesn't already have the Ultimate Kombat Code entered. MK, Dragon, Skull, Dragon, Yin Yang, Yin Yang, Yin Yang, Yin Yang, 3, ? mark Player 1 Player 2 ( 1 ) ( 2 ) ( 2 ) ( 4 ) ( 9 ) ( 2 ) ( 0 ) ( 0 ) ( 2 ) ( 3 ) (1 - 0 - 9 - 0 - 2) - (2 - 2 - 2 - 3 - 4) WARNING: YOU COULD GET KICKED OUT OF ARCADES BY PERFORMING THE FOLLOWING MANEUVERS. First, You must find a Revision 2.0 machine. Whenever you enter the Ultimate Kombat Code on a 2.0 machine, the machine sets itself to free play automatically. But nowadays everyone has already entered the Ultimate Kombat Code on every machine. So what you have to do is reset the Ultimate Kombat Code. To do this, you have to beat the game, do the Free Credit Trick which gives you your game back that was explained above, then with your free game beat some more computer opponents, and then lose. After you lose, reset the machine by flipping the little switch on the top of the cabinet on the left side. When it boots up, the ROM's will have errors, so they will reset the CMOS Battery (The Internal Clock) Then they will set to how they were when the machine was brand new. Just go and lose and re-enter the Ultimate Kombat Code. Almost every arcade has upgraded to 2.1 because of this. Be careful whenever the arcade operators walk by. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> <> K E Y & M O V E S <> <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> F Forward HP High Punch B Back LP Low Punch U Up HK High Kick D Down LK Low Kick BL Block RUN Run Player 1 U O HP HK | O O | BL B O------O------O F O | | O O O LP LK D O RUN Player 2 U O HP HK | O O | BL F O------O------O B O | | O O O LP LK D O RUN HP: Standing High Punch LP: Standing Low Punch BL: Block your opponents move LK: Standing Low Kick HK: Standing High Kick XX, XX, XX: Press those buttons one after another XX + XX: Press those buttons together at the same time D + BL: Crouching Block D + HP: Uppercut D + LP: Crouching Punch D + HK: Crouching High Kick D + LK: Crouching Low Kick B + LK: Sweep B + HK: Roundhouse Kick U + F: Forward Flip U + B: Back Flip U + LK or HK: Jump Kick straight up U + HP or LP: Jump Punch straight up U + F + HK or LK: Jump Kick Forward U + B + HK or LK: Jump Kick Back U + F + HP or LP: Jump Punch Forward U + B + HP or LP: Jump Punch Back F + LP when close: Throw F + HP when close: Elbow F + HK or LK when close: Knee The Throw The throw is performed by pressing the F + LP buttons. It is the cheapest move in the game. When you throw someone, it will usually make the other person very angry. If you do not mind what people think about you and you don't care if you get beat up, press and hold the RUN button, run towards your opponent, throw them, then move the joystick to the opposite direction while still holding the RUN button and run over and throw them again. Just repeat and you should win. There is only one known way to get out of this. It was discovered by Rick Stumpf. What you do is you Jump back after a throw. Most people prefer to disable throws in a two player match by using the Kombat Code. If someone that you know that they know the Kombat Code to disable Throws and they don't do it, that gives you the green light to do the maneuver described above. However, don't do it if the other person looks like a beginner that doesn't know about the Code. How not to be called cheap If you are someone who is getting tired of people calling you cheap, follow this Guideline on fixing your cheap ways. 1. Always Disable throws 2. NEVER! I repeat, NEVER pick Kabal. 3. If the other person does not disable throws, don't throw them! 4. Never do the same move more than 3 times in a row, like the sweep. If you do that, people should quit calling you cheap! Also, beating the game with Cyrax, Smoke, Kabal, or Sub Zero is not really considered beating the game. The RUN Button The RUN Button is the yellow button to the left and down to the LP Button. It is lined up perfectly with the LP, BL, and HK Buttons. There is a little meter under your name and the health bar. This meter measures how much RUN Energy you have. The RUN button allows you to RUN towards your opponent fast. You have to Hold F while running. If you don't, you will not RUN, just run out of RUN energy. Using a move that uses Up When a move calls for you to hit U, you may hold BL first to make it easier. Also, when a move calls for you to do a 360, you may hold BL first to make it easier. However, you have to release the BL button if you have to hit an attack button at the end to execute the move. Such as Stryker's Pit- You press and hold the BL button and press F, U, U, then you release the BL button and hit the HK button. Endings With each character, you will see an ending. Endings are the story lines that are flashed up on the screen after you beat the game. Each character has there own unique ending. Fatality Distances After Fatality listings in this FAQ, you will see a set of parentheses, in the parentheses it will tell you the distance to stand at to do the fatality. (Close) Right Next to your opponent (Sweep Distance) The distance in which you become out of range to connect with a Sweep (B + LK) (Half Screen) Self Explanatory. Stand half of a screen away from your opponent. (Far) Stand all the way on the other side of the screen. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> <> S T A G E S <> <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> The Balcony: Off in the background, you will see a green glowing pit. There are large statues of Motaro to the far right and left. The green glowing pit seems to lead down into the Mouth of the statue with the souls in it in the Soul Chamber. You can get to this stage from the Soul Chamber by uppercutting. The Bank: There is a stone floor with symbols on it. You can see windows that view out to the city. It doesn't look to much like a bank because it has walls with windows and no indication of a bank. On each wall there are lights. You can be knocked though the ceiling here to the Rooftop stage. The Bridge: You can see the cityscape in the back. Plenty of newspapers and other litter blow in the wind. It looks like the bottom of the Rooftop stage. It also appears that this stage is right next to the street stage. The Graveyard: This is nothing but a graveyard with a bunch of tombstones. The night sky is a very dark purple. A lot of the tombstones have some interesting names like, Boon, Tobias, Beran, Michicich, Cage, etc. They all seem to have died on April 1, 1995, which is April Fool's day. There are also some tombstones with the MK Dragon logo on top. The Pit 3: This is a bridge with spikes on the side of the walkway. There are floating greenlamps in the background. There are big statues of faces in the back and sides of the stage. In this stage you knock them down into the pit, when you hit the bottom there are big turning blades that will cut you up into lots of pieces. The Rooftop: The rooftop is a cityscape with Shao Kahn's tower in the very back with the portal circling the top. It appears that you can knock them down off the building to the bottom of the building. There is a big dragon logo on the floor in the center of the stage. Shao Kahn Tower: This is a bell tower, you can see out the windows to the city. Everything is made of wood. And you see the moon in the background. Performing your character's Pit Fatality movement on this stage will knock them down through seven wooden floors. At the bottom, there are a bunch of spikes that your opponent lands in. Soul Chamber: There is a large figure of an open monster mouth with greenish smoke moving in a line from top to bottom. You can see some faces peek out of it at times. There are some giant skull figures with their mouths open. There are spikes on the edge of the walkway that look like teeth. There are also a few statues of the MK 2 Sorcerers. You can get knocked through the ceiling here up to the Balcony. Smoke's Stage: To fight on Smoke's Stage, you have to enter the Kombat Code at the Character Match up in a Two Player game. The stage looks just like the bridge with spikes in The Pit 3. Instead of Floating Lamps and skulls in the background, you see the Portal. The Street: This is where you fight after going through the Subway Ceiling. This stage has paper and litter blowing in the wind in the background. This stage appears to be at the bottom of the rooftop stage. The Subway: You're down on the subway tracks in the depot. The overhead lights are flickering on and off. When you uppercut your opponent, he/she gets smashed up into the street and then you follow. You cannot uppercut if you want to do the Pit Fatality on this stage. By doing the Pit Fatality, your opponent gets uppercuted up, as if it were a normal uppercut in a normal game, but instead of you following up behind him/her, he/she lands in the background on the Subway tracks and a Subway Train comes by and knocks them over. A real crowd pleaser. The Temple: There is a large stained glass window in the back with the MK Dragon Logo in it. There is a red cloth draped over the altar that has a gold MK Dragon Logo on it. There are red candles in the foreground. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> <> C H A R A C T E R S <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Kano, Sonya, and Jax After the first tournament Sonya Blade turned up missing. Jax then embarked on a rescue mission into the Outworld. He found Sonya being held captive with her nemesis, Kano. In freeing Sonya, Jax also frees Kano. Kano then uses the chance to escape arrest. Sektor, Cyrax, and Sub Zero The Ultimate advancement is Lin Kuei technology comes with the creation of the first cyber-assassin. They begin converting their human ninjas into soulless machines.

He ends up stranded in the middle of a vast desert, blindly heading toward his base. Jax------------------------------------------------------------------------- After failing to convince his superiors of the coming Outworld menace, Jax begins to covertly prepare for the future battle with Kahn's minions.

When the world reverts back to normal, Jax and Sonya start the Outworld Investigation Agency. Jax runs the exploratory division which learns to open portals through science rather than magic. He leads the first expedition into a mysterious new realm. Kabal----------------------------------------------------------------------- As a chosen warrior, his identity is a mystery to all. It's believed that he is a survivor of an attack by Shao Kahn's extermination squads. As a result, he is viciously scarred and kept alive only by artificial respirators and a rage for ending Shao Kahn's conquest. Kabal is the goofy looking guy with a mask. He has tubes all around him.

He fights alongside the other Earth warriors. When he defeats Motaro and the mighty Shao Kahn he proves that he truly is the chosen one. Before the invasion, Kabal lived a life of crime. He was once a member of the Black Dragon along with Kano. Now Kabal devotes his life to fighting injustice. He will give crime's inner circles a new reason to fear. Kano------------------------------------------------------------------------ Kano is thought to have been killed in the first tournament. Instead, he is found alive in the Outworld where he again escapes capture by Sonya. Before the actual Outworld invasion, Kano convinces Shao Kahn to spare his soul. Kahn needs someone to teach his warriors how to use Earth's weapons. Kano is the man to do it. Kano now has a Black suit with red straps. He still has the shaved head and an infrared eye.

Kano lures Kahn's away on a false mission: then nukes them using a stolen weapon. He fights the remaining warriors and finally defeats Kahn himself. Kano's true intention is to take over the souls which Kahn once possessed. But Kano is unable to control the spirits as they escape and attack him. Rumored to have suffered a violent death, Kano was ignorant of the fact that he saved the world he tried to conquer.

His name comes from Ed Boon and John Tobias by spelling both of their last names backwards. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> <> V S . S C R E E N K O D E S <> <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> After both people select their character in a two-player match, you come to a VS. Screen. At the bottom of the VS. Screen, you will see six boxes lined up with Dragon icons in them. The six symbols represent secret codes which can have subtle or dramatic effects on game play. Each button causes the symbol in the corresponding box to change to the next icon in a predetermined order. For example, pressing Player 1's LP button once will change the dragon in the first box into a MK symbol; pressing it a second time will change it to the third icon in the sequence (a Yin Yang) and so on. Pressing a button more than nine times will cause the order of icons to start over; in other words, pressing a button that corresponds to a box with a skull symbol, will change it back to the original Dragon icon. The chart below shows the order in which the symbols appear. In some codes, you have to press a button 9 times. The VS. Screen doesn't stay up for long, so you would have to go fast. Fortunately, you can reverse the order of the icons by holding U on the joystick on your side. So instead of pressing a button 9 times, you can hold U and press it once.
