Cheats, secrets and killer codes
These three cheat codes from Mortal Kombat 3 continue to work in Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, except this time all three menus are unlocked at once.
Enter one of these on the main menu:
Cheats Menu
- Sound Test
- Continues - How many credits you start with (in units of 5)
- Bio Screen - View any regular character's text biography
Secrets Menu
- Timer - Modify timer speed or disable it
- Win Screen - View any regular character's win screen text
- Kombat zone - Set the first level you'll battle in
Killer Codes Menu
- Quick End - quickly perform the selected fatality type by pressing the last button required to perform the fatality normally. If a button is normally held to perform a fatality, this button can be held and released without having to also press other buttons.
- Shao Kahn - play as Shao Kahn in 2 player mode
- Motaro - play as Motaro in 2 player mode
- Play Hidden Game - immediately start playing the Galaga-esque mini-game.
Play as Human Smoke
Select Smoke and hold + HP + HK + RN + BL (++++ by default, replace with for player two) whilst the screen is still black, just before the start of any round. If entered correctly Smoke will explode into Human Smoke.
Human Smoke can also be fought as part of an endurance match by choosing either 'MK2 Classic Endurance Kombat' or 'Mega Endurance Kombat' from 'Shao Khan's Lost Treasures'
Hidden 'Galaga' style mini-game
This game can be accessed from the Killer Kodes menu or by using kombat kode 642-468
Start mini-game with 8 lives
During the introduction of the mini-game, press and hold +++. If entered correctly, you will hear a firing sound. There is no equivalent code for three-button controllers.
Hidden 'Pong' style mini-game
This game can be accessed by using kombat kode 303-606. Humorously it's named 'MK4' and described as a 'next generation fighting game'!
Shao Khan's Lost Treasures
After you defeat Shao Khan in single player mode or win an 8 player tournament, you can open one of Shao Khan's lost treasures by highlighting a box and pressing START . From left to right, the treasures have the following effect:
- Tournament Outcome: Display your character’s win screen
- Rellim Ochanep: Play Galaga
- Random Prize: Randomly select another lost treasure
- Fatality Demonstration One: The CPU will demo a series of fatalities
- Fatality Demonstration Two: The CPU will demo a different series of fatalities

- MK2 Classic Endurance Kombat: Fight Masked Sub-Zero and Human Smoke in an endurance match.
- Mega Endurance Kombat: Fight Noob Saibot, Masked Sub-Zero, Human Smoke, Ermac & Mileena in an *endurance match
- Supreme Demonstration: The CPU will demo the majority of fatalities
Kombat Kodes
Like Mortal Kombat 3 before it, Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 also features "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):

Kabal animality
While present in the Mega Drive version of Mortal Kombat 3, all animalities were removed from this version of Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3... except Kabal's.
Performing Kabal's animality (close to opponent, HOLD HP , then release HP (swap for if facing left)). will cause his head to fall off. In certain circumstances, it can break the game in more interesting ways[1].
Unused content
Chameleon
Chameleon, who would make his official debut in Mortal Kombat Trilogy exists in this version of Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, but is incomplete. He has no special moves or fatalities, though borrows Scorpion's stage fatalities and friendship. On the "battle plan" screen, he is represented by Kano's icon.
You can force the game to use Chameleon as the player character with the Action Replay code FF0127:19.
In Mortal Kombat Trilogy Chameleon is a hybrid of all the male ninjas (Scorpion, (classic) Sub-Zero, Reptile, Eramc, Rain, human Smoke, and Noob Saibot) with a colour changing palette. Here he is always yellow.
Unfinished bios
Several unfinished bios exist in the game, and can seen in the demo sequence by using the Action Replay code FF021F:XX (where XX is the character ID).]
- E, Smoke is as unfinished as the bio was in Mortal Kombat 3, using text from Kano.
- 15, "classic" Sub-Zero, has no text at all.
- 16, human Smoke, also has no text.
- 19, the unfinished Chameleon, has neither a name nor text, and has broken palettes and graphics.
The remains of Sheeva (B), Motaro (1A) and Shao Khan (1B) have no bios and will crash the game.
