Mortal Kombat Gold is a fighting game developed by Eurocom and published by Midway Home Entertainment. It was released exclusively on the Sega Dreamcast in 1999 as a launch title in North America and Europe. It is an updated version of the 1997 arcade game Mortal Kombat 4.

Story

Thousands of years ago, the Elder God known as Shinnok attempted to conquer all the realms of the universe. The thunder god Raiden fought and defeated Shinnok in a war that spanned hundreds of years, banishing him to the Netherealm, where he would be trapped forever. Now, Shinnok has managed to escape from the Netherealm with help from the sorcerer Quan Chi, and seeks vengeance against the Elder Gods who banished him. He first conquers the realm of Edenia with the aid of a traitor, Tanya, while he prepares to attack the Elder Gods. In order to stop Shinnok's menace, Raiden requests help from the Earthrealm warriors who saved the realms from Emperor Shao Kahn in previous titles.

Gameplay

Select Your Fighter

Mortal Kombat Gold DC, Weapon Select.png

Weapon select

Mortal Kombat 4 was the first 3D entry in the Mortal Kombat series, though it retains the 2D gameplay of the previous titles and plays similarly. As such, it is also the first game in the series to have polygonal characters with motion-captured animations rather than the digitized actors that the earlier games famously used. It introduced a limited weapon system, sidestepping, and several new characters. Mortal Kombat Gold adds six more characters (all returning from previous Mortal Kombat games) and three new stages. It also adds a weapon select system that allows the player to select a specific weapon from the character select screen before choosing a fighter (rather than using the character's default weapon).

Characters move with Left and Right and crouch with Down. They jump with Up and jump back and forth with Up-left and Up-right. 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 B, and a high kick with Y. Characters can sidestep to avoid projectiles by tapping R. They can run by holding R; 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 L. 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 is given a weapon that can be wielded with a button combination (specific to the character). Weapons are used with the punch buttons and offer increased reach and damage. Weapons are dropped when the character is knocked over or can be thrown at the opponent with a button combination. When a weapon is dropped, it can be picked up by either player by crouching over it and pressing R. Some stages contain objects such as rocks or severed heads that can be picked up and thrown in the same manner.

In contrast to the multiple different types of finishing moves last seen in Mortal Kombat 3 and its derivatives, the game pares finishing moves down to two Fatalities per character. As in previous entries, these finishing moves are performed using special button combinations after defeating the opponent in the last round of the match and kill the opponent in a particularly violent way. There are also two stage-specific Fatalities, in which a character is killed by being thrown into part of the stage.

Modes

Mortal Kombat Gold DC, Choose Your Destiny.png

Choose Your Destiny

The game has the following modes:

  • Arcade: There are two variations of this mode. In 1 on 1 Kombat, the player chooses one character and fights against one computer fighter per match. In 2 on 2 Kombat, the player chooses two characters and fights against two computer opponents per match. When the first character is defeated, the second character jumps into the battle with a full vitality bar. Both characters must be defeated in every round. In either mode, the player chooses a "tower" of opponents to face (Novice, Beginner, Warrior, Master, or Master II), with the more difficult towers having more opponents. The two bosses Goro and Shinnok await at the top of the towers. The game can only be continued a limited number of times if lost. A second player can challenge the first to a fight by pressing  START  on a second control pad. After beating Shinnok with a character, that character's ending is unlocked for viewing in the Kombat Theater at any time (though the initial pressings of the game could not properly save the player's progress to a VMU).
  • Team: A team battle mode that can be played by one player (versus the computer) or by two players. Both players form a team of one to five characters. Players start the first battle with their first characters. After a character is defeated in a match, that player plays as their next character in the next battle (while the other player continues with the same character), and so on until a player's entire roster has been eliminated.
  • Endurance: A survival mode with three variations. In every variation, matches only consist of a single round and the player's vitality is never replenished. In Endurance, the player chooses any character and a tower and fights a series of opponents, similar to the Arcade mode. In Vs Endurance, two players fight each other playing as every character in the game (besides hidden characters) in a predetermined order. When one character is defeated, the player changes to the next character until one player has lost with every character. In Ultimate Endurance, the player chooses any character and fights a round against every character in the game.
  • Tournament: A bracketed tournament that can be played with four fighters (with one to three human players) or eight fighters (with one to seven human players). The player can toggle whether to show the computer-versus-computer matches.
  • Practice: A training mode. The player can choose both characters, set the opponent to inactive, active, or human-controlled, and play on any stage. The game shows the most recent button presses on the bottom of the screen. Both fighters have infinite vitality. The player can view a movelist for the current character by pausing the game with  START . There is no ability to practice finishing moves.

The game has six difficulty settings for computer-controlled opponents (Very Easy, Easy, Medium, Hard, Very Hard, and Ultimate), and the player can also choose the number of rounds to win a match (between 2 and 9) and the number of continues for the single-player modes (between 0 and 9).

Characters

Note: Move lists assume that the character is facing right. When facing left, Left and Right 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 Left+ HK  (which knock the opponent across the screen), leg sweeps with Left+ LK  (which cause the opponent to fall down), and uppercuts with Down+ HP  (which knock the opponent high into the air). When standing next to an opponent, the character can do a throw with  LP  or do a "bonebreaker" move with  LK .

Fatalities often require being a certain distance from the opponent in order to execute. There are two stage-specific Fatalities: the Fan Fatality for the Prison stage and the Spike Fatality for the Goro's Lair stage.

Playable

Sonya Blade, Jax Briggs, Liu Kang, Johnny Cage, Sub-Zero, Raiden, Scorpion, and Reptile return from previous Mortal Kombat games. Cyrax, Mileena, Kitana, Kung Lao, and Baraka are returning characters that were added exclusively to Mortal Kombat Gold.

Reiko, Jarek, Tanya, Kai, Shinnok, Fujin, and Quan Chi are new characters introduced in Mortal Kombat 4. Fujin and Quan Chi originally appeared in Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero (which was only released for the PlayStation and Nintendo 64) but were not playable there.

Shinnok is the final boss character. Unlike bosses in previous games, he can be selected to play without the use of a cheat code.

Hidden

Main article: Mortal Kombat Gold/Hidden content.

These characters can be played using cheat codes.

Goro appears in the single-player game as the sub-boss before Shinnok. He is exclusive to all of the home ports of Mortal Kombat 4. Sektor is exclusive to Mortal Kombat Gold.

Goro and Noob Saibot have unknown button combinations for their Fatalities (or possibly no button combinations), but they can be performed using the one-button Fatality cheat code.

In addition to these characters, there is a cheat code to use a bloody skeleton model called "Meat" (used for some of the Fatalities) with any character, retaining the moves of the chosen character. Meat would become a full character later in the series.

Stages

Stages are chosen randomly. Goro is always fought in Goro's Lair, and Shinnok is always fought at the Well. Goro's Lair and the Prison have stage-specific Fatalities.

The Church, Netherealm, and Soul Chamber stages were newly added to Mortal Kombat Gold. The hidden Ladder? stage, based on the background that appears during the Arcade mode towers, is also new and only accessible in two-player games using a Kombat Kode.

History

Development

An additional character named Belokk was shown in early screenshots from Game Informer but was cut from the final game.[10] According to Ed Boon, Belokk was cut due to time constraints.[11]

Release

The game was criticised upon release for its subpar graphics. Rather than play to the Dreamcast's strengths, the game was said to look more like the Nintendo 64 port of Mortal Kombat 4.

Like several of Midway's Dreamcast games, the game was re-released with a "Hot! New!" label in North America, fixing many of the game's bugs (including VMU support, allowing the player to save; the manual for the initial pressing of the game warns players not to enable memory saving in the game's options). As well as the label, the game can be identified by its red-tinted disc.

Versions

The game retains the improvements from the other home ports of Mortal Kombat 4, including the addition of Goro as a sub-boss. It includes the prerendered full-motion video endings from the PlayStation version (the arcade and Nintendo 64 versions use in-engine cutscenes).
