'''''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.

The game is an enhanced version of ''Mortal Kombat 3''. 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. New stages were added. The Mega Drive and [[Super NES]] ports of the game vary significantly from the arcade version and include new characters and a new kind of finishing move, Brutalities, that would also appear in the Saturn and [[PlayStation]] game ''[[Mortal Kombat Trilogy]]''. However, since this port used the same size cartridge as the Mega Drive port of ''Mortal Kombat 3'', it also had significant cutbacks, with several stages, many announcer voice lines, and one character (Sheeva) removed.

−
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 {{Y}}; 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 {{B}}. 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.
 
−
 
 
−
When using a standard three-button control pad, characters perform a low punch with {{A}}, a high punch with {{A}}+{{B}}, a low kick with {{C}}, and a high kick with {{B}}+{{C}}. They run by holding {{Start}} and block by holding {{B}}.
 
−
 
 
−
Most characters have two Fatalities, a Friendship, a Babality, and a Brutality. Brutalities are 11-button combos that causes characters to rapidly beat on their opponents until they explode. Mercies and Animalities have been removed. Two stages have stage-specific Fatalities.
 
  
 
===Modes===
 
===Modes===
−
The arcade mode from the previous game is retained. The player chooses a "tower" of opponents to face (Novice, Warrior, Master, or a new additional Master tier), with the more difficult towers having more opponents. Every tower ends with an endurance match (or two endurance matches in the second Master 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.
 
−
 
−
Two new multiplayer modes have been introduced: 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 (Easiest, Easy, Medium, Hard, and Hardest).

When using a standard three-button control pad, for moves requiring {{LowPunch}}, hold the direction and {{LowPunch}} simultaneously. For moves requiring {{HighPunch}}, release the direction before pressing {{LowPunch}}. Special moves requiring {{LowPunch}}+{{HighPunch}} can be done with just {{LowPunch}}. Uppercuts are performed with {{down}}+{{LowPunch}}.

Fatalities often require being a certain distance from the opponent in order to execute. Each character has a special button combination for performing the stage-specific Fatalities on the Subway and Pit 3 stages. Friendships and Babalities can only be performed if the player does not block during the final round.

The entire cast of ''[[Mortal Kombat 3]]'' returns, with the exception of Sheeva. The game adds back the palette-swapped male and female ninjas from ''Mortal Kombat II'': Classic Sub-Zero, Scorpion, Reptile, Kitana, Mileena, and Jade. Noob Saibot is also re-introduced as a Lin Kuei ninja (rather than a blackened Kano, as in ''Mortal Kombat 3'') with new special moves, and Human Smoke is added as a hidden character (with the same moves as Scorpion).
 
  
−
The new characters Rain and Ermac, both palette-swapped male ninjas, have been added. Rain was a fake secret character in the arcade version, teased in the attract sequence, but he was added to the 16-bit ports as a real character with new special moves. Ermac is named after a contraction for "error macro" found in a diagnostic menu in the original ''[[Mortal Kombat]]''. The name was speculated to be a hidden character, and he was eventually made a fully fledged fighter in this game.
+
====Bosses====
  
−
Classic Sub-Zero, Ermac, and Mileena were hidden in the arcade version but are immediately playable in the 16-bit ports. Noob Saibot and Rain are both exclusive to the 16-bit ports and have Brutalities but no other finishing moves. Sheeva was present in the arcade version but removed from the 16-bit ports.

===Mega Drive version===
+
Curiously, the Saturn version is closer to ''Mortal Kombat 3'' in design than to the arcade version of ''Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3'' and drops many ''Ultimate'' features.
−
Using the prior port of ''[[Mortal Kombat 3]]'' 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 [[Super NES]] 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 Cyborg 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''.
 
−
 
 
−
Animalities and Mercies were removed, reducing the number of finishing moves. However, Kabal still has his Animality combination coded, which, if executed, causes random glitches. Shao Kahn's treasure chest has only 10 boxes instead of 12, and the announcer no longer says the names of the characters. Most of the stages 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 stage above. Although the Bell Tower has been removed, the stage Fatality is still in the code and executable.
 
−
 
 
−
Another leftover from ''Mortal Kombat 3'' that is still accessible through a [[Game Genie (Mega Drive)|Game Genie]] code is the Endurance Mode. 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 ''Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3''.
 
−
 
 
−
Scorpion's "Hellraiser" 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" Fatality 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.
 
−
 
 
−
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.

Curiously, the Saturn version is less accurate, being closer to ''Mortal Kombat 3'' in design, dropping many ''Ultimate'' features.
 
  
 
The Bank stage that was present in ''Mortal Kombat 3'' but was missing from the arcade ''Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3'' returns. 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.

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

Kombat Kodes

Modes

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). Throws are performed by pressing  LP  when next to the opponent.

When using a standard three-button control pad, for moves requiring  LP , hold the direction and  LP  simultaneously. For moves requiring  HP , release the direction before pressing  LP . Special moves requiring  LP + HP  can be done with just  LP . Uppercuts are performed with Down+ LP .

Fatalities often require being a certain distance from the opponent in order to execute. Each character has a special button combination for performing the stage-specific Fatalities on the Subway, Bridge, and Pit 3 stages. 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

Hidden

Stages

The stages are played in order (and loop around after the last one). Motaro is fought in Kahn's Tower and Shao Kahn is fought in the Pit 3. The Subway, the Bell Tower, Pit 3, and Scorpion's Lair stages have stage-specific Fatalities.

Two stages are accessed by uppercutting an opponent through the ceiling of another stage: the Rooftop is above the Bank and Kahn's Kave is above Scorpion's Lair.

Versions

Curiously, the Saturn version is closer to Mortal Kombat 3 in design than to the arcade version of Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 and drops many Ultimate features.

The Bank stage that was present in Mortal Kombat 3 but was missing from the arcade Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 returns. 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, yet 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.

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.
