Other codes will unlock the demonically beautiful Milenna, and the long believed dead Sub-Zero I. Holding down LP, BLK, LK, Run, and the joystick Down and Left or Down and Right, will change Cyborg Smoke into Human Smoke.Game IntroductionThis game is the same as Mortal Kombat 3 except for the inclusion of new backgrounds and more charactors (22 playable in all). This version marks the return of Scorpion, Reptile, Kitana and Jade (not to mention the endurance rounds). Hidden characters include Human Smoke, Classic Sub-Zero, Mileena, Ermac, Rain and Noob Saibot (Rain and Noob Saibot are not selectable in any way).The Background so far, Shao Kahn has taken over the Earth Realm by letting his wife Sindel be reborn on Earth to open the way and has stripped Earth's souls. Some souls however, have be protected by Thunder God Raiden and Kahn cannot touch then. Kitana has decided she cannot sit back and let her forced father reap what he has sown. Jade has decided to join her, though she work in her own mysterious way. Reptile has found himself betrayed and seeks revenge. And Scorpion, The Lost Soul Bent On Revenge, may get what he's fought for. He alone may hold a wild card for the Earth Realm. Other Fighters from past tournaments, The Demonic Milenna & The Mysterious Ermac, have joined the fray. And believed dead from in the year 1992, Sub-Zero Older brother, The Original Sub-Zero has returned. Each one, has it's own good or evil motis operenda and a common goal. THE DESTRUCTION OF SHAO KAHN!Game PlayYou start by choosing the type of game:
The game play is the same as the standard fighting-type games; punch, kick, shoot, or otherwise injure the enemy until you or your opponent's energy is depleated. The entire Mortal Kombat series is unique in the way that it allows you special finishing moves. After defeating your opponent, the game states to "Finish Him" and you have about two seconds to perform a series of joystick movements and button combinations. If performed correctly your character will perform a Fatality, Babality, Animality, Friendship, or Brutality. MiscellaneousChoosing the second question mark after finishing an eight-player tournament shows all the playable charactors fatalities, friendships, and babalities (with the exception of Classic Sub-Zero).Scarcity in collections (VAPS.org)Very Common - There are 76 known instances of this game owned by one of our 900 members.

Wanted - There are 6 VAPS members currently looking for this game. Rarity is NOT necessarily an indication of value. Some common games show up as very rare here because collectors don't want them (they are common because arcade operatos might be sitting on tons of them in warehouses), while some fairly scarce games are grabbed by collectors every time they show up. Additionally, some games made in the last 5 years are still making money for operators and are thus not yet affordable to the typical collector. For a clue to value, compare how many people have this game vs. how many people want this game and then click on the eBay links to help determine an accurate price range.

This condition was a rare glitch that would load a level where the player could fight Ermac the ninja from the original Mortal Kombat.eBay ListingsClick here to automatically search eBay's Arcade, Jukebox, and Pinball categories for the Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 Videogame machine and items related to it.Click here to automatically search eBay's Arcade, Jukebox, and Pinball categories for machines and parts made by Midway.
