Be warned, for although your souls are safe from Shao Kahn's evil, your lives are not. I can no longer interfere as your Earth is now rules by the Outworld Gods..." "These are the words of Rayden" "For centuries Earth has used Mortal Kombat to defend itself against the Outworld's emperor, Shao Kahn. But Kahn grows frustrated by failed attempts at taking Earth through tournament battle. He enacts a plan which began 10,000 years ago." "During this time, Shao Kahn had a queen. Her name was Sindel, and her young death was unexpected. Kahn's shadow priests, led by Shang Tsung, 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 through the dimensional gates and reclaim his queen thus enabling him to finally seize the Earth realm." "Upon branching the portal into Earth, Shao Kahn slowly transform the planet into a part of the Outworld itself. Kahn strips the Earth of all human life: claiming every soul as his own. But there are souls which Kahn cannot take. These souls belong to the warriors chosen to represent Earth in a new Mortal Kombat." "The remaining humans are scattered throughout the planet. Shao Kahn sends an army of fierce Outworld warriors to find and eliminate them." "After the first tournament, Sonya Blade turned up missing. Jax then embarked on a rescue mission into the Outworld. He found Sonya being held with her nemesis Kano. In freeing Sonya, Jax also frees Kano. Kano then uses the chance to escape arrest." "The Ultimate Advancement in Lin Kuei technology comes with the creation of the firt cyber assassins. They begin converting their human ninjas into souless machines. But Sub-Zero refuses to take part and is marked for death by his own clan." "After winning the first Mortal Kombat and escaping from the Outworld, Liu Kang looks to the future. He begins training a new generation of Shaolin alongside Kung Lao. But nothing could prepare them for the unexpected Outworld invasion." ==={ CHARACTER SELECT SCREEN }=== (For Arcade, Sega Saturn, PlayStation 2, X-Box Live Arcade, and Nintendo DS): Kitana / Reptile / Sonya / Jax / Nightwolf / Jade / Scorpion Kano / Mileena / Ermac / Classic Sub-Zero / Sub-Zero Sektor / Sindel / Stryker / Cyrax / Kung Lao Kabal / Sheeva / Shang Tsung / Liu Kang / Smoke (For Super NES, Sega Genesis, and Game Boy Advance): Rain / Reptile / Stryker / Jax / Nightwolf / Jade / Noob Saibot Sonya / Kano / Mileena / "?" / Classic Sub-Zero / Sub-Zero / Kung Lao Sektor / Kitana / Ermac / Scorpion / Cyrax Kabal / Sindel / Smoke / Liu Kang / Shang Tsung Note: This character select screen varies from one versions to the next.

Remember that at the end of a winning match, once you make your final blow to your opponen's life bar, they will fall then immedaitely get dizzy with Shao Kahn shouting the key words, "Finish Him/Her!" During this time you will only had a few quick seconds to complete a finishing command in able to make it work. Fatalities: These can only be done after Shao Kahn shout, "Finish Him/Her!" in the winning round and in the correct distance on the screen. Pit Fatality: These can only be perform at Scorpion's Lair, the Subway, the Bell Tower, and the Pit 3 stage. To knocked opponent off you must be near your opponent after Shao Kahn shout, "Finish Him/Her!" in the winning round. Animality: These can be done after performing a Mercy! in the third winning round after Shao Kahn shout, "Finish Him/Her!" After that, beat the opponent once more and this time input the Animality on the correct distance. It should work. (This finishing move is not available on the Super NES and Sega Genesis versions of Ultimate MK3). Friendship: These can be perform almost anywhere on the screen after Shao Kahn shout, "Finish Him/Her!" in the winning round provided you never use Block during that round. Babality: Unlike Friendship, these can be perform anywhere on the screen after Shao Kahn shout, "Finish Him/Her!" in the winning round provided you never use Block during that round. Brutality: Unlike all finishing moves above, Brutality is a finishing combo in which player must perform by doing a button sequence simply by pressing a series of attack. It could only be done after Shao Kahn shout, "Finish Him/Her!" in the winning round. (This finishing move is only exclusive to the Super NES and Sega Genesis versions of Ultimate MK3). Mercy: To give mercy to your opponent, you must beat your opponent on the third winning round (your opponent must win at least one round before this), and after Shao Kahn shout "Finish Him/Her!, immediately hold down the Run button while standing at a far distance from your opponent, from there quickly press Down on the joystick about three or four times then release Run. You should hear Shao Kahn say the name of your character and remind you that you had just give mercy to your opponent. Giving Mercy to an opponent allowed him or her to resume fight with very little health. After you beat your opponent the second time; however, you would be allow to perform Animality or any finishing manuvers you desire. (Mercy could not be perform in the Sega Genesis version of Ultimate MK3). Note: You will only get five seconds to perform a finishing moves (two seconds in the Sega Genesis version), if after your seconds are up and you couldn't get the command to work, your dizzy opponent will get spare and fall instantly down to the ground clean. If you do get the finishing move to work, the screen will turn dark and an action of the finishing manuver will take place. Of all the finishing moves mention above, the pit fatality is the only finisher that doesn't turn the screen dark since it serve more as a knocked out move instead. ==={ DISTANCES }=== When performing a finishing move you need to know the right distance required for some of them, here are the ones most arcade players are familiar with... Close: Standing next to opponent, the same distance in which you could hit or combo your opponent. This distance is used the most when performing a Pit fatality. Sweep Distance: About two feet away from opponent, it's the distance where you can't hit your opponent but could still foot sweep them. An example of this is Liu Kang's animality. Outside Sweep: About three to four feet away from opponent, the distance where you can jump over your opponent to the opposite side as well as the distance where you can't foot sweet your opponent. An example of this is Nightwolf's friendship. Jump Distance: The same distance where you can forward flip jump to get near your opponent but not to the other side. An example of this is Scorpion's Toasty fatality. Half Screen: About one feet outside jump distance. You should still not be near your opponent if you make a forward flip jump at this distance. An example of this is Sonya's Purple Bubble fatality. Far Away: The distance as far away from the opponent as possible even outside of Half Screen. For this distance, it would have to at least take you two forward flip jumps to reach near your opponent. An example of this is Mileena's Nail Spit fatality. Anywhere: Any of the above distances. This applies to babality the most as they could be perform near or away from opponent. ==={ THE KOMBATANTS }=== * Chameleon * Classic Sub-Zero * Cyrax * Ermac * Human Smoke * Jade * Jax * Kabal * Kano * Kitana * Kung Lao * Liu Kang * Mileena * Motaro * Nightwolf * Noob Saibot * Rain * Reptile * Scorpion * Sektor * Shang Tsung * Shao Kahn * Sheeva * Sindel * Smoke * Sonya Blade * Stryker * Sub-Zero Note #1: All the character's bios here are not taken directly from the game but are my summaries about them instead.

To enter a code, player one must use the stylus to tap the slots a number of corresponding times on the touch screen of the Nintendo DS. Once a code is enter and enable, player will no longer be required to enter it again unless the game is reset. Unlike vs. kombat kode, once all UKK codes are enter, the UKK screen will no longer appear before a Game Over. * Enable Mileena ====================== 2-2-2-6-4 * Enable Ermac ======================== 1-2-3-4-4 * Enable Classic Sub-Zero ============= 8-1-8-3-5 - FREE PLAY - (Sega Saturn version only): At the title screen (the purple "Ultimate MK3 logo" screen with the skulls in the background), press Up, Up, Right, Right, Left, Left, Down, Down. If you've done it correctly, you'll hear Shao Kahn shout, "Excellent!" Now your credit counter will be replace by the words "Free Play" which allowed you to continue as many times as you want. Note: This code also works at the copyright screen when the game first load as well as the "There Is No Knowledge That Is Not Power" screen. - ORIGINAL UNLOCK SMOKE TRICK - (Super NES version only): The original unlock Smoke trick from the Super NES version of MK3 still works in Ultimate MK3; however, it's rather useless since Smoke is already a selectable character. To do this, you must hold Left + A at copyright screen, then when the Williams screen appear, release Left + A and hold Right + B. Then when the "There Is No Knowledge That Is Not Power" screen appear, release Right + B and hold X + Y until the Ultimate MK3 title screen appears. Smoke will walk into the screen and you'll hear Shao Kahn shout, "Outstanding!" - RESTART TRICK - (Super NES version only): While playing a One Player game, press START on the second controller, then hold START on yours. When the Mode Select screen appear, choose "MORTAL KOMBAT" and you can restart the fight with a new character without using continues. - 8-MAN TOURNAMENT MODE - (Super NES version only): To access the classic MK3 8-Man Tournament Mode, at the main menu, highlight Sart Game, hold both the L and R trigger buttons and press START. - FIGHT ALTERNATE COLOR OPPONENTS - (Super NES version only): When playing a 2-on-2 multiplayer match, beat player 2 and have them quit, then start a new game in one-player vs. CPU match as player 1. All the CPU opponents you'll face will appeared wearing their alternate color outfit instead of their default one. - PLAY AS ALTERNATE COLOR CHARACTER VS. CPU MATCHES - (Super NES version only): When playing a 2-on-2 multiplayer match, beat player 1 and have them quit, then start a new game in one-player vs. CPU match as player 2. The character who you last play as will remain wearing their alternate color outfit throughout all the CPU matches. - GLITCH SHEEVA - (Super NES version only): While at the 8-Man Tournament Mode, highlight the first box, then hold Up and press START to start a Random Select. If you happen to get an "E" box, that means that the character on that box is a glitch Sheeva. She is playable but had no special or finishing moves. Beware when using her though as she could crash the game if not control properly. - GLITCH STAGE - (Sega Genesis version only): Beat the game with any character. When the green flames is coming out of Shao Kahn's tower, press START on Controller 2. After that, select your character as normal, then you'll be transported to a glitch stage where you fight in the air near Kahn's fortress. - SKIP CPU MATCHES - (Sega Genesis version only): While playing a one-player game, win your first match then on the second match have the second player join in by pressing START. Then at Mode Select screen, choose Mortal Kombat and press START on the first player controller. Now return to the character select screen and choose your character. You'll return to the destiny screen but instead of facing the same character you fought before, you will immediately skip him or her and fight your next opponent. This trick will continue to work as long as you don't lose a match and you could do this up until you reach Motaro and Shao Kahn. Beware not to do this once your reach Shao Kahn though otherwise you'll be facing an unlimited number of Kano matches thereafter. This trick will only work after you won a match, if you happen to lose to the CPU, you must beat that CPU opponent in that match and try the trick again in your next match. - EASY FINISHERS - (Super NES version): To easily initiate a finishing move in the Super NES version of Ultimate MK3, you must first access the Kooler Stuff cheat menu, then turn on Quick Finish. Once that is turn on, you could easily perform a finishing moves with the touch of a button after Shao Kahn shout, "Finish Him/Her!" The button of the correct finishers are as follow: * Fatality #1 ========= Y Button * Fatality #2 ========= B Button * Pit Fatality ======== L Button * Animality =========== X Button (used to work in the original MK3) * Friendship ========== A Button * Babality ============ R Button * Brutality =========== Y Button (required kombat kode) Note #1: For some reason, the initiate button for Animality serve no purpose in this game, it was useful in the original Super NES version of MK3 but Williams forgot to revise it. It was intend to replace the Animality finisher with the Brutality but they didn't had much time to do that. Because of that, a separate vs. kombat kode is required in able to do an easy one button Brutality finisher. (Sega Genesis version): To easily perform a finisher in the Sega Genesis version of Ultimate MK3, you must first access the Killer Code menu, then turn on the Quick Finish option to any finishers of your choice, Fatality 1, Fatality 2, Animality, Babality, and Friendship. Once one finisher is turn on, you could easily perform that character's finisher with the finishing touch for example to perform Jade's Babality, all you need to do is press HK. If the finisher is a fatality that ended with a directional movement such as cyborg Smoke's Oblivion fatality, all you need to do is set the option to Fatality #1 then stand in the correct distance for the fatality and press Down on the directionl pad. It should work. Note #2: The Animality finisher option for this game, like the Super NES version, doesn't work and I don't know why Williams didn't replace this with the Brutality. There are also no Brutality versus code for this version so if you are going to perform a Brutality, you must do the button sequences. Also there are no option to do a Pit Fatality so you must perform that with its move sequence as well. - SECRET CHEAT MENUS - (( SEGA SATURN )) Enter this code during the game's attract mode: * Secret Cheat Menu == Press C, R, A, Z, Y, C, Y, R, A, X You'll hear Shao Kahn laugh to confirm the code. Make sure you hear him laugh twice. Then press START to access the Mode Select screen, while there, highlight Kombat, hold Up and press START to access a secret cheat menu. The secret cheat menu will allowed you to enable Mileena, Ermac, and/or Classic Sub-Zero without entering the UKK codes as will as turning on Free Play for inifinite credits, Infinite Fatality Time to allowed longer time to perform a finishing moves, as well as 1 Round Match to fight for a single round only. (( SUPER NES )) Enter these codes at the main menu: * Kool Stuff ========== Press Right, Up, B, B, A, Down, Up, B, Down, Up, B * Kooler Stuff ======== Press Up, B, A, Left, Down, Y * Scott's Stuff ======= Press B, A, Down, Down, Left, A, X, B, A, B, Y * Sound Test ========== Press Left, Down, Y, Y (( SEGA GENESIS )) At the main menu, enter any one of these codes to access all of them: * Cheats=============== Press A, C, Up, B, Up, B, A, Down * Secret ============== Press B, A, Down, Left, A, Down, C, Right, Up, Down * Killer Codes ======== Press C, Right, A, Left, A, Up, C, Right, A, Left, A, Up Note: For Sega Genesis, you are not required to enter all of them, if one of three code is enter, all three cheat menus will appear simultaneously. - PLAY AS HUMAN SMOKE - (All versions) To play as Human Smoke, choose cyborg Smoke, then hold the corresponding buttons before any round begins... * For Player One ====== Hold Left on Joystick + HP + HK + BL + RN * For Player Two ====== Hold Right on Joystick + HP + HK + BL + RN If done correctly, Smoke will explode and change into Human Smoke before the round starts. Note: On the Sega Genesis version of Ultimate MK3, the code doesn't required the need to hold the D-Pad. For the Game Boy Advance port, Human Smoke could only be unlock by completing the Warrior tower at the "Choose Your Destiny" screen and would only be available at the character select screen. - PLAY AS NOOB SAIBOT AT THE ARCADE - (only PLAYABLE on the WAVENET Ultimate MK3 machine) To select Noob Saibot, you must start a two-player game, then choose Kano as your character. Then before any round begins, press and hold HP + LP + BL + LK and hold the Joystick away from your oponent. When the fight starts, Kano will explode and change into Noob Saibot. Note: This is not the Kano version of Noob Saibot as it was in MK3. In this game, Noob Saibot doesn't had any of his special and finishing moves as he did in the Super NES and Sega Genesis versions. - PLAY AS SHAO KAHN - (Super NES, Sega Genesis, and Game Boy Advance versions) To play as Shao Kahn, you must first enable the following cheats: For the Super NES, you must first enable the Scott's Stuff (see cheat menus code above) cheat menu, then access the menu and turn on the "Enable Shao Kahn" option. Once he is enable, you could select him for play in a two-player game at the character select screen. For the Sega Genesis, you must first enable the Killer Codes (see cheat menus code above) cheat menu, then access the menu and choose to "Enable Shao Kahn." Once he is enable, you could select him for play in a two-player game at the character select screen. For the Game Boy Advance port, you must complete the Grand Master tower in one- player mode. After completing that, Shao Kahn would be selectable at the character select screen. - PLAY AS MOTARO - (Super NES, Sega Genesis, and Game Boy Advance versions) To play as Motaro, you must first enable the following cheats: For the Super NES, you must first enable the Kooler Stuff (see cheat menus code above) cheat menu, then access the menu and turn on the "Enable Motaro" option. Once he is enable, you could select him for play in a two-player game at the character select screen. For the Sega Genesis, you must first enable the Killer Codes (see cheat menus code above) cheat menu, then access the menu and choose to "Enable Motaro." Once he is enable, you could select him for play in a two-player game at the character select screen. For the Game Boy Advance port, you must complete the Master tower in one-player mode. After completing that, Motaro would be selectable at the character select screen. Note: On the Sega Genesis version of Ultimate MK3, the cheat won't allowed both Motaro and Shao Kahn to be enable simultaneously so players are left with only one boss available for play in a two-player game whereas the Super NES version allowed both to be enable and available for play in a two-player game though only one player could choose them on both versions. - PLAY AS CHAMELEON - (Super NES and Sega Genesis versions) To play as Chameleon, an unfinished palette swap secret character in Ultimate MK3, you must access the following codes using a cheat device: (For Super NES): Enter Pro Action Replay Codes For Player One: * 7E36D019 * 7E52C819 For Player Two: * 7E389419 * 7E52CA19 Note #1: Unlike the Sega Genesis version of Chameleon, the Super NES version had Rain's name in the health bar, but had Scorpion's color palette, appearances, and combos and is non-glitchy. Like the Sega Genesis version, he lack special and finishing moves. (For Sega Genesis): Enter Game Genie Codes * BMTA-AWBA to enter the center dragon box from the left side at the character selection screen. Then enter * DHST-AAG6 to access Chameleon in that dragon box. Note #2: Unlike the Super NES version of Chameleon, the Sega Genesis version had his name fully printed on his health bar and had Kano's picture at the vs. screen and is very glitchy at times. Like the Super NES version, he had all of Scorpion's appearances, vs. screen palette, and combos but lack special and finishing moves.

He could be played only through a cheat device and no other. - CRISPY!! - (Every versions except the Super NES, Sega Genesis, and Game Boy Advance) Hold the indicated buttons during the Hell "Pit" Fatality . . . * HP button to hear Dan Forden say Crispy!! * RN button to hear Shao Kahn say Crispy!! - FROSTY!! - (Every versions except the Super NES, Sega Genesis, and Game Boy Advance) Freeze your opponent when their health are in the Danger status and you'll hear Forden shout "Frosty!." - PLAY HIDDEN GAME - (All versions except Game Boy Advance and Nintendo DS) To play a short game of Galaga you must... 1.

Basics: * U = Up * F = Forward * D = Down * B = Back * P = Punch * K = Kick * RN = Run * BL = Block Game Boy Advance Controls * A = Punch * B = Kick * L = Run * R = Block To easily perform a special move in the GBA port of this game, you must tap the confirm button a few seconds immediately after tapping the directional inputs for example to perform Sub-Zero's Ice Freeze special, tap down, forward on the D-Pad then wait two seconds (be sure not to get hit during this), then press Punch (B button by default). I know it sucks to do this but it works though. The same applies to finishing moves as well, unlike the other ports, you could perform finishing move anywhere in this game.
