Here's some other FAQ's that I Write: -The Mortal Kombat 3 The Final Chapter (TFC) FAQ -The Mortal Kombat 3 The Final Chapter (TFC) Mini FAQ Page 4 ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?? STORY LINE ?? ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? "The Beginning" "Thousands of years ago an order of the wisest men from the Far East received visions of a dark realm. This realm came to be known as the OUTWORLD. It was a dark and Chaotic and ruled by a vicious emperor. The wise men knew that travel between the dark realm and Earth would someday be possible if the conditions were right. The conditions being the unbalancing of the furies - negative and positive forces which keep our unstable universe from collapsing onto itself. Knowing that the eminent Outworld invasion would prove too much for Earth, they appealed to the Elder Gods. It was for this reason the Elder Gods created the tournament of Mortal Kombat. Though this contest, we protect not only the safety of our realm, but the existence of our souls." "Evil Reborn" "For centuries Earth has used Mortal Kombat to defend itself against the Outworld's Emperor - Shao Kahn. But Kahn becomes frustrated by failed attempts at taking Earth though the tournament battle. He decides to enact a plan which began almost 10,000 years ago. It was during a time in which Kahn had a queen. Her name was Sindel and her premature death was devastating. Kahn's shadow priests, lead by sorcerer Shang Tsung, would 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 though the dimensional gates and reclaim his queen, thus enabling him to finally seize Earth" Page 5 "Conquest" "Upon breaching the Portal into Earth, Shao Kahn strips the planet of all human life. He claims every soul as his own. Slowly the Earth begins turning into a part of the Outworld itself. But there are human souls which Shao Kahn cannot take. These souls belong to the warriors chosen to represent Earth in a new Mortal Kombat. The warriors are scattered through-out the planet and Kahn sends an army of fierce Outworld warriors to find and eliminate them. Some of the Earth's warriors survive the attacks, but most do not. The remaining few hold the chance at saving all of human kind." "Raiden's Creed" "Remember these words warriors." "You have been chosen to represent Earth in Mortal Kombat. Each of you poses a vital threat to Shao Kahn's occupation of Earth. Be warned; although your souls are protected against Shao Kahn's evil, your lives are not! I cannot interfere with these matters any longer. Your Earth is now governed by the gods of the Outworld." "These are the words of RAIDEN." Page 6 ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?? GENERAL DEFINITIONS ?? ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Run Button: The Run Button is a yellow colored button. It's Down and to the Left of the Low Punch Button. You can run forward by holding run and towards. While you run the Run Meter under your life bar will go down, like the Turbo meter in NBA JAM, and then fill back up after you stop running. Special Moves: Special Moves are moves done with combinations of joystick directions and button presses. Some of the Possible Buttons in Special Moves are High Kick, Low Kick, High Punch, Low Punch, and Run. Kombos: Kombos are combinations of kicks, punches, and or special moves. A successful Kombo can damage your opponent heavily, but Kombos are limited to the Length of your Run Meter, because while you do a kombo the Run Meter goes down and limits the number of hits. You can get high hitting kombos if you use the Unlimited Run KK. After you finish a kombo the screen shows the # of hits and % of damage inflicted upon your opponent. Fatality: A fatality is a Finishing Move that kills your opponent. A fatality can be many different things. There are only two Fatalities per person and more will be in the Update in September. Mercy: A mercy is a move that can only be done in Round 3. A mercy gives your opponent a small amount of life back to your opponent for a last chance to live. To do a mercy you do this movement: Hold RUN, D,D,D,D, Rel. then your opponent regains consciousness. It works best if you stay out of close range. Animality: An Animality is a Fatal move where your character turns into an animal and kills his/her victim. An animality MUST be done after a mercy, and each character has different movements for the animality. Page 7 Babality: A Babality is a fatal move that turns your opponent into a Baby. In Order to do a Babality you must not use block in the winning round. The word Babality is spelled out in Building Block letters. Friendship: A Friendship is a fatal move that makes you be friends with your opponent. You can't use block in the Winning Round. Shao Kahn says "Friendship, Friendship" just as before then he Says "Again?" The word friendship is spelled out in balloons that are blown up and get smaller while Shao Kahn talks. Pit 3 Fatality: The person gets cut up in giant blades and body parts go everywhere in a spray of blood. The screen pauses right before the body hits the blades and then the body falls, kind of weird. Subway Fatality: The person gets knocked up into the ceiling and then they fall down in the background tracks and then he/she gets hit by a oncoming train. Shao Kahn's Tower: You uppercut him/her and then he/she falls down through all the floors of the tower. When he/she reachs the bottom he/she lands in spikes at the bottom just like in The Pit 1. Kombat Kodes: Kombat Kodes or KKs are Kodes put in at the bottom of the 2 player VS screen. They can get you many different things, like hidden characters. The first 3 icons are controlled by Player one while the other 3 are controlled by Player 2. Ultimate Kombat Kodes: Ultimate Kombat Kodes or UKKs are Kodes you put in after you die in a one player game and don't kontinue, it then asks you for a UKK and if you get it wrong Shao Kahn Makes fun of you in many ways. The Ultimate Kode unlocks Smoke and makes him playable, till the machine's memory battery is pulled out. Page 8 ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ??

Soul Chamber: There is a large figure of an open monster mouth with greenish smoke in it. The smoke moves and you can see some faces peek out of it at times. There are some giant skull figures with mouths open. There are spikes on the edge of the walkway that look like teeth. There are also a few statues of the MK2 Sorcerers. You can get knocked through the ceiling here up to the Balcony. The Graveyard: A graveyard with a bunch of tombstones. Four of the stones have some interesting names like, Boon, Tobias, Beran, Michicich, Cage, etc. There are tombstones with the MK Dragon logo on top. Shao Kahn Tower: This is a bell tower, you can see out the windows to the city. And you see the moon in the background. It looks like you can knock them down through the tower. You knock them down through the floors and when they hit the bottom the hit a bunch of spikes. The Pit 3: A bridge with spikes on the side of the walkway. There are floating green lamps in the background. There are big statues of faces in the back and sides of the stage. In this stage you knock them down into the pit, when you hit the bottom there are big turning blades that will cut you up into lots of pieces. The Subway: You're down on the subway tracks in the depot. The overhead lights are flickering on and off. And another neat thing here when you uppercut the other guy he gets smashed up into the street and then you follow. This fatal you must not uppercut the opponent and when you do the fatal you will knock them up and then they fall down in the other tracks then a train comes by and smashes into him/her. Page 11 The Bank: Stone floor with symbols on it. Windows that view out to the city. Doesn't look to much like a bank because it has walls with windows and no indication of a bank. On each wall there are lights. You can be knocked though the ceiling here to the Rooftop stage. The Rooftop: Cityscape with Shao Kahn's tower in the very back with the portal circling the top. It appears that you can knock them down off the building to the bottom of the building. There is a big dragon logo on the floor in the center of the stage. The Balcony: Green glowing pit off in the background. Large statues of Motaro to the far right & left. The green glowing pit seems to lead down into the Mouth of the statue with the souls in it in Soul Chamber since this stage is above the Soul Chamber. The Bridge: Cityscape in the back. Newspapers and other litter blowing in the wind. Looks like the bottom of the Rooftop stage. Also looks like this stage is next to the street stage. The Temple: There is a large stained glass window in the back with the MK Dragon Logo in it. And the red cloth draped over the altar has a gold MK Dragon Logo on it. There are red candles in the foreground. The Street: This is where you fight after going through the Subway Ceiling. This stage has paper and litter blowing in the wind in the background. This stage appears to be at the bottom of the rooftop stage. There is a hole in the ground when you get smashed up to the street, but don't fight over it. You can see it while the screen is scrolling up after the uppercut. Page 12 ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ??

BOSSES ?? ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Boss # 1: Motaro Motaro belongs to the Centaurian Race. The Centaurians are Half Human, Horse monsters with a steel tail. He can be very cheap with his teleporting and fireballs. Projectiles either disappear or bounce back at you so don't use them. Strategy to Beat: There's actually three simple ways to beat this guy. He's a real sucker for Kombos so even if you start one on him and he Blocks the first few hits keep the combo going because he'll eventually let down his guard. 1) Constantly do cross-over kicks followed by punishing Kombos. This way, while effective, is slightly more difficult than the next. 2) Trap the horse legged @#$! in the corner and keep the combo's rolling. After you do a combo to him he falls over. He stays in this fallen position for about 1 sec. enough time to start the combo over again. Boss # 2: Shao Kahn Played by Brian Glynn. He is allot harder to defeat him than before. He is now taller and has many new moves. He doesn't taunt you as much, and uses a big steel mallet to hit you with. He also has a fireball just like Kabal's in the way that it comes from his head. Strategy to Beat: 1) Rapid Projectiles 2) Attack him while he is Taunting you. Best attacks while he is doing this are Sub-Zero's freeze, Kabal's Spin, Smoke's Spear, an up close ground kombo.

OTHER CHARACTERS / HIDDEN GAMES ?? ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? *** Noob Saibot *** Played by Richard Divizio He's back and can be fought by a Kombat Kode on the VS screen. The winner on round one gets to fight him for one round. And he is a black Kano now not a black Scorpion. We haven't seen any moves for him yet. *** Smoke *** Played by Sal Divita Smoke returns in this game. But now as a Robo Ninja. He is the Robot in the Center of the select screen that appears now and then. You can fight him with A VS Kombat Kode, but he doesn't do any moves to you. You can play as him with the UKK. *** Raiden *** Played by Carlos Pensina Raiden is featured as a KK icon and in the story line. He is also featured in NightWolf's Friendship. He might be a hidden playable Character. HE will be in 3.0 as a Playable Character/?Boss. *** Galaga *** YOU HAVE BEEN TRANSPORTED TO ANOTHER REALM A REALM WHERE NEITHER THE EARTH WARRIORS NOR SHAO KAHN HAVE ANY CONTROL BEWARE THE REALM OF RELLIM OHCANEP (MILLER PENACHO) This is the message you get after you enter the Galaga Kombat Kode or have Reached 100 battles. You use HP to shoot the lasers. It plays many different sounds while he game is in play, very confusing. The game is also very fast. The game is Programmed by Mark Penacho and I think someone with the last name of Miller. *** Erinmac, name may have been changed *** Played by Mary Jane Kim, a Chicago Bulls Cheerleader She wears a red outfit, like Kitana's. We have yet to see her in the game yet, so she might have been pulled or saved for the update in Sept. The name ErinMac was given to her just like Cyrax and Sektor were called Mustard and Ketchup before the game was finished.

If you watch the names on the graves in the graveyard you will notice that the names move from grave to grave every round. It seems that Boons Grave is either there or not there. People have said that they have gotten Johnny Cage to come out of his grave to fight you if you do a movement in front of his grave. I don't belive that, but maybe someone else. Page 34 ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?? Character Stories ?? ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? **** SHANG TSUNG **** Story: "Tsung is Shao Kahn's lead sorcerer. He once fell out of favor with his emperor after failing to win the Earth Realm through tournament battle. But the ever scheming Shang Tsung is instrumental in Kahn's conquest of earth. He has now been granted more power than ever." Ending: "When Shao Kahn overtakes the Earth, he needs Shang Tsung to help locate the surviving humans. Granted new powers, Tsung soon discovers his dark emperor's true plan: as soon as the remaining warriors are disposed of, Kahn will take Tsung's own soul. After learning this, Tsung turns on his master. He catches Motaro off guard and then defeats Shao Kahn. But before the Earth can return to normal, Tsung takes all the souls as his own. He will forever rule the Earth with his own brand of evil." **** SINDEL **** Story: "She once ruled the Outworld at Shao Kahn's side as his queen. Now, 10,000 years after her untimely death, she is reborn on Earth. Her evil intentions every match for Shao Kahn's Tyranny. She is key to his occupation on Earth." Ending: "Sindel receives visions of her true past and turns against Shao Kahn. She discovers that her true king was named Jerrod. They once had a daughter named Kitana and ruled a realm called Edenia, before Kahn took it away in their own Mortal Kombat. He uses Sindel as a pawn in his quest for Earth and took Kitana as his own daughter. But in defeating Shao Kahn, Sindel frees the Earth. In doing so, she also liberates Edenia and assures a reunion with her 10,000 year old daughter - Kitana." ***** JAX ***** Story: "After failing to convince his superiors of the coming Outworld menace, Jax begins to covertly prepare for the future battle with Kahn's minions. He fits both arms with indestructible implants. This is a war Jax is prepared to win." Ending: "The second time Jax battles the forces of Shao Kahn he comes prepared. Thought to be the strongest man on Earth, he has no problem proving it: First by beating Kahn's armies and then by defeating the Emperor himself. When the world reverts back to normal, Jax and Sonya start the Outerworld Investigation Agency. Jax runs the exploratory division which learns to open portals through science rather than magic. He leads the first expedition into a mysterious new realm." Page 35 **** KANO **** Story: "Kano is thought to have been killed in the first tournament. Instead, he is found alive in the Outworld where he again escapes capture by Sonya. Before the actual Outworld invasion, Kano convinces Shao Kahn to spare his soul. Kahn needs someone to teach his warriors how to use Earth's weapons. Kano is the man to do it" Ending: "When Shao Kahn lets Kano live he fails to realize the resourcefulness of the scheming human. Kano lures Kahn's away on a false mission: then nukes them using a stolen weapon. He fights the remaining warriors and finally defeats Kahn himself. Kano's true intention is to take over the souls which Kahn once possessed. But Kano is unable to control the spirits as they escape and attack him. Rumored to have sufferd a violent death, Kano was ignorant of the fact that he saved the world he tried to conquer." **** LIU KANG **** Story: "After the OUTWORLD invasion Liu Kang finds himself the prime target of Kahn's extermination squads. He is the Shaolin Champion and has thwarted Kahn's schemes in the past. Of all the humans Kang poses the greatest threat to Shao Kahn's rule." Ending: "Liu Kang finds himself the prime target of Shao Kahn's extermination squads...Kang is the reiging Mortal Kombat champion and proves it by easily defeating Kahn's minions. But it is the apparent death of his friend Kung Lao that enrages Kang and enables him to find the strength to defeat Shao Kahn. Then, before the portal closes, Liu Kang is greeted by Princess Kitana and thanked for saving the Earth and the Outworld." **** SONYA **** Story: "Sonya disappears in the first tournament, but is later rescued by Jax. After returning to Earth, she and Jax try to warn the US Government of the looming Outworld menace. Lack of proof, they watch helplessly as Shao Kahn begins his invasion." Ending: "Sonya defeats her arch-enemy Kano high atop a skyscraper near Shao Kahn's fortress. She then comes face to face with the emperor himself. In an incredible display of courage, Sonya wins. When the world retuns to its normal state, Sonya has no trouble convincing her superiors to form the Outerworld Investigation Agency, devoted to protecting the Earth against possible future invasions from other realms." Page 36 **** STRYKER ***** Story: "When the Outworld portal opens up over a large city in North America, panic and chaos rage out of control. Kurtis Stryker was the leader of the riot control brigade when Shao Kahn began taking souls. He finds himself the lone survivor of a city once populated by millions." Ending: "Ignorant of why his soul was spared from the Outworld invasion, Stryker receives a vision from Raiden. He is instructed to travel west. He eventually meets the rest of Earth's warriors and learns the true meaning of his survival. He travels back to the city he swore to protect. Kahn is unfamiliar with this new kombatant and is caught off guard. Stryker defeats the warlord and saves the entire planet. The chaos that consumed the city in the hours before the invasion are gone." **** SMOKE **** Ending: "Smoke was once a friend and ally of Sub-Zero when they both tried to escape from being turned into machines by their ninja clan. But Smoke is captured and transformed into a cyborg with a mission to find and kill his own partner. But Smoke soon finds himself being persued by Shao Khan's minions. He learns he still has a soul and his true mission is the destruction of the Outworld invaders. He defeats Kahn and saves the world, but is forever trapped in his artifical body." **** SUB - ZERO **** Story: "The Ninja returns unmasked. Betrayed by his own clan, the Lin Kuei, he broke sacred codes of honor by leaving his clan and is marked for death. But unlike the Ninja of old his pressures come as machines. He must not only defend from the Outworld menace, but he must also elude his soulless assassins." Ending: "Sub-Zero wins and he destroys the Cyber-Ninja's except for the third, (Smoke). Smoke was a friend of Sub-Zero in his Lin Kuei days, so Sub-Zero gives Smoke his soul back and returns him to human form. Sub-Zero then returns to the shadows." Page 37 **** CYRAX **** Story: "Cyrax is unit LK-4D4, the second of three prototype cybernetic ninjas built by the Lin Kuei. Like his counterparts his last program command is to find and terminate the rogue Ninja Sub Zero. Without a soul Cyrax goes undetected by Shao Kahn and remains a possible threat against his occupation of Earth" Ending: "Cyrax is captured by Sub-Zero and reprogrammed with new orders: to destroy Shao Kahn. With Kahn unable to detect his assassin's souless presence, Cyrax delivers a successful sneak attack. However, after eliminating Kahn and saving Earth, Cyrax awaits new orders from his Lin Kuei headquarters. The orders never come and Cyrax malfunctions. He ends up stranded in the middle of a vast desert, blindly heading toward his base." **** SEKTOR **** Story: "Sektor is actually the code name for unit LK-9T9. He was the first of three prototype cybernetic ninjas built by the Lin Kuei. Sektor was once a human assassin trained by the Lin Kuei. He volunteered for automation because of his loyalty to the Clan. Sektor survives the Outworld invasion - he has no soul to take. Ending: "After eventually terminating Sub-Zero, Sektor is attacked by Shao Kahn's army. Unfamiliar with the Outworld warriors, Sektor fights back. He targets Kahn and all Outworld beings as threats to the Lin Kuei. Kahn's minions are no match for Sektor, who fights his way into the fortress. Once inside, Sektor initiates his self-destruct sequence. The resulting explosion is so massive that it closes the portal and returns Earth back to normal." **** NIGHTWOLF **** Story: "Works as a historian and preserver of his People's culture. When Kahn's portal opens over North America, NightWolf uses the magic of his Shaman to protect his tribe's sacred land. This area becomes a vital threat to Kahn's invasion of the Earth." Ending: "Nightwolf helps the other Earth warriors escape to his sacred land. Once there, they regroup and plan a form of attack against Shao Kahn's invasion. Nightwolf has trained hard for this battle. Finally, he faces Shao Kahn and emerges victorious. When the Earth returns to its normal state, Nightwolf peacefully regains his land his Native-American people lost over many years. They establish their own proud nation and soon become the great leaders of Earth." Page 38 **** SHEEVA **** Story: "She was hand picked by Shao Kahn to serve as Sindel's personal Protector. She becomes suspicious of Shao Kahn's loyalty toward her race of Shokan when he places Motaro head of his extermination squads. On the Outworld Motaro's race of Centaurians are the natural enemy of the Shokan." Ending: "While Sheeva serves her master on Earth, her race of Shokan are being punished on the Outworld. Kahn now favors Motaro's race of centaurs and aids them in defeating the Shokan. After learning of these events, Sheeva turns on her master. She defeats Motaro and in a rage brings down Kahn. In freeing the Earth, she also frees the Outworld. She then returns home and works to restore the pride and respect of her race." **** KUNG LAO **** Ending: "When Shao Kahn invades Earth, Kung Lao must scrap his plans of reuniting the White Lotus Society. He instead must focus on the new tournament. He seeks Liu Kang and together they battle Kahn's forces fearlessly. Using the knowledge he obtained as a Shaolin monk he fights in the name of his great ancestor - the original Kung Lao. He emerges victorous but suffers from injuries during battle with Kahn. Believed to have passed away, Kung Lao joins his ancestors in a new life." **** KABAL **** Story: "As a chosen warrior his identity is a mystery to all. It is believed he is a survivor of an attack by Shao Kahn's extermination squads. As a result, he is viciously scarred, kept alive only by artificial respirators and a rage for ending Shao Kahn's conquest." Ending: "After returning from near death, Kabal swears revenge against his attackers. He fights alongside the other Earth warriors. When he defeats Motaro and the mighty Shao Kahn he proves that he truly is the chosen one. Before the invasion, Kabal lived a life of crime. He was once a member of the Black Dragon along with Kano. Now Kabal devotes his life to fighting injustice. He will give crime's inner circles a new reason to fear." Page 39 ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?? Question Section ?? ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? I now added a Question section from some questions I get all the time. So now I'll answer some questions in this section but you must send them to me. Read the bottom of this section for info on sending me questions for the FAQ. Q. Who's back in the game from the old ones? A. Kano, Sonya, and Liu Kang are the ones returning from the first Mortal Kombat. Sub-Zero, Kung Lao, Jax, and Shang Tsung. Subbie is the Sub-zero from the second game not the first game. Q. Is Cyrax really Scorpion? A. No, Cyrax is all robot but Sektor is a cyborg. Sektor is formerly a ninja trained by the Lin Kuei ninja clan and volunteered to become part Robot, that can be the old Sub-Zero or Scorpion even though Scorpion belonged to a different ninja clan. Q. Is that WAV file of Johnny Cages death real? A. Yes that WAV file is Real. I know that because when you put in a coin into Proto 1.0 or 2.0 you hear the gong from the begging of the WAV file, so that proves that the WAV is real. Also the gongs and part of the music are in the intro screen with Raiden's Creed. Q. How do you play as Smoke and fight him? A. To fight him all you have to do is put the KK. But to flip around the center tile with Smoke behind you have to enter the UKK. There is no other way to play as Smoke. Q. What does the music sound like? A. The music has a deep spooky sound in some stages. The music in the Church has a spooky gothic feel to it. Also I think that the Subway has the best music. The music is all different for different stages to go along with the feel of the stage Q. What does the Arcade unit look like? A. The arcade unit has a picture of Shao Kahn and his queen Sindel standing on Shao Kahn's castle in the middle of a large abandoned city with the portal off in the distance over the city. On the top you just see the words MK 3 with the Dragon logo in the bottom arc of the 3. Bellow the joysticks you see the words Mortal Kombat 3, the only place on the whole machine that says Mortal Kombat 3. But your may be different if it's a kit. Page 40 Q. What are the joysticks set up like? A. There is the standard MK button layout with a new button, the RUN button. The run button is diagonally down from the LP. The 4 buttons RUN, LP, BL, HK are lined up perfectly. But this may be different if yours is a kit. Q. Is this one more realistic than MK2? I thought it was real stupid just having a pair of legs standing on its own...And do they keep Bleeding after fatalities? A. MK3 is allot more realistic looking than MK2. Some Fatalities have Skeletons which are pure white not Bloody. But other Fatalities have more realistic looking after effects like Sindel's Where she screams your skin off and the body has all the muscles exposed and bloody looking. They still have problems with explosion Fatalities where two heads fall, or having too many legs. Q. Are all the Pits and Mercys the Same? A. Yes, but in 1.0 only. In 2.0 everyone has different movements for each Pit Fatal/Mercy. The mercy is still the same but knowing Midway in the 3.0 version they will again change all the mercys different for everyone. Q. Is there more than one UKK in the game? A. There is only one UKK in the game and that is the Smoke UKK. If you have any questions send them to me with the subject MK3 Question And if I like it I'll put it into the FAQ Page 41 ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?? KOOL STUFF ?? ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? NEW KOOL STUFF: In EGM2 Issue 13 page 99 it shows the MK3 SNES picture of the Character Select screen with Shao Kahn in the middle where Smoke or the Dragon Should be. * The graves in the graveyard move to different places in in every round. * Random Select: U + Start the same as before * Difficulty can be chosen by picking one of three towers in a 1 player game. The only difference in difficulty is how many fights you have to be in. * You can be knocked through the ceiling in the Bank, Subway, and now the Soul Chamber. * Dan "Toasty" Forden returns again bigger and better looking and with a purple shirt. But he now Says Toasty and Frosty * PLAY A GAME OF GALAGA: 100 battles in a row. Or can be done by Kombat Kode. And you use HP to fire. Very expensive to do in a 2 Player game. * New Ending: When you beat the game on master in shows a new screen with three "Elder Gods." One of the Gods is Raiden, god of thunder. The other two are said to be other Japanese mythical gods. The screen says: "You have proven to be the supreme Mortal Kombat warrior. The Elder Gods now descend upon your world to grant you eternal power. More Kombat--Fall 95." * Frosty! - Dan Forden will now say Toasty and Frosty. To get him to come up and say Frosty!: Be Sub-Zero and Freeze you opponent while in Danger. He will then pop up and say FROSTY! You can do this over and over. * If you can defeat Smoke with the Kombat Kode by letting the time run out, you will fight Kano in the Portal. Only if you do this on a machine with no UKK put in.

I will no longer list all of the GIFs and Stuff because I have 30+ pictures so Just look for them at these places. Where to find some of the pics: *** AOL *** Critics' Choice Keyword: critics then go to games + CD-Roms and then go down to game archives Nintendo Power Source. Keyword: NOA.

BUGS SECTION ?? ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? * You can kill Shao Kahn with just fast projectiles, Liu Kang and Stryker * In the street stage, or was it the Bridge, if you do a fatal that scrolls the screen to make the person the fatal is being performed on to be in the center. The screen will get messed up showing more of the stage but all Black with papers blowing around. Kind of Weird looking. * The Computer Controlled Kabal can do many strange things. He walks in the air every now and then. I saw him do a teleport type thing where he dropped down through the floor and then came down slowly from the back of the human controlled opponent. Kabal is just full of bugs. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ??

Page 45 ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?? NEWS SECTION ?? ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? * The SNES Version of MK3 looks very good, but the names are out of the Power bars, under the Run Meter. The characters are almost the same size of the arcade version. This will satisfy any SNES owner, until the U64 comes out. * The PlayStation Version is identical to the Arcade, except for a few differences: There is only one digit for WINS: on the top of the screen. And it has a LONG loading time before each fight. * The Genesis version is not as good as the SNES. But better than the MK2 for Genesis version. The characters are very small and grainy, and the backgrounds look good. * New Version 2.1 - This Version has rid of the Free Game Bug. Also it seems in a two Player Game it doesn't say for the Winning Player Get Ready for your next Challenge. And fixes most bugs. * There will be a new ROM upgrade in September that will have 4-6 new characters. They are doing this to keep interest in the game, and they new Characters might in the Ultra 64 Home version only. * Different Blood for different types of Characters Green - Sheeva and Motaro Black - Cyrax, Sektor, and Smoke Red - Humans Page 46 ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ??
