"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
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."

±± 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 Joystick combinations of 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. When
you do a Kombo you can get allot of life off the person, 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.
After you finish a kombo the screen shows the # of hits and % of
Damage to the guy.
Fatality:
A fatality is a Finishing Move that kills your opponent. A fatality
can be many different things. There are at least three Fatalities per
person and more will be in the Update in September.
Mercy:
A mercy is a move that can only be done if you loose one round to your
opponent. 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 D,D,D,D,RN on Version 1.0 and then the guy comes back to life.
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.
I haven't seen a Friendship yet because I haven't played 2.0 yet, but
you can't use block in the Winning Round.
Nudalitys:
Yes there is Nudalitys in MK3 version 1.0. We think it's only for Sub
Zero. He strips the Female Character's Clothes off. I've seen it done on
Sheeva only as of now. It might have been removed because of Parents
observing the game via an overhead screen. Who then complained
to the management, who then complained to Midway who might have had them
removed. Don't Flame me if you don't belive me! This is true, but don't know
all the movements.
Pit 3 Fatality:
The Pit 3 Fatality is the same for everyone, F,F,F,F, RN on Version 1.0.
The person gets cut up in giant blades and body parts go everywhere in a
spray of blood.
Subway Fatality:
The Subway Fatality is the same for everyone, F,F,F,F, RN on Version 1.0.
The person gets knocked up into the ceiling and then they fall and then get
hit by a oncoming train on the other tracks.
Shao Kahn's Tower:
Shao Kahn's Tower Fatality is done by F,F,F,F, RN on Version 1.0. The guy
uppercuts you then you fall down through all the floors of the tower. When
you reach the bottom you land in spikes 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.
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. I have seen
no one get this right yet so don't know what it does.

All or most of the backgrounds were rendered on
Silicon Graphics Workstations machines.
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. There is a Fatal for this Stage: F,F,F,F, RN on
Version 1.0. 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. There is a Fatal for this Stage: F,F,F,F, RN
on Version 1.0. 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.
And there is a Background Fatal for this stage: F,F,F,F, RN on Version 1.0.
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 liter 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.

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.
3) Get his life lower than yours and then just stay a whole screen away
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 use 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) Low Fireballs from Kang or Purple Fireballs from Kabal over and over.
Best if you start while he is stunned.
2) Attack him while he is Taunting you. Best attacks while he is doing this
is Sub-Zero's freeze or Kabal's Spin.

*** Noob Saibot ***
Played by Richard Divizio
He's back and can be fought by a Kombat Kode on the VS screen. He
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. Rumor
from a constant Player of MK3 is that Smoke was picked once when Smoke
was pickable but was fixed soon after that. He said that Smoke has a
fork spear. And that Smoke does still Smoke and is now a Purple double
of Cyrax.
*** Raiden ***
Played by Carlos Pensina
Raiden is featured as a KK icon and in the
story line. And possibly a hidden Character.
*** Galaga ***
To get to the classic game Galaga you have to insert
a Kombat Kode or have 100 battles. HP shoots the lasers.
It says Fatality when you shoot a Ship.
*** Erinmac ***
Played by Mary Jane Kim, a Chicago Bulls Cheerleader
She wears a red outfit, like Kitana's. She got her name from the bug
named Ermac (ERrorMACro) in an old MK 1 or 2 version. Her name is not
Ermac as many think, this person's name is Erinmac. We have yet to see
her in the game yet, so she might have been pulled or saved for the
update in Sept.

You Can change the Icons on the bottom of the VS screen with button
presses of LP, LK, and BL. If you hold UP and hit a button it goes
though the kodes backwards so I show U+# to show how many times to
hit a button while holding UP. Player 1 selects the first three and
Player 2 controls the next three. If you match them or put them in a
certain combination to get a Kombat Kode. I was told my Mike (not
Matt) Kruse to add how many times to hit the buttons for
the KKs into the FAQ, so I did.
The Ad Kodes:
In the MK3 ads on TV in magazines and other places or things
associated with MK, like the MK live tour will feature some.
In all the Kodes they give out there is one icon they don't
give you and that is a # with a circle around it. There is
no easy way but to try every icon in it's place til it works.
I thought I had a system going but didn't work to well.
It worked sometimes but not always.

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 Lien Kien 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. What does the announcer like?
A. It's the same voice from MK2, Shao Kahn. But it sounds better and more
enhanced than the last game's.
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 thnink that the Subway
has the best music.
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.
Page 32
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, LOW PUNCH, BLOCK, HIGH KICK are lined up perfectly.
Q. What happens in the bottom of the Pit 3?
A. When you do the movements your guy uppercuts your opponent and they
fall down the side of the bridge. While falling it shows the side of the
person while falling. When the hit bottom you see allot of turning blades
on a wheels which cut you up into a lot of body parts and blood. Very
Gruesome.
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 seems to have different movements
for each Pit Fatal/Mercy.
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

* You can kill Motaro and Shao Kahn with just Low Fireballs from Liu Kang,
or from Kabal's Fireballs.
* Most Characters, especially Shao Kahn and Motaro, will just stand there
not attacking you and if you are winning you can just stay there and win
the round very easily as long as you don't attack or move towards the
opponent.
* 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 preformed 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.
* If you do a Kabal's Spin while Sektor is teleporting and Sektor
is high up on the screen. You can't hit them with an uppercut because if
you stand under them you wont be able to uppercut. Or Sektor can get
stuck in the spin under the screen. You can try to sweep them but most
times it wont work.

**** GOOD NEWS!!! ****
* I have recieved pics of MK3 for SNES and also KI for SNES. MK3 is not
completely finished and needs little work. Like the names are inbetween
the Life Meter and Run Meter. Looks pretty wierd. The Balcony is not dark
and has no green pit in the background. But all the other stages I saw
looked pretty good, the Bridge looked perfect but not as much paper.
The characters are 1/4 inch shorter and the select screen was all in a
different order, but no Smoke.
**** BAD NEWS!!! ****
* Revsion 2.0 is out and none of the Mercys, Pits, Subway, Tower, and
everyone's Fatalitys no longer work. Thet were all changed and won't work
at all. Revision 2.0 was accidently shipped to a friend of mine's arcade
where he works. Nothing works but most bugs were fixed. So I'm already
working on a FAQ for 2.0 only right now so until then I will use both
versions in one.
* The SNES and possibly U64 Home versions pictures are going to be put in
Issue 73 of Nintendo Power. I hope they look good.
* 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 be in the Ultra 64 Home version only.
* Babalities, Friendships, and Animalitys are in the game.
* 3D Rendered Backgrounds, and Other stuff here and there.
* The word Fatality is bloody but blood doesn't hit the ground.
* Different Blood for different types of Characters
Green - Sheeva, Black - Robots, Red - Humans
* When Players loose a round they fall straight backwards
not realistically.
* Smoke is pickable somehow. I Think that if you and your opponent pick
your character when he's on the screen and doesn't go away and then do
the random Kombatants KK and you just might change into him. Or if you
do random while he's on the screen and you might get him.

to get on the E-Mail Subscription List. He might send the FAQ out
to Internet Address also I'll have to ask. He will allways have the
Newest FAQ and will send it out when he gets it.
I'm still looking for someone that can send my FAQ out. For all the people
who want the FAQ through E-Mail. It is best if you are on the Internet
and not on CompuServe or AOL. If you want to do this send me mail
and I'll pick the best person for the job. This person will have to
keep a list of people who want all the New FAQs and then send them
out when I send it to him/her. This person will get credit in the FAQ
for His/her services.
Soon I'll begin writing a windows Shareware program that is an
Interactive FAQ. It'll have pictures of all the players and Bosses.
So if anyone has any suggestions send them to me so I can implement
that feature into the Program. Also I'm looking for good Scans or
Pictures of MK3 that any one can send me. Hopefully in full color
not color reduced!
