Fatalities for the new fighters look rather goofy than gruesome.

Like the previous games, the AI is sometimes extremely unfair with Motaro and Shao Kahn being the worst offenders.

Not to mention, Noob Saibot had to become a paletteswap of Kano, due to lack of ninjas in MK3.As mentioned in WIR#3, the ninjas and Johnny Cage are missing in MK3, due to Daniel Pesina ditching Midway in 1994, although Sub-Zero is still in MK3, but in a different apperance.The Game Boy Advance port of UMK3 is horrendously bad, with cheap AI, tons of glitches and more.

Instead, they have been replaced with Rain and Reptile, and this doesn't even feel like Mortal Kombat, since Scorpion and Sub-Zero are the series mascots.

The version of Mortal Kombat Trilogy doesn't include Scorpion or even Sub-Zero.Due to lack of space in both SNES and Genesis versions Animalities were removed and replaced with Brutalities which is just a myriad of punches before the opponent explodes.And on top of that, Sheeva is a very broken and unfinished character in the SNES port of UMK3, which can be easy to crash the game, as using her causes a lot of bugs and glitches.Because of this, there are many ways to crash the game easily. The SNES versions of MK3 and UMK3, while not bad, have a lot of glitches compared to other ports.The Game Boy, Game Gear and Master System versions of MK3 are somehow awful, unlike MK2's Game Boy, Game Gear and Master System ports.Just like MK1, some of the game's console ports can be problematic, even for UMK3 and MKT's ports:.Versions for Sega Saturn and Nintendo DS are almost arcade-perfect.One of them is called 'Frosty!', which appears sometimes when you or your opponent gets hit by Sub-Zero's Ice Blast, and 'Crispy!', which appears sometimes when you perform the stage fatality in the 'Hell' stage. 'Toasty!' spawned 2 more easter eggs that are similiar to it.It is so memorable that it would want to stay in your head for so long, similiar to music in Super Mario Bros. The music, just like the rest of the games, is awesome and memorable.3 of the spaces are controlled by the first player, and others are controlled by the second player. The codes contain 6 spaces, which can be seen in the vs. As mentioned in WIR#5, there are now codes, which can do some stuff, like turn off the timer.There's even a thing called 'Mercy', which gives your opponent a little more HP before you would want to actually do a fatality on your opponent. Ever since Mortal Kombat 3, there are now animalities, which are fatalities where your character transforms into a animal and kills your opponent.There is now the combo system since MK3, meaning you can know how much damage you or your opponent have deal to you or your opponent, which is very helpful to know how much percent you and your opponent have lost after being hit once or several times.This is similiar to Mortal Kombat II, as MK2 contains a hidden game of Pong. The Arcade version of Mortal Kombat 3 contains a hidden game of Galaga, which can be played by a code, or if you will win 100 fights in a row.What's more awesome is that we can finally see our long time no seen friend from MK1, Goro, even before Mortal Kombat 4.This means Goro, Kintaro, Motaro and even Shao Kahn, the final boss of the game became playable in MKT. In Mortal Kombat Trilogy, you can finally play as bosses from MK1, MK2, MK3 and UMK3.In Mortal Kombat Trilogy, Johnny Cage, Raiden and Baraka finally return after their absence in MK3 and UMK3.Even Noob Saibot is no longer a paletteswap of Kano. And on top of that, some characters from MK1 and MK2 return in UMK3, such as Jade, Reptile, Scorpion, Kitana, Human Smoke, Mileena and Classic Sub-Zero.Not to mention, 2 of the characters from MK1, Sonya and Kano return after their absence in Mortal Kombat II. MK3 contains new characters, with some of them being introduced, such as Sindel, Nightwolf, Stryker, Cyrax, Sektor, Sheeva, Motaro and Kabal.This can make you finish the fight even faster, since you can now run in Mortal Kombat games, thanks to MK3. Unlike MK1 and MK2, you are now able to run since MK3, which now makes the game look like a real fighting game with running, unlike MK1 or MK2.They still stay awesome, making Mortal Kombat 3 belong to that category. As what would you expect from a Mortal Kombat game, expecially released for Arcade, the graphics in the Arcade Mortal Kombat games never turn bad. Awesome graphics that still look good, even for today and 1995 to 1996 standards.
