About Mortal Kombat 3

Mortal Kombat 3 (MK3) is a hard hitting fighting game by Midway Games and was first released into arcades in 1995.

Like in previous Mortal Kombat games, there is a cast of characters that players can select to battle against other opponents. Mortal Kombat 3 retains the blood and gore and introduces new types of the fatality finishing moves, like Animalities.

Other features new to the series are combos and a "Run" button, which allows players to briefly dash toward their opponent. Additionally, there are "Kombat Kodes", which unlock additional content, that can be entered before two-player matches.

Mortal Kombat 3 omitted some highly popular characters from the previous games. However, some were added back in an update, Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, which was released later in 1995.
