Mortal Kombat 3Mortal Kombat 3 is the third game in the Mortal Kombat series. It was remade into Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, and then into Mortal Kombat Trilogy. New characters MK3 introduces Cyrax (yellow Lin Kuei cyber ninja), Kabal (a mutilated Black Dragon), Motaro (Centaur general of Shao Kahn's extermination squads), Nightwolf (Native American shaman), Sektor (red Lin Kuei cyber ninja), Sheeva (Shokan warrior, possibly one of Goro's seven wives), Sindel (resurrected queen of Outworld), and Kurtis Stryker (riot cop). MK3 has a hidden character: Smoke, Sub-Zero's friend, converted into a cyber-ninja. Returning characters Jax, Kano, Kung Lao, Liu Kang, Shang Tsung, Shao Kahn, Sonya Blade, Sub-Zero. New to the series - MK3 introduced the "Run" button, accompanied by a "Run" meter, allowing the character to run.
- MK3 also introduced "chain combos", also known as "dial-a-combos" (many other fighting games at the time had similar combo systems). These suplement the existing juggle combo system, but critics contend that dial-a-combos are redundant and needlessly add to the learning curve of the game.
- MK3 introduced the long-rumoured Animality, where the character transforms into an animal in order to kill your opponent.
- MK3 also introduced "Mercy," allowing a beaten foe to recover a sliver of life and continue fighting. This is necessary to perform an Animality.
Storyline When Sindel is reincarnated in Earthrealm, Shao Kahn reaches across the dimensions to reclaim her. As a consequence of his action, Outworld is forcibly merged with Earthrealm, killing billions instantly. Only a few are spared, as Raiden protects their souls. He tells them that Shao Kahn must be stopped, but he cannot interfere; due to his status, he has no power in Outworld, and Earthrealm is partially merged with Outworld. Shao Kahn has unleashed extermination squads to roam Earthrealm and kill any survivors, and Raiden's protection only extends to the soul, not to the body, so his chosen warriors have to fight the extermination squads and repel Shao Kahn. Mortal Kombat 3 follows Mortal Kombat II, and precedes Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, and Mortal Kombat Trilogy.
