Shao Kahn has won. The Earthrealm is no more. In order to revive his Queen Sindel, the emperor Shao Kahn used the Outworld Tournament from Mortal Kombat 2 as a diversion while his Shadow Priests revive his fallen Queen on Earth. Once enacted, the dimensional bridge between the two realms connects, allowing Kahn's extermination squads to invade and destroy Earth, and enslave the population's souls.

A small team of Raiden's "Chosen Warriors" survives the attack: Mortal Kombat champion Liu Kang and his ally Kung Lao, Special Forces agents Sonya Blade and Jax, the shaman Nightwolf, the riot cop Stryker, the nomadic Kabal, and former Lin Kuei warrior Sub-Zero, who has gone rogue from his clan. Facing the warriors are the mercenary Kano, cyber-ninjas Smoke, Sektor and Cyrax, Sheeva, a female Shokan, the sorcerer Shang Tsung, and Queen Sindel herself.

Mortal Kombat 3 brings new elements to the 2D fighting series: multi-level playfields, "Dial-A-Combo" attacks, a "Run" button to speed up the battles, and "Vs." codes, which unlock new powers and abilities once both players enter a code sequence in pre-match-up screens. Also included are more stage fatalities and finishing moves as each warrior attempts to go one-on-one with the Centaurian enforcer Motaro, and Shao Kahn himself.

Mortal Kombat 3 is the last traditional one-on-one fighting game in the series to feature motion-captured digitized graphics for its kombatants, and introduces online network play to the PC version of GameBoy .

Extracted from the original game manual

This fighting game plunges players into a desperate struggle for Earth's survival. As one of the last remaining Earthrealm warriors, you must battle Shao Kahn's Outworld forces to prevent him from fully conquering and destroying your home. The fate of humanity rests on your ability to defeat the invading army and reclaim Earth.

Story

Rayden's Warning

"You have been chosen to represent Earth in Mortal Kombat. Be warned. For although your souls are safe from Shao Kahn's evil, your lives are not. I can no longer interfere, as your Earth is now ruled by the Outworld gods."

These are the words of Rayden.

Shao Kahn's Plan

For centuries Earth has used Mortal Kombat to defend itself against the Outworld's Emperor, Shao Kahn. But Kahn grows frustrated by failed attempts to take Earth through Tournament battle. He enacts a plan which began 10,000 years ago.

During that time Shao Kahn had a Queen named Sindel. Her early death was unexpected. Kahn's shadow priests, led by Shang Tsung, made 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 through the dimensional gates and reclaim his Queen, thus enabling him to finally seize the Earth Realm. Upon breaching the portal into Earth, Shao Kahn slowly transforms the planet into a part of the Outworld.

Earth's Fate

He strips the Earth of all human life, claiming every soul as his own. But there are souls which Kahn cannot take. These souls belong to the Warriors chosen to represent Earth in a new Mortal Kombat.

The remaining humans are scattered throughout the planet. Shao Kahn sends an army of fierce Outworld Warriors to find and eliminate them. Some of Earth's Warriors survive the attacks. Most do not, but the remaining few hold the one chance at saving all of human kind.

Enemies & Characters

Many decades ago, Shao Kahn rose to power in the Outworld, usurping the realm from Kitana's parents and taking Queen Sindel for his bride. Now, centuries later, Sindel is reborn, and her rebirth is the means by which Kahn will finally seize the planet forever unless...

Itinerant Thief. Kano is thought to have been killed in the first Tournament, but is found alive in the Outworld where he escapes Sonya and convinces Shao Kahn to spare his soul to teach his Warriors how to use Earth's weapons.

Nomadic Warrior. As a Chosen Warrior, his identity is a mystery to all, believed to be the survivor of an attack by Shao Kahn's extermination squads, left viciously scarred and kept alive by artificial respirators and a rage for ending Shao Kahn's conquest.

How to Play

GETTING STARTED

1. Make sure the POWER switch is in the OFF position.

2. Insert the Nintendo GAME BOY® Game Pak into the slot on the back of the Game Boy® system, label facing AWAY from play side.

3. Slide the POWER switch to the right to turn the power ON. The game will cycle through an opening sequence giving the storyline, etc. You may bypass at any time after the appearance of the Mortal Kombat®3 Title Screen by pressing START.

4. Press START on the Main Screen and the game will begin.

START GAME MODE

If you select START GAME you will go to the “Select Your Fighter" Screen which has pictures of all the Warriors available.

Use the Control Pad to move onto the Fighter of your choice. Press Any Button to select him/her and begin the Fight at the location shown at the bottom of the screen.

FIGHTING SUMMARY

The Tournament first tests a Warrior's fighting skill by pitting him against the other Tournament Challengers. In all Mortal Kombat battles, meters in the upper part of the screen measure the health of each Warrior.

The meters begin each round showing the Warrior's full health, but are reduced with each blow taken. The amount of the reduction depends both on the type of hit and whether or not it was blocked.

When a Warrior's Health Meter runs out, he is knocked out and the round goes to the opponent. Should time run out before either Kombatant is knocked out, the Warrior with fewer injuries is declared the victor.

BASIC MOVES

The best way to begin your training is with the fundamental moves: Kicks, Punches, Crouches, Jumps and Blocks. These moves may seem trivial compared to powerful and acrobatic moves like the Flying Kick, but knowing how to stop, avoid or counteract a Flying Kick can be far more useful than knowing how to land one yourself.

The RUN (A+B) feature is especially powerful. No longer can a foe hide by backing off. Hold the A+B Buttons while pressing towards your opponent on the Control Pad to rush your prey. Combined, these fundamentals are the foundation for both a strong defense and a potent offense!

SECRET CODES

After the VS BATTLE Screen you will see the CODE SCREEN with a row of six boxes with different Dragon Icons in them. You can change the symbols in the boxes by pressing your Control Pad L/R to highlight the boxes and Control Pad U/D to change symbols. The six symbols represent secret codes which can have subtle or dramatic effects on game play.

UP / DOWN TO SWITCH ICONS

Pressing Control Pad UP once will change the Dragon Icon in the first box into a “MK” symbol. Pressing it a second time will change it to the third Icon in the sequence (a Yin/Yang) and so on. Pressing a button more than nine times will cause the order of the Icons to start over.

Pressing Control Pad Up when the box is showing a Skull Symbol will change the skull back to the original Dragon Icon.

EXAMPLE CODE

Skull, Shao Kahn, Rayden, MK, Yin/Yang, 3.

To enter this code, press Control Pad R to highlight each box in turn. After highlighting, then press Control Pad U nine times for box #1, eight times for box #2, seven for #3, once for #4, twice for #5 and three time for #6. The Code Screen doesn't stay up for long, so you need to punch in the codes quickly.

Tips & Maps

Throw

An additional move used in close-in Kombat situations. To throw your opponent, get close to him and hold the B Button.

Crouching Move

Defensively, this move allows one to avoid punches and aerial weapons, to escape from close proximity and to avoid being thrown.

Uppercut

Executed from the Crouch, this is one of the most powerful offensive weapons in a Warrior's arsenal. To do the Uppercut Move, hold the Control Pad DOWN and simultaneously push the B Button.

Spin Moves

The spin is the key to such exotic moves as the Roundhouse Kick and the Foot Sweep. To execute the Spin Moves, hold the Control Pad AWAY from or TOWARD your opponent while you press the A Button.

Foot Sweep

This move hits your opponent's ankles and knocks him onto his back. To execute, hold Control Pad AWAY from opponent + A Button.

Roundhouse

This is a Spinning Kick which strikes your opponent in the face. To execute, hold Control Pad TOWARD opponent + A Button.

Aerial Moves

These include Flying Punches and Kicks. To execute, first jump either in place or towards your opponent, then press the attack buttons while in the air.

Special Moves

These moves, whether special kicks or elemental bolts, raise Mortal Kombat Warriors above their peers and make them the fiercest Kombatants on Earth.

Throw Disable Feature

This feature can be activated by a code, which some players find easier to memorize by referring to the number of button presses.
