UMK3 GENESIS FAQ By Sub-Zero(sub.zero@mailexcite.com) Notable Differences From Arcade Version and Other Info ------------------------------------------------------ * Rain and Noob Saibot are playable and on the select screen. They appear to be just like their Trilogy counterparts.(No fatalities or friendships though). * Sheeva was removed from the game.(But her sound effects are still in the Sound Test Menu). * Brutalities are in!! * The graphics/gameplay/sound effects are pretty much ventage MK3.Not a whole lot of detail has been added in this upgrade,with the exception of the UMK3 features/characters/backgrounds. * Animalities have been removed. * Shao Kahn's treasure chest has only 10 boxes instead of 12. * Most of Shao Kahn's voices are gone.You still get "Round 1" and stuff but no spoken character names. * No UMK3 music,only MK3 music(in fact even though the Street stage isn't in the game it's music is in the Sound Test option in the CHEATS menu). * Scorpion's hellraiser is different..it just takes the opponent back into the hell stage where they just catch on fire and explode. * Kitana's kiss of death only inflates heads..same effect as Kabal's air pump fatality. * Sonya's friendship is her MK3 one not her UMK3 one. * Air juggle combos are easier to do than in the Genesis MK3 version.In fact they fixed a lot of stuff that was wrong in MK3. * Stages: The Subway, The Bank, The Rooftop, Soul Chamber, Kombat Temple, The Pit 3,The Lost World, Jade's desert, Kahns Kave, Scorpion's Lair, River Kombat. * Uppercutting in the Subway and Soul Chamber does not take you to level above as there is none. * Everyone, except Human Smoke, has an intro bio. * Everone has an ending bio. * There seem to be plenty of glitches in there, which makes this game that much better:) =============================================================================== ================ CODES AND SECRETS =============================================================================== ================ CHEAT MENUS: At the Menu Screen Enter B-A-D-L-A-D-C-R-U-D to enable all 3 Genesis MK3 cheat menus.C-R-A-L-A-U-C-R-A-L-A-U and A-C-U-B-U-B-A-D also work. I can do this everytime now. Here's what you have to do: 1. Use controller one (the left one), it will not work on controller two. 2. Enter code(you must enter the code right after the screen loads up or it won't work.If you screw up go into the OPTIONS menu then exit.This resets the screen so the code will work again. It has been said that you must start the code on OPTIONS, but I've gotten it to work starting on START so this isn't true. CHEATS (Menu options): ---------------------- SOUND TEST MORE KREDITS (up to 95) BIOSCREEN (character intro bio screen) SECRETS (Menu options): ----------------------- TIMER Off/Slow/Normal/Fast WIN SCREEN (Lets you see character's win bio screen) KOMBAT ZONE (Level Select) KILLER CODES (Menu options): ---------------------------- QUICK END (See Quick End section for more details) SHAO KAHN (Enabled or Disabled) [Disabled if Motoro is Enabled] MOTARO (Enabled or Disabled) [Disabled if Shao Khan is Enabled] PLAY HIDDEN GAME (Galaga) QUICK END SECTION: Classic Subzero Fat.1(close):HP Cyrax Fat.1(close):RN Fat.2(anywhere):HP Babality:HP Friendship:U Ermac Fat.1(sweep):BL Fat.2(close):HK Human Smoke Fat.2(close):HK Babality:HP Jade Fat.1(close):HP Fat.2(close):RN Babality:HK Friendship:HK Jax Fat.1(close):Hold BL Fat.2(far):LK Babality:LK Friendship:LK Kabal Fat.1(outside sweep):BL Fat.2(close):HK Babality:LK Friendship(anywhere but closer than sweep):U Kano Fat.1(sweep):HK Fat.2(close):Hold LP Babality:LK Friendship:HK Kitana Fat.1(close):HK Fat.2(close):LK Babality:HK Friendship:LP Kung Lao Fat.1(anywhere):D Fat.2(inside sweep,but not up close):HP Babality:HP Friendship(over sweep):LK Liu Kang Fat.1(anywhere):LK Fat.2(anywhere):BL+RN Babality:HK Friendship:D+RN Mileena Fat.1(far):LK Fat.2(close):LP Babality:HP Friendship:HP Nightwolf Fat.1(close):BL Fat.2(far):HP Babality:LP Friendship(anywhere outside sweep):D Noob Saibot Babality:LP Rain Babality:HP Reptile Fat.1(jump distance):BL Fat.2(sweep):HK Babality:LK Friendship(close):HK Scorpion Fat.1(close):RN Fat.2(jump distance):HK Babality:HP Friendship(close):LK Sektor Fat.1(sweep):BL Fat.2(over half screen):BL Babality:HK Friendship(half screen):D Shang Tsung Fat.1(close):Hold LP Fat.2(close):Hold LP Babality:LK Friendship:D Sindel Fat.1(close):RN+BL Fat.2(sweep):BL Babality:U Friendship:U Smoke Fat.1(across screen):D Fat.2(sweep):Hold RN+BL Babality:HK Friendship(across screen):HK Sonya Fat.1(anywhere):RN Fat.2(more than half screen):Hold BL+RN+D Babality:LK Friendship:D+RN Stryker Fat.1(a tiny bit closer than full screen):LK Fat.2(close):BL Babality:HP Friendship:LP Sub-Zero Fat.1(outside of sweep):RN Fat.2(close):RN Babality:HK Friendship:U Even though The Animality option is present it doesn't work. Secret Stage ------------ First,you need to beat the game with any character. Then when the green lightning is coming out of Shao Khan's tower press start on controller 2. You'll be transported to a secret level where you fight in the air. Hurt me harder -------------- Plug in a 2nd controller,but play a 1-player game.When you lose, hold down on both controllers and your opponent will always do a Fatality or a Brutality. Advancement ----------- On 1 of the endurance or boss Squares play the game but lose.Right before your opponent kills you,press and hold start on controller 2. At the Mortal Kombat screen,press start on controller 1.When you play you will move above that square.This somtimes works on normal characters but sometimes it doesn't. Play as Goro ------------ To play as Goro,start a game as Kano,then hold A+B+C+X+Y+Z.When you see the toasty guy release these buttons and press Up,Down,Left,Right,Start, Start then Press Mode 5 times. Note:This code requires a 6-button controller Play as Human Smoke: ---------------------- Choose Smoke. When any round is starting, hold HP+HK+BL+RUN. Unlike the arcade, you don't need to use the control pad at all. Shao Kahn's Treasure Chest: ----------------------------- After you beat Shao Kahn, you can choose a symbol. Unlike in the arcade you can pick any symbol after beating the game on any level. 1 MK Dragon : See the character's ending 2 MK Logo : Galaga 3 Yin-Yang : Random Prize 4 Number three : Fatality Demonstration 1 5 Question Mark : Fatality Demonstration 2 6 Lightning Bolt : Fatality Demonstration 3 7 Goro : Noob Sabiot - Ermac Endurance Match 8 Raiden : Classic MK2 Endurance Match (Classic Subzero, Human Smoke) 9 Shao Kahn : Mega Endurance Kombat (Noob, Classic Subzero, Human Smoke, Ermac and Mileena) 10 Skull : Supreme fatality demonstration (Brutalities replace Animalities. Friendship not shown for Reptile and Scorpion) Note - You can reach this treasure chest really easy by playing through the 8 player tournament mode.

You start off by doing a series of button presses like a regular chain combo. You do about 10 of these button presses and the game goes into "fatality mode" and the CPU finishes the brutality automatically .. the hits just get faster and faster until your opponent explodes. (The Computer's favorite finishing move) --------------------------------------- Random Select: Just like MK2. Up-Start at the select screen. The default players have to be selected for this to work.

(For example: Sindel's scream and Stryker's grenades. I like when you do it against Kung Lao, he makes his throw sound.) * When you exit one of the cheat menus the main menu music and the cheat menu music play at the same time :) * Messed up brutalities: I've seen the computer do some really strange things while doing brutalites, including passing through the opponent and appearing on his/her other side. * Weird colors: On the vs. 3 endurance match when the 3rd guy jumps out he usually has the color pallete of the 2nd guy[ever see a green Nightwolf :)]. * Sometimes after you pick Human Smoke, you will change into Regular Smoke in the next round. * In the first winning round,you're opponent is not considered knocked out till all his energy is gone and he hits the ground. So if you can keep your opponent in the air you can keep the game going after your opponent is dead. Also works on endurance rounds with the 1st guy. * Sometimes when you kill the first guy in the endurance round he doesn't register as dying so he hits you then explodes. * In endurance rounds if you finish off the first opponent with a move like Rain's controller or Liu Kang's Bicycle Kick, the guy jumping will be affected by the move even though it doesn't hit him. * Sometimes attacking a jumping in opponent on the endurance round causes the fighters to freeze until the round ends.(I've seen this with Scorpion's Spear and Rain's controller) sub.zero@mailexcite.com Please e-mail me if you have any additions or corrections to my faq.
