Line 37:
* [[Lighter and Softer]]: Friendships and Babalities again.
* [[La Résistance]]: Liu Kang, Sub-Zero, Sonya, Nightwolf, Kabal, Jax, Kung Lao, and later {{spoiler|Kitana}} and possibly {{spoiler|Jade.}}
* [[The Other Darrin]]: None of the actors from the previous two games returned except for Richard Divizio (Kano and Baraka), John Parrish (Jax), Tony Marquez (Kung Lao) and Brian Glynn (Shao Kahn). This led to half of the returning characters being played by new actors (Kerri Hoskins, Eddie Wong, John Turk) and is partly the reason why none of the masked ninjas were in the original ''MK3'' (since they were originally played by Dan Pesina).
** John Turk, who played the unmasked Sub-Zero and Shang Tsung, eventually got to play all the masked ninjas in ''Ultimate'' alongside Becky Gable, who replaced Katalin Zamiar as Kitana and the other female ninjas.
** Johnny Cage was the final character whose actor was replaced. Rumor has it that Midway was going to leave out Cage in ''Mortal Kombat Trilogy'' due to [[Creator Backlash]] over Dan Pesina posing in character as Cage in an ad for ''BloodStorm''. Apparently they realized they were one character short from having the entire roster, so Chris Alexander was brought in to replace Dan Pesina.
* [[The Power of Friendship]]: Lampshaded. In response to parents complaining about the grotesque violence of the Fatality finishing moves, the second and third installments added a finishing move called [[Defeat Means Friendship|Friendship]], which would allow you to win the match without killing the opponent, along with showing an animation of your character doing something sickeningly friendly. Although one has to consider that Scorpion, Classic Sub-Zero, Reptile's and Ermac's ''UMK3'' Friendships weren't very nice, since the opponent runs off scared by the jack-in-the-box and in Ermac's case, [[Baleful Polymorph|turns the poor guy into a bunny wabbit]].
