Mortal Kombat 3: Difference between revisions

* [[Alien Blood]]: Sheeva (and Reptile, in ''Ultimate'') bleeds green blood, while the Lin Kuei cyborgs bleed oil. Averted with Khameleon and Chameleon, although ''Armageddon'' later retconned both to have green blood a well.

* [[An Axe to Grind]]: All of the [[Palette Swap]] male ninjas use an axe in some of their combos.

* [[The Chooser of the One]]: Raiden.

* [[Composite Character]]: Due to memory limitations, the N64 version of ''Trilogy'' only features one Sub-Zero -- the masked "Classic" version with his moves, fatalities and ending, but who can also use Unmasked Sub-Zero's Ice Shower and Ice Clone moves.

* [[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]].

* [[This Loser Is You|You Suck]]: Shao Kahn's taunt [[Breaking the Fourth Wall|to the player]]. The iPhone version made this an achievement for losing to him 3 times in a row, as well as one called [[No U|"No, You Suck!"]] for beating him.
