            Glitches

      Cyrax Fatality Glitch: Beat your opponent using Cyrax and get a
"Flawless Victory" Throw a Bomb at your opponent and IMMEDIATELY do your Fatality.
You with shred them, but the game keeps going on. You can then jump around, and
practice your moves as long as you don't hit your opponent's shreds. You can also
end it by doing a Babality that counts as a Fatality!

      Walk On The Bottom Of The Screen: When playing as Sektor or Smoke, if your
opponent throws a projectile at you, quickly do your Teleport Uppercut. If you
connect with the projectile when you are touching the bottom of the screen, you
will be knocked out of it and will be walking on the bottom of the screen! Just
jump to come back up to the stage.

      Fatality Shao Kahn!: Use a GameShark to play as Shao Khan. Next, you might
want to disable the throws to make it easier. (If you don't and you get thrown,
the game crashes) Now just lose to an opponent and if you are lucky, they will do
their fatality on you!! Look out though, sometimes it doesn't work and the game
freezes.


=============================================================================
=========-  VII.  Ending Spoilers  -=========================================
=============================================================================

            Kano:
      When Kahn let Kano live, it was a grave error. Kano destroys his army using
a stolen weapon and finally defeats Kahn himself. His real aim was to take over
the souls captured by Kahn, but he is unable to control them and suffers a violent
death.

            Sonya:
      Sonya defeats her arch-enemy Kano and then faces Shao Kahn himself. After
an incredible display of courage, Sonya wins. When the world returns to normal,
she helps form the Outworld Investigation Agency devoted to protecting the earth
from future invasions.

            Sektor:
      After terminating Sub-Zero, Sector is attacked by outworld warriors.  They
are no match for Sektor, who fights his way into the fortress. The portal is closed
when Sektor initiates his self-destruct sequence. The Earth returns to normal.

            Sindel:
      Sindel remembers her past and turns upon Shao Kahn. Kahn had used Sindel as
a pawn.  In defeating Kahn, Sindel frees both the Earth and her realm Edenia. Thus
now insuring a reunion with her daughter Kitana.

            Sub-Zero:
      In vicious battle Sub-Zero faces Cyrax and Sektor. He finds his third assassin
is the elusive Smoke, an old ally before his automation. With the help of Smoke
he defeats Kahn, and once again disappears into the shadows.

            Sheeva:
      While Sheeva serves her master, her race of Shokan are being defeated in war
with the help of Kahn. She learns the truth, and in a rage brings down Shao Kahn.
In freeing the Earth, she also frees the outworld. Sheeva returns home.

            Cyrax:
      Cyrax is captured by Sub-Zero and given new orders: destroy Shao Kahn. Kahn
is unable to detect the soulless assassin, so Cyrax is successful with a sneak attack.
But after saving the Earth, he awaits new orders... They never arrive

            Kabal:
      After returning from near death, Kabal swears revenge. When he defeats the
mighty Shao Kahn he proves he is truly the chosen one. Before Kabal lived a life
of crime. Now he devotes himself to fighting injustice.

            Smoke:
      Smoke had been captured and turned into a cyborg with a mission to kill his
old ally Sub-Zero. But Smoke learns he still has a soul and recalls his true mission.
He defeats Shao Kahn and saves the world, but is trapped in his synthetic body.

            Shao Kahn:
      If you beat the game with Shao Kahn, you see Kabals ending, but with no words.

=========-  VIII. Explanations  -============================================
=============================================================================

            Friendships and Mercies

The following were in the Hex codes:

 "DRAW.. WINS.. WINS.GAME OVER.FLAWLESS VICTORY.FATALITY.OUT OF TIME.
FINISH HIM.FINISH HER.FRIENDSHIP.BABALITY.MERCY."

So, what ever happened to the Friendships and Mercys ?!?! Unless you use a cheating
device like a GameShark, you'll never find out.

Mercies: On GameGenie enter:  124-C2A-E6E DCA-C5E-456 A7E-6DD-C4B. Every time you
throw a projectile (fireball, or iceball, or whatever), it starts the round over
again, but everyone has the same amount of life left. You have to do this at least
2 times each round. You have to play for 3 rounds (but sometimes only once) and
not press Block. When it says finish Him/Her throw another projectile and hit your
opponent twice more to kill them. If you did it correctly it should say " *Fighters
name* won", "Mercy" Then your opponent comes back to life. (This doesn't work on
Sonya.)

Friendship: One time I was fooling around with my GameGenie and found the code to
activate friendships.  But I accidentally took out the cartridge! All it did was
say friendship when I won. I think they took out the animations, or didn't do them
at all.


            Fighters Lost in the GameBoy version

Jax, Kung Lao, Kurtis Stryker, Liu Kang, Nightwolf, Shang Tsung,
Motaro, and Noob Saibot.


            Fighters that were modified

Kano: Doesn't have Grab and Shake
Sindel: Doesn't have Air Fireballs anymore   probably does though since she can
do her Float...
Sub-Zero: Doesn't have Close or Far Ice Showers and Ice Clone
Kabal: Can't shoot Fireball in air
Smoke: Doesn't have Spear anymore   (no info about Air Throw)
Shao Kahn: Doesn't have Shoulder Charge, only the Nee Charge, got Motaro's Lift
and Smack, and is NOT playable in the GameBoy version unless you use a GameShark
or maybe GameGenie.

(I found out that Smoke doesn't have his Spear and that Shao Kahn is not playable
by asking the company in a letter, but I wouldn't trust everything they say. You
can call the company at: (903) 874-5092. Every other move not confirmed is probably
not in there but theres still hope.  Things like Cyrax's Teleport have been confirmed
by seeing the game perform it, but then, the game never does Sindels Float, but
it's still in there.) Mortal Kombat 3 for GameBoy also probably does not have any
sort of stage Fatality like MKII. It also doesn't have Mercies, Friendships, or
Animalities unless you find the mercy or friendship codes with GameGenie or
GameShark.  I've been told that sometimes the fighters come back to life...  mercy??
               Only buy MKII; 1  3 and 4 suck HARD!

=========-  IX.  Revision History  -=========================================
=============================================================================

version 1.0: July 18,2001 - This FAQ was created back in '96 and has gone through
some pretty radical changes. Since this is a new format, I feel this should be called
version 1.0. E-mail me if I should include strategies for version 1.1
PaulKortne@yahoo.com

=============================================================================
=========-  X.  Credits  -===================================================
=============================================================================

Paul Courtney (me): I found nearly everything in this FAQ. That includes the Cyrax
glitch, the code for Mercys, the Friendship thing, Shao Kahn's moves, the GameShark
mimic code and more!! I tried to include everything I knew and could find. I also
know a lot about emulation, that sort of helps to find secrets. The title art is
also by me.

John Evens Jr.: I borrowed a little of the layout from his FAQ. He said that was
cool with him. He has a lot of good FAQs for fighting games. You should check them
out.

The Internet: for roms, emulators, and hex editors. I love technology!

better programmers...  way better programmers
Nintendo: made the GaymBoy and owns legal rights to it.
