Back in the day when this came out, not everyone had a 64 yet, I know i didn't, and whenMortal Kombat Trilogy came out, SNES owners needed there own treat. Ultimate mortal kombat 3 really was the Ultimate fighting game of it's time. the sheer number of characters made the gamepl;ay more fun tyhan any previous MK title. The difficulty was up there with the arcade but a slew of codes and special modes opened the game up wide for anyone. The multi-player function was way beyond MK3 which looks like MK2 by comparison. The only thing i really missed in this game was Shiva, though she does show up as a secret character without a sprite (invisible). The bringing back of so many old characters which used similar sprites to each other to really pump the number of fighters was brilliant. The moves and coulours and character bios set them all apart quite sufficiently even though the robots looked identicle, as did the ninjas, but it really did add to the gameplay. Some of the characters introduced in this game are among my favourites and still apear in Mortal kombat games. After this game and MK Trilogy MK went adventure/action, and then 3-D with MK4 and up. UMK3 really was the pinicle of MK 2-D games. Trilogy was just a bonusRead full review
The ultimate fighting game. Classic characters, classic gameplay, and classic combos. You can't go wrong with Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3. It has the most of characters out of any Mortal Kombat title for the Super Nintendo, feature fighters that weren't available in the original Mortal Kombat 3 release, such as Noob Saibot, Ermac, Mileena, and Rain.
Some of the good things about this game include the very useful "run" or "sprint" ability, which lets you charge your opponent, combos which you pretty much have to figure out by button-mashing, multi-layered levels which you can uppercut through to the higher level, an enormous cast of characters, including several hidden characters, and a wide variety of skill levels and combat paths for single player. However, the game is incredibly hard to master if you've never played any Mortal Kombat games before, especially regular Mortal Kombat 3. This game will take days, even weeks of practice and frustrating defeats to be able to cruise through the game easily to defeat the final boss [Shao Kahn, mini-bossed by Motaro]. This game is a must-have for collectors and Mortal Kombat fans, but I wouldn't recommend it for children and people with self esteem issues.Read full review
It's better than regular MK3 because there are more characters. It's also the source of inspiration for MK Armageddon and MK9, which are the best modern versions.

This is the ULTIMATE figting game. UMK3 delivered. Better graphics, new characters and so much more. The Mercy, Animality, Brutality, Babality, and of course, Fatality are all here. You can now combo moves to each other doing massive damage. The Fatalaties look so much better then MKII as well. Sheeva, Cyrax, (playable) Smoke and Jade, Sektor, Kabal, and Ermac are some newcomers to the series and live up to their performance well. Be aware this game is more diffecult (even on Novice) then the original MK3. Especially the Endurance Matches and Motaro. You should get this game on Xbox Live Arcade if you don't have an SNES or are out of quarters.
