INTRODUCTION
This Trilogy of events comprises the Dark Emperor Shao Khan’s final
attempt at taking control of the Earth:
For nine generations, the Mortal Kombat tournament was ruled by the
Outworld’s finest Warrior, Prince Goro. It was agreed that if the
Outworld could claim victory in 10 consecutive tournaments, it would
then rule the Earth. With the Earth on the brink of destruction, a new
generation of Warriors gathered and claimed victory.
With victory in hand, Warrior Monk, Liu Kang, had now become the
new Mortal Kombat champion. But his victory was short lived. He and
his colleagues were lured to the Outworld to compete in a second
tournament.
But Liu Kang and his comrades discovered an evil deception. The
Tournament was merely a diversion devised by the Dark Emperor, Shao
Khan, to break the rules set forth by the Elder Gods. The Dark Emperor
would witness the reincarnation of his former Queen, Sindel. This
unholy act gave Shao Khan the power to step through the dimensional
gates to reclaim his Queen and seize control of Earth. The final attempt
is at hand....

THE TOURNAMENT
Each Warrior begins each round with 100% health, as reflected by the
meters at the top of the sreen. Health diminishes with each blow taken.
The amount that Health is reduced depends on the type of hit delivered
and whether or not it was blocked. When a Warrior’s Health Meter runs
out, he/she is knocked out, and the round goes to the opponent.
If the time is up before either Kombatant is knocked out, the Warrior with
fewer injuries is declared the victor. The first Warrior to win two rounds
takes the match and moves on to the next opponent.
AGGRESSOR MODE
At the lower part of the screen, an
Aggressor Meter will build up as you land
more and more hits on your opponent.
Keep an eye on the meter. It grows faster if
your opponent blocks attacks. When the
meter is full and reads “AGGRESSOR,” you’ll
be much stronger and will inflict heavier
damage on your opponent.

In addition to the basic moves (punches and kicks), all of the Mortal
Kombat Warriors possess expert special moves. To become a superior
Warrior, skilled enough to win the title of Grand Champion, you, too,
must learn them. Experiment with various D-Pad and button
combinations to find these Special Moves.
Additionally, you may “chain” certain attacks together to create
“combos.” These are several attacks that occur very quickly. They can be
quite devastating against an opponent. Try experimenting with different
button presses to create different “combos.”
