Mortal Kombat Trilogy is a fighting game released by Midway in 1996 as the second update to Mortal Kombat II.
Mortal Kombat Trilogy (Nintendo 64)
New additions to the game included the 'Aggressor' bar, and a new finishing move called Brutality, a long combination of attacks that ends with the opponent exploding. The game was met with mixed reviews upon release.
Mortal Kombat Trilogy introduces the Aggressor bar, which fills as the combatants fight (twice as much if the opponent is blocking). Once the bar is filled, it grants the character fast movement and greater attack damage for a short period of time.
Many characters gained additional special moves. Some were simple edits of existing moves (such as Stryker throwing two grenades instead of one), while others were unused animations never implemented in their intended previous games. These special moves included MKII Kung Lao's Air Torpedo, Goro's Spinning Punch move, Raiden's Lightning that shoots from behind the opponent, and Baraka's Blade Spin move. Additionally, Shao Kahn gained a throw and grab-and-punch move, and Motaro gained a proper throw move. Sub-Zero's famous 'Spine Rip' Fatality reappears in the game but is completely censored, as the screen blacks out with only the 'Fatality' text visible. This was due to avoid having to re-animate the fatality for this game.
Trilogy adds the 'Brutality' finishing move, which requires the player to perform an 11-button combo in order to rapidly beat on their opponent until they explode (Brutalities had been previously featured in the Mega Drive/Genesis and SNES ports of UMK3). All of the arenas that featured a Stage Fatality are featured in this game, except for the one in the Pit II, for similar reasons to the 'Spine Rip' Fatality.
All of the battle arenas that were featured in MK3, respectively.
Along with the Ultimate MKII Raiden and Baraka, these versions of the characters did not get proper running animations and just feature a sped-up version of their walk animation when they try to run.
Two new secret characters appear as well, depending on the version of the game. Most versions have Chameleon, a semi-transparent ninja who rapidly switches between all the other male ninjas (Classic Sub-Zero, Scorpion, Noob Saibot, Human Smoke, Rain, Reptile, and Ermac) during combat, portrayed by John Turk (who also portrayed unmasked Sub-Zero and Shang Tsung). This character is playable by performing a special button combination. The Nintendo 64 version replaced him with a female character named Khameleon, who switches between the female ninjas instead (Kitana, Mileena, and Jade), portrayed by Becky Gable.
The developers intended to include Tremor (a ninja with a brown suit and earthquake powers, portrayed by John Turk) in the game. However, this character was scrapped, and appeared later in Mortal Kombat: Special Forces.
