A highlight of Mortal Kombat 3 (GB) gbc is its infamous Fatalities.

Each character has their own strengths and weaknesses, requiring players to learn and practice to maximize their potential. The game also features various arenas, each with distinct backgrounds and sometimes minor interactive elements. The primary game mode is Arcade, where you battle through a series of AI-controlled opponents before facing powerful bosses like Motaro and Shao Kahn. Additionally, the game might support versus play via a link cable, offering true head-to-head competition.

Despite being a portable version with graphical and sound limitations compared to its arcade counterpart, Mortal Kombat 3 (GB) gbc remains a highly playable fighting game on the Game Boy Color, preserving the violent and dramatic essence that made Mortal Kombat a household name.
