The ''Franchise/MortalKombat'' series was at the peak of its popularity in [[TheNineties the mid-90s]]. In 1995, the long-awaited ''Mortal Kombat 3'' premiered in arcades before being ported to the [[UsefulNotes/SuperNintendoEntertainmentSystem SNES]], UsefulNotes/SegaGenesis, UsefulNotes/GameBoy, UsefulNotes/GameGear, UsefulNotes/Nintendo64, UsefulNotes/PlayStation, UsefulNotes/SegaSaturn, and PC. Roughly half of the second game's cast returned, along with the {{secret character}}s. Several new characters were introduced including the cybernetic ninjas Cyrax and Sektor, the maimed warrior Kabal, the female Shokan Sheeva (a DistaffCounterpart to Goro), BadassNative Nightwolf, off-duty cop Kurtis Stryker, evil robo-[[OurCentaursAreDifferent centaur]] Motaro, and Kitana's resurrected mother Sindel.

Added DiffLines:

* AntiFrustrationFeatures: The disc based versions of Mortal Kombat Trilogy, possibly in anticipation of player frustration, included a wide selection of setting and options to help reduce the LoadsAndLoadsOfLoading including shutting off certain graphical flourishes in the Selection screens, restricting Shang Tsung to two morph options so that the game doesn't need to pause and load, disabling Versus screens so that the game can load directly into fights from Character Select, removing Buy-In screens so that the game can go straight back to Character Select without P2 having to re-join and a Match Recycle option that causes the game to simply replay the current match settings for a certain number of cycles before a Game Over, which can also come in handy for long gaming sessions and tournament settings.

* BarredFromTheAfterlife: This is how Johnny Cage is back among the living in ''Trilogy'', due to Shao Kahn's invasion destabilizing the connection between the realms of the living and the afterlife; thus ironically, the same event that led to his death is what's preventing his spirit from passing on.

Also occurs during Sindel's backstory when she 86ed herself in attempt to escape eternal subservience to the warlord who slaughtered her husband. [[Main/YourSoulIsMine It didn't work.]] Shao-Kahn basically held her soul hostage in Outworld, blocking her transition to the Hereafter.
