''Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance'' is the fifth fighting game installment in the ''Franchise/MortalKombat'' franchise. Notable for being the first game in the series to skip the arcades (getting a straight-to-console release instead) and for [[StoppedNumberingSequels dropping the numerals from the titles]] (although the logo does resemble a Roman numeral "V"). It was released for the [[UsefulNotes/NintendoGameCube GameCube]], UsefulNotes/PlayStation2, and UsefulNotes/{{Xbox}} in 2002.

[[spoiler:He loses.]]

Scorpion's ending in ''VideoGame/MortalKombat4'' shows Quan Chi being imprisoned in the Netherrealm -- but he escapes this fate, and in the process, he discovers an ancient tomb with the mummified remains of Onaga the Dragon King, the first emperor of Outworld (and the dragon portrayed in the franchise's logo). Quan Chi figures out how to resurrect Onaga's dark army -- the souls of various warriors must be implanted into the army's dead bodies -- and he strikes a deal with Shang Tsung to gain immortality in exchange for Tsung's help. The [[TitleDrop deadly alliance]] has two major problems in its path -- Shao Kahn and Liu Kang -- but they are taken care of in short order: [[BackStab Kahn is killed while the duo swears a false allegiance to him]], and [[OurHeroIsDead Liu Kang is killed]] when Tsung disguises himself as Kung Lao and approaches a none-the-wiser Kang. After consuming their souls, Tsung and Quan Chi return to Outworld and begin their plans to resurrect Onaga and his fallen army -- which is when Raiden gathers together Earthrealm's strongest warriors to stop them.

Two versions of this game were released for the UsefulNotes/GameBoyAdvance. Shang Tsung, Quan Chi, and Scorpion feature in both versions. The first, which is named the same as this game, also features Frost, Jax, Sub-Zero, Kano, Kung Lao, Kenshi, Kitana, Li Mei, and Sonya. The second, ''Mortal Kombat: Tournament Edition'', featured Bo 'Rai Cho, Cyrax, Drahmin, Hsu Hao, Johnny Cage, Mavado, Nitara, Raiden, and Reptile, plus the exclusive characters [[AIIsACrapshoot Sektor]], [[TheDragon Noob Saibot]], and [[TheAtoner Sareena]] (making ''TE'' the only ''Mortal Kombat'' game aside from ''Special Forces'' to not feature Sub-Zero as a playable character).

Followed by '''VideoGame/MortalKombatDeception'''.

** Moloch and Drahmin. After Scorpion makes a truce with the younger Sub-Zero and drags Quan Chi back to the Netherrealm (as seen in ''4''), he starts chasing the wizard throughout the lands, beating the white off of his ass as repayment for killing his family (this is shown in ''Deception''[='s=] Konquest mode). The two onis stop Scorpion, allowing Quan Chi to flee and discover Onaga's tomb. ''They are indirectly responsible for jumpstarting a WhamEpisode that has continued [[VideoGame/MortalKombat9 to the present day]] and [[VideoGame/MortalKombatX into the future]].''

* JigglePhysics: Ayup. Mostly played straight, although there ''is'' the case of [[FanDisservice Bo' Rai Cho's gut]]...
** Though some cursory examination shows that it is Jiggle Physics done ''wrong'', as the 3D artists animated malleable flesh the same way cloth would be animated. This is very noticeable when you jump around with a female character: boobs are not supposed to shake ''that'' way!

Although still suffering from PolygonCeiling problems, ''Deadly Alliance'' was praised as the ''Mortal Kombat'' game which resurrected the franchise as a whole after the failures of ''Mortal Kombat Gold'' and ''VideoGame/MortalKombatSpecialForces''. It was the first game to include a StanceSystem -- which allowed fighters to switch between two separate fighting stances and a weapon-based stance -- and it also dropped the Running/the Run meter.

With the exception of Shao Kahn and Liu Kang, ''Deadly Alliance'' features all of the characters mentioned above ([[BigBadDuumvirate Quan Chi, Shang Tsung]], [[TheMentor Raiden]], [[UnstoppableRage Scorpion]], and [[NiceHat Kung Lao]]), as well as [[FakeUltimateHero Johnny Cage]], [[AnIcePerson Sub-Zero]], Sonya Blade, [[PsychoForHire Kano]], [[{{Princess}} Kitana]], [[BecomeARealBoy Cyrax]], [[ColonelBadass Jax]], and Reptile returning. The game also introduces [[OurVampiresAreDifferent Nitara]], [[DrunkenMaster Bo' Rai Cho]], [[EldritchAbomination Drahmin]], [[DistaffCounterpart Frost]], [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder Hsu Hao]], [[DisabilitySuperpower Kenshi]], [[PluckyGirl Li Mei]], [[OurDemonsAreDifferent Moloch]], and [[BadassLongcoat Mavado]], alongside secret characters [[AscendedExtra Blaze]] and [[FishOutOfWater Mokap]] to the franchise.
