Mortal Kombat 3 – Extra 60 is an unlicensed bootleg fighting game for the NES, developed by Super Game. Despite the title, this pirate release is primarily built upon an unofficial adaptation of Mortal Kombat II rather than the third installment. The “Extra 60” moniker refers to a heavily altered character select screen that gives the illusion of a massive roster, though it relies entirely on clones and palette swaps of a small group of core fighters. It stands as a fascinating curiosity of the 8-bit bootleg era, blending Mortal Kombat 3 portraits and stage graphics with repurposed gameplay mechanics.
How to Play
Select your fighter from the expansive (though repetitive) roster and face off in classic one-on-one combat. Using standard NES browser controls, use the Arrow Keys to move and jump, and use Z and X for your primary attacks. Press Enter to start the game and pause during matches.
Tips
- Test the Clones: Since the 60-character roster is made up of palette swaps, experiment with different portraits to figure out which characters map to the core movesets you prefer.
- Abuse the AI: Like many bootleg fighting games, the opponent AI can be manipulated. Jump kicks and sweeping attacks are often highly effective and less likely to be blocked by the computer.
