Mortal Kombat Trilogy is a 1996 fighting game for the Nintendo 64 that serves as a massive compilation of the franchise’s 2D era. Gathering characters, arenas, and fatalities from the original game through Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, it features one of the largest rosters in the classic series. The N64 version notably includes the exclusive hidden character Khameleon and introduces the “Aggressor” bar, which increases speed and damage when filled during combat.
How to Play
The objective is to defeat your opponent in 1v1 combat by draining their health bar using a combination of normal attacks, special moves, and combos, culminating in a signature Fatality when prompted to “Finish Him/Her!”. The N64 controls map movement to the D-pad or joystick. Attacks generally utilize the A and B buttons for kicks, while the C-buttons handle punches, Block, and Run. You can execute high-damage combos by pressing specific attack sequences rapidly.
Tips
- Use the Run button: The run mechanic is essential for keeping pressure on your opponent and extending combos. Use it alongside the dedicated block button to control the pace of the fight.
- Master the Aggressor meter: Once your Aggressor bar at the bottom of the screen is full, your character will hit harder and move faster. Use this temporary boost to overwhelm your opponent.
- Find Khameleon: In this specific N64 version, you can face the exclusive character Khameleon by pressing Down + Start when a match begins on the Star Bridge stage.
