[edit] Bios

Please, delete all that. It is not necessary for the article, and it is redundant as every character has an article. -- ReyBrujo 22:36, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

• What the... this is getting ridiculous. All of the Bios and Endings for any title should be moved into Discussion or removed completely, they're too intrusive in articles. Goroliath

I'm thinking about removing the entire biography section. All that information is available in specific character articles, where it makes more sense then an article dedicated to the whole game. What do you think ? I don't want to go ahead and do it if theres opposition to the idea... best we talk it out before that? 207.172.52.41 Carmen

[edit] Message from Wikipedia:FR

Hello All ! (it's just a little message from another wikipedia project, so you can delete it fastly ;) )

Great page ! I'm french, MK fanboy and I write all the MK games on Wikipédia:FR by traduction of yours pages, and some external sources.

About Bio of characters, I think too it's inutile (redundant), even if it's sometimes a little different from one game to another. So I haven't integrating into french MK pages ; but here, you do what you want ^^

See you next time

[edit] Game versions

How about a section on the differences between each successive release of MK3 (version 1.2, 2.0, etc)? --- SHODAN 03:08, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Article setup

First of all, I agree with everyone else, the character biographies are FAR too redundent as each of these guys and gals have thier own page. Furthermore, will someone please INCLUDE SOMETHING ABOUT THE DAMN GAME ITSELF. Its VERY disturbing that theres tons of information on the storyline, without so much as MENTIONING the gameplay, art style, etc... all of which are MUCH different from Mortal Kombat and MK II, therefore deserving mention. 207.172.52.41 Carmen

Well, be bold and say it yourself. EVula 14:54, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

I'd love to man, but I honestly haven't played the game very much. Therefore I don't think I'm qualified to talk about the game system... but I'm sure there are people that are. Seriously though, 90% of the article seems to be dedicated to (repeat) character information, which is already available on other individual entries. Surely that is a bit weird?

I will add in about the art style though, since it is the part of the game I remember well.

Well the bulleted mess that is this and a few other MK articles is partially my fault. It really does do an article so much more justice if paragraphs are used instead. I think the "New To The Series" section would benefit if we took all the info from it and made it into several paragraphs and re-labeled it "Gameplay" or whatever other sections we could make out of the already existing info within it. Buzda 23:39, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

I didn't fix the bullets, but I did restructure the article. Based on the structure of the MK2 article.--Iamstillhiro1112 00:21, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Did Liu Kang REALLY win MKII?

Nowhere can I find info that he was the winner. Buzda 03:28, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Criticisms

While this section is considerably weak at the moment, I think it has alot of potential. Buzda 05:14, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

That criticism written sounds a bit too opinionated Tragickingdom 05:08, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Space Game

There was a Galaga-like space shooter unlockable with a secret code. Did it have a name? Was it only on the snes version? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.202.40.210 (talk • contribs).

The message that appears when you start the minigame is "You Are Entering The Land of Rellim ", so "Land of Rellim" is basically the only name we know it by. "Rellim" might be a word something scambled, but I don't recall offhand. This appeared in every version of the game, as far as I know. MarphyBlack 01:23, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

It's called "Rellim Ohcanep" in some versions. Doing a little research, I found that Kent Miller and Mark Penacho are listed in MK3's credits. RobWill80 03:13, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
