The game includes 19 playable starting characters, two unplayable bosses, four playable secret characters, and one unplayable secret opponent.
There are four attack buttons (High Punch, High Kick, Low Punch, and Low Kick) and dedicated Block and Run buttons. Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 is built off of Mortal Kombat 3 and retains most of its gameplay mechanics. Regardless, the game's story is no different from Mortal Kombat 3 (involving Outworld emperor Shao Kahn's invasion of Earthrealm).

In order to free up space on the game's memory, the screens detailing the game's story, as well as all of the biographies and picture endings for the original characters, have been removed.
A special version of Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 was later released for consoles (known as Mortal Kombat Trilogy). It is regarded as the most competitive game in the Mortal Kombat franchise (prior to its 2011 reboot).

It is a direct update to Mortal Kombat 3, adding new characters (all of which are the return of masked ninjas), arenas, special moves, and game modes (including an 8-player tournament mode and 2-on-2 team matches), while tweaking gameplay mechanics and character balancing. Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 is a 2D fighting game developed and released by Midway on November 1995 for arcades.
