Sub-Zero's famous "Spine Rip" Fatality reappears in the game but is completely censored, as the screen blacks out with only the "Fatality" text visible. Additionally, Shao Kahn gained a throw and grab-and-punch move, and Motaro gained a proper throw move. These special moves included MK Kano's Knife Spin move, MKII Kung Lao's Air Torpedo, Goro's Spinning Punch move, Raiden's Lightning that shoots from behind the opponent, and Baraka's Blade Spin move. Some were simple edits of existing moves (such as Stryker throwing two grenades instead of one), while others were unused animations never implemented in their intended previous games. Many characters gained additional special moves. Once the bar is filled, it grants the character fast movement and greater attack damage for a short period of time. Mortal Kombat Trilogy introduces the Aggressor bar, which fills as the combatants fight (twice as much if the opponent is blocking). The game was met with mixed reviews upon release.

Further versions were also released for the and R-Zone.

The only time the CPU ever controls Tsung is during the attract mode.Mortal Kombat Trilogy is a fighting game released by Midway in 1996 as the second update to Mortal Kombat 3 (the first being Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3) for the PlayStation, Nintendo 64, Sega Saturn and PCs.
Shang Tsung never appears anywhere within the "Choose Your Destiny" towers, probably because of the loading delays when morphing in the PlayStation version. In the PlayStation version, there's an option that lets the system load two additional characters into memory when playing as Shang Tsung, eliminating the long loading delays of MK3 and UMK3 when morphing. The spelling mistake in Jade's ending ("Komabt", seen in the arcade version) is corrected. In addition, Shao Kahn has a throw move and a grab and punch move that is exclusive to this game, and Motaro has added an overhead toss to his arsenal. These special moves include MK1 Kano's Spinning Blade move, MK2 Kung Lao's Air Torpedo, Goro's Spinning Punch move, Raiden's lightning that shoots from behind the opponent, and Baraka's Blade Spin move. They make their first official appearance in Mortal Kombat Trilogy. Several have unused special moves never implemented in previous games. Many of Mortal Kombat Trilogy characters have brand new special moves and finishing moves. Brutalities were also added to the Genesis and SNES ports of UMK3.
This finishing move requires the player to perform an 11 button combo which causes their opponent to explode.
