Mortal Kombat for the Super Nintendo (1992) is a fighting game centered around one-on-one combat in a tournament setting. Players select a character from a diverse roster, each with unique fighting styles and special moves, to defeat opponents and ultimately win the Mortal Kombat tournament.
The main objective involves depleting the opponent’s health bar through a combination of punches, kicks, and special attacks. Matches proceed in a fast-paced manner, requiring quick reflexes and strategic use of moves. The game introduces the concept of "Fatalities," finishing moves that players can execute to end a fight in a dramatic and distinctive way.
A unique mechanic in Mortal Kombat is its digitized character sprites, which use real actors’ movements for a more realistic appearance compared to typical animation of the time. The game’s unusual idea lies in combining graphic violence with a fantasy martial arts theme, a feature that set it apart in the early 1990s fighting game genre.
