Proto:Mortal Kombat Trilogy (Nintendo 64)/May Build
This is a sub-page of Proto:Mortal Kombat Trilogy (Nintendo 64).
This prototype of Mortal Kombat Trilogy, dated May 13, 1996, also came with a source code leak of the Nintendo 64 version of Mortal Kombat Trilogy, which was released by an anonymous 4chan user, who claimed that he got it from a developer.
It is likely that this was a prototype sent to gaming magazines for previews.

Character Select
| Prototype | Final |
|---|---|
 |
 |
The character select screen had the most visual changes from this prototype, the most notable difference being that both Johnny Cage and Khameleon were not added yet, and Unmasked Sub-Zero was still present, as he was cut in the final due to memory limitations. As in the arcade version, Human Smoke uses the question mark symbol, and the division lines between characters are not present. In addition, some characters are in different spots than in the final (for example, while Noob, Sonya, and Rain are in their final position, the other half of the top row is different).
Choose your Destiny
| Prototype | Final |
|---|---|
 |
 |
The Choose your Destiny screen is directly reused from Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, with the background portal still colored purple and the tower sprite being from Mortal Kombat 3, instead of the new sprite present in the final.
Continue Screen

|---|---|
 |
 |
The continue screen is reused from Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3.
Arena Differences
 | To do: Rip the sprites from the prototype and compare them to the arcade versions, since both Kahns Arena and The Bank were cut in the final version. |
Kahn's Arena
One of the cut backgrounds from the final version, with Baraka and Raiden being Shao Kahn's prisoners, replacing Sonya and Kano from the original version. The arena was present in the PS1 version, but the prisoner sprites were removed as both Baraka and Raiden are playable characters.
The Bank
Much like the 16-bit ports of Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, The Bank was also cut due to memory limitations, leaving only The Rooftop.
Character Differences
Human Smoke
| Prototype | Final |
|---|---|
 |
 |
Human Smoke's color palette looks darker than in the final version, as well as having both Ermac's decapitation uppercut and Scorpion's clones Fatalities as placeholders.
Scorpion
Scorpion has his forward teleport punch absent from this build, and his Hell Hand Fatality from the PS1 version is present, instead of the Clones Fatality, albeit being quicker and the sprites lack some work.
