This is a playthrough of single player mode using Shao Kahn's sprites/data on Sektor in the SNES version of Mortal Kombat 3. Read on below for more information...

Shao Kahn is the 2nd and final boss of the game. He is a hidden playable character, but he can only be selected in a 2-player game, meaning that he is unavailable in a single-player game.

For this playthrough, a different method is used to effectively "replace" the registered character (the one you chose on the character select screen) with the sprites/data of Shao Kahn in gameplay. The main advantage to this is that it allows Kahn to appear on other stage backgrounds instead of just The Pit 3. The downside is that he will appear with the registered character's colour palette, which will look messed up. Here is some information if you're curious:

---- He can correct the messed up colours by getting hit by an opponent special move which makes him temporarily disappear or covers his sprites (an example being Sub-Zero's Ice Blast). However his colours will be messed up again for the next round or match.

---- Because it's not really Shao Kahn, the damage you receive and the damage output will be of the registered character (in this case, Sektor). This makes him much weaker than the genuine Kahn.

---- Because it's not really Shao Kahn, if you beat the game, the ending will be of the registered character you chose (in this case, Sektor).

---- Using this method allows Shao Kahn to reach the "Finish Him/Her" window if he wins or loses. This means he can have fatalities performed on him if he loses on the winning round. Technically it also allows Kahn himself the chance to perform a fatality, but he doesn't have any.

---- In the credits where it shows the cast of characters, the Shao Kahn sprites/data halts it because he cannot run off the side.

===== ABOUT SNES MK3 =====
This is a pretty good port of the arcade game... as MK got more advanced, it's clear that it got less close to the arcade when compared to the superb MK2 port. It should be noted that the Graveyard stage background is not in the SNES version of the game.
