This is a playthrough of single player mode using Shao Kahn in the Saturn version of Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3. Read on below for more information...

Shao Kahn is the 2nd and final boss in the game, and he is an unplayable character in this version of it.

INFINITE LIFEBAR CHEAT USED ON THE FINAL STAGE DUE TO DIFFICULTY.

===== ABOUT SATURN UMK3 SHAO KAHN =====

The Saturn UMK3 Shao Kahn, under human control (via third party methods of course), has some glitched moves where he can actually damage opponents (which can be repeated), and there is some "leniency" regarding the strictness level of crashing the game. The latter means that you can actually do things with him without easily freezing the game. Therefore, this makes it possible to actually beat the game with him in single-player mode, as long as you're careful and avoid doing the things which can crash the game.

===== THE "GLIDING HAMMER" MOVE =====

This is a glitched "special move" of player-controlled Shao Kahn that is performed by pressing and releasing the Block button. You do not need to charge it. In my view, this appears to be a manifestation of Kano's Cannon Ball special move, with some different (and odd) hit properties. This suggests that in the code, Kahn was likely built using Kano's file as a starting template.

===== TECHNICAL INFORMATION =====

He cannot appear on the character select screen. If you use third party methods to try to make him appear here, the game will crash/freeze.

In a 2-player game, he will cause the VS screen to crash, freezing the game.

If you beat single-player with him and select the Tournament Outcome (ending) treasure, the game will crash. You can see this starting around 12:48 in the video.

Despite being an unplayable character, he has his own player icon on the Choose Your Destiny and Shao Kahn Treasures screen. However this is expected because he already has one on the towers of opponents.

In gameplay, in single-player mode, he is always locked to The Pit 3 background/stage unless he fights against Motaro. In 2-player games, he can appear on other backgrounds/stages.

He does not have a alternate colour palette obviously.

The player gets access to his Hammer move damage properties, but of course the animations for this are wrong/glitched. Example at 01:39.

The player has access to his Kick move damage properties, it even uses the correct graphics/animation frames. But the animation speed and range for this are wrong (it only looks "correct"). Example at 01:07.
