Yeah, that is the difference. The rest of the songs associated with the games or movies *are from* Mortal Kombat. This song *IS* Mortal Kombat. Like how the OG Mario theme always stuck around. Or how Sephiroth's Theme defined the sound of the Final Fantasy for years after. Simple perfection.
@@cosmostupid123 welp, i can say in my opinión that the only genuine sinister song it's "the church" battle theme...the rest of the songs are More urban than sinister...my favorite it's the Subway theme BtW
The very first stage of Mortal Kombat and the entire series, I've never forgotten it. When you win or lose there's monks in the background behind your character that do a clapping sound. And this music and stage has been brought back several times since, including Mortal Kombat 3/UMK3 as the street music and the stage design was brought back for Trilogy, Deception, Shaolin Monks and Mortal Kombat 2011.
@@jameszack7158 You can't be serious. The Genesis version is literally the bootleg, low quality version of this one😏. This is the OG, Arcade version! To each his own😏😄.
Theme of Raiden (as he is now) Especially if they brought klassic themes back as Kombatants' themes (like in Street Fighter) in MK1! "AOOH-KATSUBURI-YAAAAH!"
1:02 even if you knew how to pull a Fatality it was impossible not to panic with how tense the music got at that point and the FINISH HIM!!!! scream sounding, boy those were times

The game used the YM2151, commonly known for sounding like the Genesis for the average listener, but for more knowledgeable people, they know it's a form of FM Synthesis
To me this is the most "Mortal Kombat" of all the themes, showing up in several games.
Absolutely. Could neatly fit in any of the stages as well. Just this foreboding horror that also says "Kick ass". What a theme.
I agree whenever I think of mortal kombat I think of an arcade machine and hear this theme song

Techno syndrome is also one of the goats
I think the streets stage in umk 3 is a remix of this
It feels soooo fucken good listening to this in MK11
Every time I go into practice mode I pick this stage and jump on the projector till the subway or the pit shows up in the background.
Probably because it was one of the only good tracks in the game.
Mortal Kombat was truly ahead of its time.
It changed gaming forever
We’re making it out of Shang tsung’s island w this one 🔥🔥🔥
Iconic. 2 fighters meet and fight to the death, all while an evil overlord and other participants spectate. Classic Karate Island vibes.
Scorpion: Get OVer here!!! (and makes an uppercut)
Shang Tsung: EXCELENT!!!
love how the series has always stuck with the booming atmospheric, ambient sinister sounding music...
Until mk3 came out, lol

This MK theme is my favorite! Very 90s retro!
the first time that I played on born arcade I was 12 years old in 1993 I was impressed by this music and the style of scorpion and sub zero😱🔥🔥🔥🔥
Fun fact: the guy who played Johnny Cage was also the guy who played Sub-Zero and Scorpion
I went nuts when I heard this in MK11
This theme forever solidified MK for me.

Also for the Pit stage and Wasteland in MK2
Excellent.
Mortal Kombats strength has always been theme and this is one of the best examples
0:25 idk why but this part is so catchy to me
The Courtyard - 1992
Wasteland - 1993
The Street - 1995
The evolution of these theme, which to me is the pinnacle Mortal Kombat theme.
One of the best Soundtracks ever made
Wow...heard this so many times in the arcade, but with good earphones you hear SO much more. Love the frantic ending.
flawless vict- Fatality!
Why is this soundtrack so freaking gooooodddd
My favourite soundtrack of all times in MK
Awesome theme
The first MK truly has an 80s action movie/John Carpenter vibe
Extraignacks u r so right
The music sounds like it's right out of they live.
Because the game is inspired by the Bruce lee (Or Van Damme idk) movie with the name "Enter the dragon"
Hence the Dragon logo
Extraignacks
90s
“The BEGIN of Mortal Kombat”!
This is the most easy song to recognize from any mk game. There have been so many versions. I like the umk3 version
This is the best version. No contest.
Sega Genesis version is the best, sorry to say that 😏

@@Apollyon_Rev911 genesis version may have lower sound quality, but it sounds more action packed.
I love this song in MK11 Retroarcade
Dead Pool comes close but this is the peak of Mortal Kombat music
Theme of Raiden (as he is now) Especially if they brought klassic themes back as Kombatants' themes (like in Street Fighter) in MK1!
"AOOH-KATSUBURI-YAAAAH!"
If Enter the Dragon ever had a video game and you played as Bruce Lee, this would be the freakin theme
0:05 Fight!
Excellent!
Get over here! - Scorpion
1:02 even if you knew how to pull a Fatality it was impossible not to panic with how tense the music got at that point and the FINISH HIM!!!! scream sounding, boy those were times
They should’ve remade this theme and put in the 1995 MK movie.
This sound added on the new map in MK11 aftermatch! and 2nd one is from the forest of MK2
Happy anniversary, MK!!

This game was so awesome.
When you get invited to the Courtyard.
Let's be honest The Ninjas are the best thing about Mortal Kombat
I find the story to be the best thing and the gameplay but I agree to some degree
I love the story befor the reboot
They're good, but I prefer Goro and Shang Tsung
Well I mean, Sonya and Raiden are cool too

Forden didn't compose the music until MK2.

Nasty isn't it? Wish they had music like this in the latest MK games.
That's how FM synthesis makes awesome basses. Wish they kept FM in the sequel instead of going full sample based.

Makes me sad.. To think of this era of Mortal Kombat to the games we have today. 1993 you will be missed. #mygeneration
Mortal Kombat 1 release in 1992, not 1993. Mortal Kombat II release in 1993.
Mortal Kombat home versions were released in fall 1993.
