- Watch a torturously difficult play through of N64’s MK Trilogy on novice and very easy. Yes you read that right. This game is HARD. Anyways, it’s been a while so sit back and watch me beat the game Ultimately with Noob Saibot.
Enjoy!

This game gleefully murders you on very easy. Beware…
You’re telling me. It’s brutal 😳
It is so fucking stupid and unplayable how hard these old MK games are for single player. Just straight up bad and I am even a retro gamer enthusiast. Not worth your time. 2 player or bust. Flat out fucking cheaps.
So we miss a golden opportunity to play as the most broken Sub-Zero in all of MK history, or a non-loading morph Shang Tsung and we don't choose either? :(
@@wyldelf2685 oh wow, the place where I bought this actually had another copy of the game and IT DIDNT WORK. He had no idea why as he said it was rare for a cartridge not to work. YOU just answered why! Lol crazy man thanks for the info 👊🏼
After the 2nd fight on the novice tower, they step up that difficulty.
They did this version ok MK Trilogy dirty. Missing animations and terrible sound effects and music was criminal.
The N64 could’ve reality handle all the sounds and graphics of UMK3. But Williams wanted to be cheap, and released the game on a ROM size of 16MB (128-Megabits). They should’ve given this game a full 32MB (256-Megabits) to take advantage of the system.
Just takes me back to being 10 and having probably 30 printed pages worth of all the characters moves and fatalities. I would lay those in a circle around me as I played late into the night with a bag of Doritos next to me. Fun times.
The good ole days
Sounds like good memories 👊🏼 thanks for the comment
What I absolutely hated about these earlier MK games--especially part three and any version of it because of combos--is that you couldn't get close to your opponent to do anything substantial most of the time. It was almost as if the hit boxes of both fighters touching triggered an automatic throw for your opponent. As a kid (and I'm sure, despite my currently improved skill nothing will have changed for me) I got good with Sub-Zero because I literally had to freeze my opponent just so I could perform a combo without getting thrown the nano-second I was close enough.
Oh yeah the computers ability to throw you from a distance was a huge disadvantage for all the early MKs so I agree with you 👊🏼
I love how you gush over the way kahn says "NEWWWWB SAIBOT!" I remember as a kid the n64 sound quality making it sound like Kahn has a lisp when saying "Scorpion!" so I'd just be yelling "THCORPION!!!"
Shao Tyson 😂👊🏼
🤣👍
This was such a shit port but whenever my older brother comes to visit we would always play a couple rounds of this version. Just recently he came down to visit and we were playing this version.
I miss him sometimes, these games keep our bond stronger.
That’s cool my friend, I love hearing the experiences people have with these games, thanks for sharing 👊🏼
@@BushyStallionyeah I was like 3 years old back in like 2003. He was born in 93 and this was some of my first experiences in games. This is why past my generation but I like to say I can keep up with you old cats.
I actually prefer the compressed sound of this version over the PS1 version. It makes the game more creepy and gritty IMO. Thanks for the video!
I like the audio I didn’t find it took from the experience at all. Thanks for the comment
This trilogy AI plays nothing like the disc Trilogy AI, or UMK3. It's tough, and CHEAP.
But watching 3v3 play at high level is really cool
I don’t know if I’ll ever get to experience that on this version. It’ll probably go into storage in the next couple weeks lol
My parents got me MK Trilogy for N64, for Christmas, 1996. It was 75 dollars and today's money it would be 145 dollars 😳. My sister got me Killer Instinct Gold as well. That game was 65 dollars. Yes, N64 games were this expensive, due to being cartridge based.
I got MKT y KI Gold for 40 $ each Game....so 80 Both but used😅😅😅 im Happy😂
I remember when Square released the snes Chrono Trigger and FF3 (now it's FF6), they were sold at $80
I had this on PlayStation and it was the first time that I felt like wow I have the arcade experience at home! I remember it getting 7/10 in the reviews on average but I didn’t care, I was so excited for MK Trilogy! I actually didn’t know there was an N64 version until much later on. Love your channel man! I still have my Mortal Monday t-shirt from when I got my snes copy of the first Mortal Kombat on launch day from my dad. I can’t even describe the excitement in words when we went to pick up a copy with my dad that day. We used to play the first Mortal Kombat, the arcade machine at a Burger King in the UK. We always got chocolate milkshakes and then played Mortal Kombat for an hour there. Then later I will also never forget when my dad drove me around London to help me look for the Mortal Kombat II arcade machine. I just knew it existed but hadn’t even seen screen shots. We found one and watched others play because there was such a crowd around the machine, I don’t think I got to play that time but I just remember seeing Liu Kang’s bicycle kick for the first time and Sub Zero’s ground freeze and I was completely blown away! The anticipation for the home snes version was ridiculous, I’d collect gaming magazines just for the screenshots of it. That snes home port exceeded my expectations, it was a crazy good port. I still have my copy 🙏 brings back so many memories watching your channel! The very first thing that caught my attention seeing the first MK in the arcades was how the characters were real people and then of course the blood, the first stage I ever saw was the pit and I saw someone get knocked down the pit stage and I was blown away… “what IS this game?!” It was actually a slightly scary game in the arcades and that’s a big reason why I loved it, Street Fighter II was a masterpiece of a game and so addictive, amazing gameplay, revolutionary. But Mortal Kombat had this mood to it, the lore, how dark it felt, it felt somehow real or something. Again I don’t know how to describe the feeling. There was this weight to it, this foreboding mood that was like nothing else. I’m still obsessed with Mortal Kombat after all these years. Happy New Year man!
That was an AWESOME comment my friend, you obviously have a lot of memories associated with this game, I like how you described the way you felt seeing Liu and Subs moves for the first time. And your comparison to Street Fighter is great also, you definitely have respect for both. Glad you enjoy the channel my friend and again thank you for sharing that! Hope you’re having a great New Year so far, take care my man 👊🏼
I played what I thought was a ton of this game and this video made me realize I didn't even unlock human Smoke and Khameleon. Cool seeing it again!
Yep, just a simple code input at the attract screen and Khameleon and Human Smoke were avail. Thanks for the comment 👊🏼
Ahh, my childhood. Back when internet was new and I had my friend print out a list of cheats, fatalities, etc from the library. We were the coolest kids around cause we had all the info on printed papers.
I actually found a cheat sheet of mine from the late 90’s in the garage, with a bunch of moves for MK4 lol thanks for sharing your memories my friend 🙏🏽
My personal favorite MK of all time MK3 trilogy on the N64 . Many titles on the N64 are my GOATs 🐐 😊 GG my gaming brother 👏🫡🙌
I need to practice a bit and adjust the exposure or contrast next time I play this if I plan to record it lol thanks for the comment though I appreciate it 👊🏼
“You cheaped me; you cheap Bas#ard” 😂😂
👏👏👏
If only the bills to live life were as cheap as Motaro and Shao Khan
Lmao yoo no kidding though
You must live around the Toronto area in Canada also lol
I was never able to beat a single tower in my childhood in this game haha! Ridiculously hard. Thanks for making a video on it. Nnnnooobb Saibooot!
I don’t blame you, the difficulty is ridiculous on this thing lol
Very watchable and listenable analogue recording. Nicely done.
Thank you 🙏🏽
Nice video man! It’s been many years since I played this version. Now I gotta play it. Lol
Thanks MEL 👊🏼
I played the living hell out of this game. I had a Strat Guide that was extremely detailed and informative. It covered everything for both the PSOne and the N64 versions. The guide even had pics of each fatality, etc. shown frame-by-frame. My favorite was always the Brutality. They were a bitch to pull off, but it was always quite enjoyable watching your character beat the living snot out of your opponent until he exploded. Both versions had Chamelion as a hidden character, but the PSOne's version was a male and his name was spelled differently. Now, the PSOne made out like a bandit when it came to the character, but the N64 had one thing going for them: zero loading time.
This was awesome. I never got to playing this back in day on either N64 or PlayStation
I prefer the originals now but back when this came out it was amazing, on the PS1 mostly for myself but on the N64 also.
Im amazed how well cropped your video is considering your recording off a TV screen. Very nicely done! Oh and playing on Easy is the way to go LOL. This game was BALLS HARD.
Thank you, I started adjusting some exposure settings on the camera to try and crisp things up a little bit and it’s worked well in recent videos, I’ll have to give this game another go. Thanks for the comment 👊🏼
Awesome video brother, i was 13 when this launched in 1996 i bought this on my N64 still my favorite MK game. I don’t think younger gamers realized this was $74.99 lol but worth every penny. Subbed
Thanks Boss, and yeah it was pricey but the game was complete, whereas nowadays these games are released before they’re even finished, causing a million updates and add ons and micro transactions that end up costing a bunch if you wanna keep playing the game as intended. We grew up in a great time for video games. Thanks for the comment 🙏🏽
Nice I actually never played this one for some reason
Nice play through this is actually the best version of MKT because it's the most balanced and preferred among competitive players.
Is that a fact? That’s cool. I gotta give it another go it’s a fun version. I grew up playing the PS1 version which I always remembered being better, I’d love to try that one again. Thanks for the comment 👊🏼
@@BushyStallion Yep! The other versions are fun and not horrible or anything it's the MK2 and MK1 characters, bosses have the MK 2 damage and some of the bosses are too OP. The N64 version has less characters overall and more balance apparently. Years ago I didn't know this then I started getting competitive and I totally see why the competitive FGC feels that way with MKT. I have both N64 and PS1 versions! There were actually two versions for Playstation a red disc and a yellow one haha. You bet dude, nice vids and Happy New Year!
A childhood PS1 favorite, I got a few good laughs outta this vid. I like Noob Saibot's friendship too 😂
Still looking for a playable version of the PS1 version…
Back in the day I owned MKT on the PS1 and loved the classic fighters you can switch to. I rented the N64 version a few times to experience the reduced load times, Star Pit, and the female Khameleon secret fighter. The PS1 version had the male Chameleon. The N64 version however did not have the classic versions of some fighters which was a bummer but still, was a fun romp. What a great time for MK fans.
Oh yeah it was fun for sure. My memories of the game were all the PS1 version, I enjoy seeing the differences now having tried the N64 version. I’d still like to get a copy of the PS1 version eventually.
Ah yes trilogy, where the male npc change voices like stryker sounding like jax and sounding like kung lao when fatalitied😂
Did everyone notice on The pit bottom stage The developers of MK like Father Ed Boon's Head or the character designer and storyboard and story concept designer Steve Beran Head also in the foreground.
I was about to say the same thing but yes definitely the heads looks familiar.
I have been playing MKT on the N64 since day one. I never played it on the Playstation until recently. I finally decided to pick it up. I was excited (key word,"WAS.") As soon as I got home, I popped it into my PS4, and the first thing that came out of my mouth was "WTF IS THIS!?" I gave it a shot but couldn't. I know the PS1 version has more to the game, but more doesn't make it better. I can't play it. I'm going to keep it, I just can't play it. The N64 version is better.
I think the loading time ruins it. If they crammed all that into the N64 version it would’ve been even better, however it’s still great regardless. Thanks for the comment 👊🏼
MK Trilogy is guaranteed in my top 2 favorite MK of all time. I grew up on the PSX version. Need to play the N64 version more.
I too only played the PS1 version as far as I can remember. And it was EXCELLENT 🥋
Another great video!
Thank you 👊🏼
My memories of this game:
Beat like 3 ppl then fight Jade, get merked 3x in a row, and finally switch to Noob or Rain 😂
That sounds about right lol
I always turned on auto-combo in secret menu and 1-button fatalities. PSX version
I agree the no loading is a huge plus . The loading in Alpha 2 SNES is MUCH FASTER if you increase the speed
That’s sucks too. Sf2 champion edition on mega drive is the best
I was surprised there was a pause pretty much in Alpha 2 for SNES I thought the version I was playing was broken.
Absolutely love MKT. One of my favorite N64 games! 🩸
N64 nailed it for sure with this version 👊🏼
Tip when facing khan keep crouching and uppercutting thats what i do
This game could have benefitted from the expansion ram. What could have been.
I doubt a 2d fighter game needed extra memory on a 100 mhz console it’s far the best version out the lot anyway and it’s on a chip not a disc
@@tabsntoot except the PS1/Saturn versions are better than the N64. The N64 version was missing quite a bit. So I’ll repeat myself. This version could have benefitted from the expansion ram.
Absolutely…Especially if it was released back then (the expansion port that is), or if MK Trilogy was released around mid-1997 or so.
This is probably the oldest trick in the book, but whenever I played this game on N64, I could cheese Motaro and Shao Khan to death with Sheeva, purely by spamming her teleport stomp move. It's a slow, awkward move, but they'll just stand there and block it because they can, and it eventually gets them killed. Virtually risk-free.
I didn’t even think of trying that, if I jump on again though I’ll have to try that, at least with Motaro. Shao is definitely easier than Motaro in this version.
Man this brings me back 😮sometimes i definitely miss the run mechanic 💯💪
I suppose tapping forward twice or backwards twice on the new game is KIND of like running maybe? Regardless, I still love these older versions. Thanks for the comment my friend 👊🏼
@BushyStallion appreciate you bro 💪💯
I like this version, it feels like your playing an Arcade edition of a Mortal Kombat game.😄
As much as I suck in this game this is the best MK game to date
GoG has a great DOS version with full controller support if you want to play it more!
If I were to pick up my N64 and play a game by myself, it would usually be this one. Not because it's the best game, but because I'm not gonna go through hours of playing mario to beat it again, and Smash Bros is only fun when playing friends. This game at least still has most of the original characters with the same special moves, so I don't have to learn much. But it's also moving towards the "combo" era of fighting games, rather than the special moves and the jumping kicks and leg sweeps. I was never a big combo type person, so i got my arse kicked in Killer Instinct.
Thanks for the comment 👊🏼 You may think Killer Instinct is all about the combos but regular moves I find do way more damage on their own, almost like strong chip damage, makes trying to pull off long combos almost pointless other then they look cool. As for MK Trilogy being a quick pick up and play game I agree. 👊🏼
Its an awesome version as well!!! I think you should try the Mortal Kombat 2 Remix. Its jaw dropping how polished and well made is. You should definitely give it a look.
I’d like to try it I’ve seen it in other videos. May have to jump on the computer and try it. Or maybe I have it on my RetroPie I’m not sure. Thanks for the recommendation though 👊🏼
Not sure if it was mentioned, but if you hold select on subzero you can get mk3 subzero and same on other characters
We had Trilogy on PS1, I never had the guts to increase the AI difficulty or go for the champion tower. I'm not sure if it's the same on N64 but I was watching someone else beat champion tower on very hard difficulty. What is so ridiculous about it is the AI is programmed to counter your hits so trying to beat your opponent without using gimmicks, cheese, exploits or whatever you want to call them is really hard. What is even more ridiculous than that is that the first endurance round you see on champion tower you have to beat 5 opponents twice instead of your usual 2 opponents. The second endurance is goro + kintaro fight.
Ahh what you’re talking about is the PS1, I managed to beat the champion tower after this play through (I will post the video tomorrow) and the first endurance match after Motaro on N64 is just two characters. Thank goodness. Thank you for the comment 👊🏼
Noob is such a broken character. Jump punch into (I think) hp, hp, lp, hk, teleport, uppercut. 52% combo. At least on the snes version. I’d assume it’d work here, too.
Yea, we used to ban Noob from our MK tournaments as kids lol.
This was my shit as a kid. I used to wreck shop with Raiden, Kabal and Cyrax
I had this game on sega Saturn
Up up down down left left right right
C up, C right, C down, A, B, B, B, A, A
The smoothest version of MK Trilogy. The N64 resembled the closest to an arcade version of MK Trilogy. Only missing a couple character selections compared to the PS version like Kintaro and Goro.
But if you want all the characters and then some, build a Mugen version of 2D MKs.
BEAUTIFUL.
I used to love to hold down and press start on kano and do the champion endurance ladder and then at the end select mega endurance combat. super tough though, especially since the first character you fight Khameleon first. could you attempt to make a video doing this?
Can you get some friends over to play trilogy on person? It'd be great to see some trilogy action, being it the decisive arcade version. If you can, I mean. Great video!
This is a good idea I’m sure I could in the future 👊🏼
Definitely the best port.
I owned this game as a kid. What I've learned is that you can't start combos in the air on the female ninjas unless you're a male ninja or another female ninja. Hence why you couldn't combo Kitana from the air as Johnny Cage, which you could do if you were, let's say, Scorpion. I'm assuming the reason for that is due to wonky hit boxes
Great tips 👊🏼
45 minutes Gah damn. You think i don't have a life and can sit here and watch this lol.. Nah jk. Keep em coming. Love the vids as usual. Living my nostalgia needs thru all ya'll arcade1up fools is great.
😂😂 I wouldn’t watch it all either so I hear ya lol thanks for the support and comment my friend 👊🏼
I had this game on Nintendo DS and never got past the 4th or 5th rung. One of the most frustrating games I've ever played, but at least it came with puzzle kombat. Mortal Kombat + Dr. Mario = Shang Fun.
Oh wow I remember that version. I saw it here last week in mint condition for 60 bucks. I might just pick it up lol thanks for the comment
I forgot which character you use or if it’s any character you can use, but before you start the wasteland level, there’s a certain code you can put in and your character will become mentaro, or however you spell his name
Best 2d mk game ever but the PS1 version even with all its bugs was the best N64 ran way smoother was the character selection ever I wish they would remaster the PS1 version without the bugs
Buggy with loading was or is maddening but easily the best console port.
Gotta add it back into the collection at some point just for kicks.
Had this on the ps1. My all time.fave MK
Right on. I also had it on PS1 👊🏼
The glory days
The first MK I ever played! When I was like 6 years old hahah the nostalgia
Gotta love the nostalgia 👊🏼
Omg I play this before I love mortal Kombat trilogy that is the best game I had play it multiple time and mortal Kombat trilogy was the best game that I play for Nintendo 64 I love that game so much😁😄
@@BushyStallion no not really I couldn't get there power I try my best to beat it because it wasn't easy for me to beat it and Nintendo 64 mortal Kombat trilogy game was kind hard for me to play it I try my best but it was kind hard to beat it lol
I have the PlayStation version and noticed it’s missing the, I believe “shrine stage”. The one with the stone statues of all the fighters.
Yeah only 3 MK1 stages made it to MKT
Wow, I forgot how great this game looks, been watching so much of the older console versions lol. 🍻
Darryl, you are like a Greek God 🏆😂🙏
Thank you? Lol I appreciate the comment 👊🏼
Had this on ps1. Amazing video
I still do. 👍
Thanks, Darryl!! 👍👍
I still have my silver slim PS2 along with quite a few games!
Well this certainly felt a very serious game in terms of difficulty! Good lord that was a challenge - excellent work though! Looks really good and always nice to see these alternate versions. I think only the music seems to suffer here, doesn't sound as grand. Is Johnny Cage another actor here? Doesn't look like Daniel Pesina - was this post their legal fallout? Nice to see the character back anyway! 👊
Yeah dude the game was insanely hard.. I DID manage to do something else in this game but I will post it tomorrow possibly. As for Johnny, it was a different actor and definitely because of the legal issues.
@@BushyStallion I look forward to it (possibly) and catching up with the Wednesday night stream! Thanks for the trivia, Shang Fun. 👊
Dude i remember near the beginning it said something like "you only have one controller plugged in, for two player restart the console with 2 controllers plugged in". I dont remember that being i thing in any other n64 game, much less any other console at the time.
Also you can glitch the game with sheeva on the Boss charters on the tower just use her jump move on final boss and you will win every time he will just block and u will chip damage him to nothing
Hi 👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻FIGHT!🔥
Hi lol 👊🏼
@@BushyStallion 👊🏼
trilogy on n64 is the greatest!
Nope pc and ps1 but n64 version is awsome
@@ChrisB-gk1zg you could have a point there i am definitely biased because it's my favorite fighter on n64 and we used to switch back and forth between mkt and goldeneye when friends came over to play the n64. Plus no loading times and shang morphs work great. Plus 3 on 3 kombat. I've always liked the n64 version.
Also the hardest lol
MK3 is like SF2 with tons of remakes
But very inovative for its time
Yup
@@flowrepins6663 Very few people know that Mortal Kombat it’s just based on the movie big trouble in Little China, and a lot of Van Damme stuff. Interesting to see how you can get around the copyright just by changing the names. Look at the cover for Contra on the NES that’s Sylvester Stallone and Dolph Lundgren I think.
It's very appropriate that you got Kid Thunder'd...haha
Damn Raiden or I mean, Rayden.
Noob Saibot's combo: Teleport =>Uppercut
If you managed to catch your opponent, you would have just enough time for the follow up
I remember playing this on PS1
After playing this version I gotta say I remember liking the PS version more.
Dude, I always changed the buttons to have block and run on the shoulder buttons like we are used to. Don’t play with the default config. 💪🏼
You made me just want to buy this game and surprisingly found one for $25 😮😮
Thank you!! 😈
Excellent! Good find dude have fun revisiting the Trilogy 👊🏼
@@BushyStallion thank you! also definitely had to sub to you! You have Great content and brings back so many memories 🤝🏽🔥
It would be cool if A1U made a trilogy arcade cabinet
It would be interesting the version that they’d choose to emulate.
Funny Cage! Sub-Zero in MKT on N64 had both unmasked and masked Sub's moves. They took out unmasked Sub during development. Not enough space for characters.
Makes sense, makes him a ridiculously strong character.
@@BushyStallion there is an mkt beta rom out there where mk3 sub is in the game
Oh yeah. Mortal Kombat Trilogy on N64. How bad it was. So bad. So bad. I had both ps1 and n64. The ps1 version was good even with load time. In the n64 version even motaro and shao khan had fatalitys but they was bad so bad.
Collision boxes turns on the hotboxes so you can see where your contact is made.
It’s an interesting cheat, I don’t think I’ve ever used it 👊🏼
@@BushyStallion I did once. When it came out. I didn’t understand it so I turned it off. Now that I’m older, I get it. The N64 version of the game was awful IMO
Would love to see u play through as khameleon as shes exclusive to this version
This version of Khameleon is cool but can barely see her on this TV I think I need a CRT TV to actually see her.
so they just combined both sub-zeros into one mega one because they ran out of space.
I would love a mk with everybody from 9 through mk1 they’d never happen though
Only MUGEN versions have these characters all together and many many more.
Also, what's your thoughts on the spin off mk games like Special Forces and Sub Zero Mythologies
I loved Mythologies on PS1 however I’m curious how much I’d like it now, Special Forces I’ve never tried.
When you turned on the console, there was a screen that said only one controller was detected. To activate the Player 2 port, both controllers must be plugged in before turning on the console.
Question: do you find it easier to pull off moves/fatalities on console compared to arcade? Im talking from a controller vs acrcade aspect. Obvi you know know all the moves, which takes practice.But is one method easier?(1up vs controller on a console)
I definitely prefer an arcade stick and buttons 👊🏼 thanks for the question
i played the hell out of this back in the day
Well it’s so hard it’s playing the hell outta me lol
it sucks that they removed the female decapitated head from the pit in mkt as it appeared in the first game in the arcades
You pay attention to detail, I had no idea they cut that. Good comment 👊🏼
If I would have gotten Babality novice by the cpu, I would have retired for good.
When I was little I played a lot, I went to the video store, paid two reais and played Milena Sub-Zero on the Nintendo...👏👏👏💪
Excellent memory my friend 👊🏼
Ajax? I'm in Pickering.
Good evening Neighbor lol 👊🏼
Gotta play the masterpiece of mk trilogy on the Gamecom
Gamecon lol
Very Bad Video Quali.................. sorry
IIRC, the Green Question Mark doesn't require a code to unlock. It's only the Blue and Red ones that do.
Ahh ok. Good to know 👊🏼
AI IS BRUTALL ON YOU.
Maybe I suck I dunno, but it was brutal.
Motaro ain’t no joke
Oh I agree lol
You know? You could have used a glitch that allows you to play as Motaro... oh wait... you need 2 controllers for that glitch (it could have helped you to cheese a run in Champion Tower for the Supreme Demonstration), that moment when you got the "try the Pit 3" it meants that on that stage you can hold down plus B to turn into Khan (there are also 2 other stages... which are the Rooftop and Kahn's Kave), also... the Scorpion legion Fatality IS in the game (it just DOESN'T teleport the fighters to the Scorpion's Lair stage before it gets censored... also, in a beta version for some stupid reason Human Smoke has that Fatality... and makes the game die on you if you perform it against the Cyborg Ninjas like Cyrax), AND it doesn't show up in the Supreme Demonstration (the same goes for Motaro's and Khan's Fatalities).
