Nintendo 64 Longplay: Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero

Played on a PAL copy of the game.

READ: In this playthrough I used a cheatcode to give myself 999 lives. The reason for this is because the game puts you back at the title screen when you get a game over, and there's a lot of unfair instant death traps throughout the game. Having more lives made it possible to rely heavily on the checkpoints. It did not however give me more health or power.

Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero is a 1997 action-adventure game of the fighting game series Mortal Kombat. It is the first Mortal Kombat game to feature side-scrolling gameplay. It was released for the PlayStation and Nintendo 64. Mythologies is a prequel set prior to the events of the tournament in the original Mortal Kombat. The storyline centers on the warrior, Sub-Zero. In the story he is asked to find an amulet by the sorcerer Quan Chi. The player controls Sub-Zero in multiple stages as he faces multiple enemies trying to eliminate him.

The PlayStation version features live-action cutscenes, but the Nintendo 64 version of the game replaced the live-action cutscenes with still images of such, due to limited storage space on the cartridge. Criticism toward the game are directed at the poor transition from fighting games to an action-adventure genre. Some labeled it as the 2nd worst Mortal Kombat game next to Mortal Kombat: Special Forces.
