The X-ray move unleashes a series of attacks during which the game provides an internal view of the character being attacked, which shows their bones and organs being broken or ruptured. At the first level, it can be used to deliver an enhanced version of one of the character's special attacks two levels can be used to interrupt a combo attack, and the full three levels allow for the delivery of a special attack called an 'X-ray move'. The super meter can be charged to three levels, each of them enabling a different action to be performed.

Ī new feature is the 'super meter', which can be charged by various actions during battle such as performing special moves, getting blocked by the opponent, or getting hit by them.

In addition, each fighter has three different variations, each featuring a different set of moves they can use during the fight: for example, the character Scorpion features a Ninjutsu variation which gives him specific moves utilizing dual swords, a Hellfire variation which incorporates fiery special moves, and an Inferno variation which allows him to summon hellspawn minions to aid him in the fight. Unlike previous Mortal Kombat games, four buttons on the game controller represent attacks and are each linked to a corresponding limb. Mortal Kombat uses a single two-dimensional fighting plane (at 60 frames per second), although characters are rendered in three-dimensional fashion, intended to give depth and range to portrayals of various projectiles. Principal gameplay involves one-on-one 3D style fighting.
