Rules of the Outworld.

While the kombatants in the original Shaolin Tournament for Martial Arts wagered their very lives upon their skills, in Shao Khan's Outworld tournament, they wager much more!!

The Outworld tournament first tests a warrior's fighting skill by pitting him against each of the formidable Earth warriors. In all Mortal Kombat battles, meters in the upper-left and upper-right corners of the screen measure the health of the warriors.

The meters begin each round completely black, but each time a warrior is hit, an amount of white signifying the degree of the injury is added to his meter. When a warrior's bar becomes completely white, he is knocked out and the round goes to his opponent. Should time run out before either kombatant is knocked out, the warrior with less injury is declared the victor. The first warrior to win two rounds takes the match and moves on to his next opponent.

Once a warriros has defeated the other kombatabts in the tournament, he then takes on the first of his Outworld hosts, the demon Shang Tsung. His youth restored by his master Shao Kahn, Tsung possesses both powerful magic and considerable physical skill.

Defeating Tsung again proves a warrior worthy of meeting Shao Kahn, supreme ruler of the Outworld, in battle. Defeat him to end his rule and become the Supreme Warrior in the Outworld realm!
