The character Rain (playable in some ports of the game) is a purple ninja palette swap. This is because the Sega Saturn port of Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 is actually a hacked version of Mortal Kombat 3 for the Playstation. The Sega Saturn version, however, still contains the Kano Noob Saibot.


In Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, Noob was again brought back as a ninja palette swap. In Mortal Kombat 3, due to the lack of traditional male ninjas in the game, the secret character Noob Saibot was a black palette swap of Kano, instead of being a palette swap of the ninjas as he was in Mortal Kombat II. For more information about what this means and to see a list of games sharing the same fate, take a look here: BPjS/BPjM indexed games. On August 31, 2000, Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 was put on the infamous German index by the BPjS.
