Redbook audio included on the dual mode PlayStation game disc of Mortal Kombat 3.

From a technical standpoint, this port uses the arcade audio but presents it in a different way compared the the arcade soundtrack. This audio here is stereo while the arcade was mono. Tracks 17-28 are stage themes which include the "Fight" announcement in the first few seconds (this was probably an attempt to save RAM) except tracks 18 and 24 which are alternates that are used when an opponent is uppercuted through a ceiling into a new area and the music needs to reset. The ending pieces for the stage themes that play when an opponent is knocked out in earlier rounds or is reeling during the fatality window in the final round are not included in this audio (they are probably in a different format) so the game can switch to them as quickly as they are needed.

Note that the current round number is not voiced in any of the audio of the 32 bit renditions of the game like it is arcade original or 16 consoles.
