Killer Instinct Gold © 1997 Nintendo of America, Inc.

Dazzling 3-D backgrounds and a celebrated combo engine highlight this two-fisted tournament pak. Your battles unfold with lighting-fast action and fluid character animation at 60 frames per second. Other enhancements include a zoomed-out Aerial Camera view and an excellent Training Mode that displays your button and Control Stick moves. Focused Training gives you step-by-step instructions for each move!

Fighters can be tossed off the richly detailed stages, which range from Spinal's rolling pirate ship to Sabrewulf's gloomy castle. KI Gold boasts three new fighters -- Maya, Kim Wu and Tusk -- and one terrifying boss character, Gargos. Classic Killer moves include Manual-Doubles, Pressure Moves, Super Linkers, Throws, Juggles and Finishers. Advanced algorithms mean you can create hundreds of thousands of combos -- if you're good enough!

KI Gold features Team, Team Elimination, Tournament and Arcade modes. In Arcade mode, you must battle through all 11 fighters, including a double of yourself. In Team mode, as soon as a fighter's life bar is empty, another steps into the fray. Team sizes can range from two to 11 fighters. Team Elimination is just like Team mode, except that you must finish off your last opponent with an Ultra or Ultimate combo. The Practice mode allows you to work out with any fighter.

KI Gold features five speed levels, including Ludicrous, and six difficulty levels. In Training mode, you can select from three difficulty levels.
