Originally, it was supposed to be an action game where you play as both Jax and Sonya (it was even depicted as such on a magazine cover) but the whole thing was thrown together so fast that Sonya ended up being cut without so much of an explanation. This is one of those games that was rushed out the door in an unfinished state. I’m also only counting standalone Mortal Kombat games and not games with Mortal Kombat guest appearances.
