v1.0 (2:09 AM 7/23/2005)

- Character select pic fixed.  It is now all black (just like I wanted it).
- Smoke code is no longer required to access Noob, however, the Smoke tease
  code (when no hidden characters are activated) has been dummied in a quick
  fix for Noob availability in 2-Player mode.
- Alterations to the Smoke code (Noob appearing at the title screen, etc.)
  have been reverted since Smoke and Noob aren't associated by access method
  anymore.
- A second access method for Noob has been made for those that don't care about
  potential 1-Player mode glitches (or want to pit Noob versus Smoke, Motaro,
  or Kahn in 2-Player mode).  See section 2.
- A missing combo has been added to section 2 of the readme.

v0.9 (6:18 PM 5/7/2005)

Initial release.  Character select pic has not been fixed yet.

1. Patch introduction
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE; This hack is for a headered GoodSNES-verified US version of MK3.  If you
try it on any others, you're on your own, as I cannot guarantee compatibility.

You may be wondering why such an intricate (yet inefficent and crappily coded)
hack was made over a character that for all intents and purposes looks to have
been hacked in himself at the last minute.  Well, there's really only three
good reasons for it:

a) I've always been fond of hidden characters.

b) I needed something new to hack, or at least something interesting.  For this
to look nice was more than enough for a side project to my other two in-
progress hacks (which will hopefully see release soon).

c) I *never* liked the fact that the MK series was stingy with its hidden
characters.  In fact, I'm never happy with that sort of thing, ever.

With that out of the way...

If for whatever reason you're wondering what the point of this hack is, i.e.
you didn't read the description, you can't remember who Noob is, etc., this
patch makes Noob Saibot playable, either through the character select in
2-Player mode or through choosing Kano and holding Select before the round
(more precise info in section 2).  2-Player mode accomodates Noob like Motaro
and Kahn, treating him as a boss character that shouldn't see 1P Kombat.
The second method allows you to use him in 1-Player mode, where he doesn't have
a working tower pic nor an ending, but otherwise works fine.  This hack is, in
turn, professional-looking and crappy all at once. :D

In MK3, Noob Saibot has become an all-black Kano with no special moves.  He has
all of Kano's combos, but that's it.  Aside from modifying the in-battle boss
checks to exclude him, Noob himself has not been altered in any way.  The only
advantage Noob carries is that he walks faster.  He doesn't even get a power
boost like he did in MK2.

So if you're like me, and like Mortal Kombat 3/UMK3/MK Trilogy, this hack may
be for you.  But if you suck at MK like I do (especially with Kano)... you may
not care that much. ^_^'

At the very least, the included ASM commentary might teach ya something.  I
doubt you'll even read it though.

There are two patches: the actual patch, and the anti-patch.  The anti-patch
removes the changes done by MK3Noob.ips, reverting the ROM back to normal if
you patched the right game.  If you *didn't* patch the right game, it will be
of no help, as it writes back in the data from the verified US ROM that was
overwritten by the patch.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Noob's moves and other info
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Special moves:

*NONE*

Combos:

1. HP, HP, HK, LK, B+HK
2. HP, HP, B+LP
3. HP, HP, D+LP, D+HP
4. HK, HK, LK, B+HK
5. LK, HK, LK, B+HK

Other in-battle info:

Noob always fights at the Balcony stage.  This overrides pretty much any other
stage preference, except the bosses, though since Motaro and Noob share the
same stage, you'll only notice this in a fight versus Kahn.

Noob has the fastest walk speed in the game, just slower than his run.

Other:

In any mode, Noob can be chosen before any round so long as the fighter you're
going in with is Kano.  After the Vs. screen and cheats screens, hold Select
down for the player(s) using Kano.  Done correctly, Kano will become Noob.
Note that the code that does this does NOT have any restrictions; the switch
can be made when Kano is CPU-controlled or even in demo battles.

Noob comes up on the character select screen on his own in 2-Player mode.  The
above hack isn't necessary, but since he uses the middle slot, Smoke, Motaro,
and Kahn will be unavailable to the other player if Noob is chosen this way.

If you do play Noob in 1-player mode, there are no fixes to accomodate him, and
there won't be either.  You'll just have to deal with his garbage pic on the
towers and his lack of an ending.

I did create a Vs. pic for him, but long story short, that hack does not appear
in the public release in any form.  It wasn't complete anyway. :\ Noob cancels
the Vs. screen instead, much like Motaro and Kahn do.
