He can only be seen in the attraction video. You cannot play as him.
And here's the pic:

BTW, the letters on the energy bar are meant to be like that. Rain was probably just a joke back then, since Ed Boon likes Prince, Prince sings "Purple Rain" and... you get the picture.

You know something? I never noticed the connection to the Prince song until you said it.

Man, I feel like a moron. @_@

Yeah, I got a kick out of it when I heard from an interview that he was a huge prince fan. Purple Rain. Wow. Some day I hope to be able to put my own obscure personal jokes into games that thousands of people will play.

I always found his altered energy bar text interesting. Is it like that because it was easier to put a solid color image in then an image with multiple colors (and slanting the text would require multiple colors to anti-alias it a bit) or if its like drawn by the arcade machine on the fly.

The "Rain can be found in the Graveyard" message was activated by a kombat kode. It's also an inside joke at Prince's expense, as his career is asically dead.
Rain is playable in the home versions of UMK3, and Trilogy.

I always wondered why it showed Rain fighting Kahn on the Lost/Ermac's Portal/Scisslac Busorez stage.



Ka-Tra

Yes me too, can someone show me the video?

You mean a clip of him fighting?

He's not playable in arcade alright. But he was playable in SNES, Genesis and Saturn.

no i mean the attraction of umk3 with Rain in it

No, actually, he was not playable on Saturn, because as I recall, Saturn UMK3 was a port of the Arcade Version with Classic Sub-Zero, Mileena and Ermac as hidden characters, not the Genesis/SNES version with Noob Saibot and Rain in it as playables as well as the other 3.
