Players can chain together a series of hits into 'combos' for increased damage, with some combos requiring a specific, memorized sequences of button presses. Players fight with a six-button setup: three punch buttons and three kick buttons, similar to the controls in Street Fighter II. While the characters move and attack on a 2D plane, the background is depicted in pre-rendered 3D and gives the appearance of depth. Like other entries in the Killer Instinct series, two characters controlled by humans or artificial intelligence fight in one-on-one matches to deplete their opponent's health meter. Killer Instinct Gold is a port of the arcade fighting video game Killer Instinct 2. This time there is no tournament or prize money, just a fight to the finish with the fate of the future hanging in the balance. Others, like new character Tusk, want to bring an end to Gargos and his reign of evil. Some fighters, like returning fighter T.J. Each character that survived the journey from the first game have corresponding backstories, while new characters in this installment are native inhabitants of this past time period. Now, trapped 2000 years in the past, the warriors that survived Killer Instinct, along with several new faces, fight for the right to face Gargos in combat. Eyedol's death at the hands of Black Orchid accidentally sets off a time warp, transporting some of the combatants back in time and allowing the Demon Lord Gargos (Eyedol's opponent) to escape from Limbo.

Killer Instinct Gold follows on where the first installment left off. The Gold release adds a training mode, new camera views, and improved audiovisuals. Killer Instinct Gold includes the arcade release's characters, combos, and 3D, pre-rendered environments, but excludes its full-motion video sequences and some voiceovers due to restrictions of the cartridge media format. Characters-including a gargoyle, a ninja, and a femme fatale-fight in settings such as a jungle and a spaceship. Large combo successions lead to stronger attacks and brutal, stylistic finisher moves underscored by an announcer. Players press buttons to punch and kick their opponent in chains of successive hits, known as combos. As in other series entries, players control characters who fight on a 2D plane set against a 3D background. The game was developed by Rare and released by Nintendo for the Nintendo 64 video game console. Killer Instinct Gold is a 1996 fighting video game based on the arcade game Killer Instinct 2.
