The player can only perform Super Special Moves in MAX mode or when the life gauge is near empty and flashing red.

After the gauge is filled, the player enters MAX mode and like in Advanced, their character's offense and defense will increase. Like in those games, the player fills the Power Gauge by charging it or defending against the opponent 's attacks. Įxtra mode is based on the first two games in the series, KOF '94 and KOF '95.
