So, Mortal Kombat II Special by Hummer Team has the same music as Hummers' MK1 port, except for the character selection music. More specifically, it is based on the MK1 SNES port.
Mortal Kombat 3 Super Game music is based on the Sega Genesis MK3 port.
What's interesting is that some music tracks are so heavily rearranged that it is very difficult to find the original it's based on.
Here are the NSF files I've used. If some of you would like to help with my comparison, you should use these since I name the NES tracks by their number in an NSF file.

Let's start with MKII Special.
Track 1 is obviously the Title tune from MK1:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLShhxspKvE (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLShhxspKvE)
minus the character selection music in the video
Track 2 is the character selection theme from MK2:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UbW_tZOqqUc (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UbW_tZOqqUc)
it is also the only MK2 track used
Track 3 is Battle Plan:

Track 4 is High Score theme

Track 5 is Courtyard

Track 6 is the first problem track. I could be either Warrior Shrine:

or The Pit:

Track 7 is Ending Theme:

Track 8: I have no clue what it's based on and need help
Track 9 is Palace Gates judging by the bass line in the latter:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCDu9r2lDFU (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCDu9r2lDFU)
Track 10: I don't know really. It doesn't even sound like a MK music. Need help here.
Tracks 11. 12 and 13 are just jingles and are not interesting.
Let's check Mortal Kombat 3 Super Game/
Track 1 is Title Theme:

Track 2 is a heavily rearranged Soul Chamber:

Track 3 is Character selection theme:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UeIOnaCwpSQ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UeIOnaCwpSQ)
Track 4 is some jingle I have no clue about.
Track 5 is The Subway:

Track 6 is Shao Kahn Tower:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85tR6The4I8 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85tR6The4I8)
Track 7 is Pit 3:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnIlJAAhNjE (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnIlJAAhNjE)
Track 8 is my favorite in the game and is a real mystery. It has some feel of Soul Chamber, and could be yet another version of it, but the tune is too different.
Track 9 is also a mystery but it doesn't sound like MK music at all. Also I don't know where does it play in the game.
So that's all, any additions and corrections will be appreciated. Help me if you can guys :)

Track 9 in MK3 (Super Game) is unused as far as I know.
...Track 5 was the Subway theme? I can hear it now but geez, whoever did Super Game's music does a pretty terrible job porting the music over. (usually it's not bad but it doesn't sound much like the original when it is based off of it)
