2. Fight Heihachi’s Tekken Forces on your way to the Mishima Fortress. 
3. Defeat Heihachi three times.
4. Enter the Underground stage to fight Dr. Bosconovitch.

How to Unlock Gon

You can unlock Gon, a character from Hunter × Hunter, in just a few steps. Gon can only be unlocked after you meet a few requirements. To be more specific, you need to unlock Ball Mode first.

1. Select Arcade Mode and beat the game ten times with different characters. Thereafter, the Ball Mode should be available in the main menu.
2. Choose Ball Mode and defeat Gon in combat to unlock him as a character in all the modes in Tekken 3. Enter “GON” when prompted for initials. 

Our Final Say

All the other characters can be unlocked in Ball Mode even if they’re locked in the other modes. You can also use GameShark to unlock all the hidden characters in Tekken 3.
