Nikolai is a playable character in "The Mercenaries - Operation: Mad Jackal", a minigame for Resident Evil 3: Nemesis. Nikolai is best used by experts, as he is armed with only the SIGPro handgun and the Combat Knife. He also comes with three First Aid Sprays and a Blue Herb to balance this out, however. Most weapons will give +3 seconds bonus upon killing an enemy. However the knife gives +24 seconds, making it a valuable tool for earning time. It is recommended to wound an enemy first with the handgun, then finish it off with Nikolai's knife.
