Death by Adaptation: Jade, Goro, Baraka, Reptile, Ermac, Kano, Scorpion, Shang Tsung, Kintaro and finally, Shao Kahn.Compilation Rerelease: Mortal Kombat Kollection, which shipped this game alongside Mortal Kombat: Deception and Mortal Kombat: Armageddon.The game also adopted Kung Lao's outfit here as his standard, and a minor plot point of him sneaking into the first tournament disguised as a guard.Canon Discontinuity: Mortal Kombat 9 doesn't make any direct references to Shaolin Monks in the story, aside of a small nod, and seems to use the "original" versions of MK1 and MK2's stories instead, but several of the Challenge Tower missions are directly based on parts of the game.
But Thou Must!: In the battle against Kitana, Mileena, and Jade, it doesn't matter which one you hit with the Fatality stunner, Jade is always the one killed. Ermac can also be challenged in the Warrior Shrine, and a return trip to the Living Forest and exploring the previously unreachable treetops can get you a second fight with Mileena. Doing so results in Kano's death & Jax arriving to take Sonya back to Earthrealm, which'll also leave you an extra health item to use in the final boss fights otherwise they remain in the background of the arena. Bonus Boss: The player has the option of fighting Kano before leaving to fight Shao Kahn. You can also add Kano in there if you choose to fight him. Boss Bonanza: The final section of the game sees you fight Shang Tsung, Kintaro, and Shao Kahn all in a row. His plan never gets very far as he's killed by Liu Kang and Kung Lao before he has the chance to even try, implying he didn't have a chance of success regardless. Big Bad Wannabe: Shang Tsung, much like the main series. Badass in Distress: Sonya is kidnapped by Baraka after the Tournament and by the end of the game, both Johnny Cage and Katana have been captured and can be found in cells just before the final battle with Shao Kahn. Animal-Themed Fighting Style: Liu Kang's fighting styles in this game are Dragon and Monkey Kung Fu. Adaptational Jerk Ass: The same Kung Lao who was once a humble warrior who did not seek the spotlight is now an honour obsessed, ill-tempered Jerk Jock who endlessly teases Liu Kang about Kitana, not to mention buying into Shang Tsung's scheme.
