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.

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.
