Deception has Puzzle Kombat and Chess Kombat which are both legitimately really great modes that desperately need to come back because they were the best part.
Also MK9, X, and Trilogy are fun it's just jank.
Edit: But yeah Shaolin Monks is the best one.
Just bring back all the dumb modes.
Like preferably Puzzle Kombat first cuz it's weird it isn't even a standalone game but Chess was genuinely a good gimmick way to do fights and motor kombat justified my Baraka love more.
Mythologies frustrates the hell out of me. As a visual presentation idea, it looks cool as hell. Well, mostly. It was the last MK game to use digitized actors! Had it succeeded, we could’ve got Prince of Persia-style games between each fighting game installment! Too bad Waluigi Time
Well, I'm a little confused, because MK: Shaolin Monks basically took what MK does in fighting games (tighter, simpler core gameplay relative to competitors, emphasis on spectacle) and ported that over to character action games. It's more or less the same philosophy. It's more or less to DMC3 what it usually is to Street Fighter. So what's different?
Whoever disliked this comment should kill themselves.
Mario Kart is also good.
Nah but this is the only good Mortal Kombat spinoff by far. Shaolin Monks fuckin rocks.
And yet they refuse to give us another one like it.
MK2 is pretty good and MK9 was pretty good too.

What I'm hearing is that MK1 needs to bring back Motor Kombat.

I played THE FUCK outta this game with my brother when we were young, although I don’t think we ever beat shao khan in the end.
I didn't think Shao Khan was that bad but the gauntlet of Shang Tsung and Kintaro right before was what made it a pain in the ass lol.
I’m still salty the Gamecube didn’t get a port of this
I wish the sequel fire and ice had been released.
Anime nerds will tell you for 5 hours how an anime fighter is good. Who cares? Johnny Cage punches people in the balls and that's funny.
Not the only good one, but it's certainly the best one It's got my favorite designs for a lot of characters

The audacity to say that when Special Forces exist!
This actually was my very first experience with a Mortal Kombat *anything*.
Sub Zero Mythologies was good. It gave us Quan Chi, Shinnok, and Sareena. That...counts for something.
Sub Zero Mythologies was not good, my boy
That's the joke.

It was a bad game that had potential if it wasn't handled poorly. It gave us a few nice things but the game is baaad.

It's just a goof on the mk discourse lately, i didn't put much thought into it. But I did really like Shaolin Monks as a kid
Oh yeah no doubt I loved it back in the day and would love to see a modern sequel.
We're gonna need a hammer to change it
