YMMV: Mortal Kombat Defenders Of The Realm
  • Big Lipped Alligator Moment: At a point of Sting of the Scorpion, Sub-Zero faces a giant snake that has nothing to do with Scorpion's undead army. Justified because they are in Outworld, where danger is at each corner.
  • Ensemble Darkhorse: People generally liked the version of Raiden in this show.
  • Fanon Discontinuity: Not towards the show itself, but this cartoon's existence makes Mortal Kombat: Annihilation easier to ignore, due to the cartoon taking place after the first movie while disregarding the second.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: The Sub-Zero/Smoke episode, two-fold. One flashback shows Sektor and Cyrax as humans, with Sektor as a large black man and Cyrax as a white man. Just reverse their races and the cartoon just nearly called it right.
    • Furthermore, Sub-Zero's "MK 3" costume in Mortal Kombat 9 actually looks more like the Lin Kuei uniform he wears in one flashback of the very same episode as well.
    • One of MK 9's missions in the Challenge tower is named "It's Kombat Time!" and you play it as Sonya...
  • Memetic Mutation: Jax was the fattest kid in school.
  • Narm Charm: The animation is crappy, the dialog is sometimes stupid and there are lots of really weird things (portal closing device in a police baton?), but there is something charming about this cartoon.
  • Never Live It Down: Jax having been a fat kid was a thing of one episode, yet it's the thing most people remembers about the series version of the character.
  • Too Good to Last: Ran only for a single 13-episode season, even though it might have been the plan.
  • What Do You Mean, It's for Kids?: Bet you would never think they could make a Saturday morning cartoon out of an ultraviolent video game series, huh.
  • What The Hell, Casting Agency?: Luke Perry of Beverly Hills 90210 fame as Sub-Zero. He looks like the coolest character and the series' equivalent of the Wolverine. Then he starts talking.
