How to Unlock All Abilities on "Shaolin Monks"

"Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks" is an action-adventure game for PlayStation 2 and Xbox that includes numerous unlockables, including game modes, characters and abilities. Unlike most "Mortal Kombat" games "Shaolin Monks" focuses primarily on an adventure mode, allowing players to unlock characters for the arcade mode by progressing through the story. Each ability allows the character to reach or access new areas, allowing progress in the story. Often, new abilities aren't obtainable until another is unlocked, making it impossible to skip content.

Abilities

Unlock the Fist of Ruin. Defeat Kitana in the Wu Shi Academy and grab the power-up coin. Fist of Ruin allows players to smash through statues and other such objects.

Unlock the Wall Run. Return to the area of the Wu Shi Academy with the aqueducts and fire and run along the top of the wall until a statue blocks the path. Use the Fist of Ruin to smash through the statues. Locate the Wall Run coin in the new area. Wall Run allows the character to run along walls.
