What kind of a PC are we talking about? MK9 is by today's standards not really a demanding game. As far as I know it can even run on some integrated GPUs.There are of course limits. I myself do not know of a way to remove the stuff you asked.

The best you could do without much work is to reduce the game's screen resolution. I think that the lowest resolution you could get in the options menu is something like 800x600.
Nevertheless the game can be adjusted to even lower resolutions by manually setting the high and wide in its respective file inside the appdata folder.
To access to this file you would need to be able to see the hidden files of your pc (google it) and then go to C/Users/"your user name"/appdata/roaming/
Once inside the roaming folder look for some folder related to MKKE and open it.
There you will find a file which you would open with notepad. Adjust the resolution there. The lowest setting you can establish by the way is 500x400, more or less (just mess around it). Then save the file.
You will also need to set it as a Read-Only file by right clicking on it and going to properties. This will avoid the game to alter the changes you just made.

It is obvious that you will have to set the video options inside the game options to their minimum too, as you said.

There are also ways to "remove" the backgrounds if you still need it, that would help too.
There's even a third option you can take by adjusting the game frame rate that by default it runs at 60Hz. You can alter it so it runs at lower frequencies instead, though this would remove some of the game's fluency.

These three options are the lowest you can go in terms of settings when you try to run this game in a low-end pc.

Note: I assume your game is already running, but with difficulties. As Gambid said, there are limits. If the tips i gave you still do not help you, then shamefully there's nothing you can do except to update your hardware.

Hello, just made an account to ask about this subject. I want to test benchmarking with as many tweaks as I can gather and I'm unable to find any tweak to remove the gpu stressful backgrounds. Could you please elaborate on that tweak?

I am not sure what you mean. If it is programming stuff then I may not be of much help, sorry.

Oh no, it's not about programming itself, I just don't seem to find any information on how to "remove" the backgrounds as you mentioned

oh yes. You can replace the stages with the bio viewer one, which is all black. You can do that with the help of generic renamer tool. Rename that bioviwer stage to "the pit" for example and then replace the original "the pit" stage. Dont forget to activate the "Background Hash" for that.
This is not an actual background removal but a stage swap.
