3 - Intro -- #03

==============================================================================
Greetings, Gordon. I mean folks. I've decided to make this FAQ because I
wanted to do this. A while ago I (and CWall) posted a Swedish Zelda:
the Wind Waker FAQ/Walkthrough. But I was still hungry, so I did some MORE
FAQin. Yes, that sounds like a banned word (at least for small kids), but it
really isn't. Anyway, now into the game.
Before I continue, I want to say that this is my first English FAQ, so you
know. If you have any time left, please proof-read this entire file, and e-
mail me all the wrong spelling/grammars you encounter. Thank you.
I got this cool game in Lebanon a few years ago (believe me, it's very hard to
find games there). When I came home, I simply put the Metal Slug X CD into
the console and pressed 'ON'. And I enjoyed the game. Very much. Nothing
goes up to when you and a friend are playing together. This game actually
lacks news and such, but it contains action, action, action and (believe it
or not) ACTION. You are a guy (or a girl) and go on to stop the bad boy
Mitler. Yes, I call him so. Actually, I call him a child-forbidden word, but
Mitler is the second alternative. You go thru many, many of Mitlers men and
aliens and such, to finally kill Mitler and win the game. That isn't really
how it's going, but at least a bit. During you travels you'll find hostages
and items along the way. There are 6 missions, and there is more to unlock.
Fun, huh? Now, lets get started.
The current version is FINAL. I won't update it anymore. To find out why, check
the Version History, section 1.
_____
NOTE \
I have the Japanese Version, so you CAN'T ask me for any kind of
translations. While there IS English text in the game, it's still a lot
Japanese.
By the way, in the First Mission, you WILL see Arabic text
(or at least I think it is). That doesn't mean that your game is a Arabic-
version. It's not.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.1 Contact Info -- #031
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alright, if ya' wanna contact me or something, then my E-Mail is:
gehm1(at)hotmail(dot)com
Replace (at) with @ and (dot) with . and there you have my e-mail.
I've done this to keep myself protected from SPAM and such.
Remember, if you send E-Mail, you must set the subject as MSX or Metal Slug.
Don't talk to me as Homer Simpson. Don't be stupid. DON'T ask me things that
is already covered in this file. Make sure that you spelling is correct, or at
least understandable. I also know Swedish, so if you know that language, you
might also speak in Swedish.
If you know very good English, please read through my FAQ and send me a
E-Mail where you tell me to correct things. I would be very happy if you did
that. English is actually my third language.
Another choice is to add me on MSN Messenger. My MSN is just as above. Adding
me in MSN Messenger am much better, because we can then chat fast. Just tell
me who you are and why you added me. That's economics, folks!

4 - Basics -- #04
------------
==============================================================================
This is basically 'Before you Start', but I like to change stuff. Anyway, here
you find all the cool things that is good to learn before you start, including
all the weapons.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
4.1 Controls -- #041

the Options Menu in the beginning of da game.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
4.2 Characters -- #042
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are a total of 4 characters, two boys and two girls. It really doesn't
matter who you pick, just chose the one you think is the coolest. I myself
often play with the girls... Also, you might find other characters, that
might be your enemy. I list 'em to.
----------------------------
Starting Characters
----------------------------
There isn't really a difference between those 4. There is however two guys
and two girls. If you stay long without touching any button, your character
might do something funny...
Marco - He is blond. He looks so funny when you select him in Soldier Select.
Anyway, many people think that Marco is the best of all four. That
is not true, because all the characters are the same.
Eri - She is also blond, just like Marco. She looks pretty deadly in
Soldier Select... Be careful guys, because you have no chance on her.
Tarma - My favourite guy-character. He looks very cool, with his sunglasses
and his brown hair. Is this the new Men In Black ?
Fio - My favourite character of them all. She has ordinary glasses. Anyway,
she seems to be shorter than the others. And she has a cool cap on her
brown hair. Sexy right?
----------------------------
Other Helpful Characters
----------------------------
The Nurse - The Nurse might be helpful sometimes. Sometimes, you'll find her
running around. Shoot her to make her stop and drop something
good for you, like food and such.
Hostages - You'll find those guys very often. They are almost naked, and it
is hard to se their face because of all the beard that they have.
Anyway, shoot them to free them and run up to them. They will drop
something very useful for you, like a weapon.
----------------------------
Enemy Characters
----------------------------
Morden - Yeah, this is the bad guy that we're looking for. Leading a
"Mitler" great army of idiotic men, he search out to take over the world.
Haven't we heard of this before?
Allan - Really, this isn't Rambo, but he is almost like Rambo. Found in the
"Rambo" later stage, he wields a huge Machinegun. He is black, and he has
O'Neill no hair. Whenever you shoot him, he becomes more and more red,
meaning that he is angry and will soon die. Watch his dead scene,
because it's really cool (a killer whale comes to eat him up,
leaving a few bones).
Aliens - There isn't really a alien-leader that you can see. The 'leader' I
would think about are these white aliens, which are a bit harder
to kill. The ones in the spaceships have all the same color.
*update*
goldenworld informs that the aliens have a leader, but not in this
game. Instead, the leader appear in Metal Slug 3 (on PS2 and Arcade)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
4.3 Weapons -- #043
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Baby yeah!! This is what we are talking about. Here they are. Remember, those
weapons have limited ammo. You also have Grenades, that you can upgrade,
to for example Stone, but here, I'll say the weapons only. Note that the
letters between the [] is actually how you see the weapon in the game.
One more thing, sometimes, the letter between the [] is bigger than normal.
That means it's extra powerful. The Laser Gun for example is much better.
NOTE - I will give every weapon a rating from one 1 star to 5 stars (*****),
5 being the best. Also, if the letter between the [] is bigger than normal,
just add one star.
------------------------
Regular Pistol
------------------------
***/*****
This is you handgun. This pistol has infinitive ammo and you can keep
shooting the enemies how much you want. This is a solid gun, but not good for
the bosses.
------------------------
Katana
------------------------
****/*****
This is you sub-weapon. Whenever your character is close to the enemy, he/she
will kill the enemy with the Katana automatic. Pretty good.
------------------------
Heavy Machine Gun [H]
------------------------
****/*****
Now THIS is what we are REALLY talking about. This baby shoots everything.
Excellent against flying UFOs. Be aware of the ammo thought, it run out fast.
-----------------------
Enemy Chaser [C]
-----------------------
****/*****
As the name follows, this gun follows the enemy with large missiles. Very good
on hard-to-hit enemies. Just keep pressing the Shoot Button.
-----------------------
Rocket Launcher [R]
-----------------------
***/*****
This is a Rocket Launcher, alias Bazooka, which is excellent to use on those
hard tanks and bosses. Keeping fire with the missiles is just deadly. Seems
to be pretty slow though.
-----------------------
Laser Gun [L]
-----------------------
***/*****
May the Force be with the Laser Gun. This is the future. Fire a quick wave of
laser will surely destroy the enemy. Although it's very cool, I don't like
it very much, because is seems slow to me. But that just me.
----------------------
Flame Shot [F]
----------------------
***/*****
This is just like a Flamethrower. This will make all those stupid Egyptian
mummies cry their butt of. Keep in mind that the fire doesn't go for a long
distance.
NOTE - Is the name of this correct? Tell me if it isn't.
----------------------
Iron Lizard [I]
----------------------
***/*****
This is more like a Toy-weapon, but just as deadly as the others. This will
make you drop an explosive little 'car' that go straight in the direction you
are facing. Whenever it touches something, it blows it up. Very good against
those dog-mummies.
----------------------
Drop Shot [D]
----------------------
**/*****
I hate this weapon. All it do is to drop a cannonball that slowly goes in a
direction. It's good against tank, thought.
----------------------
Shot Gun [S]
----------------------
*****/*****
I LOVE this weapon. My favorite of them all. This is for sure the most
powerful weapon in the game (that you can use of course). Note that the
distance of the ammo is pretty short, but who cares anyway?
----------------------
Grenade Launcher [G]
----------------------
-No Rating. Why? Check below-
I've never had this before... My brother say that it actually IS there, and
he said that it's a Grenade Launcher. I think it throws grenades (what else?).
Know more info? Please contact me.
*update*
goldenworld informs that there actually IS a Grenade Launcher (which is called
Super Grenade by him/her). It's the second best weapon in the game, and
"it fires a big bullet that zooms straight forward and causes a big explosion,
but it won't go through soldiers or anything". Credit goes to goldenworld.
Still, I'm not going to rate it, because I haven't seen it.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
4.4 Vehicles -- #044
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here are the vehicles that you can use. All (except the Camel) have a life bar.
I think that every vehicle kan take 5 shoots. I'm not sure about it however.
Also, there is a Metal Slug Attack. Whenever you vehicle is glowing red ('cept
the Camel again), press [] (Square) and O (Circle). That will make the
vehicle bomb itself while you are going out. The vehicle will in Metal Slug
Attack damage the enemy.
NOTE -- Make sure the Metal Slug Attack is (Square) and (Circle) in the
Options Menu. Otherwise, you can change it like you wish.
NOTE 2 -- I will use my own name on these
NOTE 3 -- You use the VULCAN attack by pressing (Circle)
If you want, just press DOWN + X to jump out of the vehicle.
---------------
Arabic Camel
---------------
This isn't really a vehicle, but it might be good sometimes. Jump on it and
be Ali-Baba the mighty and kill your enemies. However, when you get shot, you
will get killed. This one has unlimited machinegun ammo.
VULCAN -
The Arabic Camel has no Vulcan attack, but if you press (Circle), your
character will throw a regular Grenade (if you have any).
---------------
Duck Tank
---------------
I call it Duck Tank because whenever you duck, you are like a duck (see the
pattern?). Anyway, jump in this hootie and kick you enemy's butt and make them
call for their mommies. You can fire unlimited blue machinegun shots in any
direction. Great, huh?
VULCAN -
The Duck Tank's Vulcan attack is simple. It's almost the same as a Drop Gun's
bullets, but smaller. Not so very popular, but pretty good.
---------------
Flying Fighter
---------------
First found in the Train Stage, this is extremely cool. The Flying Fighter
have an outstanding missile attack, which is very effective. Also, if I'm
correctly, the Flying Fighter can only be found in the Third Mission (which
is the Train Mission).
VULCAN -
The Flying Fighter's Vulcan attack is a missile that goes straight in a line.
This looks ultra-cool and it's very effective against other planes.
TRICK-
If you are playing with a pal, make your friend standing ON the Fighter
(when he got the Duck Tank) and both shoot the enemy. THE best combo so far.
Also, when you're getting shot, make sure that the shot hits you friend, so
you don't lose any life ^_^
-------------------
The Japanese Robot
-------------------
This slow machine might be good sometimes. Jump on it and kill those spider-
mans. Save the Grenades to the boss! Also, when you're hit, then you lose a
arm. Another hit, another lost arm. Now all you can do is to attack with
Grenades.
VULCAN -
The Japanese Robot's Vulcan attack is actually very effective. It drops
a little but nasty bomb right below itself. If it touch the ground, it
becomes a firewall of destruction. Also needed when you have lost both
arms. Greatly needed on the Fifth Missions boss.
==============================================================================
-------------------
5 - Tips and such -- #05
-------------------
==============================================================================
Here you'll find out tips and such that are with no doubt very good for you.
Although, if you are playing on PSX or Neogeo, all you haft to do is to
push START whenever you die.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.1 Tips -- #051
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------
- Save ammo -
-------------
If you one meet one single enemy and have a for example Heavy Machinegun,
then get close to the enemy and use you Katana on him/her/it. This might also
work for aliens (Or UFOs, whatever...), but you might get killed. Just don't
waste you ammo on nothing.
-----------
- Hostage -
-----------
You will find hostages around the missions. Try to save as many as possible.
To the bottom of the screen you'll find out how many you have rescued.
Note- Sometimes, you'll find a special hostage. He follows you until he dies.
What he does it to use Hadoken (from Street Fighter) to destroy the enemy.
He has a special name, that is Lt. Hyakutaro Ichimonji (thanks to
Orochi K/Kertra).
----------
- Bosses -
----------
Learn the bosses pattern to easy kill them. Focus on destroying their weapons
to make the thing easier. Try to use the big guns and not just your Handgun.
Use your Grenades wisely. Se section below for more strategies.
---------------------
- Metal Slug Attack -
---------------------
Whenever you're in a vehicle (except the Arabic Camel), press [] (Square) and
O (Circle) to perform the Metal Slug Attack. This attack damages the enemy.
Remember, whenever you use it, you'll jump out of you vehicle. Also, use this
when you vehicle is blinking red (which means it's going to get destroyed).
-------------------
- Big Status Mode -
-------------------
Try to collect as much food as possible. When you have gotten much food,
your character will go into Big Status Mode, which means simply that you
will be fat. Now don't think it's bad, because this makes your weapons a lot
stronger and somewhat different than before.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.2 Other Things -- #052
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------
- Mummy -
---------
In second mission, you might be a mummy when you get touched by those purple
gas that the mummies send out. You can now only have the Handgun, and you
will get slower. To be normal, just take a Antidote or kill yourself :P
You can't take another gun than your Handgun, but if you take a weapon, you
will get 1000 points.
---------
- Begin -
---------
Whenever you start a new mission, you can shoot to make yourself to the ground
instead of waiting for the parachute to come down all the way. This isn't
necessary, nor a useful thing.
----------
- Killed -
----------
Try to not being killed too much :) Avoid the enemies’ weapons and kill them
whenever you can. If it's Game Over for you, just press START. As a reward,
you'll get a Heavy Machinegun too.
----------
- Katana -
----------
Whenever you're in Big Status Mode, your katana is changed to a boxning glove
or even a spoon (not sure about that). Pretty funny!
-------------
- Animation -
-------------
If you're standing still with a character, doing nothing, the character will
then do a special animation, depending on which character you have choosen.
One is, for example, drinking beer or whatever it is.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.3 Odd Things -- #053
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------
- First -
---------
In the first mission, when you're coming down, you can see an alien in the
background. Oh, and speaking of the first mission, as you progress, it
will become lighter until it's day. You start in the night, ya' know.
--------------
- Affair Men -
--------------
Sometimes, you might find some strange lawyers or whatever they are. You
can for example found one or two in the first mission. Sometimes, they don't
care about you and keep standing there, or they sometimes run away from you.
-----------
- Handgun -
-----------
You know that you can fire infinitive with your Handgun, without stop. But
when you stop, you will reload you Handgun. It seems that everytime you DON'T
shoot, you will reload automatically.
==============================================================================
----------
6 - Item -- #06

7 - Bosses -- #07
------------
==============================================================================
Here, you'll find all the bosses. Also the mini-bosses if founded here. But
the smaller 'bosses', like some copters, aren't found here. That's up to
you to find out :)
NOTE -- I use my own name on the bosses
NOTE 2 -- I will give the bosses a difficulty rating, from 1 to 10, 10
being the hardest.
NOTE 3 -- For long names (ex. Three Towers) I will shorten them (in this
case, TT)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
7.1 First Mission -- #071
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Minibosses
-----------------------
Three Towers - 2/10
-----------------------
Attacks:
-Fire missiles
This is very easy, just because you'll get a [C] (Enemy Chaser).
When the TT begins to shoot, just aim up with your [C] and let your finger
go warm. When you’re out of ammo, maybe the Tower in the middle has been
destroyed. Anyway, shoot the remaining Towers with your Handgun with a few
shoots and you've completed this boss. Watch out for the missiles that the
TT sends out by jumping. Also, some of Mitlers man might come crawling, trying
to knife you. If you have the Enemy Chaser, try to not waste ammo on them.
Instead, go near them and press Attack/Shoot button to knife them.
Bosses
-----------------------
Ali-Babas babe - 2/10
-----------------------
Attacks:
-Fire slow red shots
-Fire missiles
-Fire a blue flamethrower
This mighty big Machine is leaded by Ali-Baba (that you can find beside the
machine). For the first, you should have a Duck Tank. For the second, you
should have great ammo with Heavy Machinegun. For the third, there is a
hostage nearby that gives you a [R] (Rocket Launcher). Possibly, you might
have a Camel instead of the Duck Tank, but that is stupid.
Anyway, whack away the front shell with heavy firepower. It will now come
a blue-flamethrower that fires blue fire or something. Anyway, shoot it and
it will eventually be destroyed. It will now come three hostages. Hurry up
and get them, because one disappears after a while. One gives you a Heavy
Machinegun. Now (assuming that your Duck Tank is destroyed), stand under the
Machine and fire up all the time. Missiles will come to try killing you. Just
duck to avoid them and this will be over in no time.

7.2 Second Mission -- #072
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bosses
----------------------------
Great-Machine-Dragon - 6/10
----------------------------
Attacks:
-Hung Bite
-Plasma Ball
This guy actually packs a punch. Standing on an extremely long tower (without
end), you must fight a GMD that is hunting you. You should be in a Japanese
Robot, along with LOTS of Heavy Machinegun ammo. The Japanese Robots Vulcan
attack is very useful here. Anyway, You must shoot and jump as high as you
can on the Tower. Make sure to use the Japanese Robot's Vulcan Attack before
it will be destroyed. Along the way, you might find one or two [R] (Rocket
Launcher), so use them and your Grenades wisely.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
7.3 Third Mission -- #073
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Minibosses
---------------------
Huge Plane - 2/10
---------------------
Attacks:
-It's motorgas at the sides
-Throwing cannon balls
-Throwing tanks
You will find a Huge Plane come down from the skies. This is pretty easy.
Just aim up and shoot the plane. Watch out for the cannon balls it throws,
and it also throws the tank itself (!). Watch out for it. And don't bother
trying to go thru those gas is sends out. It's possible, but very dumb.
Also, when the plane is hovering down to you, don't shoot it, because it won't
get damaged. Just wait until it's down to the train, and the begin shooting.
Bosses
---------------------
Rifle Scorpion - 7/10
---------------------
Attacks:
-Taking out it's Machinegun, and fire small bullets in all directions
-Taking out it's Machinegun, and fire great bullets in groups of three
-Going down and crush everything below it
-Taking out it's Flamethrower, and fire fire
-Shooting up small fireballs, that comes down to kill you
The hardest boss yet. For the first, you should have either a Flying Fighter
or a Duck Tank. For the second, the hostages and the Nurse comes to give you
weapons when you need it.
Use one of your vehicles until it destroys (don't forget the Metal Slug
Attack) and the use as much firepower that you can. Try to avoid it's
attack, and use your Grenades. DON'T stand under it, thinking it's good,
because it will sometimes coming down to kill you. I really can't recommend
you to do anything, just do your best, and use your vehicles Vulcan attack.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
7.4 Fourth Mission -- #074
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bosses
---------------------
Ground Boat - 8/10
---------------------
Attacks:
-Great Bullet
-Smaller bullets
This massive machine is just as strong as the Rifle Scorpion, if not stronger.
I really hope that you have a Duck Tank right now, because you will need it.
First, make sure to destroy the 6 smaller cannons that is on the side of the
boat. Now that was easy wasn't it? Now, the BIG cannon comes. It will aim
at you, and fire a Great Bullet against you. Make sure you avoid it. It's
hard, especially with the Tank, but anyway... Sometimes, you will encounter
some tall towers. Now, jump on them and do massive damage on the Boat. Make
sure to jump off when a Great Bullet is chasing after you. Good luck.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
7.5 Fifth Mission -- #075
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bosses
----------------------
Sewers Machine - 6/10
----------------------
Attacks:
-It drops 5 red balls against you
-It drop blue balls, from 5 to 1 ball directly at you
-Fire a wave of laser against you
Now, really, you should have the Japanese Robot, because you'll need it, I'm
telling you. If you have it, just fire it's Vulcan Attack for the first, and
then it's regular attack. Anyway, try to avoid its balls and laser, and throw
all your Grenades at this, and this fight should be over in no time (assuming
that you have a Rocket Launcher from the beginning).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
7.6 Final Mission -- #076
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Minibosses
--------------------
Rambo - 8/10
--------------------
Attacks:
-Using his Machinegun
-Kill you with his sword
-Throwing Grenades (not sure about it thought)
Now this is the hardest mini-boss and one of the hardest bosses. This isn't
really Rambo, but he is almost like him. Make sure to not shoot him when he
is laughing at you. As you attack him more and more, he will become more and
more red, meaning that he is more aggressive than before (like The Hulk).
Anyway, do your best, and use full firepower and he will soon die. Watch this
awesome dead scene, where a killer whale eat him up, leaving a few bones.
Scary, huh?
===========================| SPOILER WARNING |================================
----------- Scene ------------
When you are finally meeting Mitler (while he is on his Tank), a pair of
Aliens come to capture Mitler into their little ball. Now, you must fight
the aliens AND Mitler, it seems (because of the X-sign on the ball).
*update*
goldenworld says that the reason why you are fighting the aliens and not
Mitler is because the aliens and Mitler had a contract togheter, but now the
aliens have broken it (don't ask me why) and thus you shall now fight the
aliens and HELP Mitler instead. That is also why Mitlers men come and help
you in the next battle. Credit goes to goldenworld.
----------- End Scene --------
===========================| SPOILER WARNING |================================
Bosses
---------------------------
Final Boss Part One - 8/10
---------------------------
Attacks:
-Fire a quick wave of plasma against you
-Drops a wall of plasmaballs
-Drop out aliens spaceships, that attacks you
Looking like a big, ugly ball, Mitler will now come and try to kill you
forever. He gets in the ball, and becomes ready to fight. Anyway, just avoid
his Plasma attack and destroy all the aliens before attacking the ball
again. If you want, just stand on the little house and throw all your
Grenades. Hard, because of all the aliens spaceship.
===========================| SPOILER WARNING |================================
---------- Scene ------------
Now that this ball is almost destroyed, it put itself in on a much bigger
spaceship (look at the Art Gallery to see how big it is). Now, thou, must
fight the Aliens Spaceship, along with Mitlers men.
---------- End Scene --------
===========================| SPOILER WARNING |================================
---------------------------
Final Boss Part Two - 9/10
---------------------------
Attacks:
-Charges up a great plasma wave, to release it in the middle.
-Dropping out alien’s spaceships, that attacks you
NOTE - If there are more attacks, please tell me
Now this is the ultimate battle. You must, with the help of Mitlers men,
destroy the huge alien spaceship and rescue Mitler (?). To start this of,
you must move much. The house were you could stand on before and throw
Grenades are now destroyed, so this will be harder. Make sure to take cover
in the Tanks of Mitler, so that the Tank gets destroyed instead of you.
You will get a Duck Tank yourself, and another Hoboken hostage is there to
help you. Also, you will get a lot of [H] and maybe some [C] and [R]. Now,
with all this, shouldn't this be easy? No it isn't, because of those damn
aliens that come out of the big spaceship. Try to destroy them first, and then
destroy the big spaceship. Good luck, you'll need it!
