Metal Slug 3
Unlock Two Levels:
------------------
Complete the game to unlock Storming the Mothership and Chubby Isle Paradiso.
Hidden Areas In Stage 1:
------------------------
Near the beginning of the first stage, you will see a submarine floating in a
pool of water. Hold Down to walk into this area and hop into the sub to go to
an underwater part of the stage. The next hidden area is at the part where the
boat is located. Instead of getting on it, hop onto the ledge above it to find
a secret hatch. Go inside to enter a cave-like part of the stage. Note: Every
time you complete a secret area, you will go directly to the Crab Boss --- you
cannot go in both hidden areas during the same turn.
Helper Monkey:
--------------
Throughout the game you will find a wooden crate containing a monkey wielding
a gun who will help you fight enemies. Note: Do not rely on the monkey helping
all the time. Sometimes he will stop to pick his nose and do other things.
Hidden Area In Stage 2:
-----------------------
The level containing the zombies has a secret and unique area. About the end
of the middle part of the level, you will see a sign above a frozen-shut cave
reading "ICEMAN". Walk to the left to go over here and shoot the ice wall
blocking the entrance. Inside are numerous "ice men" and at the end of the
cave is a buried Elephant Slug, frozen in the ground which you can free and ride.
Get Thunder Cloud In Stage 2:
-----------------------------
In the stage with the zombies, you can get the very helpful Thunder Cloud.
Around the middle of the level, you will see a spot on a low area of ground
where two prisoners are next to a man in a business suit. Hold Down/Forward
to crawl down to this area and save them. Note: Enemies cannot get you down here.
When you rescue the man in the suit, he will pull out a cell phone and call over
two bodyguards with suitcases which contain a gold coin and the Thunder Cloud.
To use it, just shoot your gun when the cloud hovers over an enemy.
Cure Zombie Or Mummy Status:
----------------------------
To turn back from a zombie to a human, use the Med-Kit item found in enemies or
boxes. To turn back from a mummy to a human, find the bottle of Holy Water found
in enemies or boxes.
Completion Bonuses:
-------------------
Successfully complete and save the game on the normal difficulty setting to
unlock the "Chubby Isle Paradiso" (Fat Island) and "Storming The Mothership"
(UFO) options at the main menu.
