THE CHARACTER IS UNUSED TRUE Well, durr. He never shows up in any of the missions, nor is he reinstated in the console ports. He is not mentioned or alluded to in any official Metal Slug materials, and he is only visible in one piece of concept art. Indeed, the only two places in the game he shows up are in the sprite viewer, and in an unused area likely used for testing enemy code. THE CHARACTER'S CODING IS COMPLETE UNDETERMINED Kind of arguable, I guess. Aside from a wonky projectile and an unsuitable area to test him in, he otherwise acts like he should - he protects you from behind with short-range explosives. He doesn't quite have the finesse of Hyakutaro's behaviour, [but it's not like he's glitching the game with his presence or anything. there's certainly been worse power-ups in the series.] THE CHARACTER'S NAME IS GLEN ACHILLES FALSE No! No no no! No! Totally wrong! Incorrect! Nada! Zippo! As aforementioned, the guy's never had a mention in any official material and goes unnamed in his sole concept art appearance. Unlike Hyakutaro, Rumi and others, he doesn't have a unique identifier during the prisoner tally screen - his image doesn't appear nor does he have a set, unchanging name. THE CHARACTER LIKES DANCING WHAT ARE YOU EVEN DOING THIS IS NOT THE METAL SLUG WIKI YOU CAN'T JUST MAKE SHIT UP GET OUT OF HERE === === === === TRYING TO MAKE THE SCREEN SCROLL because there's HIDDEN STUFF on screens... http://blog.naver.com/PostList.nhn?blogId=ssk5108&from=postList&categoryNo=38 http://blog.naver.com/shot6459 ADDRESSES ---(VIEW) [seems to control both X/Y coordinates] 0088C1F8 or 0288C1F8 ---player position 0087FB24 if value = 196097 FREE-FALL MODE === === === ===130774 GRAPHICS OFFSETS 252 marco fat with 2smg 2606 marco sneaky 10879 marco with 2smg 17249 tarma fat with 2smg 19726 tarma sneaky 34257 eri sneaky 51253 fio sneaky 68249 gasmask soldier 70909 bandana soldier 74717 sniper soldier 76523 officer soldier 77772 cultist soldier 79037 gasmask soldier - bike 79835 bandana soldier - bike 80633 girida-o 83530 truck 84328 big tank 85518 long helicopter 86610 round helicopter 87408 plane 88215 robot 92383 robot mask 93615 robot w/ claws 95610 hoverjet 96212 robot w/ chainguns 98914 hoverbike 99418 native pillar 100006 flame from wall 100216 native 102953 black hound 105192 hover beetle 107338 apc truck 108934 enemy slug1 109620 enemy slug2 110377 squat tank 111567 missile tank 112771 mission 3 boss 126196 speedboat enemy 126980 UNUSED big jelylfish 128982 static jellyfish 130284 medium jellyfish 130774 tiny jellyfish 131082 submarine 131978 player shots + rockets 144914 soldiers working on machinery 145572 van truck 155375 UNUSED no gun icon 155943 mission 4 boss 158435 mission 1 boss 175739 mission 2 boss 184335 UNUSED old man on pillar boss 207937 UNUSED old man on pillar boss 208735 pow 212613 metal slug 231359 slug flyer 233242 marine slug 234325 car slug 236279 UNUSED car slug spinning 237575 slug gunner 244729 glasses pow 245930 UNUSED glen achilles 246532 UNUSED stone turtle 250732 elephant boss 251824 spider slug 256626 UNUSED weird zombie players 259384 credits 261050 big gate/wall 266240 slime stuff?? 268690 UNUSED wooden bridge 268870 UNUSED rumi in jet 280686 squid 281484 diver soldier 283486 bandana soldier w/ shield 483624 UNUSED cog bg === === === === CREDITS - STAFF - PRODUCER MOON DIRECTOR MOON Heehaw SUB DIRECTOR UNDO T.HAGIHARA MAIN PROGRAMMER UNDO SUB PROGRAMMER ICK WORK RAM OIDON CHARACTER DESIGNER RINKN EGLAVR SHIO SHIO AKR+AMK GENIES KUBOTA JYAGADANSYAKU TOAD YUKA BACKGROUND DESIGNER MIYUKI.O MIYAVI REIKO.N SAYURI M MISAO YOSHIDA KENTA SOUND PRODUCED STUDIO AQUA TITLE DESIGN NAOHISA SPECIAL THANKS T.YAMADA SEISHIROU ALL SNK PLAYMORE STAFF & ALL METAL SLUG STAFF PRESENTED BY SNK PLAYMORE
