Missing Areas


Hats off to 이지우 (Lee Jiwoo) for unearthing the debug menu! See the debug menu page for details on how to access it.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, Metal Slug XX's level select is largely identical to Metal Slug 7, with leftovers as our only unused content. Boo.

TEST STAGE
FOR 1-01スクラップ シマ 1
Scrap Island 1		Identical to normal 1:1 stage.

5:6 Ruins Base Inside 6

A leftover from Metal Slug 7; a horizontal tunnel (the same map used for 5:7) filled with soldiers and the occasional enemy vehicle. Seemingly unchanged from last time, complete with slow-motion motorbikes, though the MV-280 jeeps are now invisible... except for their rockets and firing effects.

6:6 Snowy Country Stronghold 6

A totally black screen; exiting to the right leads to the boss fight with Allen O'Neill. Another MS7 leftover; it may not look it, but you're actually piloting the Slug Gigant on this screen!
Metal Slug XX appears to only load graphics that are intended to appear in that area. Using the level select to take the Slug Gigant or other vehicles out of their usual stages will render them totally invisible, but otherwise functional. This probably explains the invisible jeeps in 5:6.

9:D Combat School Special 4-4

Surprise, it's another dumb leftover! An empty duplicate of the Mission 4 boss arena with an invisible platform in the lower-left.
