This leads to the final area before the boss, 3:4. Originally, you are to spawn a bit further back to show a room of a group of robots deploying (the same seen at the end of the area, only longer) as evidenced by the pre-release videos, though that appears to have been cut as well.Īs a result, your spawn point is moved further forward and the room in the final, while still available, needs some camera trickery to see it proper.Ī short tunnel area with gas mask soldiers dropping down from the upper floor. The end of the path will lead to 3:6, though you will have to ditch the Augensterm first. The path starts off with a waiting Augensterm, with several enemies as you progress in this unused tunnel area. You're stuck on it even after destroying the helicopter, however. This spawns you at the waterfall in Mission 1, directly to your death and later respawning on the raft. It's possible this was to be a continuation of the final room (1:5), which ends with a similar two-tiered layout. At the end the path leads to the boss fight (1:9). The horizontal axis can be edited using the first two and last two numbers, and the vertical axis with the center four.Īn empty tunnel with the upper floor lacking collision. To scroll the camera with Cheat Engine: enter area 1:3, search for hex value 00001000, then enter area 2:2. The tunnel boundaries can be seen with VIEW GEO SCROLL active, but the tunnel ends in an invisible wall as it does not have an exit coded to it. While this area is actually used being the very second screen of the game, it actually has a hidden alternate path at the end, hidden by a floor sprite. They all use the underground subway stage as their background and are devoid of enemies. Out of the 10 test stage entries, only three are functional: FOR 08 (a vehicle and weapon test room), FOR 09 (a dual machine gun test room), and FOR 10 (another vehicle test room). ＷＡＲＮ　パレット　オーバー - Has something to do with the palette.Ī set of test stages can also be played from the debug menu, although compared to Metal Slug 2, X, and 3, they are very lacking.”ＰＡＵＳＥ”ヒョウジＯＦＦ - Disables the blinking pause message.Ｄボタン、テキ　ゼンメツ - Press D to destroy all onscreen enemies (no score bonuses).

ＶＩＥＷ　ＰＡ　ポイント - A sprite appears, showing the player's respawn point.

ＶＩＥＷ　ＰＵＳＨ　ＲＥＣＴ - View objects that block the player's path.ＶＩＥＷ　ＧＥＯ　ＳＣＲＯＬＬ　Ｂ - 2nd plane check, makes the background choppy as it scrolls when activated.ＶＩＥＷ　ＧＥＯ　ＳＣＲＯＬＬ　Ａ - 1st plane check, shows the walkable ground, makes the foreground choppy as it scrolls when activated.イツデモＰＡＵＳＥ - Allows pausing during score tally, cutscenes, and credits.Start the game, and press COIN up twice during gameplay: after pausing, the debug menu will appear - with options to activate the debug dipswitches (which can be activated separately through other options using Kawaks) and even the ability to play on any regular level, and even some test levels not available in the actual game. To access the debug mode, open the game in Console Mode and set debug developer mode On at the Neo Geo boot-up screen: this can be done via the Kawaks emulator, the Nebula emulator or using the Neo Geo UniBios. It is worth noting this Debug menu is shared by Metal Slug 2, X, 3, 4, and 5.
