To do: Document additional unused content from here. |
Metal Slug Advance is basically a severely watered down port of a Metal Slug game.
Contents
Unused Sprites
There's a lot of unused animations for the player characters, mostly the likes of reloading and idle animations that would have been used for flavor.
To do: Get more of them and document them. |
Alternate firing stances while crouching. This is excised from the game, thus limiting them with only one.
An unused animation of Tyra checking her hair, used in Metal Slug Defense and Attack.
Unused Objects
A fair few remnants of the scrapped underwater stage remain, like the Slug Mariner, squids, floating mines, and perhaps more.
To do: Same thing, rip them and write about them |
Slug Mariner
Evidence that there was once an underwater level in the game, before they scrapped it and so on. It even has all the necessary animation for being used in the game.
Squid
Another leftover from the underwater level, this time it's a squid from Metal Slug 5. It has all the animations, including exploding in a gory fashion.
Debug Mode Leftovers
There's a few textual remains of a debug mode, most of it nigh-identical to that of the arcade games, as well as the numerical listings of a stage select. Mission 3 has ten areas (only seven are seen in gameplay, including a cutscene) and Mission 4 has seven, meaning two areas aren't accessed.
Unused Text
In every version, at 0x797B0, is text for what looks to be a country selection, yet remains unused.

Regional Differences
The title screen in the Japanese version has the katakana text "メタルスラッグ アドバンス", which means "Metal Slug Advance".
