Metal Slug 2: Mission 5 (Level 8)

Difficulty: Level 8. No cheats used.
Oh boy, Mission 5. This is where the game's difficulty curve (more like a difficulty acute angle) spikes up from "casual lolsies" to "Hey we're really, really trying to kill you". Most prisoners are hidden in stupid places nobody would think to shoot (part of me thinks everyone used the debug menu to see where to shoot), and Rebels will now spawn from either or both sides of the screen periodically, and attack with very little cooldown period in between attacks, keeping you on your toes. It strikes me as a cheap way to keep the pace of the game high, but I can't deny it's effective.
Also, it should NOT take 4 rockets to blow up a damn civilian car. I'm still annoyed at how they nerfed the Rocket Launcher, in both power, speed, and homing capabilities from MS1.

This level undergoes so many unexpected jumps.
Section 1: Just fighting against the Rebels as per usual in a city street, nothing out of the ordinary.
Section 2: *Ding! Ding! Ding Ding! Ding! Ding!* WHOA! This is hard!
Section 3: WHAT ON EARTH IS ALL THIS!?

Man, how to use these levers with arrows?

[@XSquareStickIt]

Stand next to the levers and press the fire button repeatedly.
