If you look closely at the bossfights they dont actually animate some of the movements, they just move the pixels around like how the youtube channel Dorkly makes animations, the animations of the soldiers and other things are still epic though
Jumping into the vehicle is still considered a normal jump and you can still die. But the moment you actually land into the vehicle itself you'll be invincible for a brief moment. And if you jump out of a vehicle, you're invincible until you land.

The final mission should be split into 3 missions I think First would be the plane fight the then the alien plane Then the space shooter part would be the next And the real final would be in the mother ship and rootmars and so on
Agreed, I never got to get a good look at it before. All of these enemies used for only the final mission have burning death variants, high quality sprite work and satisfying animation, and that’s a ton of details that may go unnoticed.
You literally have 5 bosses in just a single level 1-Hairbuster Ribert & Allen'o Neil (MS1) 2:33 2-Hi-Do (MS1 Final) 3:43 3-Dai-Manji & Rugname (MS2 Final) 9:18 4-Fake Rootmars 17:53 5-Rootmars 23:55

It gives you the satisfaction of re-fighting iconic bosses of the series. And the music is just (chef's kiss).

@@lubiekrascfilmy6270 Everytime you kill a Fio clone, she melts completely... without clothes. Basically, you have a peek of how she looks in the nude.
I always found it funny that in MS2 and MS3 when you have to defend earth from something more sinister (aliens and shit) it's almost always Rebel Morden Army who fight and sacrifice the hardest to defend it while the Regular army is only represented by your character/s, not like there are a mix of sprites or soldiers but only you and Rebels fighting together
The reason Rebel Army rebelled in the first place was the ineptitude of Regular Army in fending off bandit and terrorist attacks alongside corruption scandals. General Morden tolerated the corruption, until his kid became a victim of a terrorist attack. Apparently his cause got an international acclaim that he could consolidate armies from nearly every nation across the globe.
@@OverseerMoti Also, the Regular Army had to become what it was always supposed to be because Morden would have wiped them out otherwise. In short, Morden has done a lot of good indirectly.
Best series of all time, really. Zombies, clothes melting, alliance with the modens, space, copies, zombified characters again as enemy. They all struck a massive hit on my child brain each turn
It feels reeeeeeally awkward when 2 players play this mission. You know the part where the mushroom-like space squid manifested and kidnapped only one of the characters? Yeah, that one...
I always use Eri so when i first played this part, i was saddened that she got kidnapped and is unplayable after that so i always intentionally die in that part to change character
@@Sam_Aconitum Yeah, I also prefer Eri than Fio. If you notice, If Eri was kidnapped and purposely let Tarma die, then chooses Marco, the ending would make perfect sense imo. And it's cute because if you know Eri's backstory, it's a character development.
They can’t account for everything maybe if they do a rerelease of this game they can change it so that both players’ characters are captured and need rescuing
I find it curious how almost nobody talks about Metal Slug 3, the game has some of the most awesome missions and bosses. Also, it is hilarious how the game just took your character and said "fuck you, but we will give you another"

Cuando este juego llegó al local de las maquinitas , ( así les llamamos a las arcadias aquí en Guatemala) Yo quedé fascinado, convirtiéndose en una de mis mayores obsesiones de toda mi vida como jugador. Todos los días yo hiba a jugarlo , Fue un verdadero dolor de cabeza aprender todos los patrones de ataque de los enemigos y jefes así como descubrir todos los caminos secretos y como pasarlos sin morir, no fue hasta que después de cinco meses logre pasarlo con una sola moneda y sin morir ni una vez, recuerdo que nadie más lo logró, y me consideraban como el mejor jugador de metal slug de toda la zona
This mission demonstrates how video game design really peaked in this era in terms of pure fun creativity and artistry. To the extent that even the end credits are incredibly creative, gorgeous and just fun to watch.
I did play this numerous times on the arcade machine during my highschool days way back 2008. It's pretty intense and cool to find myself being surrounded by people while i beat the game with 1 token. 😅
I love how when the 3 of mordens soldiers come and check if he’s alright but fake Morden turns into an alien and they just run away and don’t come back and help fio which is so hilarious because their mind is just like “fuck this shit I’m out” or “sorry your on your own fio” keep up the work banden! 😄
Idk man but it's kindda majestic that they created a final level so long, they build up this last boss into something so scary and powerfull so we as the player can feel how majestic it is. I remembered broke my controller because how hard this level back in the day, and i was 10 back then
some rpg games may put me to sleep quickly in 30 mins or not even in one sit, but an arcade game like this would give you hype even you keep on dying. First time an arcade game gives me immersive experience, goosebumps, no lying
I've never seen the timer get down to single digit seconds remaining. Especially since they're Metal Slug seconds, each ingame second lasts a couple seconds. That was incredible, doubly so during the final Rootmars fight.
The hard part of the final boss fight isn't timing your jumps and getting into the tank, it's that you have to fight hard against your intrinsic sense of rhythm and focus solely on what you see. The mouth attacks and brain blasts are desynced to one another, and the lag spikes whenever the boss shoots can serve to both save you and throw you off if you got a rhythm in cycling between in tank and on foot.
my friends and i used to challenge ourselves in this mission because it's the longest one. the one who uses the most coins to continue will treat the group with snacks. the stage itself isn't too crazy like the other stages in metal slug where it's bullet hell. this one is just battle of patience.
Such a great final mission, the subversion of expectation that it might end at the Morden fight.. but then it keeps going! It’s basically two missions in one. But the fact that it just keeps going is sooo fcking awesome!
The real kicker with this long, hard mission is, there's only 2 AREAS where prisoners are, if you are going for rescuing the prisoners, it's not so bad until you get past the rocket section, but once you are past that and rescue the prisoners, especially if you rescue them all on both sections, if you die after those 2 areas, that's it! No more prisoners. Even worse, because the prisoners are rescued by shooting those secret areas, they can easily go unnoticed!
I remember playing this with my cousin as a kid, damn when i saw my pj allying with the soldiers and get launch to the space my hype level was over 9000😂🔥🔥🔥
Like the meme says: It has been 84 years since I looked for this on TH-cam. Nice done, finally I can watch this. Also that little frame in the end saved you, I always die a lot in the end
31:19 As what I searched, that fish was supposed to be the antagonists for the next Metal Slug, but SNK was at the edge of bankruptcy at that time. And its significance was never been implemented at the existing MS4 because of the change of company.
La primera vez que jugué el juego era un niño, me emocione tanto que se me.erizo la piel, no podía creer que los buenos y malos se unieran para salvar a los que estaban secuestrados por los alíens hasta la fecha "kiss in the dark" sigue siendo el cancion favorita de MS
From the very beginning of the mission up to you getting into the Metal Slug after beating the final boss, you seem to have taken 28:13 to beat this mission. And you did it on your last or only life without any continues. Very impressive indeed.

For a lot of people, this mission is the one that made them realize: "Wait, you have INVENCIBILITY FRAMES when you jump on and out a vehicle????"

15:28 love to see that old man dodge all the alien bullets😎😎😎
I've never seen the timer get down to single digit seconds remaining. Especially since they're Metal Slug seconds, each ingame second lasts a couple seconds. That was incredible, doubly so during the final Rootmars fight.
28:06 I love how Rootmars literally got shit on lmao
Yo cuando la jugué sentí una emoción y un aura de epicidad que todos nos unimos contra un enemigo en común
estás como loro repitiendo lo que ya todos dijeron 😂
I loved this game sooo much. I played this game like a thousand times.
This is by far my favorite mission of all the franchise.
6:18 Morden:Wut...
Also Morden:Ahhhh!!! I need somebody to help me out here!
Ah yes, the
18:40 oh shit
&
21:22 OH SHIT
of my childhood
The hard part of the final boss fight isn't timing your jumps and getting into the tank, it's that you have to fight hard against your intrinsic sense of rhythm and focus solely on what you see.
The mouth attacks and brain blasts are desynced to one another, and the lag spikes whenever the boss shoots can serve to both save you and throw you off if you got a rhythm in cycling between in tank and on foot.
my friends and i used to challenge ourselves in this mission because it's the longest one. the one who uses the most coins to continue will treat the group with snacks. the stage itself isn't too crazy like the other stages in metal slug where it's bullet hell. this one is just battle of patience.
crazy how quickly this game turned in to Contra
Me acuerdo cuando llegue por primera vez a esta misión... Emoción pura
I remember playing this game and this level and i was sooo shocked when my character"fav" got abducted. Best childhood and best game of all..
I had 13 years old when I complete that mission in very hard mode what a good times :'3
28:08
lol that *"SHIT"* drop in the end LMAO
America: We built a rocket and flew it to the moon! What took you so long?
Russia: 12:04
I was smiling through the whole video, remembering the joy and PAIN that i suffered through the whole franchise in PS2, i need to play them again
The reason why MS3 is my favorite.
Such a great final mission, the subversion of expectation that it might end at the Morden fight.. but then it keeps going! It’s basically two missions in one. But the fact that it just keeps going is sooo fcking awesome!
24:30 and 25:50 are pure examples of RNGesus covering for you. Good Lord.
The real kicker with this long, hard mission is, there's only 2 AREAS where prisoners are, if you are going for rescuing the prisoners, it's not so bad until you get past the rocket section, but once you are past that and rescue the prisoners, especially if you rescue them all on both sections, if you die after those 2 areas, that's it! No more prisoners.
Even worse, because the prisoners are rescued by shooting those secret areas, they can easily go unnoticed!
Around 16:30 unloading the big guy was a marvelous movement
Didn't know that was possible
This is reminiscent of resident evil lazer rooms
You can unload the lasers in RE?
@@Steele47 no, but the moves that Resident Evil characters use to move through the rooms would be great against Metal Slug alien lasers.
@ ohh you were talking about the brain in a jar that makes you jump through laser hoops. Yeah that sounds fitting
The sprite animation is so beautiful. It's 1/3 of the reason I love this game series.
ok, I'll bite, what are the other 2? Fio and Eri?
jk, for me It would be the music and style.
@@amaliomontana Right on the money with the music and style.
I remember playing this with my cousin as a kid, damn when i saw my pj allying with the soldiers and get launch to the space my hype level was over 9000😂🔥🔥🔥
Like the meme says: It has been 84 years since I looked for this on TH-cam. Nice done, finally I can watch this. Also that little frame in the end saved you, I always die a lot in the end
It's the final boss' song for me. The perfect song for the final mission of a war videogame in which you have to save the world by yourself.
31:19
As what I searched, that fish was supposed to be the antagonists for the next Metal Slug, but SNK was at the edge of bankruptcy at that time. And its significance was never been implemented at the existing MS4 because of the change of company.
La primera vez que jugué el juego era un niño, me emocione tanto que se me.erizo la piel, no podía creer que los buenos y malos se unieran para salvar a los que estaban secuestrados por los alíens hasta la fecha "kiss in the dark" sigue siendo el cancion favorita de MS
Arcade machine of Metal Slug 3:
"Hippity hoppity, your allowance is now my property."
From the very beginning of the mission up to you getting into the Metal Slug after beating the final boss, you seem to have taken 28:13 to beat this mission. And you did it on your last or only life without any continues. Very impressive indeed.
