Back to familiar territory with this one, while tackling uncharted waters at the same time.
*Activates the computerized stereo. "Break the Barrier"* starts playing in the background.*
So recently, a bunch of hidden stage areas have been discovered in Metal Slug Advance. Said areas were dummied out in the final game, and can only be accessed via incessantly faffin' around with Cheat Engine. For more info, go to MS:MIA(Right here, yo~) and check for yourself.
Unused Area °1 [Metal Slug Advance]

<-- "...You know you can just pass through that boulder, right?"
And we start with an underwater area where you can walk freely without fear of drowning. With rocks that just implode with no sound or debris after a good bashin'. Also lack of pizzazz and general noise, which kinda makes the thumbnail a tad misleading.
...Yeah, needless to say, these areas aren't quite finished. They were meant to be alternate routes for Missions 3 and 4(Possibly with the Slug Mariner), but ended up getting scrapped. Thus, this somewhat incomplete area BG, left in the game and forgotten until now.
I say "incomplete" due to how it looks. The level map has a static ripple effect to it, which probably would've been animated had this been completed. Included in this mix are the entrance/exit areas, also dummied out from the final game.
That's one of two unused areas down. The next one might be a little trickier to pull off, though... it's mostly vertical, and you're not affected by undersea physics for once. We're gonna need a trampoline.
...Or a moonjump code. That works too.
*From "Metal Slug 3D"/"Metal Slug Evolution". Considering what you gotta do to even see these areas, the name of the track is rather fitting.
EDIT: So appearently this sheet got approved thrice over, leading to two extra broken pages on the site. Might wanna get that checked out, fellas.
