Notably, the Taiwanese Metal Slug clone Demon Front, Dolphin Blue, the CT Special Forces series and the made-in-China Commando: Steel Disaster (whose protagonist is a blatant Captain Ersatz to Marco). Follow the Leader: Metal Slug's success in the mid-90s have renewed interest in the Run-and-Gun genre, which has since declined ever since the late 80s, with a few imitators following suit in the next decade.For example, a guerilla having an additional death animation where they lay flat on the ground, note Their corpses can be found in Mission 1's temple positioned this way but unused in normal gameplay a Ptolemaic Flying Tara being more in line with 1's version, a sniper using a proper crouched death animation and is able to fire their rifles in a standing and crouched position, the Screamer's captain throwing something, etc. A nearly complete set of unused sprites is present in Metal Slug 5.These get their use in Defense and Attack. Sprites of Abul attacking and setting up his white flag are present in 2's ROM.Text positioning is somewhat glitchy but is legible. Metal Slug 3D has most of its text localized and can be accessed through cheats.In addition there is also an unused animation for a rebel soldier being bisected vertically. This is because X was originally going to be a remix of the first two games using the engine of 3, but only Metal Slug 2 was remade. Metal Slug X has a ton of unused areas from the first game, missions and enemies from 3 in development, and new locations and sprites created for this game alone.

You can check a more detailed observation of said elements here. A large number of things, most notably in Metal Slug 5.

Both games were made outside of Japan ( MS4 by Korea, DF by Taiwan) and shares similar aesthetics, enemy designs and animations (though the latter lacks POWs that can be rescued). Dueling Works: Incidentally, the fourth game was released in 2002, alongside the Metal Slug-clone Demon Front.Many Chinese and Korean Metal Slug mobile games tend to close down after a couple years in service.Most of its assets and music were transferred to Metal Slug Defense. Metal Slug Wars was an RTS released for iOS around early 2013 and removed from the store within the same year.In a series first, the development of Metal Slug Tactics was handled by the indie company Leikir Studio, with DotEmu on publisher duties.Metal Slug Anthology was ported by Terminal Reality.According to developer Hidenari Mamoto, all games after Metal Slug 3 were developed by Noise Factory members.Metal Slug 5 was developed by Noise Factory as well, but SNK took control late in development and revamped it.ME mostly wound up simply recycling the assets and backgrounds from past games (even the bosses are cobbled together from old sprites), which in combination with the rather poor level design in areas led to complaints that the game feels less like a proper Metal Slug entry than it does a 'tribute' or 'ROM hack.' Thanks to SNK's bankruptcy, Metal Slug 4 was farmed out to Noise Factory (the people who composed the music for Metal Slug 3) and the short-lived MEGA Enterprises.
