Metal Slug Wiki
Settings MS1

The Arcade Settings are the settings found in the Test Menu in the MVS versions of Metal Slug: Super Vehicle-001 to Metal Slug 5. The machine operator can change the options to affect how players control the game.

Rundown[]

These options are accessed by selecting "Setting Up the Soft Dip" and the slot where the game is located. The operator presses A to increase an option, B to decrease an option, and C to return to a previous menu.

  • Hero: Sets the number of lives when starting a game/continuing.
  • Continue: Gives the player the option to continue their game after losing their lives. If not, then the game immediately ends. When in two player mode, both players have to get a Game Over in order for their game to end, so a losing player can continue (with their score reset) if another is alive.
  • Difficulty: Sets the difficulty number (1 is the easiest and 8 is the hardest).
  • Play Time: Adjusts the game's time limit.
  • Demo Sound: Turns the sound during the demo on or off.
  • Play Manual: Shows or skips the "How to Play" screen when starting a game.
  • Credit/Level: Displays or hides the number of credits and/or the difficulty on screen. The game counts the number of credits even if the display is off.
  • Blood: Sets the game's blood from red/on or white/off. It's on by default for Japanese versions and off for International versions.
