The Mini-Blimp is an environmental object found throughout the Metal Slug series.
Information[]
A miniaturized blimp used by the Rebel Army to lift up and carry objects and vehicles. These are made with strong material, so one is needed per vehicle; heavier ones such as the Denturion require two held by rope. The wooden scaffold the Mini-Blimp usually carries also serves as a mobile platform for Rebel Soldiers. Mini-Blimps are invulnerable to player attacks.
Weaponized versions of a Mini-Blimp called Airships are introduced in Metal Slug: Awakening. They fly above the battlefield and drop ammo directly downwards at the player. Their cannons are their weakpoint.
