The Parachute Drop is a sub-level present in Metal Slug: 1st Mission. The section is accessed by destroying the Slug Flyer barring the fight with the Rebel Zeppelin.
Information[]
The Heroes swiftly eject from the Slug Flyer after its destruction. In free fall, they must parachute after ten seconds. Deploy too early and a barrage of insta-kill missiles start bombarding the Heroes. Deploy too late and the parachute will not have enough time to fully work, and the Heroes will fatally crash face-first onto the ground.
For added challenge, the on-screen timer disappears after a few seconds (except in Kids difficulty). The time it takes to vanish depends on the difficulty (Very Hard goes away earlier than Easy).
Rank Medals are found in this sub-level. Clearing the Parachute Drop leads the Heroes to a different route.
The Parachute Drop is replaced by the Drop Pack in Metal Slug: 2nd Mission. The latter also occurs in a different mission rather than the same mission as the Slug Flyer.
