"Run Through" is the fourth mission of Metal Slug 5.
Mission Synopsis[]
The heroes raid a large, Ptolemaic coastal base that stretches across the sea. Upon diving in with the Slug Mariner, they also raid an underwater base full of captured prisoners. The base inexplicably leads to an open desert field where a large submarine emerges from beneath the sand.
Locations[]
- Coastal Base: The Ptolemaic Army took over an old Rebel Army base and greatly expanded it for their operations. The section ends once a player takes the sole Slug Mariner next to the pier.
- Bottom of the Sea: The heroes dive their way through the waters to the other side. Special Forces divers, submarines, jellyfish, and large squids defend this place. Prisoners are locked inside crates.
- Underwater Base: Another Ptolemaic base hidden under the sea. The heroes climb their way up to ground. Some Masked Soldiers are seen running away, but they cannot be injured by the player.
- Open Desert: A desert surrounding a construction site located at the far back. The Sand Marine is fought here.
Prisoner Locations[]
There are 16 POWs in this mission.

Trivia[]
- According to the Sand Marine's concept art label and the debug level number layout, this mission was originally the second mission rather than the fourth.
