Airplane Crash Site

The Airplane Crash Site is a location in Metal Slug 3, where the second mission Wandering at Midnight takes place.

Information

This crash site of a passenger airliner unfortunately happens to be nearby to the epicenter of zombie outbreak, triggered by radiation emitted from an irradiated meteorite. Survivors of the plane crash can be found scattered throughout the area; if the player fails to act accordingly, pre-existing zombies will turn them into zombies themselves, infecting other survivors who happen to be near them at the first opportunity afterward. Players can turn into zombies upon contact with the infectious fluids thrown at them by enemy zombies as well.

Halfway through the area, players can opt for entering the "Iceman" cave, where the Sasquatches can be found inside. After reaching the end and finding that the path is blocked by an avalanche, a U-turn travel must be made riding a Elephant Slug while facing more hordes of zombies, the Tar Men among them, who have brutally killed any and all remaining Sasquatches in the cave.

Towards the end of the stage, players come across zombified Rebel soldiers and scientists before facing off the Monoeye UFO, which is responsible for the outbreak.

Notes

• In Metal Slug Defense and Metal Slug Attack, the location is retconned to be located in Russia.
• Oddly enough, zombies never attack Rebel soldiers during one of the mini-fights in the level.
