[edit] New features

In Metal Slug X, the player can turn fat in various areas of the game, instead of just on mission 4. There is also a new enemy, the Dog Mummy, as well as a few variations of the Mummy that later appeared in Metal Slug 3. The SV-001 got an upgraded version that is faster and can jump higher, and the Camel Slug's vulcan was slightly modified. Metal Slug X also features some new weapons:

The Enemy Chaser sends rockets that track down enemies at random;
The Iron Lizard shoots a mini-car like bomb that travesl on ground and explodes at contact;
The Drop Shot shoots iron balls that bounce on the ground until it hits an enemy;
The Super Grenade shoots a round that travels forward and causes a massive explosion.

The older weapons also got more powerful versions with greater firepower.

[edit] Another Mission

The Playstation version features a new mode that is unlocked after beating the game. This mode have a series of different challenges like going to the end of the course unarmed or beating all enemies using only grenades. After beating all challenges, new pictures are added to the Art Gallery of the game.
