The twin tanks Shoe & Karn are the fourth boss from Metal Slug: Super Vehicle-001. A brown version of the tanks appears again in mission 5 of Metal Slug, and another one appears in the subway area of Metal Slug X's fifth mission.
Information
Edit
Designed by a technician from the Rebel Army, Shoe and Karn are versatile weapons, being used in many fronts of combat. They act in tandem, one covering the other.
DetailsEdit
Each of the tanks will strike in a different path, Shoe in the upper path, and Karn in the lower path. They will also come facing each other. Their main weapon is their 155mm smoothbore cannon, which works much like the one from the Di-Cokka, so the players can simply duck under the shots. All the time, the tanks will be firing cruise missiles that are aimed at the characters, and can also fire from the 155mm turrets beneath the main cannon. Each tank also features a "basket" on its side, with a bazooka-wielding Rebel inside it.
Shoe & Karn ColorsEdit
Shoe: The 1st of the twins, its main weapons are cruise missiles, while the secondary is a 155mm smoothbore cannon.
Karn: The 2nd of the twins, its main weapon is a 155mm smoothbore cannon, with the secondary being the cruise missiles.
Shoe (brown): This brown variant that appears as mid boss in the mission 5 in Metal Slug 1 and the subway stage of the mission 5 in Metal Slug X. It also appears in Metal Slug Defense as a premium unit with this paint but with the normal features.
TriviaEdit
Shoe & Karn official artwork.
- Shoe & Karn are based on the German Tiger II tank, also known as the Königstiger ("Bengal tiger"), King Tiger and Royal Tiger.
- Shoe's missile launcher has a ramp on it, while Karn's is similar to the ones later encountered in Metal Slug Advance.
- Karn also appears in the port of Metal Slug Mobile 3, but is never seen during gameplay.
- An early concept of the Shoe & Karn's model is depicted with a two-barreled anti-aircraft cannon instead of the cruise missiles in the finalized version.
