Transformations
From Metal Slug Wiki
Contents |
[edit] Fat
When you consume around 16 food items (bananas, fish, cabbages, watermelons, carrots, etc.) your character will become obese and become extremely swelled. Becoming fat will increase your power but impede your movement and turn your weapon into a comical pistol with a wide opening that fires larger shots with slower firing speed. All other weapons are also changed to a more comical appearance. You will continue to be fat until either you pick up a diet pill or enough time passes and you return to normal girth.
[edit] Zombie
IF you are directly hit by a zombie or come in contact with their viscera, your character will become a zombie. This transformation includes having your skin turn blue, being reduced to a slow firing handgun, and being reduced to walking in a slow, awkward waddle. You are also unable to crouch or obtain special weapons (except for the Thunder Cloud). As a positive your grenade attack is changed to a deadly, bloody, barf attack which unleashes a giant wave of blood from your mouth which can kill most enemies instantly. You also become invulnerable against most rebel weaponry but you can be killed by another zombie attack.
[edit] Mummy
If you are hit by any mummy variant's breath or drop shot you will be turned into a mummy (it should be noted that the locusts from the locust belching mummy will not do this). This transformation, appearing different based on each character (Marco still has his bandana, Tarma has glasses on the outside, etc.), makes you much slower and reduces you to a pistol and a regular grenade which takes longer to throw. The mummy form allows your character to cover higher vertical distance and slightly longer air time at the expense of a short delay before a jump. Like the zombie transformation, the mummy form can not obtain special weaponry but unlike the zombie form, the mummy form can still crouch. It should be noted that any attack can kill the character in mummy form.
[edit] Snowman
When you are hit by a yeti's ice breath you will turn into a frozen snowman with a different appearance with each character, much like the mummy. You can't move in this form and must press buttons rapidly to jump out of the snowman before a yeti comes over and clubs you with a giant bone. You will be also turned into a snowman if a blue flying pod charges at you in Metal Slug 7.
[edit] Monkey
If you get hit by a bullet from scientists with rifle you will be turned into a small monkey wearing a diaper and with the character variant, like the mummy and snowman. The monkey form has a exceptional jumping ability and gives the player a small Uzi, which is automatic but is not as fast or powerful as the HMG. The jumping ability can be used to grab onto the ceiling and move across from the top, firing down on the enemies (These special railings are only found on levels and areas where the scientist enemy is found). The monkey form can be cured with a green serum dropped in the area where scientists are. The only notable disadvantage to this form is the slow movement speed on the ground. The monkey form is based off the sprite of Utan.
