Metal Slug 7 Leftovers#

MetalSlugXXPSP-56a.png MetalSlugXXPSP-56b.png

A tunnel filled with a bunch of soldiers and a particular enemy vehicle. Seemingly unaffected from remaining time, whole with slow-motion motorbikes, although the MV-280 jeeps are now invisible... without for their rockets and firing effects.

60#

This leftover is a pitch black level. Going to the right leads to a boss fight with Allen O'Neill.

9d#

This is an empty duplicate of the Mission 4 boss arena with an invisible platform in the lower-left.

Unused Graphics#

The PSP version of the game's graphics can be found in the DATA.BIN file in the USRDIR/ directory.

Leona#

Leona-cthrow.gif
3 frames of the throwing-while-crouching animation from the previous games were converted for Leona, but not the rest.

Leona-upshoot.gif
One of the two unused frame of unused alternate shooting up and turning around. The second one is Eri's.

Uhh... I don't think you can drown in the game.
Leona drowning, but there's no place to drown in this game.

Leona-upturn.gif
A variant of Leona's up-and-turning frame. The sprite in-game doesn't show her other arm supporting the gun.

Leona-wobble.gif
Leona borrows most of Eri's edge-wobbling animation but cuts out the heart-clutching part when it plays in-game. The transitionary frame and machine gun version are unedited.

Leona-hands.gif
Unlike Eri, Leona doesn't play this animation after firing the HMG for a prolonged amount of time.

Leona-uphmg.gif Leona-uppistol.gif Leona-win.gif
Unused leftovers or unnecessary Eri conversions.
