The first area of Metal Slug 3's final mission, done twice, with one time using exclusively either the Slug Flyer or Slug Copter. Many players favour the Slug Flyer at the beginning of the area, but ditch it in favour of the Slug Copter in a later stage. I'm planning a 1 life run of Metal Slug 3 and I plan on doing just that, so here's a short video for vehicle fans.
I think it's interesting how the parachute sprites are used only for the prelude area to Mission 5, and how Tarma and Eri have bugged palettes for the ejection sprites from an aerial vehicle, which persists all the way into Metal Slug 6, and maybe even 7. Not to mention, I love how the characters can enter a helicopter/plane even when propelled by a jetpack!
