A full list (as far as I know) of all secret hostages in Metal Slug.
STAGE 1
Two lots of 2 hostages hidden in the two waterfalls just before you
get to the boss. Just blast the tops of the 2 waterfalls and they
will fall earthwards!
STAGE 2
Blast down at the funny looking green bush underneath the bridge just
before you reach the mid level boss (large tank on rails above you)
and three secret hostages will come running in your direction.
STAGE 3
There are secret hostages hidden within the two large trees that you
can blast down in the section where you have the Metal Slug tank.
These seem to be random and I have no guarantee of how to get them but
just try blasting those trees down and sometimes they appear! Does
anyone have a reliable method of getting these? It seems common to
get them if you have lost a life previously on that stage - as if they
appear to help make up the numbers.
There are also hidden hostages that drop down from the sky when you
are fighting the end of level boss - just don't kill the boss until
they have all appeared - spend as long as you can before finishing off
the boss! I think the maximum number of hostages that I have
collected here is 5.
STAGE 4
Just after you have got the Metal Slug tank at the beginning of the
level - blast the ceiling of the bar just above the light/lampshade
high up on the wall at the entrance of the bar - this is difficult to
spot but it is easier to listen for the sound of the tanks laser
hitting the secret area - 3 hostages will soon drop from the ceiling.
At the end of level bosses you can either blast in the top right hand
corner of the cave to get 3 hidden hostages OR blast the far bottom
left hand corner for 3 hidden hostages - IT IS NOT POSSIBLE to get
both of these groups - you can only get one or the other - I personall
go for the ones at the bottom left - it is easier!
STAGE 5
Blast the top of the first AND second trees in the stage inbetween the
shops and houses. The first tree yields 3 hostages and the second
only two.
Blast the undercarriage of the end of level boss after it has lifted
up on stilts to get three extra hostages who also provide useful power
ups!
STAGE 6
Blast the small white cloud above you just after the boat you are on
has run ashore to get two hidden hostages - the section towards the
end of the stage.
If anyone knows of any more that I have not covered then please add to
the list because I am sure that it is not comprehensive - I would love
to hear of any more that I have not yet found.
