Metal Slug 2 — Mission 4

Hong Kong streets and waterways. Mission 4 is a good point to stop measuring progress only by how long you hold fire. Practise recognising when an attack is productive and when repositioning is the better use of time.

CAMPAIGN LANDMARK

Big Shiee is the end-encounter reference for Mission 4 of Metal Slug 2. It is followed by Mission 5.

Mission numbers refer to the original campaign order. Boss names follow the community mission reference; they are encounter identifiers, not official stage titles.

Hong Kong streets and waterways

The route crosses Sleepy Port’s downtown, a dry creek with a ferry, a wet creek and a shanty town. Big Shiee waits at the far end.

Food from scenery and pickups can trigger the larger-body transformation here. Metal Slug 2 reserves that transformation for this mission; X makes it possible earlier.

Campaign reference: Metal Slug Wiki’s mission overview. Practice suggestions below are our own.

Pick a useful firing window

Try this focused practice plan during your run. These are optional goals to set yourself, not extra objectives or achievements awarded by the game.

  1. Watch where your shots are going instead of assuming every shot connects.

  2. Move to a position you can defend before spending grenades.

  3. Use the Big Shiee encounter to compare a patient attempt with a rushed one.

How do I reach Mission 4?

Progress through Mission 3 in Metal Slug 2 to reach this mission. A new arcade run begins at Mission 1.

The Play button selects this title in the collection. It does not launch this specific mission, change the original game’s difficulty or unlock later stages. Use the guides below to read ahead while your campaign follows its normal order.

Can I return to Mission 4 later?

In a solo session, pause and use Save State after reaching the point you want to revisit. Open the same title in the same browser and use Load State to restore a compatible saved point. Saving again replaces the previous saved point for that title; a link to this guide does not include your save.

Manual continues include free credits. Automatic continues can be changed in Options & Controls → Gameplay. Neither option is a mission selector. Read the save and continue guide.

Controls for this run

This reference name also appears in Metal Slug X Mission 4. Metal Slug X revises Metal Slug 2; matching names do not mean that the approach, enemies or experience are identical. SNK’s series history describes the revision.
