Sol Dae Rokker is the end-encounter reference for Mission 4 of Metal Slug 3. 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.
Desert ruins and underground detours
Mission 4 opens in the desert with a Camel Slug before reaching pyramid ruins. Branches include mummy-filled interiors and routes through a wine cellar, Japanese soldiers and underground mutants. The paths converge at the tower encounter with Sol Dae Rokker.
There is more than one way through the middle of the mission. Keep a simple record of which entrance you chose before comparing what appeared or which equipment survived.

How do I reach Mission 4?
Progress through Mission 3 in Metal Slug 3 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
These are Classic keyboard defaults; saved bindings take precedence. Touch uses movement plus A / FIRE, B / JUMP and C / BOMB. Arrange touch controls before a long session, or see all controls.
