During development, this unit was named "The biggest unit" before being renaming it to the Stone Turtle in the release update. The Stone Turtle appears as part of the 1.22.0 update, with a description explaining why the weapon didn't show up in Metal Slug 5. It appears in game with a variant of colors. This suggests the player characters would use the beam to go inside the Stone Turtle after defeating it and climb their way up to the Mammoth Tower. This beam has a sprite setup, similar to the tractor beams seen in cutscenes from Metal Slug 2/ X and Metal Slug 3, where the background is also part of the laser sprite unlike the weapon laser beams which are opaque. The underbelly opens up to reveal a laser beam. The head is able to retract from its shell. It can lift their feet and move around the arena. It may have been another mini-boss in the Final Mission of Metal Slug 5 as one of the unused areas, the end part of the playable flaming city section, is called "Turtle Boss", and its laser beam (more below) has background sprites from that level.Īccording to the game's sprites, the Stone Turtle has a built-in rocket launcher (similar to the Hi-Do) inside of its shell. The Stone Turtle is an unused enemy vehicle. Another quadruped mecha was also developed by Caroline in reference to the Stone Turtle. A frog-like mecha was also discovered alongside the Stone Turtle, which was customized by Caroline and Towa. In Metal Slug Attack, the Ptolemaic Army managed to excavate the Stone Turtle after the war and would continue to develop it as such. The Stone Turtle could attack by squishing enemies with its massive feet and launching missiles from side launchers. Though it would have changed the war, the Ptolemaic Army was defeated before they could even be used in battle. Due to its gigantic size, it took them a large amount of time to excavate the weapon. This gigantic unit was an ancient weapon that was discovered by Ptolemaic Army.
