Metal Slug: Super Vehicle-001 is a run and gun action shooting game.
Between April and August 1997, Sega Saturn and PlayStation versions developed by SNK and Ukiyotei respectively were released only in Japan.
Both ports feature `Combat School` mode from the Neo Geo CD release while the PlayStation version features a new mode, `Another Story`, consisting of plot-based minigames, and an art gallery featuring concept art (characters, vehicles, weapons, levels).
To retain all animations frames of the arcade original, the Saturn version used newer compression techniques, inter-level loading and the 1 MB RAM expansion cartridge.
