Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Mad Stalker: Full Metal Force is a mecha beat 'em up game developed by Fill-in Café (the same folks behind Asuka 120% Burning Fest. series and Panzer Bandit) and published by FamilySoft that never left the shores of Japan. It was released in 1994 for the Sharp X68000.Set in the not-so-distant-future in the year 2142 A.D., when disasters were a thing of the past for Artemis City. An old warship from an older war was discovered containing hundreds of giant mechas known as Slave Gears, which were put under control with the intent of ruling the government with power. Two of the Slave Gears models, named "Hound Dog" and "Rising Dog", were taken for experimental purposes under the police's management. However, the main computer of the warship "Omega" suddenly began functioning, hacking all military network channels, ceasing all functionality of Artemis City, and terrorizing the city with Rising Dog under its control. With Artemis City in danger, the police began operations by sending in Hound Dog to fight the rampaging Slave Gears and stop Omega.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The game featured a unique approach to beat 'em up genre, as you control Hound Dog through a single 2D plane while fighting other mechas akin to a Fighting Game such as Street Fighter, using two attack buttons of different strengths and speed as well as special attacks and throws. Once you reached the boss at the end of each stage, the game goes from a single plane brawler to a straight-up 1-on-1 fighting game. The game spans six stages of increasing difficulty and also features a VS. Mode where two players can duke it with the Slave Gear of their choice in traditional fighting game fashion against another player or the computer. The music for the game was composed by Keishi Yonao, whose resume includes Asuka 120% Burning Fest., Dies Irae, Strania -The Stella Machina-, among others.Mad Stalker was later ported to the FM Towns in July of 1994 with updated visuals and an arranged soundtrack. Another port was released for PC Engine CD in September of the same year (published by NEC), with the enhancements of the FM Towns version along with animated cut-scenes that gave the game much more narrative and two more playable characters. A remake was made by the same team for the PlayStation in 1997, later re-released via PlayStation Network in 2011. A Mega Drive version was in development alongside the Sharp X68000 version in 1993 by Kagado Studios, but due to the increase of Mega Drive manufacturing costs, it was unfortunately canceled. In 2020, Opera House, Co. bought out the software rights of Fill-in-Café's back catalog of video games, and with Columbus Circle as the publisher and the supervision of the Mad Stalker's main programmer Masatoshi Imaizumi, the Mega Drive version was finally released on September 17, 2020 as a limited physical release.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); }) |

Palette Swap: The game has a fairly limited enemy variety, so you can expect different colored versions of some of the enemies often. The playable bosses in Story Mode also get their color palette swapped. In the PC Engine CD version, players can take control of a palette swapped version of Kamui (Stage 5's boss) and Gong (a common enemy) as Richard and Eve, respectively. |

Checkpoint Starvation: The PC Engine CD version changed how continues worked. Instead of being kicked to the main menu and resuming from the last checkpoint via the Continue option, have you three credits where after defeat allows you to continue on the spot. Once they're all used, you have to start the game all over (or the stage if you used the Stage Select code). |

The PC Engine CD version has one involving the Sound Test and difficulty setting that unlocks a bonus set of options to enable all of VS. Mode mechs for Story Mode and a Stage Select feature. Change the difficulty to Hard, SE to 7, BGM to 13, and press I while highlighting the difficulty setting to access it (the changes remain active if change the difficulty). Holding Select while entering VS. Mode will also unlock all of the enemies as well. Other cheats can be used, such as a level skip code and God Mode, but it requires a multi-tap and extra controller. |

Artificial Stupidity: In the remake, it's entirely possible to spam projectiles at bosses and the A.I. won't try to fight back or think of a way to counter your shots. The A.I. playing Hound Dog during the original version's attract mode generally does some stupid things, such as dashing to the border of the screen to missing all of its attacks. |

Video Game Dashing: Hound Dogs dash attack has it using its thrusters for sudden burst of speed while slashing foes with its sword. In the original, the attack can be canceled by performing a guard, making it an effective method of traveling or evading. In the remake, there's an independent dash button that lets you dash through enemies on the ground or air-dash while in mid-air. |

Moveset Clone: Averted. Hound Dog and Rising Dog at first glance may seem like the game's equivalent of Ryu and Ken, although some of their attacks and specials differ from each other. Rising Dog doesn't have Hound Dog's double-jump ability although has a ninja-vanishing technique, has a ground shockwave attack in place of Hound Dog's cannon, an uppercut move with a different command input (save for the remake), and slide attack (plus a claw-swiping attack in the remake) instead of dashing one. |

Updated Re-release: The FM Towns version has updated graphics and a remixed soundtrack. The PC Engine CD version later added two more characters, Richard Winston piloting Kamui and Eve Lurdia piloting a Gong, and much bigger narrative thanks to the new animated cut-scenes. |

Turns Red: During the final battle with Rising Dog, after reducing it to 30% Energy, it will activate its Super Mode and it moves a hell of a lot faster. |

Classic Cheat Code |
| | Mad Stalker: Full Metal Force (Video Game) / int_e41b38d3 |
comment |
Classic Cheat Code: In the Sharp X68000 version, typing "MISEROYO" in the Options menu unlocks extra features, such as the ability to play as the bosses in Story Mode by pressing F5-10 during gameplay, play as the enemies in VS. Mode, changing the game speed, to killing everything on screen or killing yourself to end a session. The PC Engine CD version has one involving the Sound Test and difficulty setting that unlocks a bonus set of options to enable all of VS. Mode mechs for Story Mode and a Stage Select feature. Change the difficulty to Hard, SE to 7, BGM to 13, and press I while highlighting the difficulty setting to access it (the changes remain active if change the difficulty). Holding Select while entering VS. Mode will also unlock all of the enemies as well. Other cheats can be used, such as a level skip code and God Mode, but it requires a multi-tap and extra controller. The PlayStation remake featured codes that can be entered in the title screen to unlock all of the Slave Gears in Story Mode (Up, Down, Left, Right, X, Circle at the Press Start screen) and enemies for VS. Mode (Up, Down, Left, Right, Up, Down, Left, Right, X, Circle as with the other code), respectively. The code that unlocks the other playable Slave Gears in Story Mode doubles as a level skip code where pressing L2 skips segments and stages. Skipping stages however kills your score. |

Battleship Raid: The police carrier from Stage 4 takes you to Omega's warship in the following level, where fight off enemies and turrets on top of it then infiltrate your way into its engine room. Stage 6 follows with a rematch with past bosses, eventually where you destroy the engine, and finally settle the score with Rising Dog on top of the warship. |
