The United Government of Earth is under attack by an organization known as Dark Axis, led by Venkar Amon. The Metal Warriors are mecha pilots who defend the planet and aim to expel the enemies. Initially, they need to complete rescue and intelligence-gathering missions in space before the government can clear the path for a return to Earth and an assault on enemy bases.
Metal Warriors is a battlemech action game with platforming elements. The game's unique feature is piloting six different mechs, each varying in gameplay style. Each mech has its own melee weapons, firearms, and shields. Most of the mechs can only walk, but one can fly while another rolls.
The player character can leave the mech and explore stages on foot, and also change mechs in the middle of exploration. Power-ups can be found in special containers, including weapon upgrades (up to four levels), bouncing shots, heat-seeking shots, and heavy shoulder weapons like a grenade launcher.
Aside from single-player mode, the game features a two-player versus mode where two players try to exploit mech strengths and equipment to defeat each other in combat.

Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
This sci-fi action game is set in a dark future where the United Earth Government is on the brink of defeat by a cold-blooded galactic dictator named Venkar Amon and his Dark Axis forces. Playing as a defender of Earth, the player pilots a captured robotic battledroid to fight back against the invading alien forces. To save humanity, players must deploy their heavy weaponry across various battlefields to infiltrate enemy lines and destroy a devastating superweapon.
Story
A Dark Future
The planet Earth has come under a new political system—the United Earth Government. The planet has been operating peacefully—for the most part—for over fifty years. Democracy has become the globally accepted form of government, and technology has been refined from its crude forms in the late 20th century to enhance the quality of life for all humans across the planet.
Nonetheless, for three years now the U.E.G. military outposts have been waging a war with the Dark Axis, led by Venkar Amon. This cold-blooded dictator has been enslaving or destroying smaller planets around the galaxy for over thirteen years, and has now set sights on ruling Earth.
The Dark Axis forces have almost succeeded in their goal, but the Free Earth Forces have held on to key military outposts in the solar system. They have even managed to capture a few Axis battledroids—the robotic suits of armor which became the dominant technology of warfare since the first 'droids were developed in 2055.
Now, the Amon-led Axis forces are about to breach Earth's defenses and set up Earth-based stations, which would spell certain doom for the U.E.G. and all humans. Join in the fight as a defender of the Earth and use your battledroid weaponry to be a true METAL WARRIOR. Every moment counts!
Mission Briefing
•
We need some help here.
•
Here is a sample of some of the scenes you will encounter during your adventures as a METAL WARRIOR!
•
Your job is to get inside and knock out this super weapon if it does exist.
How to Play
Modes of Play
METAL WARRIORS has two modes of play:
•
One player story mode
•
Two player competitive mode
The one player story mode consists of 9 different combat missions. During the one player mode, the player will have to master several of the six different battledroid robots in order to finish the game.
The two player competitive mode allows the players to select any of the six robots and battle each other. There are numerous different two player battlefields. Some two player battlefields have extra empty robots that players can take control of if their 'droid is destroyed.
Setting-Up Your Game
With your Super NES® turned OFF, insert the game pak into the game unit. Turn the power ON. The legal screens will appear, followed by the game story. Press START to skip the story—although we encourage you to watch through at least once to enhance your gaming experience.
After the story, the logo screen will appear. Select ONE PLAYER, TWO PLAYERS, or go to the OPTIONS mode.
One Player Mode
Select the ONE PLAYER option. In this mode you will be briefed as to your mission objectives immediately prior to battle. It is your responsibility to carry out these objectives as quickly as possible. Only by completing all nine missions will the Free Earth forces triumph.

Robot Damage
There are no life bars in the game. The robot shows its damage. First, it will dent and turn dark. When it starts to spark you can't use power-ups, except for Repair Units.
If your arms fall off, your offensive power is gone. If the Robot is killed with you in it, you are dead. Don't be afraid to bail out of a failing robot—you may find an empty suit somewhere else.
On/Off Switches
Sometimes players are required to exit the robot to open doors or lower force fields. Look for switches that can be turned on/off by the player's Robot Pilot. You must stand near the switch until the pilot finishes activating the switch.
Power-Ups Overview
Power-ups appear in gray boxes. Shoot them to open them. Walk over the item to pick it up.
Some power-ups are generated on spots marked "PORT" in the game. Ports continue to produce power-ups after you take one. Learning to use the ports is a big advantage in two-player mode.
Power-Up Types
•
Bouncing Bullets: Bullets bounce off walls. Takes effect when picked up.
•
Seeking Bullets: Bullets track nearest target. Takes effect when picked up.
•
Repair Unit: Repairs all damage on robot. Takes effect when picked up.
•
Grenade Pack: Pickup to mount on robot. L BUTTON Fires grenade. Lasts short time so keep firing!

Nitro Strategy
Use flight to land close to targets and attack with the Beam Sabre, or to escape losing situations and grab out-of-reach power-ups in two player games. Pin opponents against walls with the Beam Sabre or offensively lure them into temporary energy walls.
Havoc Strategy
Utilize Havoc's powerful, fast-firing gun and the Blade Chain, which has good range and a useful upward strike. In two player games, use speed movement to avoid dangerous enemy attacks like DRACHE's power dive.
Y Button (Ballistic)
Fires Machine Rifle.
X Button (Ballistic)

L Button (Ballistic)
Use Power-up.
R Button (Ballistic)
Activate single-direction shield.
Ballistic Strategy
Utilize Ballistic's ramming attack via high speed movement and the huge shot from the Plasma Cannon. Experiment with the Plasma Cannon and try to use rockets in conjunction with it to dish out massive damage.
Drache Strategy
Use the power dive attack to destroy enemies, especially those riding elevators, or combine it with the Reverse Gravity power-up to dive upwards. If an opponent avoids the power dive, employ hit and run tactics to quickly acquire and use power-ups.
Enemies & Characters
HAVOC
A durable and dangerous front line fighter that serves as the shock troops of the Axis forces. It is equipped with a Full-Auto Machine Rifle, a Chain Blade, and jet-powered zip rollers for high-speed ground movement.
PROMETHEUS

BALLISTIC
A mobile gun platform and heavy-assault battledroid armed with a High Energy Plasma Cannon to support Havoc units. It has the unique ability to fold into a ball to move quickly and ram opponents.
SPIDER
An unusual battledroid used for commando operations that can stick to walls and ceilings, as well as turn invisible when stationary. It is equipped with a hovering Battle Drone to provide offensive firepower.
