Line 20:
** Snake also has to do this in Metal Gear Ac!d 2. Well, technically - Dalton's blackmailing him into investigating SaintLogic, and if he does so, he'll get pardoned and will be a legal immigrant to the US.
* [[Continuity Nod]]: Nearly all of the card decks, for one. You can even shoot guns that were in the original [[Metal Gear]] games - in sprite form, no less.
** On a side note, some weapons (like the PTRS/PTRD, RPK, et cetera) made their way into [[Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker]]. The XM8 and XM25 got into [[Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots]].
** Venus and Teliko are hidden characters in Portable Ops.
** Kopplethorn is a name in ''Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance'''s wacky Snake Tale "External Gazer", where he made a VR machine... that's powered by destroying alternate universes. Before that, he was mentioned by Meiling in Ghost Babel (but was interrupted by Snake).
Line 66:
* [[Nostalgia Level]]: The {{spoiler|Metal Gear KODOQUE/Pythagoras}} fight in the second game.
** Somewhat played with in MGA2's Arena Mode: The levels are based on MGS1, MGS2, and MGS3, but aren't based off any one level. On the other hand, you can fight Liquid Snake, Revolver Ocelot, Vamp, Fortune, The End, The Boss, Venus and Teliko (The first and last can kill you in a single turn using a SOCOM which sometimes hits up to twenty times!). The enemy teams in arena mode always contain two people and are not randomly generated. Sometimes you'll get seemingly strange pairings (like two Telikos) but other times you get the standard pairings (e.g. Revolver Ocelot & Liquid Snake).
* [[Old Save Bonus]]: If you have photo save files from ''[[Metal Gear Solid 3 Snake Eater]]: Subsistence'', you can connect your [[PSP]] to your [[
* [[Only Mostly Dead]]: Characters can take a ''lot'' of punishment, even being run over by trains, and still be revived on their own as long as there's another party member still alive.
** Mooks, on the other hand...
Line 79:
* [[Theme Naming]]: The names of the Test Subjects and the Metal Gear itself in Ac!d 2 all come from the Kabbalah.
* [[Those Two Guys|Those Two Guys and that Girl]]: The pilots and Consuela, who accompanied Snake to the US before getting caught. They're reunited at the end, but are absent for most of the game (besides some "encouragement" by Dalton and Snake.)
* [[Three Dimensional Episode]]: The second game can be played in 3D, and comes with a "Solid Eye" viewer (no, not the eyepatch from ''[[Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots]]'', a box with separate eyeholes for each half of the screen). Also used for viewing pictures taken from MGS3 in 3D... usually, those of EVA.
* {{spoiler|[[Tomato in the Mirror]]: "Snake" from ''Acid 2'' is actually a clone of the original, who died.}}
* [[Wasted Song]]: The "Metal Gear Solid Main Theme" is heard all-too-briefly during an advertisement for the [[Metal Gear Solid|MGS1 Pack]] in ''Ac!d 2''. The theme has been absent from ''[[Metal Gear]]'' games starting with ''[[Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops|Portable Ops]]'' because of accusations of plagiarism. As a result, this usage in the ad is the only appearance of the original version (by TAPPY) within any of the actual games (not counting soundtracks), the only appearance of the theme in any of the PSP ''[[Metal Gear]]'' games, and its final appearance in any ''[[Metal Gear]]'' game aside from [[Updated Rerelease|Updated Rereleases]].
