==Summary==
Rootmars is the leader of the alien army known as Mars People and the final boss of Metal Slug 3. It orchestrated the events of Metal Slug 2 and 3, deceiving both the Rebel Army and the Regular Army, in order to weaken those factions and seize the opportunity to conquer the Earth. However, both sides eventually united to face the common enemy, and boarded the mothership Rugname.
Marco and his comrades managed to reach and battle a fake version of Rootmars in the control room, where it was driving the ship by connecting its brain to it. After the battle, the spaceship collpased, but the real Rootmars showed up, and engaged another fight with the heroes in the skies of the planet. The battle ended with its ultimate defeat and it sank into the depths of the ocean.
Some time later, General Morden and the remaining Mars People reached a true agreement, and rescued Rootmars, but they were suddenly attacked by the Invaders, another alien force and the natural predators of the Mars People. To better contribute in the fight, Rootmars has been restored and took the nickname of "Rootmars Slug", after the famous special war vehicles. It gave its contribution in an aerieal battle against the air forces of the Invaders, and then saved the protagonists after their battle with the Invader King.
