Rootmars

Rootmars is the tyrannical leader of the Mars People and the main antagonist of Metal Slug 3.
==Story==
===Metal Slug 2/X===
Rootmars plotted the invasion of Earth. The Martians backed up the Rebel Army with technology and resources to fight against the Regular Army. However, the Rebels were merely a tool to them, and the Martians were planning on allowing the Rebels and the Regular Army to weaken each other, then use this as an advantage to conquer the world.
===Metal Slug 3===
After the Martians failed in their last attempt, they took on a new approach: abducting General Morden and sending a martian disguised as him to lead the Rebels and start a new coup d'état, causing numerous supernatural phenomena throughout the world. As the martians were unmasked, they kidnapped one of the Regular Army commandos and made their escape, immediately pursued by the rebels and the Regular Army. Their ship Rugname was invaded and Rootmars, who was controlling the ship using its brainpower, was put out of commission, thus triggering the self destruction of the ship. As the heroes made their escape from the self-destructing ship, Rootmars made a last attempt to kill them, but was ultimately defeated and he sank to the bottom of the sea.
===Metal Slug 6===
With Rootmars gone, the Invaders used the opportunity to attack both the Mars People and Earth. However, with assistance from the Rebel Army, the Martians were able to recover Rootmars from the bottom of the sea. The Mars People and the Rebel Army later incorporated the Regular Army into their alliance to destroy the Invaders. If the player rides Rootmars in the 4th mission, then he will appear to rescue the players at the end of the final mission.
===Metal Slug 7/XX===
While Rootmars doesn't make an appearance, some Martians are seen rescuing Morden and his army. This shows that the Martians are once again allies to the Rebel Army.

Rootmars appears as a Boss in the Shadows of Smash mode and an alternate Final Boss in the Classic Mode.

The player will began from the exit of Rugname right when one of the Metal Slug Soldiers (Marco, Eri, Tarma or Fio, randomly) unlocks the password to open the giant door and escape the explosion in a Metal Slug, right in middle of the falling, Rootmars will grab the Metal Slug and the player will jump out of the tank and fight against him.
For this battle, you'll have one of the Metal Slug Soldiers (randomly as mentioned above) as an ally.
His Boss Battle Themes are "Final Attack (Metal Slug 5)" and "Boss (The Minish Cap)" (If Young Link and Vaati fights him in the Classic Mode).
