I've noticed an odd inconsistency between releases for the Metal Slug 3 track, "STEEL BEAST 6BEETS." Both the sound box and the original soundtrack use 6BEETs, the digital release on Mora uses 6 as well, but like all instances excluding the original soundtrack and sound box the spelling has been corrected to "Beats." The weird part is every other release (the CD/Vinyl by WayƓ Records, the SNK Arcade Sound Digital Collection Vol.13, Amazon, Ototoy, iTunes (US) and iTunes (JP) have it labeled as "7Beats" instead of 6. Looking further into it though I believe that "7Beats" was actually a correction as opposed to a mistake because in the first Metal Slug this song follows a 5/8 time signature, in Metal Slug 2/X it's in 6/8, in Metal Slug 3 it's in 7/8 and in Metal Slug 6 alternates between 6/8 and 7/8 every measure.
