Get Allen Jr's card
In mission 5, find and kill Allen. (He has a large machine gun, throws grenades and will slash you with a knife if you get close and is different to any normal enemy) When you do kill him, he will drop a card. Collect it, then complete the level without dieing to keep the Allen Jr card.

Get the boss cards
When you are fighting a boss, you must destroy it very quickly to get its card (A message will appear on screen informing you that you have the card) To defeat the bosses quickly you must have lots of grenades and a special weapon (like the flame shot for the fourth boss) or use the Metal Slug if you can get it (Second, third and final boss)

Unlock Decoration Card
You need the "paper thin" card. Turn it on, then complete any mission. With paper thin turned on you will die with just one hit. The easiest way to get the decoration card is to complete mission 2, mainly because there is a Metal Slug at the near start of the level which is shielded, so if you can manage to get through the level with the Metal Slug it shouldn't be as difficult to get the card.

Glitches
Bypass Airplane Level
After you jump into your plane slug in Mission 5 and go onto the next screen, quickly press up until you're on top of the screen, press left and hold it. Now the enemy planes won't show up on screen and if you hold your position long enough, you will finish the level without encountering any enemies.
