BirthofaNova plays Streets of Rage - Part 2 of 7

Look, guys! Slums!

Steel barrels carry items both old and new as you fight your way through the worse-off parts of town.

Money gives you 1000 points. When you get 50,000 points, you receive an extra life. You also get one for every 100,000 points you earn after that.

One of the new things you'll find here is a pepper shaker. It's even more of a one-use-only weapon than the knife (at least you an stab people with the knife before you throw it). If it hits any enemies after you throw it, it stuns them for a brief time. Use that time to beat them up scot-free!

The tiny figurines of Adam, Axel and Blaze clumped together are an extra life. If you find one, grab it!

A new enemy appears later in the level: a street juggler. Sometimes they'll juggle torches, sometimes they juggle axes. They both hurt, so don't try to grab them. Instead, fight them with your standard attack or with your jump kick. They'll also stop to throw objects at you during which you'll have more than enough time to hit them, stun them and then grab them.

The boss here is some Freddy Krueger look-alike without the hat. He'll try to scratch you with his claws. Whatever you do, do not use jump kicks; he will instantly try to dodge it and hit you with a blurry, seemingly fast set of claw swipes.

Enemies (mostly Galsias) will show up, giving you ammunition to fight him from afar with. Line him up and take him out!

You can grab him like you did the first boss. It usually involves walking to him from an angle, just to throw him off. One of the normal enemies that pops up has a knife. Hope your aim is true.
