DenHond plays Streets of Rage for the Sega Master System - Part 4 of 7

Why is the Penguin in this game, and why is he firing rockets at me?

Round 6

In the first stop of the round, you'll finally meet the Red Galsias (just like you did in Genesis/Mega Drive). They take even more damage than the blue ones. Typical.

The crushers are now replaced with laser beams, which is actually a pretty classy way to get past the fact that Master System couldn't do what the Genesis did. Only one set of laser beams can fire down to the floor at a time, so don't worry if you have two on the screen and the lights on both of them flash simultaneously. It's just the system's limitations.

Also, just like in the game's 16-bit counterpart, the fire-breathing guy appears again in Round 6. The strategies from the last fight apply.

You'll start seeing conveyor belts when you're past the second stop of the round. At least they work problem-free on Sega Master System.

On the fourth stop, you'll meet the Freddy Krueger look-alike. Don't worry, we're not fighting the boss...yet. Once you beat him, you'll meet the white Dominatrix girls a little eariler than you did in the 16-bit version.

When you beat the White Signals at the end, you'll finally face the boss, and this time it's a new guy! It's some old man in a top hat, a tuxedo and a purple cape. (I think.) He runs around with a rocket launcher on his back, and he shoots a rocket that seems to home in on you before he runs to the other side and fires again. He'll be alternating sides firing rockets at you, but you can definitely catch this guy on his way from one side to the next and put him in a grab combo. If a rocket is coming towards you, just jump straight up.

Despite being Master System exclusive, he's really not that hard at all. At least he's more original than having two Freddy Krueger-type guys onscreen at once.
