Bad Ending Route...and more!

Here's what happens if you don't save the Mayor in time. Now with 100% more Roo.

If you're wondering why the City Hall looks a bit like the White House, that's because it is the White House. The story was changed greatly from the Japanese version.

You'll be fighting a lot of bad guys on your way to the press conference, including red versions of the G-Men, some of whom have really big life bars. When you make it to the press conference, you'll find out the fake Chief of Police is really Shiva!

This time around, he's hard as hell! He'll block a lot of your attacks, he's really fast, he's really strong and to top it all off, he has a few new moves in his repertoire that weren't in the last game, including a charging jump kick! There's a few health pickups if you go all the way down on this screen that you can work with, but this can still be a difficult battle if you're not careful.

If you let the timer expire during the battle against Robot Y, you get this. (This is a translated version of the Japanese language, hence the English text.)

Here's the Japanese version of the aforementioned ending, which is a lot darker. Robot Y is known as "Neo Y" here...

This is what happens if you beat Level 5 on Easy. Amazingly, this isn't in the Japanese version. (Skip to 9:12.)

Here's Ash, who was shown in the Japanese version and omitted in the West. He's so stereotypically gay, it's both offensive and ridiculous. He can, however, be accessed via game enhancement devices such as Game Genie or Pro Action Replay.

Here's the REAL intro from the Japanese version, translated to English via a patch. The General was replaced with the Chief of Police in the Western version, which was brutally censored for reasons unknown.

Here's the motorcycle stage from the beta version that never made it...

...as well as the bridge stage that came after it.

Round 6 had some lost areas that you can only access with a combination of emulation and PAR codes.
