Not only do you get to hear all the music, sound and cheesy voices this time around, you also get to see the rest of this awesome arcade-perfect port!
Time Attack
What else can I say? Pick a character, and kill off as many bad guys as you can in 99 seconds.
It gets insane with Haggar, by the way.
Round 4: The Industrial Area
(continued)
Thirty-eight minutes later...
I recommend watching the first 38:37 of the longplay, as there's some pretty interesting stuff in there that I don't really want to spoil.
Anyway, there's an elevator behind that door. As you go up, you'll be dealing with a bunch of enemies as well as some guy climbing a ladder who throws grenades at you. As you beat the bad guys, you'll see weapons as well as some barbecue drop down from above. After three waves of enemies, you'll finally fight the guy who was hounding you with those grenades earlier: Rolento.
He can attack you with that staff, but the main thing to watch out for is when he leaves a blue trail when he runs around. He can attack you with this, so if you still have the pipe or the sword lying around, use that to fight him from a distance. He'll also toss those grenades too. When his health gets down to yellow, Rolento starts going crazy, moving around much faster than normal, tossing grenades as he goes. He'll even walk along the top of the background wall and toss grenades at you from there as he rushes to the other side. Well-placed bunches and weapon strikes win the day here, especially the latter. You should really end this thing as soon as possible. When he's defeated, he accidentally blows himself up. Loser.
Bonus Stage
Break all the glass panes before the time runs out.
Round 5: Bay Area
As you move to the right, you'll be dealing with a lot of fat guys as well as two Andores. When you reach the wooded park area, pay attention so you don't get hit by all the drumcans rolling around.
When you reach the public bathroom stalls, the music changes and there will be even more enemies to deal with. Once you're out of there, the music changes again, and you'll be seeing a zillion motorcycles in the background as well as a lot of red Holly Woods.
Throughout this level, mostly starting with the bathroom stall section, you'll be seeing groups of four enemies, and they're usually one enemy as well as its slightly re-sprited counterpart that attacks exactly following it. You'll be fighting two groups of those guys, and it's pretty easy to group them all up and attack them all at once.
Also, you'll find out the sun is setting and that Metro City has its own version of the Statue of Liberty. Fun.
You'll also fight Abigail, who is basically a white Andore with a different face that makes him look like Hawk from the Legion of Doom/Road Warriors. He can get red and charge right at you, and he is a lot more aggressive with the basic attacks. He even has a grab and toss attack that seems very unremarkable, but takes off more than half of a full bar of health. When you defeat him, you've beaten the stage. Apparently, he's the boss for this stage. Sheesh, that's all the leader of this organization has?
Round 6: Uptown
Just like what Prince sang on Dirty Mind, Uptown is where you wanna be. The final boss is in sight!
As you make your way through the Uptown area (which looks more Downtown than Uptown, at least to me), you'll enter a lavish building. After fighting some more bad guys, you'll take the elevator all the way to the top, where you'll happen upon a rooftop retreat complete with palm trees, a large pool with lawn chairs, umbrellas and even a diving board, and more bad guys.
When you make it to the front door, you'll be fighting off even more bad guys. You'll be dodging chandeliers as well as you make it into the final chamber, where you'll meet Belger!
Knock Belger off the chair (which you can also destroy) and toss him and his henchmen around. That'll do some massive damage! Watch out for that crossbow he shoots at you with, as it can deal some hellacious damage.
When you defeat Belger, you've done it! You've beaten a totally awesome port!
