You have to admit, there isn't much in the way of original ideas, but this really feels like a early 1990s Saturday morning cartoon come alive.
If you can stay at the bottom at the start, move past the sleeping Jaxom, walk between the two steel drums and grab the one on the right, you can throw it on the Jaxom and destroy him before he can wake up.
You can grab the radio off of the fence by punching it.
Fighting multiple Ryukens is a lot easier when you throw one of them into another and keep them all on one side.
Lollypop Jr. is just like Lollypop, but with a smaller life bar.
Nice animation on the door when it slides open, by the way.
There are crusher plates in the second section, and they will stamp the parts of the floor that look like bright, translucent glass. The area they cover is well-marked and easy to avoid when you need to.
R. Spike is just a red version of Spike. This time, though, his pants are black and the accessories are red.
Be careful near those huge smelters of molten metal. When they tip over and pour, you'll want to stay away from the small pit that this lava-like substance will travel through for a few seconds. Again, these are clearly marked compared to other beat-em-ups, so you'll know where not to stand.
The boss here is Doyle, some guy wearing what looks like one of those Power Loaders from the Aliens series along with a mechanical chicken beak on his face. This guy's forklift-like appendages have some range, so you'll want to be careful when you get near this guy. He can not only swipe at you and extend the tip of his metallic arm parts to poke you right in the face, but he can also grab you, too.
If you're going to hit him while he's down, use your crouching attack or punch him from up close once and then sidestep away so he doesn't whack you in the process of getting up (which is a very solid attack of his, by the way).
Whenever you knock Doyle down, he also teleports around the room in a jetpack. Great, we're not only stealing from Final Fight, we're stealing from Streets of Rage II as well. He'll also do that swipe attack after he lands, so you don't want to be near him until then.
When you beat Doyle, his jetpack explodes and he's sent falling into the molten lava in the background.
Final Fight Round 4 vs Violent Storm Round 4: Wasn't Round 4 an industial area in the other game, too?
