PrinceWatercress plays Streets of Rage for the Sega Master System - Part 2 of 4


Anybody noticed that the game is more generous with the extra lives than the Genesis/Mega Drive version? I have.

Round 3


Gotta love the 8-bit rendition of "Back to the Industry" from Streets of Rage II here.

True to the Genesis version of the game, you start seeing the stronger versions of Galsia here. As I mentioned earlier, the green and blue Galsias have reversed on the food chain here.

Abadede appears at the end. Beating him up is a little trickier this time, as you can't even touch him even if he already performed the lariat; touching him at any time will damage you. You'll have to get him to line up with you, then start punching away with your standing combo and knock him down with it. You can also move around in a diamond-shaped pattern as soon as you see him coming your way and hit him with a few punches from behind. That also works.

Stop 1: 2 Green Galsias, 2 Blue Galsias
Stop 2: 3 Red Kung Fu Guys, 4 Blue Galsias
Stop 3: 3 Red Kung Fu Guys
Stop 4: 4 Blue Galsias, 2 Red Dominatrixes

Round 4


The music here is a combination of "Keep The Groovin'" and "Slow Moon", from the first and second games, respectively.

The Black Domintrixes show up at the first stop, and some of them will do the whole "kneel down after one hit then strike back when you turn away and move a specific distance away from them" technique. The Green Signals will show up right after you take those two down.

When you reach the second stop, you'll finally meet the Kung Fu Guys with blue trim. Told you they'd show up.

All through the level, you'll see those huge gaps in the bridge, and thankfully you can still knock the enemies into them with great effect. For best results, use German suplexes.

Just when you think the level has enough tricks up its sleeves, the last two enemies you'll face in Round 4 are White Signals, which take even more damage than the green ones!

The big fat fire-breathing guy is back in Round 4, and just like in the Genesis/Mega Drive version, you can't throw or suplex him. Since he's always breathing fire, your best bet it to lure him to the top of the screen and keep jumping forward, hitting him with jump kicks, and backing off to prepare the next jump kick until he dies. You can also perform the "two knees, two vaults" strategy here as well.

Stop 1: 2 Black Dominatrixes, 2 Green Signals
Stop 2: 2 Green Signals, 2 Black Dominatrixes, 2 Blue Kung Fu Guys
Stop 3: 2 Green Signals
Stop 4: 2 Green Signals, 2 Blue Galsias, 3 White Signals
