This time though, there isn’t a police officer wielding a taser. Just before the boss battle you’ll see the arcade cabinet in plain sight, in the room with all the golden chickens. The fourth and final retro level can be found in the eighth stage, called Art Gallery. At this point you know the drill, take down the musclebound unit and grab your star move from one of the boxes. The taser is hidden under a table just to the right of the cabinet, and will be revealed when that charging nutter, Caramel, headbutts it!Īfter zapping the cabinet this time you’ll be warped to the stage 4 boss of Street of Rage 2, The Ultimate Warrior look-alike, Abadede. One thing to look out for here, though, is that this cabinet is in a fight zone, and so can very easily be destroyed by a rushing goon. The arcade cabinet is in the second section of the level in the biker bar, and is impossible to miss. The third slice of retro can be found in the fifth level, titled Underground.
The fight against Zamza is a pain, but once you beat him a crate will drop down containing your precious star move reward. This time you’re warped to the boss of Streets of Rage 2’s stage 3, Zamza. Again, be sure not to use the taser from the previous battle and then zap the hell out of the Bare Knuckle cabinet in the arcade to access the retro fight. Just before jumping down to the second level, you’ll notice there’s an arcade behind you that has an open door to access it on the right side. The second retro fight can be found in the fourth level, called Old Pier. After defeating him be sure to destroy the small sign in the bottom right corner to earn your star move reward. In this first retro level you’ll be facing the stage 1 boss from Streets of Rage 2, the knife wielding Jack. When you’re ready to progress you’ll notice an open door with an arcade cabinet tucked away in the room inside. Now deal with all the other enemies in the area, but be sure NOT to use the taser or risk losing it. Before the cells open, a police officer called Barney will attack you with a taser.įinish him off and make a note of where the taser drops. The first secret retro stage can be found in the second level, titled Police Precinct, just before reaching the security checkpoint. The key is finding the old-school Bare Knuckle arcade cabinets you’ll often stumble across and giving them a strategic zap from a taser, which will always be found nearby. Link: Shoryuken.There are four bonus retro levels hidden throughout Streets of Rage 4, and they can all be accessed by using the same trick.
Thanks to vani77a for sharing this on the forums.
If you can’t be bothered to win yourself, here’s a video of it and the “hidden” ending. Also, apparently the developers of DDND were working on a PC/PSP HD remake of Streets of Rage and reveal this if you win the extremely cheesy 1-on-7 battle after the credits.
You can download DDND here, from Game Front. A lot of (potentially misplaced) love went into this one! I especially like the long ending sequence that shows off the actors behind-the-scenes. The supreme goofiness is obviously the star of the game, but it also handles better than most fan-made fighters out there.
According to one of the developers, it took 3 years of work to make and uses 10,000 photos! And it shows, actually – the features include 36 animated backdrops and 24 unique playable characters, each with a full complement of normal moves, specials, and supers.ĭDND is not particularly balanced or complex or anything, but I had a good time playing through the Story Mode, which takes you on a quest to find and defeat the mysterious “Biochemistry Man”.
