- Back to: Streets of Rage 3.
Contents
Extended lives options
Highlight Lives in the options screen, hold 
+
+
+
on Controller 2, and press 
or 
on Controller 1. This will extend the maximum number of starting lives from 5 to 9.
Level select
Highlight Battle in the main menu, hold + (now highlighting Options), then press START . A different sound will confirm correct entry, and a level select will now appear in the Options menu.
The level select will only go up to Stage 6, but Game Genie code CC2T-JAC2 will enable Stages 7A and 7B in this menu.
Advanced level select
A more advanced level select is hidden in the game, requiring Pro Action Replay code FFFB01:0010 to access it. Unlike the above, this screen allows starting from exact scenes, including the unused motorbike levels (see below). This screen can be accessed in both Bare Knuckle III and Streets of Rage 3.
Play as the same character
Hold 
+ on Controller 2 while selecting 2 Player or Battle. Both players will now be able to select the same character as each other.
Hidden characters
Roo/Victy
Defeat Bruce/Danch without defeating Roo/Victy in Stage 2. When continuing after running out of lives, he can be selected.
Alternatively, Roo can be unlocked at the beginning by holding + and pressing START at the title screen.
Shiva
In Streets of Rage 3, defeat Shiva in Stage 1, and hold + START on Controller 1. When continuing after running out of lives, he can be selected.
Ash
In Bare Knuckle III, defeat Ash in Stage 1, and hold on Controller 1 when dealing the final blow. When continuing after running out of lives, he can be selected, albeit with a different palette than his boss form.
As the Ash boss is removed from the localised Streets of Rage 3, he can only be unlocked legitimately in the Japanese Bare Knuckle III. However, the character is still intact in the Western version and can be enabled as a playable character by using Game Genie code BAWA-AAA0.
"Super" Skate
Start the game as Skate, and lose your first life without getting any points. When Skate respawns, will trigger a rapid flailing attack and will down most enemies in one hit. This effect will last for the rest of the game, regardless of whether Skate dies again or continues are used.
"Super" Zan
On the Player Select screen, highlight Zan and hold on both controllers, and keep the buttons held until the first level begins.
Unused content
Motorbiking levels
Two unused motorbike levels exist within the game, both following Stage 6 and leading to their respective levels whether the player rescued General Ivan Petrov/the Chief of Police in time or not. One is set in the wasteland where the player has to get to Mr. X's base while avoiding a biker throwing petrol bombs, while the other is set on a bridge with Donovan chucking barrels at the player in an attempt to stop them from reaching the White House/city hall.
These levels are at their most functional in Bare Knuckle III, leading to where they go as intended, but are completely unplayable in Streets of Rage 3 due to the pointers for the graphics and palettes being corrupted; the wasteland ends as soon as it loads, and the bridge crashes when it ends. Copying the relevant data from a Bare Knuckle III savestate will help fix these issues.
