Hidden levels
Four hidden "retro" levels exist within Streets of Rage 4 which recreating boss fights from Streets of Rage 2 (complete with the original Mega Drive graphics). The player is given one life in which to complete the scene, and once the boss is defeated, a star is rewarded.
All are accessed in the same way; pick up a taser and attack an arcade cabinet. This idea is inspired by various works of fiction from the 1990s, such as the manga Video Girl Ai, the TV series Weird Science or Jackie Chan's movie City Hunter which used power surges applied to machines as plot devices[1].
Before the R08 major update of 10 March 2023, characters that cannot pick up weapons (Zan, Shiva and Roo) could not access these stages. Attacking the arcade machines with anything other than tasers would just cause them to break and leave behind a money bag. Since the R08 update, they can enter those stages by attacking them with a defensive special move.
