CHEAT MENU

To access the Streets of Rage 2 cheats, you first need to open the cheat menu. At the Main Menu screen, hold down [A] + [B] on your Genesis controller 2 whilst also pressing options at the same time. 

This will bring up a hidden menu that allows you to choose the difficulty (ranging from Very Easy to Mania), select the starting stage, and choose how many lives you want to start with (up to a maximum of 9). 

‘FISTS OF DEATH’ MODE

This is less of a cheat, and more of an unlock. Yet, it is still worth mentioning as the Fists of Death mode in Streets of Rage 2 brings boundless fun! In this mode, you can kill enemies with one hit, meaning you can fly through the game at a pace set entirely by yourself. 

In order to unlock the Fists of Death mode, simply complete the game once with any character. Then, it will become available. 

2 PLAYER SAME CHARACTER

One of the lesser known Streets of Rage 2 cheats is a code inputted to allow both players to be the same character at the same time. 

To do this, press down [B] and Right on the Player 1 controller, and Left and [A] on the Player 2 controller. Whilst everything is still pressed in, Press [C] on the Player 2 controller. 

If everything is inputted correctly, you will now be able to select the same character as Player 1 and Player 2.
