Streets of Rage 4: How To Unlock All Retro Levels, Every Retro Level Location

Streets of Rage 4 has some hidden secrets including a set of retro levels. Here’s how you can unlock every retro level and defeat the secret boss.

Some of the things that are included in Streets of Rage 4 are retro levels and filters. You can enable the CRT filter to convert everything to 16bit. You can also find four hidden stages taken from Streets of Rage 2. Get to know more about the hidden stages with this guide.

These retro levels are hidden through the “Bare Knuckle” arcade cabinet. You can find four of them throughout the whole game. To open these retro levels, try to find a taser that is usually nearby and use it on them.

To finish the retro stage, you must beat the boss in a single life. If you lose, you will start from the beginning.

Street of Rage 4 Secret Retro Level Locations:

Retro Stage 1

The first Retro level that has a secret boss in it can be found once you reach level two of the police station. If you recall, there is a part here where you will come face-to-face with two shield-wielding officers. You can spot the first Bare Knuckles cabinet here. To get the taser, you need to find the big officer and grab it off him.

Retro Stage 2

To obtain this secret boss, enter the arcade before leaping from the pier and zap the cabinet with a taser.

Retro Stage 3

This hidden level may be found in stage 5. You’ll find it in the bar section, with the taser beneath the table.

Retro Stage 4

This final secret level may be found at level 8, shortly before the final boss, in the form of a cabinet. The taser will be concealed behind some background and you need the flashlight to look for it.

Streets of Rage 4 is available now for the PS4, Xbox One, PC, and Nintendo Switch.
