Streets of Rage 2
Cheat mode
Highlight the "Options" selection at the main menu, then hold A + B on controller two, then hold C on controller one. Keep all buttons held until additional options that allow level selection, new difficulty levels (Mania and Very Easy), and increasing number of lives up to nine appear.
Hint: Stage 6: Kill one Boss only
In stage 6, with the 2 bosses, defeat Souther (the Boss with claws) and Stealth (the other Boss) will die as well.
Hint: Surviving throws
When you are thrown by an enemy, hold Up and hold C (Jump) to land safely. Note: You will not land safely when you are flung off an edge --you will still take damage.
