![]() ![]() It's no coincidence that the fat enemies in the game often go by the name of 'Heart'. ![]() In fact, Sega changed the name of the character from 'Sammy' in Bare Knuckle 2 (Japanese release) into Skate in Streets of Rage 2 (US release) and the US publisher for the Megadrive conversion of DJ Boy was the company "Sammy". This arcade game developed by Kaneko was later published by Sega on the megadrive. The character Skate resembles DJ Boy (from the game DJ Boy, another side-scrolling beat-em-up game).This may be a reference to "Fat Boo" from Dragonball Z, which looks an awful lot like the SoR2 character Big Ben. Before the Round 4 Stadium, you can see a sign that says "It's like Boo!".They're named after Talk Uchimura (Planning & System design) and Wanta (Project management).

Yuzo Koshiro claims to have been influenced by early 90's European club music while producing the soundtrack for SoR 2. He is worth about 10,000 points, much more than any other non-boss character. In Stage 1, there is an enemy called MC.K who only appears once in the entire game. (Shotokan, by the way, is the fighting technique Ryu, Ken, and Akuma use in Capcom's Street Fighter series).

In early beta versions of Streets of Rage 2, Axel had two very different (and familiar) attacks: a move VERY similar to a Shotokan Dragon Punch, and.a Shotokan Hurricane Kick? Console Generation Exclusive: Sega Genesis.There are changes in both graphics (characters now are bigger, more detailed and with more animation frames, and scenarios are less grainy) and gameplay (the rocket move was replaced by a special move that doubles in offense and defense along several new moves), along other new features such as life bars (and names) for all enemies and the radically different new characters. Streets of Rage 2 differs from the previous title in several ways. Now, Axel, Blaze, Sammy, and Axel's good friend Max, a pro wrestler, must head out to stop Mr. X, who returned to turn the peaceful city once again into a war zone. One year later, after their reunion, Adam's brother Sammy returned from school to find their apartment in a mess, and Adam nowhere to be seen, and after calling his two friends, one of them notices a photo of Adam chained to a wall, next to someone they knew very well - Mr. X, the city became a peaceful place to live, and each one of them followed their own paths.
