Bosses have always been a memorable staple for Streets of Rage fans. They are diverse and challenging battles that force players to truly master the skill set of their preferred character.

Here’s how to unlock Boss Rush Mode in Streets of Rage 4.
Boss Rush Mode in Streets of Rage 4
Boss Rush Mode allows players to go back and replay all 11 boss battles in quick succession. This needs to be done all at once. There is no saving the game to come back later or button-mashing through a bunch of pawns. The mode is non-stop brawl through the most dangerous residents of Oak City. The good news is that after each boss, there is a drop of power-ups and health. Players who master earlier bosses will be able to take on the next with a full health bar.
Rush Mode is a fun way to practice techniques and test skills. For many players, this is the highlight of their time with the game. Unlocking this mode is pretty easy to do.
How To Unlock Boss Rush Mode in Streets of Rage 4
To unlock Boss Rush mode, players need to get through the entire story of the main game. This can be a challenging endeavor depending on the difficulty setting. Saving Wood Oak City from the Y Twins isn’t necessarily an easy task. Players who can get up and rise to the challenge will be able to take on the new challenge of Boss Rush Mode.
A pro-tip is to decide whether or not players want to take the story easy or not the first time around. Streets of Rage 4 has a forgiving difficulty system. Interested players who just want to get to the action of this post-game mode are welcome to lower the overall difficulty of their first playthrough. Doing so will greatly improve the ease with which they complete the main story. Whether players decide to take the easy road of the hard one, Boss Rush Mode is worth it.
