After beating Stage 5 of this game, the game's plot will now diverge depending on your actions. After defeating the fake Mr. X robot, the heroes now have to travel through other areas of the Syndicate's headquarters in order to fine and rescue the president.

This is much easier said than done, though. The first room you start in Stage 6 has you on the top floor against some hopping robots. What you need to do is find two control units in different rooms and destroy them. They're each on the remaining two floors of the stage, but there are several doors to find in each room. You have to pick the right one, or you'll either each a dead end with items, or a trap room full of enemies. The doors themselves won't open until you've beaten the enemies that meet you in each room.

HOWEVER! The worst part of this is that you're actually running on a time limit, something that didn't even exist in this game until down. When that time runs out, the security will unleash poison gas everywhere in the main area! This will clear out the enemies and keep all of the doors open, but this will also slowly kill you, and even worse so, the Chief of Police.

In the American version of this game, you actually have less time to save him before he dies from the poison gas than you do in the Japanese version. The game won't continue on until you do whether or not you save him in time. That's why both control units must be found and destroyed.

For this video, however, in order to show off every path in the game, I purposely choose to be too slow and let the chief die. Don't worry. I'll make up for this later. When you do find him dying, he still manages to let slip that Mr. X has unleashed a robot copy of the chief and is sending him to City Hall for a conference that will no doubt do more harm than good.

Axel's crew is then forced to leave the dead chief behind, managing to make escape the gassed area by heading out the top of the building. From there, they encounter the Jet Force as this stage's boss. Jet himself looks much older than he was in Streets of Rage 2. He fights the same way, just as his Rocket mooks do, but now he has also has a frontal flamethrower!

The Rockets are a nuisance, because they'll keep coming even after you kill them. Just focus on smacking Jet out of the sky.

When you do, more Rockets show up, seemingly cornering Axel's whole time, but then they get gunned down by a helicopter piloted by none other than Adam, who finally makes his grand return!

See me fail to save the Chief of Police, in his original form of General Petrov, in my Japanese run through this stage, here!:
