References

• Blaze Fielding looks remarkably similar to the main character in the 1985 Sega arcade game Flashgal, and a lot from that game made its way into the Streets of Rage series. Just from the screenshots at KLOV, there is a level in front of a building similar to the White House, a level with motorcycles (both from Streets of Rage 3), although the motorcycle level was cut from retail units and only exists in prototype carts) and a Rocket-pack enemy (Streets of Rage 2).
