* '''Roo''' (known as '''Victy''' in Japan): The party encounters this kangaroo in the downtown Atlas district that is Round 2. Roo wears boxing gloves and green or blue pants. During the players' encounter with him in Round 2, he is controlled by Bruce, a whip-wielding trainer. If the player manages to defeat Bruce before Roo, Roo will run off and is then unlocked. Roo is capable of different spinning attacks, and kicking while standing on his tail. Interestingly, he uses a lot of the same voice samples as Skate. He cannot hold weapons. There is a code which can be entered at the 'Press Start' screen to have Roo unlocked from the beginning. If you reach the end of Round 2-1 with Roo, you will still have to fight Roo as a boss. Unlike Ash and Shiva, Roo has a profile picture. | * '''Roo''' (known as '''Victy''' in Japan): The party encounters this kangaroo in the downtown Atlas district that is Round 2.

*Several pre-release screenshots show that there was originally a section where the players got to ride the motorcycles they are so often attacked by. This section was removed for the final version, but is still playable (though buggy and unfinished) with a Game Genie code in the Japanese version. | |||
*The Japanese version of ''[[Sonic Gems Collection]]'' includes ''Bare Knuckle I'', ''II'', ''III'' (''Streets of Rage 1'', ''2'' and ''3''). These, along with ''[[Bonanza Bros.]]'', are excluded from releases outside Japan to obtain lower age ratings. | |||
*The ninja characters named Chiba and Kosugi are probably a reference to martial artist actors [[Sonny Chiba]] and [[Sho Kosugi]]. | |||
*This game is very rare in the UK and, though European copies are often available on the UK version of [[eBay]], they are typically expensive. This also extends to the rest of Europe. | |||
*In [[Streets of Rage 2]], the fighters can do all of their throws on the fat, fire-breathing enemies. In ''Streets of Rage 3'', only throws which involve non-lifting slams or strikes would work, the rest would result in the player being crushed underneath their enormous weight. This was also the case in ''Streets of Rage'' 1. | |||
* Axel and Skate are absent from the European box art, while the new character Zan appears alongside Blaze. | |||
