== Stage 4 ==
== Stage 4 ==
The only two things that the fourth stage has in common with it's older arcade brother, is that it takes place in more than one scene (several in fact), and it features a boss that fires a gun.  Beyond that, Stage 4 on the NES and SMS is a veritable labyrinth of rooms and battles which you must successfully navigate without getting lost and sent back to the start of the stage.  On higher levels of difficulty, you can even be sent back to the start of the ''third'' stage.  What follows is a full break down of every room of the fourth stage of the first level of difficult on the NES port.  The correct choice will be italicized.  Each level has it's own solution, and the SMS solutions are entirely different from the NES version.

'''Start''': This is where the stage begins.  Before you can venture anywhere into the interior of the buildings, you must fight off a gang of thugs who hang out in the alley outside.  The good news is, this is the largest number of enemies that you will have to fight in any on area.  The bad news is, you're the farthest you can possibly be from the boss.  After you have defeated all of them, the left and the right doors will open.
* Left door: '''A'''
* ''Right door'': '''C'''
| [[Image:Renegade_NES_Stage4_A.png|thumb|right|Part A]]
'''A''': If this was your first choice, it was not your best, but you will have a chance to correct it by taking the right door.  You'll have to take on three pipe wielders from the biker gang, two at a time.
* Left door: '''Start'''
* Center door: '''B'''
* Right door: '''C'''

'''B''': Consider this room a dead end.  There are no doors to take when you complete this battle against a room full of angry ladies.  Ironically, you will be shown the stage complete quote for completing it, but you will just find yourself back at the '''Start''' of the stage when the game continues.  You'll have no choice but to survive and start over.  Don't retrace your steps to this room.
| [[Image:Renegade_NES_Stage4_C.png|thumb|right|Part C]]
'''C''': This is the first step in the right direction.  You'll have to fight three stick wielders from the subway gang in the first stage, two at a time.  Jump kick them until they fall on the floor and sit on them to pummel their lights out.  Or grab their collar when they are stunned and pummel them with your knee before you toss them over your shoulder to finish them.
* ''Left door'': '''D'''
* Right door: '''E'''
|-
| [[Image:Renegade_NES_Stage4_D.png|thumb|left|Part D]]
'''D''': You may feel a bit unlucky as you enter this room.  You will be confronted by not one, but two copies of the boss from the first stage.  This won't be an easy fight.  Try to continuously jump kick one of them until they are completely knocked out before going after the second.  Dash punches can sometimes take both of them out, but if you stop too soon, you may get picked up and throttled.
* ''Left door'': '''F'''
* Right door: '''Start'''
| [[Image:Renegade_NES_Stage4_E.png|thumb|right|Part E]]
'''E''': Don't breathe a sigh of relief just because there's only one woman in here.  Not only is it the difficult boss from the third stage, but after you defeat the first one, a ''second'' boss woman will appear and fight you.  Keep your health up for the second battle, or you won't make it.  An odd twist of fate makes the right door an infinite loop back into this room.
* Left door: '''G'''
* Right door: '''E'''
|-
| [[Image:Renegade_NES_Stage4_F.png|thumb|left|Part F]]
'''F''': Don't look now, but there are bikers inside the building.  You will have to jump kick in order to knock two of them off their bikes before the three doors at the top will open.  Then you will have a tough choice.
* Left door: '''H'''
* ''Center door'': '''I'''
* Right door: '''B'''
| [[Image:Renegade_NES_Stage4_G.png|thumb|right|Part G]]
'''G''': Apparently, the owner of the building has no problem with (or no control over) the biker gang riding motorcycles in the building.  This room has more available exits than any other room in the building.  Knock three bikers off to open the doors.  From the left to right, you have:
* 1st door: '''B'''
* 2nd door: '''E'''
* 3rd door: '''H'''
* 4th door: '''J'''
|-
| [[Image:Renegade_NES_Stage4_H.png|thumb|left|Part H]]
'''H''': More of the stage 1 boss.  And after you finish the one of two that you see initially, a third will come to join the fight.  Keep your strength up as best as you can.
* Left door: '''L'''
* Center door: '''M'''
* Right door: '''N'''
| [[Image:Renegade_NES_Stage4_I.png|thumb|right|Part I]]
'''I''': More bike riders inside the building.  Now you have to knock out three of them in order to continue.  Only two doors this time, and whether you realize it or not, you're very close to the final boss of the game.  Choose wisely.
* Left door: '''E'''
* ''Right door'': '''K'''
|-
| [[Image:Renegade_NES_Stage4_J.png|thumb|left|Part J]]
'''J''': A room full of angry women with handbags, you will only be forced to fight two of them at a time.  From here, no choice is great.  In fact, you're better off taking the left door and starting over than choosing the right door and ending up in room E.
* Left door: '''Start'''
* Right door: '''E'''
| [[Image:Renegade_NES_Stage4_K.png|thumb|right|Part K]]
'''K''': This is it!  You made it to the room of the fourth Stage boss, mob leader Sabu.  He doesn't plan on fighting fair: he's packing a gun, and he won't hesitate to use it on you.  One hit and you're dead, no matter how much life you had.  The good news is, you'll start over in the room with him.  You'll have to stay safe and jump kick him up close in order to avoid making him reach for his gun and shoot at you.  Just as in the arcade, he can only shoot left or right, so you're safe if you're above or below him.  But not for long if you stand still.  Keep moving and surprise him.  Defeat him and you'll beat the game.  Congratulations!

| [[Image:Renegade_NES_Stage4_L.png|thumb|left|Part L]]
'''L''': Naturally, the boss from the second stage will finally make their appearance late into the building.  In fact, there are two of them.  Fighting these guys won't be much different than fighting the boss from Stage 1.  Keep moving, and try your best to concentrate on one before you attack the other.
* Left door: '''Start'''
* Center door: '''A'''
* Right door: '''O'''
| [[Image:Renegade_NES_Stage4_M.png|thumb|right|Part M]]
'''M''': You won't be happy to find out what's behind door M.  It's two of the boss ladies from stage 3.  If you thought fighting two of the bosses from stage 1 or 2 was difficult, this one may put an end to you.  You'll need to do your best to keep one on the same horizontal level as you, and one on a different horizontal level.  This will keep the second one from attacking you.  Dash from one side of the room to the other, causing the women to follow you.  When they catch up to you, prepare to jump kick them three times to knock one of the down.  Then run to the other side of the room and start the process over.  If you can help it, try to focus on one woman until she is defeated before switching to the other.
* Left door: '''A'''
* Right door: '''G'''
|-
| [[Image:Renegade_NES_Stage4_N.png|thumb|left|Part N]]
'''N''': Your eyes aren't playing tricks on you; you are up against three copies of the boss from stage 2.  Unless you keep your back to a wall or stand in a corner, you're going to get sandwiched.  The best way to avoid that is to try and dash punch back and forth across the room.  There's no guarantee that you will stay safe doing this, but it's better than standing still and getting beat up.  You may be lost at this point, but if you take the correct door, you can actually place yourself one door away from the boss.
* Left door: '''M'''
* Center door: '''H'''
* Right door: '''D'''
| [[Image:Renegade_NES_Stage4_O.png|thumb|right|Part O]]
'''O''': If you've made it this far, congratulations.  You're a long way off from the correct path, but it's impressive none the less.  This room has two stage 2 bosses waiting for you with a third in the wings just waiting to show up.  Use the same strategy that you used in the previous room to survive the attack.  You can go deeper in this stage… but you won't want to.
* Left door: '''P'''
* Right door: '''C'''
|-
| [[Image:Renegade_NES_Stage4_P.png|thumb|left|Part P]]
'''P''': You've made it to the farthest room in the building.  You haven't found the boss at all, but what you have found is probably the most difficult screen in the entire first level of difficulty.  Not only must you fight both of these stage 3 bosses, but there is a third one waiting in the wings.  Even if you survive this and open the doors, they will all send you back to some earlier portion of the building.  Definitely not worth the trip, unless you really want the practice.
* Left door: '''L'''
* Right door: '''H'''
