Description
Streets of Rage 2 Sandbox Feb. 3rd 2026 BillyTime! Games
This patch is designed to introduce new ways to play Streets of Rage 2 with new modifiers that can be mixed and matched.
How it works:
In the options menu, the sound test has been replaced with three mod options. You can pick three which will in turn customize your game.
List of Modifiers
01 - No Continues (Incompatible with Infinite Continues) 02 - Start with No Health 03 - Walk Faster 04 - Difficulty Randomizer 05 - Free Specials (Health Regen for Syndicate Wars) 06 - All attacks deal massive damage 07 - XP System (Incompatible with CPU Partner in Syndicate Wars) 08 - No Health/Lives Pickups 09 - Infinite Continues (Incompatible with No Continues) 0A - Infinite Time
Difficulty Randomizer:
As you play, the internal difficulty counter is randomized and will introduce enemies from Very Easy all the way to Mania difficulties with various speeds, health bars and aggression. No playthrough will ever be identical!
Note: End of round bonuses will be randomized
XP System:
Players gain a level every 100,000 points. With each level players deal one more point of damage and take one less point of damage. Players reach max level at 900,000 points.
Further patch notes: *Players can select the same character *Extra options and difficulties have been unlocked *Hi-Score SRAM has been included
Hi-Score SRAM: (Vanilla and MD Patch Only)
Saving: Scores save after Initials are entered.

Excellent hack for any Streets of Rage 2 fan! The modifier list allows for a unique experience for each player (I personally love the faster walking option).
As a suggestion, would it be possible to add the modifier list to the game's startup screen, for example, so the codes are available right there in the game?
Congratulations on all your hard work!
