The Fan Remake is just that: a fan-made remake with no approval from Sega (in fact, their explicit disapproval). So while it should definitely be covered, tropes from the fan-remake should not be mixed freely with ones from the original games. Movinig it to its own section of the article (it probably should have its own page though)

* BloodierAndGorier: The final version of the remake, featuring copious amounts of blood when guns or a bladed weapon are used, graphic bisections when a foe is finished with a sword, blown up, or run down, and [[spoiler:one boss brutally murdering someone mostly offscreen before he turns his attention towards the player(s).]]
* BossRemix: The boss theme in the first game ("Attack of The Barbarian") is remixed for Mr X ("Return of Mr X"). The remake also adds another one ("Never Return Alive"). Rudra's boss theme is also the remixed version of Yamato's theme.
* BossRush: Stage 8 of ''1'' and ''2''. Also, an unlockable gameplay mode in the remake.
* BottomlessMagazines: Played straight for TheMenInBlack, Mr. X and the Remake gun-wielding enemies, while you get stuck with ThrowAwayGuns.
** Unless, of course, you turn on the "Weapons Never Disappear" cheat, in which case your ammo likewise never disappears. [[GameBreaker For full effect,]] turn on both that cheat and the "Keep Weapons Between Stages" one, and pick up a machine gun. Sure, your end payout will suffer, but you '''finally''' get the chance to [[BeatThemAtTheirOwnGame beat Mr. X at his own game!]]
* BottomlessPits: Appearing in the first game for levels 4 (holes in the bridge) and 7 (getting thrown off a moving freight elevator). Falling into one would cost you a life. Oddly, the bottomless pits never appeared in game ''2'', but return in game ''3'' for the construction levels where falling into one had your character jump back up at the expense of losing at least 1/4 of your health bar. The remake has both varieties of these pits in their respective levels.

* MsFanservice: Blaze. Aside from [[ShesGotLegs a thigh-length skirt]], she was actually pretty moderately dressed in the first game. [[FanservicePack Starting in]] ''2'', however, she lost her jacket and donned [[BareYourMidriff nothing more than]] [[{{Stripperiffic}} a bra and a slightly shorter skirt]] (complete with {{Panty Shot}}s; the sprites were edited from ''Bare Knuckle 2'' to some versions of ''Streets of Rage 2'' to prevent this). There's also one canon and several fan-made artwork of her being [[FootFocus barefoot]] (the canon one is in the "good path" ending in ''[=SOR3=]'').
** In the remake, Rudra could well rival Blaze. She wears a vest that emphasizes [[BareYourMidriff her stomach]], she's got AbsoluteCleavage [[spoiler:especially in her unique ending]], she wears fishnet stockings that help to emphasize that ShesGotLegs, her skirt's short enough that you can get ''very brief'' {{Panty Shot}}s if she kicks high, and the lower half of her outfit gives a subtle outline of her butt [[spoiler:if she BECOMES THE BOSS]].

Deleted line(s) 234,235 (click to see context) :

** As of Version 5, ''Streets of Rage Remake'' features a maximum of ''eight'', depending on which route you took and what final level you played. Three of them are lifted from the first two games ([[spoiler:thus, it's possible to BECOME THE BOSS once again]]). Variants on the ''Streets of Rage 3'' route involves trying to stop bombs from blowing up the city and the building you're in, with Shiva as the final boss. [[spoiler:Regardless of whether or not you stop the bomb and defeat Shiva, Mr. X escapes.]] And one ending requires [[spoiler:a no-cheats completion on Mania mode]].
*** One hidden character has an ending made completely for them. [[spoiler:Rudra's ending is accessed by beating Mr. X on the final level of the ''Streets of Rage'' route or ''Streets of Rage 2'' route by herself on at least the hard difficulty setting. Remember her post boss fight dialogue where she says she's not your enemy? Her reason for fighting shows in her ending, which shows her freeing her little sister that was captured by the syndicate. The post credits scene shows the little girl trying to follow in Rudra's footsteps in being a fighter and struggles to lift a sword.]]

** The remake adds many of its own. Not only do other Sega games get references, homages and cameos, but other beat 'em ups and fighting games as well.
** In the final fight of the first game, co-op play allows the two players to fight each other to death by choosing different answers from each other's, which is a reference to the duel between the Lee brothers after defeating Machine Gun Willy in ''VideoGame/DoubleDragon''.
* ShownTheirWork: The entire remake is this trope. Not only did the developers include levels that were DummiedOut from [=SOR3=] and a few levels exclusive to the Master System/Game Gear versions of the series, they also included sprites of Axel, Blaze, and Skate from all their perspective games and choosing a different sprite also changes their fighting style to how they fought in those games. The game options have also lots of details, such as determining what Streets of Rage game you want the combo system to reflect, what game you want your movement and jumping to be based on, how you want your hit boxes and having the ability to play as [=SOR2=] Blaze with her up kick showing off her panties, which had been censored in the North American version. Attention to detail was heavily used in the remake while still retaining the feel of the series.

!!Tropes exhibited specifically in the fan remake include:

* ArtificialStupidity: Invoked with the "Stupid" setting for the friendly AI.
* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: Mr. X becomes this in version 5.0, due to the fact he is WAY more challenging than his original incarnations.
* BatterUp: Adam can use special moves with baseball bats.
* TheBattleDidntCount: Happens when you fight Rudra as a boss. [[ThatOneBoss After all you've had to do to defeat her]], the following cutscene has her using some kind of jutsu ([[NewPowersAsThePlotDemands which she never used during the fight]]) to freeze the heroes on the spot. [[spoiler:She then says she's not their enemy, frees them and flees]].
* BecomingTheMask: [[spoiler:Rudra]] in one of the endings.
* BloodierAndGorier: The final version features copious amounts of blood when guns or a bladed weapon are used, graphic bisections when a foe is finished with a sword, blown up, or run down, and [[spoiler:one boss brutally murdering someone mostly offscreen before he turns his attention towards the player(s).]]
* BossRemix: Has two: ("Never Return Alive"), and Rudra's boss theme (a remixed version of Yamato's theme).
* BossRush: An unlockable gameplay mode.
* BottomlessMagazines: The gun-wielding enemies never run out of ammunition, while you get stuck with ThrowAwayGuns.
* CarFu: The ''Streets Of Rage 2'' route begins with the cop car mowing down three Galsias. Can also be used in-game when you call the for the police backup as enemies outside of the screen to the left also stand a chance of getting run down by the cop car.
* {{Cyborg}}:[[spoiler:Elle, an unlockable character fitted with prosthetic whip-hands]].
* CrosshairAware: In the first level of the ''Streets Of Rage 2'' route, one segment now has you try to avoid a sniper enemy's crosshair before he can shoot you (though you ''can'' lure him into shooting mooks). Thankfully (?), he [[UniqueEnemy only appears once]].
* DoppelgangerAttack: Rudra.
* DownerEnding: One of the endings that involves you failing to escape Mr. X's hideout before it explodes. The explosion levels several buildings within a several block radius and many lives are lost while the real Mr. X is free to roam and cause more chaos. You also get to see your fellow police officer giving a solemn salute to the fallen heroes as they are laid to rest.
* DualBoss: Some paths have you fight two Bongos. There is also an unlockable cheat to [[SelfImposedChallenge always spawn dual bosses]].
* ExcusePlot: [[IntendedAudienceReaction Done intentionally]].
* ExplodingBarrels
** FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler:If you accept Mr. X's offer to join him. This can lead to [[MindScrew funky]] situations when you, for instance, unlock Mr. X and defeat Mr. X as Mr. X to BECOME THE BOSS.]]
* FailureIsTheOnlyOption: No good comes from the route that ends with Robo X. If you [[LuckBasedMission somehow]] get out of the building alive and stop the explosives, you escape the [[ItsAWonderfulFailure bad endings]] but get an neutral AWinnerIsYou ending because the real Mr. X got away.
* FanRemake: A particularly ambitious one that runs under Windows, combines levels and enemies from all three games and adds its own, sports remastered graphics plus new ones in the same style, a completely remixed soundtrack, adds gun weaponry, has ''nineteen playable characters'' with a powered-up [[SuperMode Super Shiva]] among them, and lots of unlockables, including a level editor. An earlier version had a Super version fo Shiva who was removed in the final version.
* FanworkBan: Sega didn't take kindly to it and threatened to sue the developers if they didn't remove it from their site.
* GainaxEnding: The game's ending if beaten in Mania mode.
* GameBreakingBug: You can call on the police for help. One of their attacks is a rocket launcher which creates a circle of fire. If the rocket lands in a BottomlessPit, the game stalls - nothing can move until the animation finishes, and due to a programming oversight, the game never counts the animation as finished if it can't start. You can't even pause the game - the only way out is to close the program.
* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:Shiva, Elle, Ash]] and, against all logic, [[spoiler:Mr. X himself]] will beat down the mooks and enforcers of the organization they used to work for [[spoiler: or in fact ''ran'' in the last one's case]] when you unlock them. [[spoiler:Rudra]] doesn't count, as explained in that character's unique ending, and considering [[spoiler: Victy/Roo]] has full police force when playing as the character, it's implied that this particular fighter [[BattleThralls was never villainous to begin with]].
* LonelyAtTheTop: [[spoiler:Shiva]] seems to think so in [[spoiler:Ending 1]]. Unlike everyone else, he sits looking bored the entire time, and doesn't [[spoiler:laugh evilly]] or move at all after the credits roll.
* LuckBasedMission: Stage 8 if you beat Robo X. You're on a TimedMission, 3 minutes to be exact, to either disarm the bomb or ignore it and beat Shiva quickly as possible before the timer expires. The catch? The rooms that contain the keycard to reach the bottom floor and the control console to stop the bomb are randomized in each play through, so it's possible you can wind up finding nothing but trap rooms and get the bad ending for dying in the explosion due to time wasted in getting lost and having to fight mooks every time you leave a room.
* MsFanservice: Rudra could well rival Blaze. She wears a vest that emphasizes [[BareYourMidriff her stomach]], she's got AbsoluteCleavage [[spoiler:especially in her unique ending]], she wears fishnet stockings that help to emphasize that ShesGotLegs, her skirt's short enough that you can get ''very brief'' {{Panty Shot}}s if she kicks high, and the lower half of her outfit gives a subtle outline of her butt [[spoiler:if she BECOMES THE BOSS]].
* MultipleEndings: As of Version 5, ''Streets of Rage Remake'' features a maximum of ''eight'', depending on which route you took and what final level you played. Three of them are lifted from the first two games ([[spoiler:thus, it's possible to BECOME THE BOSS once again]]). Variants on the ''Streets of Rage 3'' route involves trying to stop bombs from blowing up the city and the building you're in, with Shiva as the final boss. [[spoiler:Regardless of whether or not you stop the bomb and defeat Shiva, Mr. X escapes.]] And one ending requires [[spoiler:a no-cheats completion on Mania mode]]. One hidden character also has an ending made completely for them. [[spoiler:Rudra's ending is accessed by beating Mr. X on the final level of the ''Streets of Rage'' route or ''Streets of Rage 2'' route by herself on at least the hard difficulty setting. Remember her post boss fight dialogue where she says she's not your enemy? Her reason for fighting shows in her ending, which shows her freeing her little sister that was captured by the syndicate. The post credits scene shows the little girl trying to follow in Rudra's footsteps in being a fighter and struggles to lift a sword.]]
* NoFairCheating: Using cheats lowers your money points at the end. If you steal from the shop, you're forced to pay for it later.
* NonLethalKO: The remake uses this on the boss characters (except the robot types, which explode upon defeat). While standard mooks are implied to be killed by the player (especially when you can [[CaptainObvious cut them in half with a sword, throw a grenade at them, or toss them into a pit or off a moving lift]]), boss characters are shown in a cutscene to be either out cold or dazed, bloodied, and bruised, no matter what was used to defeat them in the fight previously.
* OneHitPointWonder: The Seeker robots are so fragile that one punch can instantly destroy them. However, they explode upon defeat, so watch out! Luckily, the Seekers can do nothing but jump around.
* PaletteSwap: After you've beaten the game at least once, you can choose the color of your player character's outfit at the select screen.
* PyrrhicVictory: If you fight Mr. X's robot duplicate and successfully disabled the bombs, the city is safe, but the real Mr. X is still out there. Likewise, if you escaped without disabling the bombs, Mr. X is still alive and most of the city is destroyed from the explosion.
* SecretAIMoves: Averted. The developers put a lot of work in improving [[spoiler:Mr. X's GunFu]] and working in additional animations (none of which are displayed during his boss fight) to make him as playable as the initially available characters, all while avoiding making him too [[GameBreaker game-breaking]]. Granted, he can be more powerful than other characters of the cast, but not by much, which keeps playing as him interesting.
* [[ShopliftAndDie Shoplift and Pay]]: There's a shop (staffed by Blaze, of all people) that unlocks after you beat the game, enabling you to buy secret characters, cheats, and extras. Should you access the shop while your computer's clock is between 5 and 7 AM, Blaze will be asleep, and you can attempt to steal an item. The chance of successfully stealing an item is 50/50, and the computer decides this at random. If you fail, Blaze wakes up, screams "THIEF!" in your face, and you get banned from the shop until you beat the game again. If you succeed, however, you can get any one item - even the super-expensive ones like the [=SOREditor=] and the infinite lives cheat - for free... and you still end up locked out of the shop. And this time you have to pay Blaze back for the item you stole by beating the game. Did you steal the [=SORmaker=]? Have fun playing through the game 10+ times!
* ShoutOut: Several. Not only do other Sega games get references, homages and cameos, but other beat 'em ups and fighting games as well.
* ShownTheirWork: The developers put a lot of effort into recreating elements from the series. Not only did the developers include levels that were DummiedOut from [=SOR3=] and a few levels exclusive to the Master System/Game Gear versions of the series, they also included sprites of Axel, Blaze, and Skate from all their perspective games and choosing a different sprite also changes their fighting style to how they fought in those games. The game options have also lots of details, such as determining what Streets of Rage game you want the combo system to reflect, what game you want your movement and jumping to be based on, how you want your hit boxes and having the ability to play as [=SOR2=] Blaze with her up kick showing off her panties, which had been censored in the North American version. Attention to detail was heavily used in the remake while still retaining the feel of the series.
* SmartBomb: The remake gives one of these to all but three of its 19 playable characters, though some are special fighting techniques that don't actually involve summoning the police. The three that don't get one are [[spoiler:Mr. X, who taunts you for trying to call the police (he ''is'' a crime lord, after all) and both the ''[=SoR2=]'' and ''[=SoR3=]'' versions of Shiva, for whom the "police call" button simply does nothing.]]
* StopHelpingMe: In the remake, playing with an AI partner will invoke this, especially if their setting is set on aggressive. If you have an enemy in your grasp and you start to combo them, your partner may decide to wander into the fray and and try to help out by attacking your target, which will usually break your hold on the enemy and wind up doing less damage than you had intended. If friendly fire is turned on, this will just get worse.
* ThirdPersonSeductress: Blaze is the one manning the shop where you buy various items. While you're browsing around the shop, she's standing there to the side, dressed in her red bra and ''nothing else'' covering her top half, and there's a slight shot of her skirt and stockings below (both mostly covered by the graphic showing your in-game cash), and all the while she's looking right at you with a smile on her face, except for a few moments when she looks to the side while you're selecting certain options. [[http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3e5IoGO2N7I/Tvuu1_2a92I/AAAAAAAACYM/uMy2fxtje0M/s640/SoR%2BShop.png Have a look.]]
* ThrowAwayGuns: The heroes can pick up guns (imported from the Capcom's ''[[XenozoicTales Cadillacs and Dinosaurs']]' arcade BeatEmUp) which the heroes throw them in the Mooks faces when out of ammo.
* TimedMission: Version 5 included a final TimedMission in one route. [[spoiler:After defeating Robo X, [[CollapsingLair escape the building in 3 minutes (timer varying depending on difficulty) or explode with it.]]]] If you [[spoiler:find the keycard, you battle Shiva as your final obstacle to freedom. The ending you get however depends on whether or not you disarmed the bomb before getting to him or not.]]
* ToTheBatNoun: The cutscenes don't do much to explain progression between levels besides "There's a door here." or "Our helicopter/bike/yacht will arrive to our destination soon." [[ExcusePlot They do even less for the story anyway.]]
* UniqueEnemy: Several, including a Jason variant of Jack, a trucker, a sniper, and a few more.
* VictoryPose: Everyone performs a victory pose at the successful conclusion of whatever mode you're playing.
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: Mr. X.
* WastedSong: Version 4 had a remix of [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UfZ_SWzB4A "Spin on the Bridge"]] used in the dance club stage in place of a mix of the original song, which proved popular. When Version 5 came out and they went with a remix of "Dance Club" instead for that same stage, they kept the "Spin on the Bridge" remix... as a song that plays in the twenty second cutscene following the bosses' defeat.
* YellowBrickRoad: A variation. Version 5 has you begin on one of four starting points, but all routes lead to Mr. X's headquarters... [[MultipleEndings though not to the exact same ending]].
