Streets Of Rage 4 Retro Stages Guide: How To Find Them All

Streets of Rage 4 is a fantastic throwback to the classic era of side-scrolling brawlers. While this revisit to one of the Sega Genesis’ most iconic franchises introduces a brand new look and revamped gameplay, its roots are firmly planted in the retro-era, making it a faithful sequel. SOR4 also includes some hidden easter eggs that take the references to the classic games. These include the original soundtracks and the entire cast of unlockable characters from the first three games, but there’s also another set of secrets that take the retro element even further.

Throughout the game, you’ll come across arcade cabinets for Bare Knuckle–the international title for the Streets of Rage series. While you may feel inclined to bash open these cabinets to receive some precious cash to score extra points, these are the gateway to hidden challenge stages that take you back to familiar locales from Streets of Rage 2. To access these stages, you’ll need to pick up a taser weapon and strike the arcade cabinet, taking you to a special battle that you’ll need to clear with only one life. For many reasons, however, this can be tough to pull off, so we’ve broken down how to find each cabinet and what sort of challenge you’ll face in each retro fight.

Stage 2: Police Precinct

Shortly after breaking out of jail, you’ll encounter a police officer wearing a black outfit named Barney. While you’ve beat down other cops, this one is the strongest. He’ll quickly use a grab to zap you with his taser, so keep your distance and strike him when he’s vulnerable to get him to drop it. Leave the taser on the ground and clear out the extra enemies before proceeding forward.

Animal Crossing May Day Maze Guide: How To Do The May Day Tour

It’s time for another seasonal event in Animal Crossing: New Horizons! This time it’s May Day, which runs from May 1 through 7. Unlike Bunny Day, May Day doesn’t actually last the whole week–you instead have the week to go on a one-time May Day Tour at your leisure. This tour will take you to a special island unlike the regular Mystery Tour islands you normally go to.

How To Get Your May Day Ticket

To kick off May Day, talk to Tom Nook at Resident Services. He’ll tell you he appreciates your hard work and would like to reward you with a May Day Ticket, which will be ready at the airport counter for you. You have to use the May Day Ticket before the end of the day on May 7, and you can only use it once. The May Day Tour takes around 15 minutes to complete, so make sure you have enough time.

When you’re ready to do the May Day Tour, head to the airport, talk to Orville, and select “I wanna fly!” and then “Use May Day Ticket.” Don’t worry about what’s in your pockets–everything you’re carrying will be held for you at the airport, so you don’t need to empty your inventory before leaving like you might do before going on a Mystery Tour.

How To Catch A Scorpion In Animal Crossing: New Horizons

Scorpions and tarantulas are pretty identical in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. If you have a Northern Hemisphere island, you’ll notice that the arrival of new May fish and bugs also marks the departure of tarantulas, which have been replaced with scorpions until October. How you catch scorpions is pretty similar to its eight-legged counterpart. We’ll break it down below.

When Do Scorpions Spawn?

Scorpions spawn on the ground between 7 PM and 4 AM. They will not spawn if you have guests on your island. They can appear on your own island or a deserted island. Like most creatures in New Horizons, scorpions are seasonal, so they will only appear a few months out of the year. Here’s when scorpions spawn, depending on what kind of island you have:
