Streets of Rage 2, known as Bare Knuckle II: Shitou heno Chingonka in Japan, is a side-scrolling beat-'em-up for the Sega Mega Drive, released in 1993 as a sequel to Streets of Rage. It received 8-bit ports for the Sega Master System and Sega Game Gear, as well as being included on numerous compilations of Mega Drive games. More recently, it was made available on the Virtual Console and Xbox Live Arcade download services.

The game's storyline is set one year after the events of its prequel Streets of Rage. That game's protagonists Adam Hunter, Axel Stone, and Blaze Fielding go to a nightspot and reminisce over their defeat of Mr. X. The following day Axel gets a call from Eddie "Skate" Hunter, Adam's younger brother, telling him that he returned to the brothers' house to find it in shambles, with a picture of Adam chained to a wall next to Mr. X left behind. Axel, Blaze, Skate and their friend Max embark on a mission to rescue their friend and hopefully break up Mr. X's criminal gang once again.
