==Enemies== ===Regular enemies=== As in a typical beat' em up game, there are nasty enemies to oppose the players, described below. *'''Bikers''' ('''Gneiss''', '''Ferris''' and '''Driver''') - the most basic enemies of the game, they are usually dim-witted, attacking mostly with punches, kicks and rarely with a flying kick. They also often drop several firearms when defeated. '''Gneiss''' enemies can appear on their "powered-up" motorcycles trying to run over the player. '''Gneiss''' wear blue with grey (complete with riding goggles), '''Ferris''' wear orange with grey, '''Driver''' wear black with green (having more life than his fellow friends).<br />''Alternative names in Japanese version:'' '''Risk''' for '''Gneiss''', '''Astro''' for '''Ferris''' and '''D.D.''' for '''Driver'''. *'''Midgets''' ('''Punk''' and '''Thug''') - very annoying small enemies. They are somewhat harder to deal with (and thus can be a real pain for most players) due to their smaller stature and bigger aggressiveness. They jump a lot and attack with fast punches and kicks, shoulder butts, jump kicks and even throwing grenades (for '''Punk''') and TNT bundles (for '''Thug''') - which they can drop when killed. '''Punk''' wears blue pants while '''Thug''' wears pumpkin pants.<br />''Alternative names in Japanese version:'' '''Nitro''' for '''Punk''' and '''Turbo''' for '''Thug'''. *'''Knife Men''' ('''Blade''' and '''Razor''') - cruel guys skilled with butchery knives. They can attack both disarmed (with simple punches) and with their trademark knives - which they can use to stab or swipe, execute a jumping downward stab attack, throw them (the player can hit incoming knives to deflect them, thus allowing their use) and use a running swipe attack (which has good priority and shall not be confronted). These guys constantly drop their knives when killed. '''Blade''' wears yellow with navy blue and blonde hair, '''Razor''' wears lime green with graffiti and tanned skin.<br />''Alternative names in Japanese version:'' none. *'''Fat Guys''' ('''Black Elmer''', '''Hammer Terhune''' and '''Wrench Terhune''' (commonly '''Blk Elmer''', '''Hammer T.''' and '''Wrench T.''')) - powerful obese enemies that can deal good damage if the player is not careful. These former American football players attack with basic punches and kicks, with addition of running shoulder charges and a painful jumping hip smash. In some occasions they will also disturb sleeping '''Shivats''' in order to wake them into rampage. They usually bring food in their pockets and smoke cigars when idle. '''Blk Elmer''' wears purple with blue clothing, '''Hammer T.''' wears gold with red clothing and '''Wrench T.''' wears white with green clothing.<br />''Alternative names in Japanese version:'' '''James''' for '''Blk Elmer'''. *'''Hunters''' ('''Poacher Joe''' (commonly '''Poacher J.'''), '''Gutter''' and '''Skinner''') - the Black Marketeer's most favored gunmen, they are responsible for killing and selling dinosaur leather and bones for luxurious collectors at extorsive prices. These guys wear torn-down sweatshirts, near-discolored pants, climbing boots and hunting rifles (though they rarely fire them, and even more rare they drop their rifles when defeated). Their attacks include combos of rifle smacks with kicks, a rolling rifle smash, a hopping kick and the rare rifle shot. '''Gutter''' sports yellow sweatshirt, '''Poacher J''' has spinach-green and '''Skinner''' wears papaya-red.<br />''Alternative names in Japanese version:'' '''Saturn''' for '''Gutter''' and '''Cobra''' for '''Skinner'''. *'''Lash Terhune''' (commonly '''Lash T.''') - tall built guys with leather clothing and a huge steel mace attached to a long rope. '''Lash T.''' has basic attacks with knee and his mace, plus a long-range mace fling that deals good damage against any careless victim, friend or foe. He also chews bubblegum after flinging his mace.<br />''Alternative names in Japanese version:'' none. *'''Walther''' - a minor variant of '''Vice Terhune''' (Stage 1 Boss), these guys lead the Black Marketeer's poachers in their incursions for killing dinosaurs. He makes his debut in Stage 3 and appears frequently through the game. This enemy has the same actions and skills of the default first boss, but is incredibly harder to fight. Sometimes, '''Walther''' drops his handgun when defeated.<br />''Alternative names in Japanese version:'' '''Colt'''. *'''Bludge''' - this [[Blanka]]-looking creature is a human-reptile hybrid created by Dr. Simon Fessenden himself. Being a reptilian, this foe is a formidable combination of strength and agility, possessing other characteristics such as long jumping kick, diving claw slash and acid spits. He can also grab the player with his tongue and slowly drain his/her health unless the player breaks free. '''Bludge''' can also eat objects laying on the ground to prevent their further use in battle (however, if he is killed quickly, the object can be recovered from his stomach before digestion).<br />''Alternative names in Japanese version:'' '''Phantom'''. *'''Tyrog 2''' - just like '''Walther''', this being is a lesser variant of '''Tyrog''' (Stage 6 Boss), and is fought only once (in the first scene of Stage 8). This hideous creature combines every action from all of '''Tyrog''''s 3 phases. Being a minor-level enemy, '''Tyrog 2''' is easier to kill.<br />''Alternative names in Japanese version:'' none. ===Dinosaurs=== Dinosaurs can be neutral or enemies in the game. When neutral they are in green color; when enraged or attacking they turn into red color; when "defeated" they return to green color and stop attacking, thus moving off screen. Having no allegiances, dinosaurs will attack anyone in their vicinity, player or enemy. *'''Rock Hopper''' (commonly '''R. Hopper''') - a kind of velociraptor. He is usually friendly until being attacked, and his claws and teeth are viciously powerful. *'''Mack''' - a triceratops whose only attack is a painful charging headbutt. It's best to beat him when he stops charging. *'''Zeke''' - a pteranodon which only uses airborne attacks fitting to his winged nature. He can be somewhat hard to hit. But, an easy way to spot it is by standing on his shadow, right below him, and strike right as it goes close to the ground. *'''Shivat''' - a Tyrannosaurus-Rex, this 12-feet behemoth is commonly found sleeping but will wake up in a rampage if disturbed by fat guys hitting him. '''Shivat''' has tremendously powerful biting attacks and causes minor ground shakes when walking. It is by far the hardest dinosaur to be calmed down, so players are advised not to let a '''Shivat''' being awakened. ===Stage bosses=== As is customary with beat' em up games, there is a boss at the end of every level. ''Cadillacs and Dinosaurs'' has 8 levels and of course 8 different bosses. *'''The Butcher''' ('''Atomic''' in Japanese version) - the boss of ''Swamp Forest'' (Level 2) *'''Hogg''' ('''Gaspar''' in Japanese version) - the boss of ''Hell Road'' (Level 3) *'''Slice''' - the boss of ''Jack's Garage'' (Level 4) *'''Morgan / Morgue''' - the boss of ''Village Of Flame'' (Level 5) *'''Tyrog''' - the boss of ''Jungle and Mine'' (Level 6) *'''Slisaurs''' - the bosses of ''The Vault'' (Level 7), they are "reptilian clones" of Slice (Level 4 Boss) *'''Dr. Simon Fessenden''' - the boss of ''Deep Deep Down'' (Level 8)
