Double Dragon (NES)

Join Billy and Jimmy Lee on their his journey to rescue Marian from Machine Gun Willy his brother Jimmy. Sheesh.

Staff Roll


Unused graphics for a very nice-looking credits sequence. In the final, the scene of Billy and Marian reunited is simply followed by a cut back to the title screen.

The final game actually has some leftover code that swaps in these graphics...but unfortunately, it also follows an invalid JSR and ends up crashing, which likely means it was abandoned some time before the rest of the game was complete.

The credits themselves can be found at ROM address :

PRESENTED BY

Dragon Head


Found near graphics of the falling stalactite and Mission 4 wall-trap, this is the dragon-head statue from the final area with cracks in it.

Abobo


Abobo was supposed to have a throwing move similar to the one he uses in the coin-op version. In the promotional brochure for the Famicom version, this move is listed as the genbaku nage (原爆投げ) or the "atomic throw." The English language manual makes a mistranslated reference to this technique by mentioning that Abobo "likes to throw bombs." This move was later given to Abobo's replacement Bolo in Double Dragon II.

Chin


With the exception of Abobo and Willy, all the enemy characters have ladder-climbing animations, but Chin is the only one who never uses his. When the player confronts Chin at the top of the construction site at the end of Mission 2, the player can climb back down to the lower floor and Chin will remain still.

Intermission
Like in the arcade version, the intermission theme before each stage is cut off around the 10 seconds mark, so it never gets to be played fully.

Title screen
The U.S. title screen removes the bottom portion of the flames in order to make room for the Tradewest logo (the game's U.S. publisher), along with additional copyrights text.
