Double Dragon/Walkthrough

We start off the adventure with Marion getting hammered in the gut, then carried off by one OF Willy s henchmen. (also) standing in the back with a couple of his thugs you ll end up fighting later any way. (keep a look out for the man in green in particular) as they are about to exit screen right a garage door opens up (and depending on how many players) Billy Lee and possibly his brother Jimmy come out of said garage and begin their quest to get Marion back. Immedetly you ll be attacked by a couple shirt and vest wearing goons (some with coloured skin at that) best way to deal with them is dont get surrounded, then take them out one at a time. having a partner will greatly improve your odds. after a thrashing of the goons the screen will prompt you to move right with a thumb. next part you ll encounter 3 new things; 1st is the ladders you can climb, and 2nd will be your first female antagonist, and 3rd will be the first weapon of the game (being carried by the female) a Whip. note that when you fight her you cannot grab her by the hair and do the knee and throw move. next up you ll fight your first mini-boss in the form of a giant named Adbobo.Also the baseball bat makes its first apearance. knowing your moves helps a lot, He can be taken down best(as with all bosses) with the back elbow repeatly or the jumping back kick but it has a smaller range. moving into the next area you ll find your 1st throwable weapon; the Metal Barrel, keep in mind you can also kick it to make it roll over your next set of opponents,one of which has the second throwable weapon; the knife (when thrown at you it can be blocked with a well timed kick) after a couple more goons the first real boss shows up in the form of a Mr.T knock off, but if you mastered the back elbow you ll do just fine. then after soundly beating the boss you ll be scored a couple 1000 points and be force to move into the next area or stage...

Stage 2 (the factory)
moving forward you ll find the third throwable weapon the box. going forward a bit you ll find the first pit of the game, and a way to get easy kills (keep in mind you can fall in too). while on said pit a thug will be carrying the only exploding weapon of the game; Dynamite. dont get caught in the small explosion or its instant death. after dealing with a few more goons you ll have to jump up some steel gurters, deal with a couple more thugs and then jump up to an area with an elevator and conveyer belt. you may want to keep the box from earlier but its not needed. differnt enemies will come out of the elevator but it only opens 3 times. throwing the enemies on the conveyer will help. after the 3rd time the elevator opens another elevator will begin to rise and the 2nd boss of the game will show up; and its the man in green. Watch out he has the same moves you do, if youre really good you can throw him either on the conveyer or over the side of the elevator he came up on. Beating the man in green you ll get a few more 1000 points, then stand on the elevator as it decends into the next area...

Stage 3 (the woods)
Walking off the elevator you ll come to a gravel road next to the factory. A couple thugs come into the screen, by now you should have no problem taking them out. But keep in mind as you progress from this point on the enemies become tougher and longer to take down. next you ll come to an elevator and another woman will come out, no push over anymore, but she ll still be beaten easily. moving down the road to the next area will see trees and stumps. On these stumps are goons with knives a pleanty, also there will be small holes similar to the pit you found in stage 2. Throwing enemies in them provide easy kills. after a few knifers you ll come to the broken bridge, (once again falling in the water is instant death) jumping over the gap you ll run into Adbobo again. He can be easily beaten by knocking him into the water. After the bridge another small pit and more knifers are waiting for you, same stratagey from earlier applies. Moving forward the forest ends and the rocky area begins. Where you ll find the last throwable weapon; The Boulder. After a few thugs go slowly as 2, (count them 2!!) Adbobos punch out the wall and attack you. Going slow as i mentioned you ll only have to fight them one at a time. After you do beat them both a quick interlude will tell you youve made to the enemies base, standing on the edge of a cliff with a metal bridge below. Jump down and then the man in green with dark skin will be waiting, to easily beat him you can knock him off the right side of the bridge. Also on the right end of the bridge you come to an impass, dont worry you now have to climb the rock wall to reach a new area. At the top another man in green is waitng next to a boulder. beat him easy by knocking him off the left side of the cliff if possible. Walking forward you finally come to the base entrance, but dont celibrate just yet a green Adbobo comes out as well as a couple men in green. The battle is a bit tough by yourself but with a partner is much easier. Beating the big green monster you get rewarded with a few more 1000 points and walk into the enemies base...

Stage 4 (the base)
If you thought getting this far was hard get ready for a rude awakening. You ll now be in a area that forces you to walk along a small corridor with spike pits at the bottom of the screen (dont fall in). 2 stone walls are next that are booby trapped, try to walk passed and randomly the long bricks shoot out and knock you flying back a few feet. Make it passed the 2 walls you ll see statues with spears, walk near them and they ll stick you and sending flying back too (jumping helps a lot here).Next up are 2 thugs pretending to be statues, walk pass the 1st one and he ll attack you. He will have a stick of dynamite, knock him towards the brick walls and theyll do the rest. If you grabbed the dynamite you can use it on the 2nd thug before he comes out too. Same rules apply. Move forward and the floor becomes wider but still has spike pits. go slow as another 2 Adbobos pound down the walls and attack you again. but your friend the back elbow makes short work of them as usual. Keep walking ahead and you finally come to final area with the red carpet. On the left wall you ll see Marion tied up hanging from the wall, on the right side is Willy (the big boss) waiting on a balcony. This is it, the battle youve been waiting for. But the big boss (with the machine gun) isnt ready for you quite yet. every enemy you fought from earlier (except bosses) comes to try and fight you. every once and awhile a man in yellow will come out of the door at the top of the area. beating 10 or so thugs Willy will come down from his balcony and fight you himself. not a tough fight but getting shot is once again instant death, he also has a back kick as well as smacking you with his big gun. After a about a dozen elbows or so you finally ended Willy s reign. But depending on how many players made it it may not be over yet. with a second player there you 2 square off in a final battle to see who gets the girl, whomever the victor gets the spoils. the ending is the same no matter who wins; Marion comes off the wall and embraces whoever saved her...
