Battletoads & Double Dragon

The game presents the characters from the famous beat'em up series Double Dragon, Billy and Jimmy - two young men with strong punches and kicks. Also included are three humanoid frogs from the Battletoads game. The characters, including enemies, are mostly from the Battletoads game.

In the beginning of the game, the player must choose between the five hero-characters: Billy, Jimmy (humans), Zits, Pimp or Rash (frogs). Then, the chosen character must walk through different scenarios, kicking and punching each enemy which comes onscreen. Like many such games, a "boss" is included at the end of each stage, which challenges the player to a higher level of the game.

The Sega and Super Nintendo versions of the game are quite similar, being the only difference the quality of graphics and sound - both are considered better in the Super Nintendo version.

With two players, the continues are overlapping. If one player loses all of his lives, then both players have to continue at the beginning of the level. This is the opposite of games like Contra, where a strong player can tow a weak player along to advanced levels. In Battletoads & Double Dragon, a weak player will hold a strong player back.
