Battletoads & Double Dragon - wikipedia Battletoads & Double Dragon <Th_colspan="2"> Battletoads / Double Dragon <Td_colspan="2"> Front cover of the NES version Developer ( s ) Rare Publisher ( s ) NA : Tradewest EU : Nintendo ( NES ) WW : Sony Imagesoft ( SNES , GB ) Artist ( s ) Steve Mayles Composer ( s ) David Wise Series Battletoads Double Dragon Platform ( s ) NES , Mega Drive / Genesis , Super NES , Game Boy Release NES NA : June 1993 EU : 1993 Mega Drive / Genesis NA : December 1993 SNES NA : December 1 , 1993 EU : July 10 , 1994 Game Boy NA : December 1993 EU : 1994 Genre ( s ) Beat ' em up Mode ( s ) Single - player , multiplayer ( except on the Game Boy ) Battletoads / Double Dragon is a 1993 beat ' em up developed by Rare and published by Tradewest . It was originally released for the Nintendo Entertainment System and later ported to the Mega Drive / Genesis , Super NES , and Game Boy . The Ultimate Team is a crossover of both Technos Japan 's Double Dragon and Rare 's own Battletoads game franchises , although Technos had little or no credited involvement in the production of the game outside of the Double Dragon license . The game features the characters from the Double Dragon series , Billy and Jimmy Lee , two young martial arts experts ; also included are the three humanoid toad protagonists from the Battletoads game . It is also the first Battletoads game to feature all three toads as playable characters . The game 's engine and design are directly based upon the Battletoads series . Contents ( hide ) 1 Gameplay 2 Plot 3 Release 4 Reception 5 References 6 External links Gameplay ( edit ) A gameplay screenshot of the SNES version , showing the Battletoad Pimple fighting against the Double Dragon boss character Roper ( Willy ) The player has a choice of five playable characters : Billy and Jimmy Lee from Double Dragon , and Zitz , Pimple and Rash from Battletoads . The player must then proceed through seven stages , kicking and punching each enemy that comes onscreen . A boss is included at the end of each stage , challenging the player before they can progress to a higher level of the game . With two players , the continues are overlapping : whenever one player continues , then both players have to start 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 ) . Plot ( edit ) After being defeated by the Battletoads , the evil Dark Queen flees to the outer reaches of the universe and the ' Toads and their mentor get on with their lives . However , one day the Earth 's military is neutralized and a giant spaceship called Colossus emerges from the moon . Apparently , the Dark Queen is back with another plan to dominate the galaxy , and she has allied herself with the Shadow Warriors ( from the Double Dragon series ) to supplement her forces . Deciding to even the odds , the Battletoads get in contact with Billy and Jimmy Lee and ask them for their help . The brothers agree , and all five immediately take off for the Colossus in a mission to stop this two - pronged threat . Release ( edit ) The initial NES version of the game features 3D scrolling and other advanced special effects not commonly found on the console . The Game Boy version is similar to the NES version , but it is only for one player . The sprites are the same size although the screen is smaller ( leaving less room for movement ) and the 3D effects were removed . The later Genesis and Super NES versions of the game are quite similar , the only differences being the SNES version has better graphics and higher quality sound , while the Sega version runs more smoothly , features more music tracks , has sharper sprites for the ' toads , and more comical reactions from the characters and from defeated enemies , as well as blood from said enemies ' post-defeat portraits . Reception ( edit ) Reception <Th_colspan="2"> Review score Publication Score AllGame ( NES ) The game was very well received upon its release , receiving scores in range of 80 - 100 % in most reviews .
