Famimaga September 18, 1987#
The 16th issue dated September 18, 1987 of Famimaga shows pre-release screenshots of Double Dragon. It is possible that these screenshots are merely mockups, mainly because only one enemy type can appear on screen in the final game, and most of these have multiple.
Mission 1#

Pre-release |
Final |

The main differences here are the colors, plus the fact Williams are shown here instead of Ropers.
Mission 2#

Pre-release |
Final |
|---|---|
|
|
Different railing and ladders, a different Linda design, plus a vastly different Chin design coming out of the door.
Mission 3#
|
Pre-release |
Final |
|---|---|
|
|
The level itself seems to look the same minus an added branch on the rightmost tree in the final game, but there's no Linda in this area, nor is there an Abobo hiding behind the grass.

A Linda and Chin are fought here instead of two Abobos that come out from the wall. The wall itself, plus the sky on the right, are also notably different.
