Double Dragon Advance

This page is rather stubbly and could use some expansion.
Are you a bad enough dude to rescue this article?

A remake of the original Double Dragon game, with twice the levels, new enemies and bosses, and a heavily expanded arsenal of moves for the Lee Bros to utilize, with elements from other Double Dragon games (even the console ones) sprinkled in for good measure.

Regional Differences#

The Japanese version of Double Dragon Advance, released four months after the initial North American version, features a few slight changes.

  • The Sound Test on the Option Mode is available by default and does not require a code.
  • A Gallery is made available on the main menu after completing the game on the Expert difficulty.
  • The Special Thanks in the end credits now mentions Bruce Lee, as well as Yoshihisa Kishimoto, the director of the original Double Dragon.
  • The game's difficulty has been re-balanced.
  • Few minor bugs were fixed.
  • Wu In-Sik (one of the Five Emperors fought in Mission 7) has the ability to escape hair grabs by temporarily phasing into a shadow.
