About This Game
The game merges both franchises' mechanics - Battletoads' morphing attacks and Double Dragon's grappling system. Players fight through the Dark Queen's spaceship to rescue Billy and Jimmy Lee.
GB-specific features include simplified controls (two-button combat), battery backup saves, and adjusted enemy patterns to accommodate the handheld's limitations.
Considered one of the most technically impressive GB beat 'em ups, with large character sprites, multi-plane scrolling, and a faithful adaptation of the NES version's soundtrack.
