Double Dragon: Difference between revisions

* [[Damsel in Distress]] - Marian in the first game, where [[Save the Princess|the objective was to rescue her]]. She's worse-off in the second game, where she's [[Disposable Woman|killed-off instead]], {{spoiler|although [[Back from the Dead|she does return to life]] in the [[Spared by the Adaptation|NES version]]}}. The English localization of the third NES game even changed the script in order to make it seem as if Marian was kidnapped once again and ends up being possessed by an evil spirit (even though she never appears in the cut-scenes and the final boss who is supposed to be her was actually a different character in the Famicom version). Averted in the Neo-Geo game based on the movie, where Marian underwent [[Xenafication]].

* [[Divergent Character Evolution]] - Billy and Jimmy in the SNES game, where not only their sprites are different (rather than just being palette swaps of each other like in previous games, they started sporting different hair styles), but their basic punches and kicks were different as well.

* [[Dolled-Up Installment]] - The second [[Game Boy]] game was actually a ''[[Kunio-Kun|Kunio-kun]]'' game that had its graphics, music and story changed for its overseas release.

* [[Do Not Drop Your Weapon]] - Willy and his machine gun, the stick wielding version of Chin Taimei, the ninjas in the second and third NES games with their throwing stars and blades, the Japanese swordsmen and Roman gladiators in the third arcade game, the dual-sword wielding Baker from the SNES game, and Kikuchiyo and his cronies in the GBA version.
