Line 199:
* [[MacGuffin]] - A different one for each adaptation. The Statue in the comic book, the Sword in the cartoon series, and the Medallion in the movie.
** Averted in ''Double Dragon Advance'', where Willy demands the Book of Sou-Setsu-Ken as a ransom for Marian's safety in order to gain greater power. At the end of the game, the book is revealed to be a [[Magic Feather]], as Billy and Jimmy proclaim that they get their strength from their own skills and training.
* [[Manual Misprint]]
** The manual for the first NES game gives out incorrect inputs for the Elbow Punch and Spin Kick, suggesting that these moves were planned to be performed differently at some point. The manual also claims that Abobo likes to throw bombs (actually a mistranslated reference to an "atomic suplex" move [[Dummied Out|he was supposed to have]]) and spells Rowper's name as "Lopar".
** The English manual for the Master System version has the names of Jeff and Willy switched (compare the [http://www.smspower.org/Scans/DoubleDragon-SMS-US-R-Manual?gallerypage=10%2F11 English manual] with the [http://www.smspower.org/Scans/DoubleDragon-SMS-JP-Manual?gallerypage=13 Japanese one]). Although the name "Willy" seems more appropriate for a head-swapped evil version of Billy and Jimmy than "Jeff" in retrospect, so it's debatable whether this was a mistake or an intentional change.
* [[Hachimaki]] - Roper in the SNES version. Billy and Jimmy sported some as well in the American cover arts of the earlier games (including the cabinet art for the arcade game), but they never wore any in the actual games.
* [[Martial Arts Uniform]] - The Oyama Brothers in the arcade version of ''Double Dragon 3'' and many mooks in the rest of the series.
