==Story==
 
==Story==
The story involves the Dark Queen and the Shadow Warriors teaming up against the Battletoads and the Lee brothers.

{{ScreenThumb|Battletoads-Double Dragon, Introduction.png|width=200|Introduction}}
The battletoads contact the Lee brothers after this union takes place and team up with them to take down both their opponents.
+
After she was defeated by the Battletoads, the evil Dark Queen flees to the outer reaches of the universe. However, one day, the Earth's military is neutralized and the giant spaceship Colossus emerges from the moon. The Dark Queen is back with another plan to dominate the galaxy, and she has allied herself with the Shadow Warriors (from the ''Double Dragon'' series) to supplement her forces. Deciding to even the odds, the Battletoads contact Billy and Jimmy Lee for help. The brothers agree, and all five immediately take off for the Colossus in a mission to stop this two-pronged threat.
  
 
==Gameplay==
 
==Gameplay==
The gameplay is similar to the previous ''Battletoads'' games. There are five playable characters. This includes Billy and Jimmy Lee from ''Double Dragon'' and Zitz, Pimple, and Rash from ''Battletoads''. There is an attack button and jump button. Despite there being only two buttons there are several moves which are pulled off with either button combinations or automatically depending on the situation. Weapons dropped by enemies can be grabbed and used; these weapons include a stick and sticks of dynamite. There are also capsules which contain various power-ups and point bonuses. In two player mode when a player loses all their lives and continues it starts both players at the beginning of the stage.

{{ScreenThumb|Battletoads-Double Dragon, Character Select.png|width=200|Character select}}
 +
The game is a beat-'em-up that plays more similarly to the ''Battletoads'' games than ''Double Dragon''. It can be played by one or two players simultaneously. 2 Player Game A mode allows the players to hit each other, while 2 Player Game B mode does not. Players fight enemies and travel on spaceships and turbo bikes to defeat the Shadow Boss and Dark Queen. For the first time in either series, players can select a character through a selection screen before starting the game. Players can choose from Rash, Zitz, and Pimple from ''Battletoads'' and Billy and Jimmy Lee from ''Double Dragon''.
 +
 
 +
All of the toads are equipped with their usual "Smash Hit" attacks, such as big punches ("Kiss-My-Fist"), big kicks ("Big Bad Foot"), double-handed hits ("Nuclear Knuckles"), headbutt ("Battletoad Butt"), a wrecking-ball-like charge used while hanging on a cable ("BT Bashing Ball"), kicks while hanging on a rope ("Swingin' Size Thirteens"), a throw ("Take Out the Trash"), backward kicks while riding a speeder bike ("Bikin' Bash"), walker leg bashes ("No Way Back Thwack"), and enemy slamming ("Twin Side Slam"), with a new attack being a kick while hanging on a ledge named the "Back 'N' Front Punt." Likewise, the Lee brothers have their Dragon Force techniques, such as spin kick, knee drops, and elbow-drops. New abilities include hanging off of and moving across sides of platforms, and kicking off enemies while doing so, although the player can fall off and lose a life if other enemies step on his fingers.
 +
 
 +
The characters move in any direction using the D-Pad. They run with {{left}}{{left}} or {{right}}{{right}}. They jump with {{B}} and attack with {{A}} or {{C}}. Multiple successive attacks chain into combos. There are several attack moves which are pulled off with either button combinations or automatically depending on the situation. Weapons dropped by enemies can be grabbed and used with an attack button. These weapons include a stick and sticks of dynamite. There are also capsules which contain various power-ups and point bonuses. Like ''Double Dragon'', some stages contain ladders or fences that can be climbed with {{up}} and {{down}}.
  
===Levels===
+
Characters have six health segments and lose a life when they lose all of their health but revive in place. The game ends if the player runs out of lives but can be continued up to three times. In the two-player modes, if one player loses all lives, both players have to start the stage over. Players earn extra lives at 100,000 points and then every 200,000 points after that.
As usual with ''Battletoad'' games there are side scrolling action levels, rope repelling levels, and vehicle levels. Levels alternate with between themes of both games and contain enemies and bosses inspired by both. The standard action levels involve running from the start point to the finish, fighting enemies along the way. The repel levels involve going down some sort of shaft and moving your character to avoid obstacles while also fighting enemies that are in the way. The vehicle levels involve dodging obstacles also but on the bike levels the player can actually attack passing bikers with their feet, which is a first for the ''Battletoads'' series.

Story

Battletoads-Double Dragon, Introduction.png

Introduction

After she was defeated by the Battletoads, the evil Dark Queen flees to the outer reaches of the universe. However, one day, the Earth's military is neutralized and the giant spaceship Colossus emerges from the moon. The Dark Queen is back with another plan to dominate the galaxy, and she has allied herself with the Shadow Warriors (from the Double Dragon series) to supplement her forces. Deciding to even the odds, the Battletoads contact Billy and Jimmy Lee for help. The brothers agree, and all five immediately take off for the Colossus in a mission to stop this two-pronged threat.

Gameplay

Character select

The game is a beat-'em-up that plays more similarly to the Battletoads games than Double Dragon. It can be played by one or two players simultaneously. 2 Player Game A mode allows the players to hit each other, while 2 Player Game B mode does not. Players fight enemies and travel on spaceships and turbo bikes to defeat the Shadow Boss and Dark Queen. For the first time in either series, players can select a character through a selection screen before starting the game. Players can choose from Rash, Zitz, and Pimple from Battletoads and Billy and Jimmy Lee from Double Dragon.

All of the toads are equipped with their usual "Smash Hit" attacks, such as big punches ("Kiss-My-Fist"), big kicks ("Big Bad Foot"), double-handed hits ("Nuclear Knuckles"), headbutt ("Battletoad Butt"), a wrecking-ball-like charge used while hanging on a cable ("BT Bashing Ball"), kicks while hanging on a rope ("Swingin' Size Thirteens"), a throw ("Take Out the Trash"), backward kicks while riding a speeder bike ("Bikin' Bash"), walker leg bashes ("No Way Back Thwack"), and enemy slamming ("Twin Side Slam"), with a new attack being a kick while hanging on a ledge named the "Back 'N' Front Punt." Likewise, the Lee brothers have their Dragon Force techniques, such as spin kick, knee drops, and elbow-drops. New abilities include hanging off of and moving across sides of platforms, and kicking off enemies while doing so, although the player can fall off and lose a life if other enemies step on his fingers.

The characters move in any direction using the D-Pad. They run with LeftLeft or RightRight. They jump with B and attack with A or C. Multiple successive attacks chain into combos. There are several attack moves which are pulled off with either button combinations or automatically depending on the situation. Weapons dropped by enemies can be grabbed and used with an attack button. These weapons include a stick and sticks of dynamite. There are also capsules which contain various power-ups and point bonuses. Like Double Dragon, some stages contain ladders or fences that can be climbed with Up and Down.

Characters have six health segments and lose a life when they lose all of their health but revive in place. The game ends if the player runs out of lives but can be continued up to three times. In the two-player modes, if one player loses all lives, both players have to start the stage over. Players earn extra lives at 100,000 points and then every 200,000 points after that.
