Episode 17
Double Dragon is one of the most influential video games ever made! It gave us the blueprint for the entire Beat 'Em Up genre - Without Double Dragon, we'd have never seen games like Final Fight, Streets of Rage, or The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles arcade game.
But how did this great gaming classic get made? What previous games and movies inspired it? Why is the NES version so different from what we saw in the arcades?
We'll dive into all of that on today's episode, and then we'll learn:
* Ways to manipulate the Experience system, so you can get all of the most advanced techniques early!
* How to use ALL of the game's moves - which ones are powerful, and which ones are weak!
* How to avoid the game's most dangerous traps!
*Secret tricks for defeating ALL of the game's bosses... AND MORE!
SPECIAL NOTE - Music Track from Iron Mike Sharp!
In today's video I'm featuring a song by Iron Mike Sharp! Iron Mike makes AMAZING remixes of Nintendo chip tunes. If you enjoy old school video game music, make sure to check him out. You can listen to his entire album for FREE at this Link: ironmikesharp.bandcamp.com/al...

Great video. A cool trick in mission 2 is when u climb the fence and steal the bat from the Williams then fall off that ledge to the other side. Walk to the enemy at the top to trigger him to walk just past the girder. Then climb the fence and go all the way to the other side and fall off the fence. Then climb the fence walk back towards the other side and fall again off the fence ( avoid falling into the pit). Walk near the girder and start hitting the punch or kick button. For some reason, the game glitches and it thinks a Williams will b there. If you do it right you'll hear a sound as if you're hitting something. You can do this and basically farm all the XP hearts and get all you're techniques. I know that's long winded and that I hope i explained it well enough.

The great thing about "The Invisible Williams Trick" is that you will have the level 6 elbow strike just in time to face the double Abbobos at the end of the forest section of Mission 3. 3 elbow strikes a piece will put them down real quick. Doesn't make a ton of sense, because it wouldn't seem like an elbow strike, irl, would inflict that much damage on a giant slab of meat like Abbobo, but that is video game logic for you.

I would say that the best place to farm levels/EXP early on would be at 11:40 What you'd want to do is lure the enemy to the left side of those red girders, then while he is standing there, you climb back up the fence to the left. You should then walk to the left for a bit until you despawn the enemies. When you then make it back again, walk up to the area where you left the enemy and punch the air where he was standing. You'll then see your points and EXP racking up. You can do this until the timer runs out if you wish and quickly max out your level. Also, I have to say it "Fifty thousand!? You got fifty thousand on Double Dragon"

Side scrolling beat em ups are some of the very best games ever created, and they helped to reinvent the arcades in the 90's! It was a glorious time to be a kid! I'm working on saving for a recroom masters kit soon, just to relive the original feel of these games. Even though i was largely in my PJ's jamming out on the carpet to some NES and Genesis, the arcade setup cannot be matched.

@dycedargselderbrother5353 2 жыл бұрын

Yeah, arcades were in critical condition when Double Dragon came along and the game led to a kind of silver age of beat 'em ups and, later, one-on-one fighters. Altered Beast, Golden Axe, TMNT, Final Fight, X-Men, Street Fighter II, and Mortal Kombat all basically originated from this point.

Nice walkthrough man - I couldn’t get that trick with the Green Abobo’s working but honestly it’s very easy just to spam the back elbow there (I think maybe a touch more emphasis on how useful that attack is would help newbies) also cool tip I found out by accident; at 17:16 if you mess up there, get hit by dynamite or whatever, just go back out the door you came in and come back in - energy bar and clock reset again, no penalty at all. Great advice on the levelling system too, I tend to do the 3 punch and run trick you demonstrate at the start, throughout the whole of the first 2 missions, you can have all 7 hearts by the start of mission 3 and not have to worry anymore 🙂

This was the very first video of this channel I watched. I love the channel by the way. I'm surprised that you didn't include the experience gain exploit in Mission 2. On Mission 2, when you come to fence that you climb, knock down the first two Williams enemies & walk climb down from the fence & walk forward until the other Williams enemies come out. When the one on the top moves to the left side of the stack of beams in the background, climb up the fence & walk to the left. The enemies that you left behind will be gone. Walk to the edge & turn around & walk back to the right. You'll notice that the enemies are gone. Climb down the fence, but don't advance the screen too far. Walk to the left side of the background beams where that enemy was standing & start attacking. You'll gain experience points for every attack you land. I prefer to have the bat in hand when doing this. Once you've got 7 hearts, you can proceed at the maximum experience level.

Your weapon disappears when the hitchhiker's thumb pops up, telling you to progress to the next area. So if you swing the bat for example, just as the thumb appears, the bat will glitch and take on the appearance of a rectangle with a cross on it. I always thought of it as a birthday gift. Like after knocking the guy out, he says "happy birthday" and throws a present at him. 😆

Oh man so many memories! Can’t remember how many times I finished this game as a kid. My main strategy in this game was always just try to get to 4 hearts as quickly as possible by beating everyone to death using all punches in Mission 1, even the Linda with a whip which got tricky sometimes. I can get 4 hearts usually either by the end of Mission 1 or the start of Mission 2. Then just kneesmash-throw everyone to death. Usually got 7 Hearts already by the end of Mission 2, or start of Mission 3 so I could just throw any amount of elbows or mount-punches that I wanted. Not a fan of the whirlwind kick at 7 hearts though since everyone dodged it. Good thing it got upgraded in Double Dragon 2. First time, I’ve seen that Machinegun Willy trick, & that was pretty dope. From what I remember, there’s a certain distance that if you kick even just once, you immediately go into the Hairgrab manuever, your foot had to be aligned to their foot while they were lying down, & the moment they stand up, you kick them once & it goes into the instant Hairgrab. Worked on everyone except Jimmy for me, since he broke out of hairgrabs. For Jimmy, i just tried to spam kicks from range, thats not within hairgrab distance, the very tip of Billy’s foot isn’t hairgrab distance, the Billy’s foot has to be going into the enemy sprite to do the hair-grab. like your doublekick-elbow technique better though. More flashy. Love your videos man. Kudos to you & keep ‘em coming

Few things that I know that will make life a bit easier: 1. The infinite XP glitch in Mission 2. After you cross the chasm and down the fence, the two Williams will show up. If you have the bat, once the topmost Williams gets to the leftmost side of the girders are in the background, go back up the fence, walk to the left as far as the platform goes (don't have to go down the other fence for this to work), and then go back and strike that spot where you left the Williams. No Williams is there anymore, but you will hear the striking sound as if you are hitting something. You can just sit there and max out your hearts. Then use the Chin quick kill glitch to finish this mission if time is low. 2. The other weird thing is at the final area of the final mission. That knife the Chin has? When you see him drop it, DON'T PICK IT UP! This trick requires precision timing and might be near frame perfect, but if you pick up the knife just as the last Chin blinks for the 3rd time, pick it up. You might have heard of this glitch before, but it will turn into a weird glitchy weapon. The Lindas will come out. Before you down them, allow one to knock the weapon out of your hand. Repeat the process as you did with the Chins. It will glitch out further. Rinse and repeat with the Wropers. If you did this right, it will turn into some club looking thing that you can use against Willy, which will be extremely powerful. Also, don't climb all the way up those ladders on level 1. This game can be very glitchy, and if you climb off the screen there, you can't get back down (I don't know the reason Technos switched port companies from Tradewest to Acclaim, but I would think DD's weird limitations and how glitchy it could be could have been reasons).

I always level up quick on the chintais. Jump kick to knock them down, stand on their knees, then use the punch combo as soon as they get up. If you're close enough they won't be able to hit you.

God I THRASHED the hell outta this game as a kid. Time to settle down and enjoy me some nostalgia. And that OST..... brilliant.

The final battle between the Lee brothers is part of a plot from the 90s DD cartoon. Jimmy Lee started off as a bad guy in the first two episodes before turning good.

More xp from kicking than using weapons. Less per hit, but many more hits. At 11:40, if you don't fight that guy and walk back to where you were at 11:34, you can go back to wherever the guy stopped walking at and kick the air for infinite xp. Great video. I didn't know how to not get shot in such an easy way. I tried to hair grab him while he was off either side of the screen. Not super reliable.

I could never beat this as a kid. The instant deaths and or traps always drained my lives so I never got to learn the later levels. Two years ago when my son got a Switch for his birthday, we got him the NES/SNES library subscription and it was the first game I played on it. When I discovered there was a rewind feature and save states… I was like… ok, I’m beating this no matter what it takes, because really… you can’t fail. I gotta say, I don’t know if it’s the Switch emulation or I’m just old and terrible and out of practice… this game was STILL tough to beat for me, but I gotta say, it was satisfying to play it through even though I was cheating my balls off. Now… I didn’t have any of the strategies you shared at my disposal, but maybe this is one I revisit in the MiSTer.

There is a trick you can use machine gun guys arm as a bat to fight Jimmy. No joke. You have to pick up the knife when last enemy disappear in each group, it turns into a different weapon for the next group. Until the last weapon against Jimmy is the gunnmans arm.

No mention of the XP glitch? Still a great video and an awesome trip down memory lane. I loved it!

I was hoping to show the evolution of your moves over the course of the game, but I still should have shown that trick. I could have easily cut away and demonstrated the trick, then went back to the run. Thanks for watching!

I seem to recall that elbows at level 6 are insanely strong. They were my go-to attack if you can't throw them off screen/into a pit (for an instant death).

There's a trick at 11:47 at the red steel bars were you must leave a enemy at the edge of the steel bar and then you go back and climb the fence and if you move to the left and return back to the steel bar the enemy will disappear and will allow you to hit indefinitely to get all the hearts easily.

All he missed up already in mission 2 after you climb the fence when the enemies are by that pile of beams line them up at the very corner of the pile if you climb the fence, and go back to the other side and then go back again they will be gone,and you can start beating the crap out of that area where they were at and it will give you the experience points until your fully powered up. Loved 😍that trick as a kid.

I *Actually* accidentally figured that trick of going up the wall between the girders out when I owned this game on NES as a child in the 90s!!

It seems like they always have a boss with a gun. It explains how he got to help run the gang. Everyone else just has to rely on martial arts prowess and whatever weapon they can find laying around. This was a hard one to rent from the store because it was so popular you never could find it.
