Battletoads/Double Dragon is a 1993 beat-'em-up developed by Rare, featuring characters from Rare's Battletoads franchise and Technōs Japan's Double Dragon series. It first launched for the NES in North America and Europe in June 1993, with ports to the Sega Genesis, Super Nintendo (SNES), and Game Boy following that December.
The story picks up after the Dark Queen, defeated by the Battletoads, flees into outer space. Earth's military is crippled, a massive warship lands on the Moon, and the Dark Queen forms an alliance with the Double Dragon series' Shadow Warriors to conquer the galaxy. The Battletoads team up with Billy and Jimmy Lee to take on this dual threat.
Players can choose from five playable characters: Billy and Jimmy Lee from Double Dragon, plus Rash, Pimple, and Zitz from Battletoads. The game has seven levels, each with a unique boss fight; players battle through enemies to face the Dark Queen in the final showdown. Two-player co-op is supported, but shared continues ramp up the challenge.
Its creative level design includes classic hoverbike stages and shooter segments reminiscent of Atari's *Asteroids*. Diverse character moves—like the Battletoads' signature big boot kicks and Double Dragon's hair-grabbing attacks—add to the fun.
Overall, Battletoads/Double Dragon stands as a classic 1990s beat-'em-up, defined by its one-of-a-kind character crossover, varied level design, and rich action gameplay.
