I'd like to believe that instead of vanishing for no reason, the brothers just didn't realize they had beaten their final enemy since he was so pathetic and kept going on their adventure to find the boss of the Black Shadow Warriors. Poor guys.

"In the final room of the game, you'll find Marian chained to the wall and a ton of bad guys..." *Oh boy*

The reason why SDD ending is horrible beacuse the game was so rushed they didnt even implement the cutscenes that were supposed to be in there

I can see Marion's underwear when she kisses Billy in the arcade Double Dragon! They made her skirt longer in the NES version. Also, the real star of that ending is the kitty under the table.

Return of Double Dragon had a longer development cycle but in fact the ending in that one is still unfinished! In the original draft, Duke was part of another part of twin Sou-setsu-ken masters like Billy and Jimmy. Eventually, it was cut down to introducing him to be the Lees' best childhood friend and fellow martial arts masters, but even this was cut in the final version. There exist unused dialogue portraits for Billy, Jimmy, and two of the enemies, that would ideally be used for cutscenes like DDII where this would be explained. After Duke is defeated and Marian is rescued, Duke's shadow doppelganger would materialize out of his body like DDII and exit the hall. You'd leave Marian behind to chase after him, entering a large hallway surrounded by flames on both sides and fighting off a gauntlet of new shadow doppelgangers of various enemies you've already faced while Duke's shadow taunts you. In the end you face off with him, and he warns that his death will mean Duke's death and the Double Dragons will have lost their old friend. A new final boss track would play for this fight. In the end he is defeated and Duke's spirit speaks its final words of appreciation to Billy and Jimmy before he dies for good. The ending shows the brothers and Marian have gathered in front of his tombstone later on--Billy gives a kung-fu gesture of respect as a tear rolls down his cheek, reliving the memories of his childhood. The ending credits display the title: Return of Double Dragon. The End. (Source - translation by Double Dragon Dojo of an article by GAME KOMMANDER, interviewing Muneki Ebinuma, planner for the Double Dragon series.)

Man that arcade DD2 ending is depressing, especially with the picture of them all together and then the tear drop falling from Marian's eye to make "The End" sheesh man. Never saw that version. I owned the NES version as a kid.

At least Advance has a wholesome ending, even a friendlier reason for the brothers to fight.

Top 10 Worst Endings. It's calling you.

The text ending of DD4 should be like this: bimmy and jimmy Lee, ages 45 and 45, gave themselves up to the authorities after the incident. they are now serving a life sentence.

Double Dragon Neon had the best, most lovely good ending of all though. Also catchy as hell.

Man this series is getting real close to hitting the big 100 Wasn't expecting Double Dragon to have a story this sad

14:41 "... as the legend of the Double Dragon's " WHY IS THERE AN APOSTROPHE THERE?!?! It's one of my pet peeves. It's like writing "Monday's". Ugh. You should make a new series of "Terrible Translation Mistakes". Start with Zero Wing for some laughs

Don't forget the Turbo Grafix 16 CD/PC Engine CD version of Double Dragon II, which also has a "beat on hardest difficulty and bring Marian back to life" unlockable ending (along with some pretty killer cut scenes for the time.)

There's a fan remake of Super Double Dragon called Legend Of Double Dragon which addresses a lot of things that the original fell short on plus some amazing combo moves from many other fighting games.

9:21 - 11:59: This ending can also be seen in the Turbografx version, only in Japan.

Man I remember watching your original Double Dragon playthroughs a lifetime ago. Jelly Master was one helluva throwback.

Want a worst ending than the Super Double Dragons? Play the 3rd for the arcade. The Lee brothers defeat the villain (which was a mummy for plot reasons), they discover it's treasure, and give EVERYTHING to charity. I don't mind the heroes being good guys, but let me enjoy some spoils dammit.

I just discovered this channel and it is morbidly fascinating to me. It makes me happy that there’s so many subscribers, regular viewers, and commenters, despite there being nothing but text narration-a decidedly old-school system of making RU-vid videos. There’s clearly an immense amount of work put into these videos. I never even played most of the games featured on this channel. But I subscribed and am really enjoying these videos so far.

8:09 I've heard a theory regarding the Doppelgangers; they're a physical manifestation of Bimmy/Jimmy's anger and despair, slowly trying to take them over.

I remember when I first emulated Return of Double Dragon after having played Super Double Dragon on SNES as a kid, getting to where the game goes on past the final room and thought "Whoa, there's more?! Awesome!" and then finding out that this version of the game has no ending at all, not even the lousy text crawl!

From the sort of people that brought you Altered Beast and Golden Axe.

I thought Shadow Master looked like Dark Prince/Satan too, nice.

Lo gracioso que confundimos al jefe final duke con un enemigo cualquiera,es como uno de esos mods de street of rage remake en los que galsia quien es el primer enemigo de toda la saga por ejemplo el primer zombi de resident evil pues es el jefe final,no hay nada mas vergonzoso para un villano que confundirlo con uno de sus ayudantes cualquiera,es como si le dieran mas fama y credito a robin que a batman. XD

Fun fact: the pc engine version of dd 2 has the same ending and levels as the nes ones, but it also has fully animated cutscenes and when the shadow warrior dies he turns into a skeleton

You’d think they would call the cops after all this.

3:23 sadly it carried over to a few other games, one being castle crashers (until till the 4th gal)

Ahh I remember that double dragons 2 ending on NES. Took me so, so long to beat it as a kid and when I got that ending, it was just awesome.

This episode was one of the weirdest ones... The main reason why i started to watch your videos in first place.

6:54 he f*king ripped his soul to punch it and deal massive damage

When my friend and I get to the end of Double Dragon we always just walk down to the pit and leaving her there.

In the first game, the gang leader got his hands on a fully automtic rifle, a contraban that, in reality; is really hard to get hold of. He used it to intimidate his loons, his rivals, and the people he terrorized. To his embarrassment, however; he didn't know how to take it off of saftey (a mechanic in most guns that prevents misfires by locking the trigger). When he lost the final battle in the first game, he took a little time to learn how the gun works before reappearing in revenge.

For me the best DD game I ever played is Double Dragon Advance, it has so moves from DD1 and DD2 and good combos. Marian still alive and she goes to the dojo with billy and jimmy to train with them. You can see her in River city girls she owns a shop and sell you stuff, the same with Billy and Jimmy they teach you moves in thier dojos. I‘m glad Arc system works got the rights of DD so you can expect a good DD game in the future.

Wait. Where’s 3 where Marion gets possessed by Cleopatra?!?

12:57 YEET

That multiplayer ending in the first game where the two players fight each other reminds me a lot of Crash Bash's Adventure Mode's Tie Breaker if its done in two player and the players have chosen characters from the opposing sides.

I love the song at the end...

@ 6:51, Looks like the enemy pulled out "Bimmy" from "Jimmy" Lee's body! "Ehh Heh Heh Heh Heh!" (pursues to gut-punch the crap out of 'Bimmy'!) 😂😂😂

honestly i thought it was like a tv screen (like a news report) at the end of double dragon 2 on the arcade, especially as Marion blinks

I was surprised when I discovered that the SNES Double Dragon's Train level is actually a track I remember fondly from the Newgrounds days, it was remixed by Paragon X9, I didn't even know it was a remix back then, but man I got a nostalgia overload!

They didn't even need to resort to that silly deus ex machina to undo Marian's death, because the villiain's gimmick was ILLUSIONS! Why not just make her death one of his illusions to lure the Lee brothers to his lair?

Billy Lee's girlfriend lookin pretty thicc not gonna lie

8:55 I take the clones as them regretting not offing the Gang in the first game. Thus them coming back and killing Marian.

At 3:25, great minds think alike, I swear I said the same thing when this ending came to mind .

Double Dragon Neon has got to be the game in the franchise with the best ending... ...theme!

Yeah, "The Revenge" was pretty messed up. And yeah, I too had NO idea Duke was the final boss until after his slow-mo defeat.

Try Double Dragon Neon, you'll love it

that was the one thing that really bugged me about the SNES was the lack of complete endings for some games :( Have you done Young Merlin ??? i mean i pressed a button and it skipped the ending lol

I thought Jimmy was Secretly the Boss..made for a hell of a Twist

I wonder if the whole "beat your friend up to get the girl" influenced castle crashers? Hm...

I can understand a panty shot when Marian is thrown over a dude's shoulder, but the one at the end is just gratuitous. I feel like a creep for seeing it while she kisses Billy.

I love super double dragon the most. I remember renting it from blockbuster's back in the day, my brother was Billy (older) so I was always Jimmy. Even though my favorite color was blue. I never beat the game at a young age but for shuts and giggles I fired it up in the SNES and beat it with my mom lol great game.

You forgot the Genesis version of DD2 (JP), there's no ending, but it shows the player getting their butts whooped in flashback style, like you can tell Marian's death really got to him, which is clearly understandable.

I remember renting Super Double Dragon as a kid, beating it and thinking "Are you f__king kidding me?!"

7:26 That text is hilarious!

Ahh, Double Dragon. The best of the best when you want a side-scrolling beat-em-up.

Yes I totally always said that about the Arcade of Double Dragon 2’s story and why it’s called “The Revenge”, the brothers fight the entire gang again consumed with nothing but rage and vengeance in their hearts and they proceed to beat every single member of the shadow warriors to death until they get to the final palace, and after killing Willy. They then have to fight that inner demon within themselves called “Vengeance” and it’s a battle I think that takes place in both of their minds, they either live as killers consumed by Rage, Guilt and Anger, or they move on and kill that new dark side of them, it is truly their only way to move on, and that’s to conquer their inner demons and be at peace with losing Marion and themselves. “They were becoming what they fought against” Now that is a very powerful message for an old school beat em up arcade.

Was Willy gonna sacrifice Marian on the Altar in the first game? That's a contender for creepy bad endings in itself....

Ooo boi. I love this series.

Kind of feel sorry for the master villain in the SNES game. He's just a normal casual tall guy, a pawn with no special powers who's made to be in charge of the evil operation, presumably after the worst offenders got away in a private helicopter? When Bimmy and Jimmy (cue AVGN) show up he's like " What? No special music to pump me up even? Oooh shite, whatever, I guess I'll have to show up then..." and timidly lurks into view and hopes he won't arouse too much attention and then gets broken like a dry twig; his status only given away by his dramatic slow motion fall.

The NES version's finale may also explain why in the Double Dragon animated series, they had the "mysterious Shadow Boss" as Jimmy Lee for the first episode and half the second episode.

I think Double Dragon 2 the revenge on NES and Super Double Dragon is still my most favorite ones. Kind of wish part 1,2 and 3 got a slight full remake with more detailed story.

I think Double Dragon 2 on the NES had this jumping knee attack, somewhat tough to do but once you got it down it'd launch enemies to space

"The Code of the Dragon states that its Hoes before Bros"

After years of those old ass videos of the console Double Dragons on this channel, its kinda weird seeing how much better the arcade versions look now.

I always thought Billy Lee at the end of DD2 NES was Eric Roberts from best of the best

16:08 I have a dark mind..

Might be reasonable to trim "Creepy Bad" from the video title moving forward. Just "Endings # 81" for the next one, maybe.

Hey Git, do a showcase of Double Dragon Neon sometime soon!

Say whatever you want, the NES ver. of DD2 will always be the best entry for me. Because the the music in that version is THE Banger. Seriously, can't get over how good the Main Menu theme feels on the NES sound cards. Btw, If you wanted a more polished SDD, well can i introduce you to the [GBA] SDD? Yep, that was a ..game Also RIP DD3 for not making this video..... well it was a weird game to be honest

*Pals before gals!*

Waitaminnit, waitaminnit waitaminnit... Did you just say that the music that plays at the end of your videos is from Double Dragon? Welp, after I binge more of them, it will be time to music hunt.

Wtf? Did I hear some Pop 'n Twinbee music in this episode 🤪

The arcade version is weirdly slow, I thought it was faster than that. 6:11 - Ok... I wasn't expecting that. That's a way to raise up the stakes from the previous game, huh. 8:25 - That was weirdly sad. 13:04 - That's legitimately cool. Also, what a weird non-ending the last game had. I wonder what do you think of Double Dragon Neon (or any other DD game, really).

I’m here to be one of the cynics and say the sad ending in the second game is better. It’s very simple but very effective, and back then you usually didn’t see games attempt a more gut-wrenching true ending like that. Btw, are you a Kingdom Hearts fan? The Remind DLC actually has a bad ending for the final secret boss, and it’s very interesting.

Yeah. The SNES version lack of any ending is a huge bummer for a LONG game. I play it strictly because of its great gameplay...just not the whole game, its too long dammit! I play the Super Double Dragon when I want to see Billy's uppercut in action. Otherwise, its always Return of the Double Dragon for everything else. If you want most of the best of what Nintendo has shown of Double Dragon on a remake of the 1st arcade game, with an actual story/ending, play the Game Boy Advance version! For many, it is the best!

Lol appeared like a mook was absolutely hilarious

Nothing will ever top Super DD for me, that game is truly something special

Double Dragon II on NES system is my favorite of all.

I think of the why then fight his shadow clones (arcade and nes) is both the Fury them have after Marian got killed,having both fighting they our revenge,illusion or whatever they have from revenge

I like the music lol

endings that are creepy and bad with some interesting subtext depending on your view

I ALWAYS hated that about Double Dragon! Love the game, but fuck that 2 player ending. I was actually pretty pissed when I saw they brought that back on Double Dragon Neon. Then I saw there was a way to prevent that ending. I beg the second player to use the Shadow Bro option so we don't have to fight each at the end. lol Stupid side note time: ~looks at the one of the bosses grab Billy's clone and starts punching him~ Um... ~looks at my allergy medicine bottle, blinks, then makes a phone call~ Hello. Poison control?

4:48 Jimmy vest hanging in the background.

The ending song in double dragon II sounds almost like the ending song in mega man zero 3, Atleast the begenning of the song does

And then came double dragon neon, with one of the greatest endings of all time

The legend of the Double Dragon's WHAT?

In the Double Dragon cartoon, Jimmy started out as a bad guy in the first season....

It's time for the next series in the Bad endings lineup: Crappy bad endings #1: Super Double Dragon

16:08 Whoisthisgit:ha. he even makes the standard enemy death grunt.

The girl in Master System version seems like a creepy weird doll, so you will get a creepy ending anyway.

What’s the name of the song you use at the end of your videos?

"Never seen again" Oh I know where they went... SUPER SMASH BROTHERS ULTIMATE!

AFTER DUKE AND HIS MINIONS WERE DEFEATED, THE DOUBLE DRAGON PROTAGONISTS SUDDENLY VANISHED. MARIAN WAS NEVER *FUCKING* RESCUED, AND THE SERIES WAS NOW OVER. LOLS. I made it a bit better.

Yep, ya gotta fight for that nookie. What ninjas won't do foh the nookie.

There's pic of them on google where you can see Jimmy holding Billy back from kissing Marian as if he doesn't want them to kiss

After seeing how the endings were way off from each other, I'll just stick to Double Dragon Neon' s ending.

14:52 "That's it!? This might just be the worst game ending of all time!" You really think so? Try this game ending on the AVGN channel, for the Ghostbusters on the NES. Skip to 16:54 on the video if u don't wanna watch everything (which I recommend you to do... James is hilarious!) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TLVGmvmNitg.html

Well, this video is not that creepy, but sure is fun! Thanks! I agree with you about those putrid endings

8:40 at the end of the ending the colors get inverted
