Double Dragon 2 walkthrough (Nes): Mission 1 - Into the Turf

The first mission doesn't really have a setup or rather, it is merged with the global explanation (see the intro section for the text even if you will find this part in the video on this page).

This first level begins near a garage as in the first Double Dragon. Directly attacked by punks, you will follow a path passing first by shirtless guys in green pants and spiked suspenders, then again male punks followed by female punks.

The level continues a little higher by climbing a ladder. We find the 3 previous enemies in no particular order and 2 other ladders. Weapons make their appearance: the girls' chain whip, the male punks' knives (be careful, you can't see that they are equipped with them and they can get you from a distance, play with the depth) and finally at the top, the basic iron bar. This can be used either with the button that strikes in front of you and your character will hit, or with the button that strikes behind, in which case it will cross the screen horizontally dealing massive damage.

Level 1 Boss of Double Dragon II on Nes

This first level ends with a boss. This big brute with a helmet will punch you, and his imposing size also allows him to lift you with one hand by the skull while hitting you in the stomach with the other. You will have to take away about 4 hit points to see him disappear, leaving his helmet falling to the ground. Be careful though, because this somewhat magical being will reappear under his helmet with about 2 hit points.

Once eliminated, you will move on to the second mission.
