Super Double Dragon / Return of the Double Dragon PLUS
Return of Double Dragon · リターン・オブ・ダブルドラゴン
A hack that gives the rushed SNES Double Dragon the story it never had: an intro, cutscenes between stages and a proper ending, plus a character select, a music playlist and a cheat menu.
What's new
Jackic's hack sets out to make Super Double Dragon feel like a finished game. It adds an opening that sets up the plot, story scenes between stages and a real ending, built where possible from graphics that were left unused in the original cartridge. The cutscenes were designed by Kakamora.
A simple fighter select lets you pick Billy, Jimmy or a third brother, Sonny. The options screen gains two new pages: a music page where you choose the track for each stage, and a cheats page with options such as faster Dragon Power charging, infinite health for either player and a turbo mode.
For players who only want the story, a second patch adds just the cutscenes and leaves the rest of the game as it was.
Playing it
The patch works with the Japanese Return of Double Dragon or the US Super Double Dragon and is applied to your own copy of the game, following the instructions on the hack's official page. Jackic also posts about his projects on his blog.
