Each level is based on a different NES title and features a dizzying amount of Easter eggs. Using 8-bit graphics, the game follows Abobo as he searches for his kidnapped son Aboboy. Fortunately, he occasionally transforms into his blobby, tumor-like mutant form during certain moves and winposes. Abobo more closely resembles his initial, more human-looking form from the movie, complete with mohawk, although he’s cartoonishly big in the game. The rest of the roster is made up of original characters, though Technos did redesign Burnov, the Big Van Vader-looking boss character from Double Dragon II: The Revenge. #ABOBO DOUBLE DRAGON CARTOON MOVIE#Showing up from the movie are Billy Lee, Jimmy Lee, Marian, Shuko, and Abobo.
