!! ''Double Dragon'' contains the following tropes:

* OffModel: In the NES version, Jimmy Lee has blue hair instead of his usual blond in the opening sequence, and his skin tone is much lighter as well. The NES's technical limitations meant it could only display up to 25 colors on-screen, and the opening sequence is the only part of the game that has more than three characters (Jimmy, Marian, Williams, Rowper, and Chin) on-screen at the same time.

* The arcade version, like most other games at the time, rewards you with extra lives based on the amount of points acquired depending on the machine's DIP switch settings. On the other hand, the NES version forces you to clear the game with no score-based extra lives whatsoever.
* The Game Boy version gives you an extra life for every 20,000 points.

* KickThemWhileTheyAreDown: The NES version took a cue from ''[[VideoGame/KunioKun Renegade]]'' and added a Sit-on Punch to Billy's attack repertoire, allowing him to pin down fallen enemy grunts and punch them while they're down.

* PantyShot: After Marian is knocked out in the opening, her sprite shows a pixel of lingerie while one of the thugs is carrying her off. You'll get another glimpse of them after she is rescued at the end and gives her savior a kiss.
