History VideoGame / DoubleDragonNeon

''Neon'' is available on [[UsefulNotes/PlayStationNetwork PlayStation Network]], UsefulNotes/XboxLiveArcade, UsefulNotes/{{Steam}}, and now the UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch.

* CloningBlues: Averted with Bimmy and Jammy, who don't seem to have the mental capacity for such concepts.

* MassiveNumberedSiblings: According to the Shopkeeper, all the ninja girls you fight are his daughters and he taught them to [[ArrogantKungFuGuy think]] the Lees' fighting style is inferior.

** Expensive Expermient Giant Tank

* MusicalPastiche: Almost all of the ability-granting mixtapes are send-ups of songs, including:

** Alternating Bash: Music/{{Prince}} and Marcia Griffith's "Electric Boogie"

** Fireball: Music/{{Aerosmith}}'s "Walk This Way

** Training Wheels: Music/{{Queen}}'s "Bicycle Race"

* WhipItGood: Linda's weapon of choice. Can be used by the Lee brothers.

** Alternating Bash: Music/{{Prince}}'s "1999"

** Spin Kick: Michael Sembello's "Maniac"
** Stunner: B.B. & Q Band's "On The Beat"

* EightiesHair: Oh so much, in pure Double Dragon style.

* ActionGirl: Linda, Ichsumi, Shun, and Roxy. [[spoiler:And Marian at the end.]]

*** The only characters who don't have this in their subtitles are Skullmageddon (Your Worst Nightmare and [[spoiler:Bone and Metal]]), Ichsumi (Most-Refined), Hoverbizzle (Gyroscopic Jerk), Bao Boshi (Arcane Shadow Magicker), Mecha Biker ([[VideoGame/MegaMan Super Combat Bot]]), and [[spoiler:Evil Marian (Skullmageddon's Girl?!)]]

* MilestoneCelebration: This game was released 25 years after the original ''Double Dragon'' and it's pretty much a tribute to the overall series.

* CherryTapping: There's an achievement for killing an enemy with the key that you can use to unlock chests. Normally, when it's used out of a chest's proximity, Billy/Jimmy thrusts the key into the air (dealing little damage to anything in its way), confusedly turns it, faces the screen and says "What the?"/"What the butt?".

* ShesGotLegs: Every female character, but not the only form of MaleGaze.

* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: Skullmageddon, oh so much.

* EverythingsBetterWithSpinning: The cyclone kick.

* AbsoluteCleavage: Linda's dominatrix gear.

-->'''Billy:''' The endless vacuum of space! I'd better hold my breath.
-->'''Jimmy:''' Good idea, bro!
-->''(They proceed to do so.)''

* BewareTheSillyOnes: Skullmageddon is essentially a ridiculously silly 80's cartoon supervillain, [[note]] He even sounds like Skeletor! [[/note]] but he is also a legitimately rock hard fighter. Then his OneWingedAngel form takes it UpToEleven.

** The final stage has many similarities to the final dungeon of ''VideoGame/EarthBound''. Namely that [[spoiler:the main characters are robotized and enter one-way time portals to chase the final boss.]]

** The 4th level boss, Mecha Biker, is basically Mega Man in every sense of the way: he's referred to as a "Super Combat Bot" (referencing the [[WesternAnimation/MegaMan animated series']] theme song), rides around on a red jetbike much like Rush (Sometimes even shouting "RUSH!" as he tries to run you down with it), shoots 3-shot bursts and charge shots, slides around and even explodes like Mega Man when defeated. His boss arena also has a pair of rising gates leading up to it with a short corridor in between them, and yes, you can jump through the gates and have Billy freeze in midair during screen transition. Finally, the platform the battle takes place on resembles the Mega Man boss introduction screens in both overall color and the borders on top and bottom of it.

''Double Dragon Neon'' is a 2012 ''VideoGame/DoubleDragon'' game developed by [=WayForward=] and published by Majesco. As a [=2D=] BeatEmUp, ''Neon'' strives to be both a parody and homage of its predecessors--with a bit of '80s pop culture parody, to boot.

* BadassMustache: Abobo sports one.
