Tyco Toys produced a set of action figures. Out of all three fighting game spin-offs of Double Dragon, this is the first and only game to receive criticism. The game was first ported to the Super NES, then it had a North America-only release for the Genesis, and the final port is the Jaguar which is the only console to have a Japan release of the game. In 1994, the tie-in video game Double Dragon V: The Shadow Falls, has been developed by Leland Interactive Media and published by Tradewest. He is the half-brother of Billy and Jimmy's mother. They are led by the Shadow Master, with many powers including shapeshifting and teleporting, and he is able to trap warriors who fail him in the Shadow Mural. These mutants are created by "high levels of EMF generated by (Metro City's) ancient underground power grid". The Shadow Warriors are the main antagonists, a criminal organization composed mostly of mutants. Junior Dragons are Billy and Jimmy's younger students, and supporting characters throughout the series. Jimmy's personality is based on the cocky, charismatic, and belligerent side of Bruce Lee.ĭragon Warriors are other martial artists recruited by the Lee brothers in their fight against the Shadow Warriors, bestowing them with superhuman powers through the use of a smokeless, green "dragon fire".

The brothers sometimes sense when the other is in danger. Injury sustained by one is sometimes taken by the other. They usually transform out of those forms by crossing swords again and saying in unison, "For Might! For Right! We are Double Dragons!", although several episodes show that heavy injury can deactivate their powers. The Lee brothers are martial-arts instructors and police consultants, who assume superheroic identities at moments of escalated violence. All of the characters introduced from the second episode onward are original creations made for the show, although most of the villains are also used in the Tradewest-produced Double Dragon V: The Shadow Falls, a competitive fighting game released for home consoles. By the end of the second episode, Abobo and Willy are sucked into the Shadow Mural, never to be seen again, while Jimmy abandons his evil ways and reconciles with his brother to fight against the series' true antagonist, the Shadow Master. The villains are the mysterious Shadow Boss (Jimmy's initial alter-ego), and his henchmen Abobo and Willy (who were based on enemy characters from the game). The plot of the pilot episode is loosely adapted from the NES version of the first Double Dragon game. The futile search for their father, John Lee, is a subplot throughout the series. During the course of the series, the brothers recruit allies in their war against the Shadow Master and his henchmen. When Jimmy is betrayed by the Shadow Master, he renounces his evil ways and joins his brother as a Dragon Warrior. As a result, the Lee brothers oppose each other as adults. Billy is raised by an elderly martial arts master known as the Oldest Dragon, and his brother Jimmy is raised by the evil Shadow Master as his second-in-command, the Shadow Boss. The premise of the show is that the protagonist brothers are separated at birth.
