Double Dragon III: The Sacred Stones — About this game
The NES adventure begins with Billy in one-player mode, then adds Chin after China and Ranzou after Japan. These allies change how a fight can be approached: Chin brings powerful strikes, while the ninja uses a sword and aerial techniques. Five missions take the party from the United States through China, Japan and Italy to Egypt.
Every character has one life. An empty energy gauge removes that fighter, leaving surviving allies to take over. Open the SELECT screen before losing someone to choose another fighter or equip a limited-use special weapon. There is no arcade-style shop for buying party members. Two people can fight together, with Mode A preventing partner damage and Mode B allowing it. In the opening dojo, practice the simultaneous-button jump and approach enemies along a different vertical line. Later platforms and gaps demand care, because losing one fighter can sharply reduce the party’s remaining chances.
This English regional script makes the stones part of rescuing Marion; the Japanese story has a different motive.
