While the arcade version did feature a fight between both brothers at the end, it was an optional battle that only occurred if both players defeated Willy together, and was simply a contest over who would win Marian's affections. The game's title having the adverb "double" in it wouldn't have made much sense with just one of the Lee brothers in the game, so they made the other one into a bad guy. Presumably, this change in the story was done due to developer Technōs Japan's inexperience with the NES hardware at the time, making it difficult for them to work around the console's limitations and properly implement a two-player cooperative mode in the game's conversion.

In the NES version, Bolo first appears at the end of Mission 3 as the end boss and reappears in Missions 4, 5 and 8. Additionally, Bolo wears jeans and shoes instead of trousers and boots.īolo fights almost identically to his head swapped counterpart O'Hara, with the only difference being his two-handed slap attack (an attack inherited from Jick in the first game) and not picking up heavy objects (just like Jick).
