* DemotedToDragon: In the first NES game , Willy goes from being the main bad guy to being the last enemy Billy fights before the final battle with his brother Jimmy. He doesn't even appear at all in the second NES game. Likewise, he's just a lackey to the Shadow Boss (who is not Jimmy like in the NES version, but a completely made-up character who vaguely resembles Burnov) in ''Battletoads & Double Dragon'', where they didn't even get his name right (he is called "Roper" instead).

* DistressedDamsel
* FauxActionGirl: If we are to believe the back-story given in the original game's official soundtrack and some of the console versions, she was formerly an assistant instructor in Billy and Jimmy's old dojo. Seeing how she goes down with only one punch to the gut in the opening of the original game without putting much a fight, her qualifications for such a job are debatable. Her Neo-Geo incarnation, on the other hand, does have actual fighting skills.

* [[spoiler:SparedByTheAdaptation]]
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Marian's name is sometimes spelled "Marion" depending on the game. The manual for the Master System version spells it "Mary-Anne" as well.

* BaldOfEvil: In the original game.
* BarrierBustingBlow: Abobo punches through walls.

He doesn't even appear at all in the second NES game. Likewise, he's just a lackey to the Shadow Boss (who is not Jimmy like in the NES version, but a completely made-up character who vaguely resembles Burnov) in ''Battletoads & Double Dragon'', where they didn't even get his name right (he is called "Roper" instead).
