Arcade

Abobo is a recurring enemy and sub-boss in the arcade version of Double Dragon, first appearing midway through Mission 1, making a rather dramatic archway past breaking through a wall by punching it with his bare fists. This strongman is tougher and more menacing than the other grunts in the game. Due to his large stature, his punches and kicks take a ameliorate achieve than the other minor enemies. His signature technique is the "Atomic Throw", in which he picks up and tosses the player to his back.

He and his variants are the simply male person enemies in the game who cannot be grabbed by the player. Afterwards the initial encounter, Abobo appears over again a few times throughout Mission 3 (including twin versions before arriving at the enemy hideout's gate) and 1 last fourth dimension every bit part of the final set of enemies prior to the terminal boxing with Willy in Mission 4.

Similar Roper, Abobo has the ability to pick upward and toss large objects such as oil drums, merely he merely has the opportunity to use this power in Mission three.

There are three variants of Abobo. A standard baldheaded and mustachioed Abobo with a scar that can pick up barrels, originally called Zack according to a 1987 upshot of Beep.^[1] This variant commonly appears throughout the game.

Jick (or Jack), a disguised and mohawked Abobo with larger eyes who has traded the power to throw barrels in substitution for a powerful 2-handed handclapping. This Abobo intially appears as a singular enemy at the end of Double Dragon Mission 1, but later on appears with a clone equally a miniboss in Double Dragon Mission 5.

There is also a light-green-skinned palette bandy of Jick at the finish of Mission 3, originally but called Abobo, but later retroactively renamed Mibobo. Light-green Abobo or Mibobo has more health, deals more than damage and moves faster compared to the Jick and Zack Abobos. According to Koji Ogata, these variants can also be considered nether the "Abobo" name.

He serves as the end dominate of Mission ane, replacing the Jick variant. The actor fights him inside a warehouse with a conveyor belt at the bottom. This allows the player to easily defeat him by making him fall into the pit at its cease; however, the player too risks that Abobo manages to knock them out first and be the role player instead the one who falls into the chasm.

Abobo'south standard palette is similar to the arcade-exclusive enemy grapheme Jick, that is, dark skin and blue pants - while this palette only appeared in Mission 3 of the arcade game. His moves consists of a standard dial, a boot, also as a manus slap to the confront. He afterwards appears a few more than times in Missions 3 and iv. One variant has white skin and wears green pants, while another variant has dark-green peel and white pants (the same color scheme as the Mission 3 boss in the arcade version, afterwards renamed as "Mibobo"). All the Abobos after the initial one fight in pairs, although only the white ones will fight the role player together at the same time, while the blackness and green Abobos will accept turns.

Abobo is also a playable fighter in the "Mode B" versus game. Unlike the other fighters, his sprite is nigh unchanged from the main game (reused probably due to hardware limitations), bated from the addition of a running animation and other new moves.
