If the order of the music would go according to this then people would only love the game more since the greater songs would come later into the game. after 20+ years i still listen to this soundtrack, amazing job to the composers!
A friend and I did a play through of Return of Double Dragon, using Game Genie codes to rearrange the soundtrack into more appropriate spots. Levels 4 and 6 now have their intended music in the right places, while we changed the music for levels 2 and 7 to different ones (Level 7 uses the Duke Theme). The music used for the airport was supposed to be used in Part 2 of Level 7, but we couldn't program it to work there, so we left that out. The cutscene music was used for the title screen because the tune used in the final stage is the same. th-cam.com/video/ARGZsG6QPqY/w-d-xo.html
Because of Technos going out of business, as many people know, many of these tracks didn't make it to the final product. But not only that, it's obvious that the music in the game was rushed when compressed, as most of the tracks sound VERY lackluster compared to these. Duke's music here sounds incredible, yet the actual music in the Japanese game's sound test menu sounds awful. I would LOVE for somebody to create a hack of this game, compressing the music and putting them in their proper places, and also try to expand the game the way that was intended, like the cutscenes, the stage hazards in Mission 2, and the lost second half of Mission 6... Those would be amazing to see.
I have been working in restoring this soundtrack in this style, and also doing the songs that were never released in SNES style. Both are part of a project my brother and me have been working.

The unused Airport theme is my favorite track as that should've been in the game. With just the cover art alone, and what they were planning to add in the game had there been more time, we probably would have seen something even better, as to what this one guy, Patricio Herrera is trying to do with an OpenBOR game called "Legend of Double Dragon". For all we know, this could've been made into a 90s action anime. Excellent, this tape is.
These songs are from the original sessions when the game was first being developed. The final version of the SNES game axed a few songs and switched the rest around.
the 80s feels are strong
10:33 the 80's vibes are so strong here!!!

Props to you for finding the full version of the Chinatown theme.
The city slum, ending theme & boss theme are awesome!

awesome soundtrack as it was intended
I wish there's an MSU-1 mod of this game featuring THIS Soundtrack.
Amen. This is the true DD4.
2:24 I love this one.
damn years missed out,, just heard this one.
it's much better than the given SNES airport theme, agreed

Feels more robust and 3 dimensional, like I've actually spent a couple hours in an arcade.
11:25 Wow !
Mission 6 Forest is the best song of this game.
How did you get the Chinatown theme? It's cut off on that download page? wtf? :/
Great job finding this!
Thanks.
Great soundtrack! Makes you wanna kick some ass! Love this game.
Wow, So good !!!
Duke's Theme sounds a bit like Mega Man 7 boss music
Did the Famicom boast a better sound chip or something? I feel like the Japanese version is better than the one we got.
This game is from the Super Famicom. This video features music from the keyboard the composer used.
So the Shadow Warriors were drug dealers? The English description certainly alludes to it.
Makes sense. Most gangs make illegal money by selling drugs.
where did you get the original soundtrack
doubledragon.kontek.net/
こっちのBGMバージョンSwitchでも遊べるのかな？断然こっちの方がいー⚡
nice. how does this relate to the SNES version?
These songs are from the original sessions when the game was first being developed. The final version of the SNES game axed a few songs and switched the rest around.
Remains me of a movie soundtrack.
