Hello everyone and welcome to the latest installment of the Weekly Contests! For the intro this week, it’s going to be a blast from the past. For those of you who remember the 2014 intro to the Double Dragon contest, this should seem very familiar. This is one of my favorite contest intros ever, so I want to share it with those that didn’t get to read it the first time around. With several changes to make it fresh and entertaining, I hope you all will enjoy it.
So this week, I need everyone's help. And I need it big time because I am in some really deep doo-doo right now. This morning I was working on my car in the garage, and before you ask what kind of car it is, I drive a 6000 Sux. What, you’re not familiar with it? You know, it’s the one that drives really fast and gets really bad gas mileage. Yeah, that one! Anyway, my girlfriend Marian is there (you know, the really hot girl with the tramp stamp dragon tattoo) and decides to go get us some lunch from this new place called Panic Restaurant. She ordered a chicken sandwich and I ordered something like eight hotdogs because I didn’t eat my Wheaties that morning and was SUPER hungry. Then she starts nagging me about eating too much. Marian is all like “You shouldn’t eat so much at one time. You’re going to get fat. Don’t eat too many hotdogs!” Blah, blah, blah, blah, BLAH! You know how women can be. Geez! Anyway, I said “Fine! I’ll only order FIVE hotdogs!” I hand her the money and she mutters something about me still eating too many hotdogs as she leaves through the open garage door. No sooner does she walk out of the garage, I hear her scream. I roll out from under the car and rush outside, fearing the worst, like she saw a spider or saw some crazy old guy riding his bike down the street in his underwear. To my surprise, I see some ugly dude in a vest throwing Marian over his shoulder. Before I can act, this huge bald guy throws me against the wall and I blackout. What's that you say? What did he look like? I didn't get a good look at him, but I know he wasn't Karnov or Bald Bull or Soda Popinski or Jerbilly. So, I wake up with a pounding headache and my mouth oddly tasting like a dirty fart and notice a note pinned to my shirt. I unfold the note and this is what I see scrawled across the paper:
“Bimmy,
I have your girl, Marian. Man is she ever hot! This is revenge for putting that rubber snake in my bed. You know I hate snakes. If you want Marian back, come find me in my fort. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Your cool brother,
Jimmy
P.S. We also let the air out of your car tires, stole all your ice cube trays, and pulled all the bookmarks out of your books! Now you'll never know where you left off in How to Win at Nintendo Games! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! Oh, and Abobo plugged up your toilet. He said he wanted to leave you a “Super C surprise” hahahahaha!!!! You might want to call a plumber. Oh yeah, and he may have farted in your open mouth a few times. He ate a bunch of hard-boiled eggs this afternoon and now he has stinky egg farts. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Seriously, though, they REALLY stink!”
Can you believe this!? I put a rubber snake in Jimmy's bed as a harmless April Fool's Day prank and he kidnaps my girlfriend??? What kind of crap is this??? And he called me Bimmy!! Like, hello, my name is Billy, not Bimmy. Bimmy isn't even a real name!! Get it right, moron!! And YUCK!!! Who farts in someone’s open mouth?? That’s totally disgusting! Gag me with a spoon and get me like 50 breath mints. The weirdest part about it is that I now have a strange craving for eggs. Also, are any of you out there a plumber? He wasn't kidding about what this Abobo guy did. He totally wrecked my bathroom. I didn't think it was possible for a human being to produce so much...Anyway, this is where I need your help, and not with the bathroom. I need all of you to help me get to Jimmy's hideout so I can rescue Marian. Help this Double Dragon get his revenge...hmmmm...Double Dragon...revenge...this gives me an idea for a sequel...Anyway, this is what you need to know to get me to my brother:
-
Play until you lose your last life. Take your picture while you are flashing or as you are falling into a pit (you can pause the game at this point). If you allow Game Over to flash up on the screen, you will likely not have enough time to take your picture.
-
Get as far in the game as possible
-
Get as low of a score as possible
-
If you beat the game, take your picture when Billy Lee rescues Marian. You can pause the game on this screen
-
No headbutting allowed
-
No weapons glitches allowed
-
You may not re-enter doorways to reset your life bar. Doing so will result in your score being disqualified
-
Furthest progression wins with the lowest score taking precedence
-
Participation: Get to Mission 3 (The forest stage)
-
GENRE: Beat ‘Em Up
The contest ends Sunday, 4/17/16 at 11 PM NA time. Your user name MUST be written or typed on a piece of paper and be in the picture for your score to be valid. The entire TV screen, or computer monitor if you are playing on an emulator, MUST be in the picture for the score to be valid. No partial screenshots will be considered or accepted. No screenshots by hitting "print screen" on a computer will be allowed. You must take a picture of your computer monitor. There may be instances where this will be acceptable, but it will be at the discretion of myself and the contest organizers. Also, the use of turbo controllers is forbidden, as well as any cheat codes, Game Genies, slow motion functions, or save states if playing on an emulator. Also, we will only be using NTSC systems for the contests. The use of PAL systems will NOT be allowed. Good luck everyone and have fun
