Battletoads & Double Dragon: The Ultimate Team is a crossover brawler from Rare. It's combat is more similar to Battletoads than DD. It features exaggerated finisher attacks and a ton of alternate gameplay modes.
STARRING THE TOADS
RASH - I'm the crazy one and I'm super cool. My smash hits will leave 'em cold!
ZITZ - I'm the smartest thing on webbed feet. I can think as well as fight!
PIMPLE - I may not be smart, but when brain power fails, brute force prevails!
AND THE DRAGONS
BILLY LEE - I'm ready to rumble! No one can match my twisting typhoon kick!
JIMMY LEE - If the going gets rough, I'm your man. I love a good fight!
VERSUS
ABOBO - Abobo good at fight! You little jerks not stand chance against me!
BIG BLAG - I'll be chompin' and stompin' if ya dare step inside the colossus!
ROPER - Ropers the name shootin's my game. Come near me n' I'll blast ya ta bits!
ROBO MANUS - Bzzt! You fleszhy foolsz will beg for mercy when fzzt I'm through with you!
SHADOW BOSS - Come and get me if you dare, Dragons. I'll destroy you and those 'toads!
THE DARK QUEEN - I'll soon rule your precious Earth battlejerks! Ha-ha-ha-ha!
Looks like the Dark Queen's bruisin' for a rematch 'toads! She ain't taking any chances this time, not with the Shadow Boss for backup!
Don't get in a flap, prof. We'll make it even, by teaming up with the Dragons!
We're ready to rumble, toads. Pick us up at city hall, we can intercept the Ratship before it reaches Earth!
With the Ultimate Team assembled, the 'copter heads up into space to make a pre-emptive strike against the dark forces....
Battletoads and Double Dragon has also been ported to NES, SNES, and Game Boy. The Genesis version was the last to be released and features re-done character artwork.
The Game Over music is unique to this version.

As a pure brawler, BToads & DDragon isn't that great. Its combat is really shallow and easy. But oh boy is there a ton of variety. Furthermore, the beat 'em up sections are still satisfying and have great animations. The soundtrack is a superb mixture of 'Toads and Dragon tunes.
