Double Drabobo is the first level of Abobo's Big Adventure. It is based on the game Double Dragon (which Abobo hails from), and plays out as a beat-'em-up. The boss of the level is Shooter Gavin.
Cutscene[]
The level of Double Drabobo (and the whole game in general) starts out with Abobo's son Aboboy getting kidnapped by enemies on the streets. Abobo (who was previously hanging on the Statue of Liberty during the intro) soon falls from the sky, lands onto the streets (also causing damage and killing a cat in the process), and discovers that his son is missing, making him cry, and become enraged, thus starting the level.
Layout[]
Double Drabobo starts out on a basic city street, a nearly perfect replica of the starting area in the game that it is based off of. Merely progress down the street and fight enemies. A does a simple kick, whereas S does a punch, which can be combed into a second punch and a head slap. Barrels can be picked up and thrown with A, and will explode after a few throws. When Abobo hits certain enemies (Ransomling and Ransom Gal), he will eat their head to gain health, and can now throw their body, which acts as an explosive barrel. At certain spots, you will not be able to progress until killing all onscreen enemies.
When faced with the T&C Skater, a single kick will instantly kill him, though the timing can be difficult, or it can either take over two hits to defeat him. Just after this, Donkey Kong will appear and rain down exploding barrels, which must be dodged until all the other enemies are killed, at which point the ladders will drop down so you can fight Donkey Kong directly. If you can quickly get down and kick DK Jr. during the brief span that he appears after defeating the elder Kong, you will regain a little health. After another group of enemies, you will fight a mid-boss, Beardy Barrel, who can fire flaming balls of oils at you, but is otherwise not too difficult than the normal enemies you've been fighting. After a final small group of enemies (which can be easily dispatched off with the nearby Ransom Gal), enter the building for the boss fight. Shooter Gavin is similar to Beardy, but his hits and shots from his gun do a lot more damage. There's also a conveyor belt in the middle of the room, and falling into the pit that it runs into is an instant loss of one life.
The level contains a hidden Easter egg called Private Party, which only occurs if you use an elevator before entering the building to fight Shooter Gavin.
The Rage Move of the level is known as "Rocky Rage", where Abobo will charge a punch and jump into the air, making a large rock shower to fall down and defeat every enemy onscreen.

Trivia[]
- Aboboy getting kidnapped by enemies in the opening cutscene at the beginning of Double Drabobo references the opening cutscene of Double Dragon where Marion (Billy Lee's girlfriend) is kidnapped by the members of the Black Warriors gang.
- A red pillow can be seen laying on the streets in the opening cutscene, which Crono's Cat doesn't land on, after being hit and flung into the air by Abobo, when he crashed onto the ground. Both the pillow and dead cat later disappear.
- The elevator glitch from the original Double Dragon on the NES was recreated for reaching the Private Party Easter egg.
- An unfinished version of Double Drabobo is playable in the demo of Abobo's Big Adventure, along with Super Mabobo. Thomas, the main protagonist of the NES game Kung Fu, appears as an enemy in the demo of the level, along with a boss called Slashy McFeeble, who originates from Ninja Gaiden. Abobo and the level's graphics were also not retextured in the demo as they are in the final game.
