the player's objective in "abobo's big adventure" is to proceed through different levels of the game using the character abobo from "double dragon". the game itself is split into different sub-games that follow one another, each an homage to a particular game: "double drabobo", "super mabobo", "urban chabobo", "zeld abobo", "balloon abobo", "pro wrabobo", "mega mabobo", "contra bobo", and "punch abobo". each game makes use of the directional keys to control the movement of the character, while the 'a' and 's' keys perform functions related to the particular sub-game, such as punching and kicking respectively. abobo has a rage meter that increases when he hits enemies and decreases when he is hit; when the meter is completely filled, the player can press 'a' and 's' together to perform a special attack that destroys or greatly damages all enemies on the screen. with the exception of the "contra bobo" level, each level is single player only.
