The Adventures of Batman & Robin: The Video Game . The Sega Mega Drive/Genesis, Game Gear, and Sega Mega CD versions were published by Sega while the Super NES one was published by Konami. All of these games are based on popular DC Comics characters Batman and Robin and specifically the hit animated series Batman: The Animated Series (which had been renamed The Adventures of Batman and Robin at the time of the game's production). The action takes Batman to an amusement park and other places where supercriminals do their nasty work. Nintendo Power criticized the game for not giving Robin a more active role (the game was actually under development before the series was retitled). Otherwise, he supplies Batman with his moral support. Despite this, the game was well received by fans citing the faithful rendition of not only the characters and settings but also the music of the actual animated series. The ones not in the last level are missing beacause they are fought in a different gameplay style rather than fighting you in person. The following major villains appear in the game as bosses (each with their own level). X = Appear only in the last level The Gauntlet. However her two very brief appearances are cameos at best as she only has a couple of lines of dialogue. Summer Gleeson appears on the Batcomputer when there is a news item (usually at the beginning of each level), Alfred appears accompanied with dialogue during the Batcave scenes at the beginning of each level and password and game over screens. Both Commissioner Gordon and Barbara Gordon appear in a later level in cameos. Barbara Gordon is never shown as Batgirl in the game. However, the style and design of the stages themselves are different between each other, which gives notable diversity to the game. Some of the gadgets are in some cases essential to complete some stage. There is also the possibility of returning to the Batcave in order to re- equip the gadgets and restart an entire stage with all the lives the players has accumulated to that point (in case the player had lost lives). The passwords also takes count of the numbers of lives remaining and the continues used.

Many elements of the funhouse part of the level are based on the Christmas with the Joker episode (the laughing Joker dolls and the giant toy soldier robots). The rollercoaster fight is heavily based on the episode Be a Clown. The name of the rollercoaster, Twin Terrors, can also be seen in the background. Like the first level this level is again based on two different episodes. The first part of the level (with Poison Ivy's goons chasing you in the forest) uses elements and characters from the Eternal Youth episode. The second part of the level. The majority of this level is based on the episode I've Got Batman in my Basement (Penguin stealing a priceless artifact from a museum with the help of his pet vulture), while the boss fight against Penguin and his helicopter is taken from the episode Blind as a Bat.

The title card is the same one used for Cat Scratch Fever, another Catwoman episode. Based on Two- Face Part II simply because Two- Face and his gang rob a bank, no other elements from that episode are in this level (even though a remix of his theme is heard). However, the title card of the level is the same one used for the episode The Mechanic, and Two- Face's car looks similar to Penguin's getaway car. The only difference is Penguin was the main villain of that episode, not Two- Face. The second level that is solely based on a particular episode, Nothing to Fear. The title card is the same as the one used for that episode, and the level is named after another episode, Perchance to Dream. The big difference is Scarecrow's sprite, which reflects his 2nd design from the series rather than the one from this episode. He's also created his own Virtual Chess board. The first part of this level, navigating through the Riddler's maze while answering his riddles and the fight against the robot Minotaur, is heavily based on the If You're So Smart, Why Aren't You Rich? Whereas the second part, the fight against Riddler and his Chess board in Virtual Reality, is heavily based on the What Is Reality? Two- Face, Ivy and Riddler couldn't make it, so the Joker has invited Clayface, Catwoman, and Man- Bat instead. Based loosely on the episode Trial, with Joker organizing several of Batman's enemies to confront Batman for ruining all of their schemes (with the addition of Penguin, Clayface, Catwoman, and Man- Bat). Of course, fighting a jetpack- armed Joker is from Batman: Mask of the Phantasm. The game is mostly episodic like the SNES version, with cutscenes in between each level to connect any story there is. The game takes place before Harvey Dent becomes Two- Face. Level 1: The Joke's on You. Edit. The Joker is laying out packages filed with exploding toys all across the city. Freeze and Scarecrow have teamed up to take control of the city. To make matters worse, Catwoman is out looking for someone to fight. Based on the episode Pretty Poison. It's also the only level that shares a boss with the SNES version. Freeze plans to build his Freeze Cannon and encase the city in ice. To keep the Dynamic Duo busy, he's staged a breakout at Arkham Asylum, freeing the Joker, Two- Face and the Mad Hatter. A guard just barely hits the alarm button before he's frozen and watches as the four make their escape. Now all four villains have their own agendas. The game can be played by two players simultaneouslty, one player with Batman and the other one with Robin. Both characters are identical in terms of playability, and both uses batarangs in long- range attacks, while they use melee attacks in short range. In some levels the game switches to a side- scrolling shooter, in which the players must control Batwings. The most comparable episode to this is The Last Laugh. The most comparable episode to this is Blind as a Bat, as they both involve a villain hijacking an aircraft. The most comparable episodes to this are Mad as a Hatter, with Hatter building his own Wonderland. Also contains elements from Perchance to Dream in the surreal second half of the level. Freeze finally completes his freeze cannon and plans to put Gotham City on Ice. The most comparable episode to this is Deep Freeze, as they both involve Mr. Freeze building an ice cannon. Just than, a guard walks by to check on things. Freeze asks the guard to give Batman a message: & nbsp. Freeze stares at his snow globe, while the Joker's insane laughter is heard.

He also holds a snow globe model of the city, rather than his wife. Between levels, the story advances through animated scenes that were created specifically for the game. The animated segments were developed by Tokyo Movie Shinsha, which also did some of the episodes of the original cartoon. Kevin Conroy (Batman), Loren Lester (Robin), Bob Hastings (Commissioner James Gordon), Robert Costanzo (Harvey Bullock), Diane Pershing (Poison Ivy), John Glover (Riddler), Arleen Sorkin (Harley Quinn), Mark Hamill (The Joker), John Vernon (Rupert Thorne) and Ron Perlman (Clayface) all reprised their roles from the animated series. In addition because they are interspersed between gameplay they do not form a complete story. The Joker has assembled a gang of old Batman foes and kidnapped Robin, and the Batman has to go save him. There are four different levels, each with 2 or 3 stages, where Batman runs around beating up thugs and jumping between platforms before taking on a boss. Each stage ends with a boss encounter - some generic machine or thug in the early stages, and a classic Batman villain at the final stage of the level. The four levels takes Batman through a theater where he takes on the Mad Hatter, a frozen office building where he takes on Mr. Freeze, a graveyard where he takes on the Scarecrow, and finally an amusement park where he takes on Harley and the Joker. Batman typically fights with projectile attacks - he has an unlimited supply of batarangs, but you can pick up other weapons with limited ammunition in small item boxes along the way. They're all more powerful than the batarangs. Once Batman gets close to an enemy, he will switch to melee attacks, which deal more damage than the projectiles. Batman can make several types of jumps, both upwards and sideways. Pressing the jump button twice does a double jump. The game starts you out with 9 extra lives, and Batman instantly respawns where he died after losing one, with a full health bar, all ammunition intact, and all inflicted damage and defeated enemies accounted for. There are also multiple extra lives and life bar refill items spread around on the stages, and the game has infinite continues and a password system allowing you to start over from any stage you've previously reached.
