Everything you need to know about Batman Returns

Master System Batman Returns - Screenshot - Game Title (Europe)

In 1991, Sega released a version for Master System of batman returns. The programming was carried out by Aspect, responsible for the game systems. It is a platform and action game similar to its version for the older sister, but the development of the game is completely different.

In the game, each stage ends when the player reaches the end of the level alive, and the last stage of each stage consists of a boss fight. The most interesting thing about the game is that before starting a phase we can choose the path to follow, which are common situations but with some variations, and one option is more complicated than the other.

Brief History Batman Returns

A new danger!

Gotham City is a strange mix of modern and ancient architecture. The very old and decrepit buildings are supported with steel scaffolding, huge rusting water pipes built into the old brick walls. The bright yellow lights illuminate the streets with a pale reflection. Beneath the city is the sewer, filled with sewage and demonic creatures.

This is the city Batman has sworn to protect. The Penguin has decided to conquer the city and it is up to Batman to clean Gotham of the new danger it faces. There are five stages in Batman's fight through different areas and the boss of each stage is stronger than the one before. It's time for Batman to get ready!

Batman Returns Gameplay

Batman's mission is to overcome all levels alive, so he can jump, slide with his cape, shoot boomerangs (his basic weapon) and hang with a hook, very useful for reaching platforms that cannot be reached with a simple jump. . Enemies don't need a single hit to be killed, but that doesn't mean they are easy, as most of them have some dangerous characteristics.

The technical section is quite good. Graphically, Batman's sprites are well done and have decent animations. We will encounter a great variety and quality of enemies throughout the adventure, and we must pay special attention to the end-of-phase bosses that will wait for us at the end of each level.

The settings are also well-crafted, with varied backgrounds, detailed graphics, and good use of the Master System's color palette. The melodies are well composed and sound good, and the sound effects are also acceptable. It must be said that Batman is easy to control and offers simple actions and abilities, which makes it very easy to play. In addition, there are many phases and a tough difficulty curve that is very attractive. Plus, the alternate routes make it very satisfying to play again.

There are five phases in the game, each with several levels. In addition, we can choose different routes, so we have the game for a while. Naturally, we have a series of objects that can help us in our mission to defeat the evil Penguin and businessman Max Shrek. Everything is shaped like Batman's symbol, but the color reveals its function. The purple symbol increases our range and shooting speed, the yellow allows us to move faster and the orange gives us an extra life. Master System version of a very good platform and action game based on the Tim Burton film, which also has the advantage of offering various routes. Highly recommended.

Special techniques and equipment

Batman can use this equipment in a variety of ways. Learn how to use your equipment wisely to save Gotham City from the clutches of the heartless Pingdino and his minions!

  • The batarang: This is Baiman's main weapon, used to quickly and effectively dispose of his enemies. As Batman passes through the city, he will come across items that will increase the speed and power of the Batarang, Throw the Batarang towards the opponents in front of him, A single throw should knock them down! Jump and throw the Batarang towards the opponents above Batman. They will never be able to see it coming! You can also use the Batarang to open the indicators with articles. Throw the Batarang towards the indicator, and when the items fall. walk over them to pick them up.
  • Batman's hook: You must learn how to skillfully use this weapon, otherwise you will not be able to fight your way through the villains who will try to stop you. Batman's grappling hook can be used to open item gauges. Stand directly below the marker, jump up and fire the grappling hook towards the marker. When it opens, walk over to the item to pick it up.

Use Batman's grappling hook to hoist him over the ledges he can't reach by jumping. Press the 2 button to jump, then press and hold again to fire the grappling hook. Press the D button to jump up and press the 1 button to jump over the ledge. If you decide not to jump over the ledge the grapple is stuck on, press the D button down and press the 2 button to release the grappling hook and jump down.

Fire Batman's grappling hook when he is directly below a ledge directly above, or when Batman is running to push himself up for a power jump. This technique will be very useful in some situations, so practice it a lot. Once Batman is attached, press the D button left OR right to start swinging. Release the grappling hook when Batman reaches the highest point of the pendulum movement, to smash it over the heads of his enemies, or through dangerous cracks.

Finally, you can also use Batman's grappling hook in certain situations to hit enemies. Jump in the direction of the enemy and press the 2 button to hit them.

  • The power plan: Holding the 2 button after Batman has exited will allow him to use his cape to glide in the direction he is traveling. He won't be able to go very far by gliding, but this is a very useful maneuver when you are trying to cover a greater distance horizontally.

There are three types of items to be collected in Gotham City. One adds a life, the second adds strength and distance to his Batarang, and the third increases Batman's speed. Each item is inside a bat-shaped gauge. To open the item gauge, tap it with the Batarang or Garho to reveal the contents, then walk on it while it is bouncing to pick it up.

Note: When Batman has been knocked down, the distance of the Batarang and the speed at which Batman travels will decrease,

  • The yellow item increases Batman's speed:
  • The orange item adds a life to Batman's.
  • The gray item increases the strength and range of the Batarang. The more items you pick up, the farther and faster the Batarang will go when you throw it.

Graphics

Not bad. Very good considering when the game was made. You should be pleased. All the people in the game are big and full in size, and they are easy to see. I'm the kind of person who likes to see big, colorful, animated characters. You get the complete package in Batman Returns. Even the background was very detailed and had a lot of life to it. When you take a look at this game for the first time, you will think that the graphics have a very gothic feel. In this case I think it's very good. Gothem city, gothic graphics? Sounds like a very good option to me. Very good work here.

Music and Sound

I think the music fits very well with the environment. Although some of the music is a little boring, it went hand in hand with where you were. This is not always a bad thing if this is the case. I can still remember a lot of the music to this day because some of the songs are catchy and grab your attention. When you hit an enemy, you hear them growl, which are mostly clown characters. I also think the sound effects were used very well too. The feeling of Batman's punches can be felt by playing this game at your home. You feel like you're in the streets fighting with him. It looked real and I was amazed considering it was one of my first games.

Final reflection

Batman Returns really set the stage for side scrollers on the Super Nintendo. It's a great game from a wonderful movie, and is sure to give you many hours of fun during gameplay. Buying Batman Returns would be a great idea to have a very fun street fighting game in your hands. It's unique, very fun and very valuable. Do yourself a favor and purchase Batman Returns today. I think you will be very happy with your purchase.
