- Genre: Action
- Style: Side-Scrolling Platform
Game Description
Batman and Robin must battle Gotham City's notorious villains across five side-scrolling levels, each structured like an episode from the animated television series. You'll automatically switch between the dynamic duo to take advantage of character-specific abilities: Batman uses a grappling hook to scale heights, while the agile Robin can walk across ceilings. Both heroes can also perform wall jumps to reach ledges. Confront multiple boss characters while navigating each hazard-filled stage, including the Joker, Scarecrow, Mr. Freeze, Catwoman, Poison Ivy, the Penguin, and the Riddler. Defeat mobsters, soldiers, clowns, and other enemies by punching them until their health is depleted. The crime fighters will also be able to throw a limited number of batarangs after locating them somewhere within each stage.~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide

Gameplay
The game is an action-adventure platformer in which the player, for the most part, controls only Batman and controls him to the end of a stage where there is usually a boss waiting for him in the form of one of Batman's enemies from the animated series. However, the style and design of the stages themselves are different between each other, which gives notable diversity to the game.
There are a couple of occasions in the game in which control shifts over to Robin where you control him for a short time before moving back to controlling Batman.
Batman has some of his gadgets available which he can use such as his Grappling Hook and Batarangs. Robin can also use some of the gadgets too. In addition both characters have some abilities that they can individually use.
Characters
