PrinceWatercress plays The Adventures of Batman & Robin (Super NES) - Part 5 of 8

This stage is a driving stage, and this is quite possibly the shortest of the stages. Unless your driving is good, however, you're gonna have a tough time with this one.

Trouble In Transit

The stage begins with Two-Face fleeing and firing a machine gun after committing a heist. You will then see Summer Gleeson reporting on a robber at the Gotham City Bank and how Two-Face and his men have fled by car. Batman and Robin go after them in the Batmobile, which starts a top-down driving stage. What, no behind-the-Batmobile view like in Batman Returns?

Use Left and Right to turn in the respective direction. The B button accelerates, the A button brakes, and Y fires the guns. L and R will allow you to rotate the Batmobile (and the screen, hello, Mode 7) to make intersections and the like easier.

When you see yellow signs with white arrows telling you where to go, be ready to go in those directions. Be careful when turning, as you will crash if you take turns full speed. Instead, take your thumb off the accelerator for a brief moment, then take the turn. Try to avoid other vehicles if you can, since that is easier than shooting them. You will need to be on the right side of the road if you have to turn left, and on the left side if you have to turn right, as it is the only way to make all the turns without hitting walls too many times. This section does not play at all.

Also, there is a time limit. If you crash too many times, you're not going to make it to the next important point in the stage before time runs out.

If you make it to a yellow car that suddenly screeches onto the screen, you made it to Two-Face! Try not to crash as you shoot at all the cars. You can either inch towards the direction that the game tells you to go so you can make the turn more easily, or you can make a wide turn at the last second. However you do it, just don't hit any walls. Thankfully, turning is easier on the freeway.

You'll eventually catch up to Two-Face. Thankfully, this part is not timed. When Two-Face is in front of you, he will lay down bombs that will blend in with the road. Stay to the side of him when you shoot at him. When Two-Face is behind you, he will shoot rockets. You can either avoid the cursor and keep firing to lay bombs behind you, or you can use the brake to get back behind him. Just don't let him you; that will do a lot of damage. When you start seeing shards of glass come out of Two-Face's car, you're close to ending the battle. After this, it's on to Stage 6.
