PrinceWatercress plays Batman: Return of the Joker - Stage 2 of 7

After some more platforming - which the game really loves to do, if you couldn't already tell - we get to fly around and shoot things.

The platforms are pretty fast, so be careful. This is especially true when you're trying to jump onto the next platform and take care of an enemy at the same time.

The gray platform at the end of the first section sinks when you land on it, so get on and leap to the right quickly.

As you make your way through this stage, you'll be seeing electric barriers along the floor as well as in the most inconvenient places. They get even nastier in the second section as they act like pits of death. The platforms get worse, too, as they move around in a loop and sometimes have enemies riding on them. Duck, then jump to get past the last platform.

Sometimes, enemies will drop power-ups, so be ready to get one when that happens.

For a game with short levels and stages, these levels can be pretty unforgiving unless you know what you're doing.

Now you're flying, and you can move anywhere you want with the Control Pad.

Watch out for the human enemies. If they're not on jetpacks and shooting a laser gun at you, they're on a hoverbike and shooting series of missiles at you. To take out the guy on the motorbike, bring the B power-up with you, stay on the upper-right corner of the screen and keep shooting.

The blue things with the flashing lights underneath hold the power-ups, in case you're wondering.

Your shots will bounce off the spiked balls, so don't even bother.
