There are several releases of the video game The Adventures of Batman and Robin for some of the different consoles in the market. The Sega Mega Drive/Genesis, Game Gear, and Sega Mega CD versions were published by Sega while the Super NES version 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 & Robin at the time of the game's production).
For the most part, it is an action-adventure platformer in which the player only controls Batman, and follows him to the end of each stage, where a villain is set to appear. However, the style and design of the stages themselves are different from each other, which gives notable diversity to the game.
Some of the more common features in the game are the possibility to equip with different gadgets, such as bombs, x-ray lenses, and so on. Some of the gadgets are in some cases essential to complete some stage. There is also the possibility of returning to the Batcave to re-equip the gadgets and restart an entire stage with all the lives the players have accumulated to that point (in case the player had lost lives).
The game features passwords, which leave the player in the last played stage. The passwords also take count of the number of lives remaining and the continues used. These cannot be obtained in the Hard difficulty, which means that the game must be completed from the beginning.
