Batman Returns on Sega Genesis walkthrough

 BATMAN RETURNS

Miscellaneous Hints:

Save the items in the game for the bosses.

Search each level for secret items and passages, you 

never know what you will find.

Act 1:  Gotham City

Level 1:

Practice getting used to the gameplay in this level.  In 

the upper right corner, you will meet up with the 

Catwoman.

Catwoman:  

Start off by kicking her, then jump up or down and kick 

her when she follows, then repeat until she is defeated.  

Try not to use items, as you will need them later.

Level 2:

Head left and drop.  Then, head right, punching the 

clowns.  All the way to the right, drop down and head 

left, using Batarangs on the clowns.  At the far left, 

drop down and head right to a giant statue head.  Punch 

the head and drop down.  Head right to another statue 

head.  Punch the head and drop down.  Go all the way 

left, swinging along the roof (there are spikes on the 

ground, watch out).  At the bottom, head right to another 

statue head.  Punch the head and drop in the hole to find 

the Boss.

Boss:

Stand on the statue's legs and punch their faces.  Items 

work well on these two also!

Level 3:

Head right, watching out for the spikes on the ground.  

At the far right, go up and head all the way to the left.  

At the end, go up again and head right to the platform 

with faces under them.  Go up the platforms, all the way 

to the top while avoiding the demons.  At the top, defeat 

the statues where the demons are coming from and a ledge 

will appear.  Jump on the ledge to face the Penguin 

(don't forget to jump off after it stops).

Penguin:

Walk back and forth punching him when he comes down.  

Don't let him throw missiles at you (walking usually 

stops him).

Act 2:  Shreck's Wonderland

Level 1:

Head right, taking out the motorcyclists with punches and 

kicks (kicks will block the bullets the motorcyclist that 

comes from the left shoots).  At the far right, you will 

find a Boss.

Boss:

Jump up on the ledge and use your most powerful items on 

him.  Then, jump and punch and when you land, duck and 

kick.  Continue this procedure to defeat him.

Level 2:

Head right and then up.  Then, go left and take the 

stairs up and to the right.  Continue to the upper left 

corner to find Catwoman.

Catwoman:

Stay in the left corner, ducked down and kicking.

Level 3:

Jump to the right and jump down.  Head all the way down 

the escalator while not letting the ball touch you.  To 

better escape the wrath of the ball, when you jump from 

one escalator to another, jump and when you get far 

enough below the escalator, hold towards the slope of the 

next elevator (if the elevator is going right, hold 

right).  At the bottom, you will find a hole.  JUMP over 

the hole and continue left to find the Penguin.

Penguin:

Avoid the sawblade by ducking or jumping over it.  Then, 

jump and punch the Penguin.

Act 3:  The Red Triangle Circus

Level 1:

Head right and onto the wall.  Walk right against the 

wall and go up.  Continue right and fall into the cage.  

At the end of the cage, go up and right.  Continue right, 

repeating the previous procedure all the way to the 

right.

Level 2:

Climb up and head right.  Jump over the ferris wheel to 

the house in the middle of it.  Then, jump right to the 

next house.  Get on the wheel around the house and at the 

highest point, jump and use your wings to the right to 

the exit.

Level 3:

Head right.  When you see clowns in the mirror, duck down 

to the left of the mirror and kick.  Head all the way 

right to the rope.  Climb the rope and continue right on 

the ledges.  If you go down into the net, watch out for 

the fire because it will burn a hole through the net and 

you will fall.  All the way to the right, you will face 

the Boss.

Boss:

Stand at the top of the ropes in the middle and kick left 

and right.

Level 4:

Head right to a car with Two white blocks on it.  Jump 

over the first block and stand between them.  Then, jump 

over the next one.  Continue right to the next train with 

two white blocks on it and repeat the previous procedure.  

Continue all the way to the right to the Boss.

Boss:

Hit him in the face and avoid the fire that he shoots 

out.

Act 4:  Into the Sewers

Level 1:

Head right through the sewer maze.  All the way on the 

right, you will find the Boss.

Boss:

Hit his head area while jumping over the fireball he 

shoots out.

Level 2:

Go directly to the bottom and look for a hole.  Drop down 

the hole for a special surprise.  Go all the way to the 

right to find the Penguin.

Penguin:

Start off by getting next to him and kicking him.  Then, 

when he flies away, destroy the cannon.  When he comes 

back, use items on him until he is defeated (He is HARD 

without items).

Act 5:  The Penguin's Lair

Level 1:

Go right and up at the extra batman.  Continue up to the 

top, then head right and down.  When you reach a big hole 

in the ground, grab onto the ceiling and swing over the 

hole.  Continue right and drop down the next hole and 

head right on the little ledges.  On the ledges, when you 

jump, immediately duck down, so that the ladies throwing 

axes won't hit you.  Use Batarangs on the enemies here.  

The exit is all the way to the right.

Level 2:

Stand on the ledges while moving right.  Kick the bullets 

and missiles that the enemies throw at you.  The exit is 

all the way to the right.

Level 3:

Stand on the ledge, and you will float to the right.  

When you see the three ledges, jump up to the second one 

and begin using your most powerful items (try not to use 

the bats).  When the Penguins fly at you, jump up to the 

top ledge to safely avoid them.  When they pass, jump 

down and continue your assault on the Duckmobile.  Once 

the Duckmobile is defeated, go all the way up on the 

brown ledges and at the top, you will face the Penguin 

for the final time.

Penguin:

Start off by heading to the right and taking out the 

electrical generator.  Then, head over to the left side 

and duck down and throw Batarangs when Penguin is far 

away.  Avoid  the blue and red flames and when the 

Penguin gets close, kick him repeatedly.  Repeat until 

defeated.

Ending:

Try not fighting the Catwoman during this screen!  If you 

defeat her, the game will be over.  Watch out for the 

blue flames that drop from the wires.
