Batman Returns

There are two varieties of beat 'em up levels.

One plays like Final Fight and similar games: Batman can move in two dimensions, beating up his enemies with various punches, kicks, combos, and special moves.

Special gadgets to be used include the famous Batarang to take out enemies from a distance and "Test Tubes" filled with chemical explosives which will damage all enemies on the screen.

In the second type of side-scrolling level, Batman can only move in one dimension, left or right.

The Batarang is the standard weapon here, with punches only being used when the enemy gets close.

Also in these levels, Batman can use a grappling hook to cross dangerous areas unharmed.

Enemies in the beat 'em up levels usually belong to the Penguin's Red Triangle Circus Gang - clowns in all varieties: thin clowns, fat clowns, clowns on bikes, clowns armed with bazookas, and more.

At the end of each level, there is a boss fight, including several encounters with Catwoman and the Penguin.

In the Batmobile driving level, the action is viewed from behind.

Batman has to evade clowns on bikes and shoot them down when he gets the chance.

At the end of the road, another boss fight awaits.

Batman Returns for Super Nintendo Entertainment System is currently worth €55.50 loose, €58.81 complete in box, and €152.92 factory sealed. Prices are based on real sales and update regularly on Gamevaro.

Batman Returns has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning it trades hands regularly and isn't considered particularly rare.

Loose means cartridge or disc only, CIB (complete in box) includes the original box and manual, and sealed means factory-sealed and never opened. For Batman Returns, loose is €55.50 and CIB is €58.81 — CIB commands a premium because original boxes and manuals are fragile and often don't survive.

The PAL version of Batman Returns is currently worth €55.50 loose, versus €30.56 for NTSC-U. Regional price differences usually come down to print run size and regional collector demand.
