The Adventures of Batman & Robin (SNES) - 100% Longplay Walkthrough - Hard Difficulty - No Continues
2The Adventures of Batman & Robin released in 1994 for the Super NES was developed and published by Konami.
Although slightly marred by poor dialogue, it is a great game and plays as an action-adventure platformer for the most part.
This video walkthrough will serve you as a guide towards achieving 100% completion on Hard difficulty using No Continues and Save States. Completion of the game on Hard difficulty rewards the player with a special ending.
S T O R Y:
Each level is loosely based on an episode of the critically-acclaimed animated series from the early 1990s but the overall story for this game is a pretty generic one - inmates have escaped from Arkham Asylum and have vowed vengeance upon Gotham City. In response to this crisis, Commissioner Gordon has sent out the Bat-Signal to enlist the help of Batman to bring the situation under control.
The story of the game takes place over the course of a few days.
The SNES version has 8 Stages.

S T R A T E G Y A N D T I P S:
This game is a tough one to beat and can get pretty intense at times. However, while creating this walkthrough, we came across the following strategies that we think will be helpful for anyone interested in playing it.
1. Batarangs are very handy when fighting bosses so always equip them before going into a boss fight.
2. Batarangs are also a good way to disarm enemies with Tommy Guns and Pistols. We would strongly suggest you have them equipped for the majority of the levels where you need to fight enemies. Stars are good for this too but they’re obviously limited.
3. Playing this game on Hard means you cannot use Passwords to resume your progress if you run out of Lives and Continues. Additionally, you gain an extra life only when you score 50,000 points – you do this only once in the game on Riddle Me This… (Stage 7) unless you farm points in Fowl Play (Stage 3). Farming points this way will take you a lot of time though.
As a result, we recommend you preserve your Lives (or Rests) until at least Riddle Me This… (Stage 7) by not losing any and use the “Return to Batcave” trick if you do.
4. “Return to Batcave” trick
You can restart the stage if you mess up by pressing the Start button and choosing “Return to Batcave”. This will essentially give you a do-over and replenish your lives to the number you started the stage with.
Take advantage of this option as much as you need.
5. Riddle Me This…
The end of Riddle Me This… (Stage 7) is the toughest section in the game and can be a frustrating one to figure out, especially the disappearing floor tiles/platforms.
However, if you watch the end section in our walkthrough carefully, you’ll notice that there’s a pattern to the way they disappear and a trick to manoeuvre them (i.e., jump at the middle of two floor tiles/platforms). It’s all pretty clear in the video.
6. Put this video walkthrough to good use.
Although each player’s approach to beating this game will be unique, you can use our walkthrough to get a good idea of how to beat all the stage bosses and traverse through the frustratingly tricky sections. We have bookmarked the start of each stage as Chapters to make this easier for you to do.
We have created this walkthrough without using any Continues/Save States. We have used the aforementioned “Return to Batcave” option though. However, to create a pleasant and seamless viewing experience, we have edited those uses out.
We have lost 2 lives on the last fight in Riddle Me This… and therefore ended the game with 2 out of a maximum of 4 lives.
