5C'mon, Batman, use your brains! Just tell The Riddler that Kings can only move one square at a time-- that'll mess him up.

The Adventures of Batman & Robin is a 1994 and 1995 video game based on the popular DC Comics characters Batman and Robin and specifically the critically acclaimed animated cartoon Batman: The Animated Series (which had been renamed The Adventures of Batman and Robin for its second season at the time of the game's production). There are several releases of the video game for the different consoles in the market at the time. The Genesis/Mega Drive, Game Gear, and Sega CD versions were published by Sega while the Super NES one was published by Konami.
The SNES version is developed and published by Konami. Each level consists of an episode that is loosely based on those from the animated series, taking Batman to an amusement park and other places where supercriminals do their work.
The soundtrack was written by Konami Kukeiha Club members Kazuhiko Uehara, Harumi Ueko, Jun Funahashi, Masanari Iwata, Masahiko Kimura, Kayo Fujitani, and Masahiro Ikariko.
Most of the major villains from the animated series appear. The following major villains appear in the game as bosses (each with their own level):
The Joker
Poison Ivy
The Penguin
Catwoman
Two-Face
The Scarecrow
The Riddler
Clayface
Man-Bat
In addition to the above villains the only other major villain from the series to appear is Harley Quinn. However her two very brief appearances are cameos at best as she only has a couple of lines of dialogue.
In addition to Robin several other supporting characters have minor cameos:
Alfred Pennyworth
Summer Gleeson
Commissioner Gordon
Barbara Gordon
For the most part, it's an action-adventure platformer in which the player controls Batman, and follows him to the end of each stage, where a villain is set to appear.
Some of the more common features in the game is the possibility to equip with different gadgets, such as bombs and x-ray lenses. The gadgets are in some cases essential to complete some stages. The player can return to the Batcave in order to re-equip the gadgets and restart a stage with all the lives accumulated up to that point (in case the player had lost lives).
The game features passwords, which leaves the player in the last played stage. The passwords also take count of the number of lives remaining and the continues used. Passwords cannot be used in hard difficulty, which means that the game must be completed from the beginning. Completion of the hard mode rewards the player with a special ending.
Reviewing the Super NES version, GamePro praised the game's often brain-teasing challenges, strong graphics and sound effects, and "eerie atmosphere". Though they criticized the fact that Robin appears only in cutscenes, the "vapid" dialogue, and the poor graphics and controls of the Batmobile stages, they concluded "The tame fighting and intricate challenges in The Adventures of Batman and Robin should please thoughtful action/adventure fans. But its beautiful graphics and supernatural sounds will impress anyone." Nintendo Power also criticised the game for not giving Robin a more active role (although the game was actually under development before the series was retitled between seasons).
