Published by Sunsoft in 1991, Batman: Return of the Joker brings the dark, gadget-heavy action of the NES classic to the Sega Genesis. As a side-scrolling action platformer, it swaps Batman’s traditional fisticuffs for a wrist-mounted projectile shooter, demanding both precise platforming and careful ranged combat against Gotham’s most dangerous villains.
How to play
Navigate through levels, defeat enemies with your ranged gadgets, and tackle boss fights to stop the Joker. The Genesis port includes a dedicated kick button for close encounters.

Tips
- Take your time during combat. Enemies in the Genesis port take more hits than their 8-bit counterparts, so prioritize dodging incoming fire over rushing forward.
- Use the C button to execute a short-range kick, which is crucial when enemies breach your projectile range.
- Commit fully to your jump arcs. The hit detection and momentum can be strict near platform edges, making hesitation fatal.
