Batman: The Caped Crusader



Level 1 - The Penguin: A Bird in the Hand

You start in a computer room which message in the upper left corner
says, "insert disk".  Go left to collect the false nose.  (The
false nose can be used at any time.  It turns you pink and allows
you to be ignored by enemies.  It also gives you 2 percentage
points.)  Go down the next door and go left to the next room and
collect the boomerang.  Equip it and you will receive 4 percentage
points.  Go right two screens to get the lock pick.  Go right two
more screens to get the hand grenade.  Go left, up, left to get
the control disk.  Go up and get the set of tools in the "4 broken
machines..." room.  Go down, left to return the computer room.
 Open your  menu screen and try to use the control disk.  Nothing
will happen.  Return to the game and you will get a new message
that says, "BATCOMPUTER OUT OF ORDER!"  Use the set of tools, and
the message will now be, "Computer operational."  Finally, use the
control disk to get the message, "The GAMES people play..."  You
get a percentage point for repairing the computer and a percentage
point for using the disk.

Time to leave the Batcave.  Go right, up, up and you will reach
the outside world where villians will fight you.  It's really hard
to fight, so it's best to spend your time stunning your
enemies and moving to the next screen.  If you go right 3
screens, you will run into the door key.  After that, five
more screens to your left is a building that has a climbable wall.
 You have to get Batman to face right as you hold down and right to
get him to start climbing, then just hold up till you reach the top.

Once you reach the roof, move right two screens and you will find
some lemonade.  An item like this can restore your energy.  Keep
moving right by two screens to find a flashlight.  Go
back left four screens and descend the wall.

Go left two more screens and climb the wall in the middle of the
screen.  On the top of the roof, go left four screens, ignoring
the door.  On the fourth screen is the rope, which you will need
soon.  Go back right two screens.  You should have a message
that says, "Take your PICK."  Use your lock pick on the door
and enter.  You will receive 7 percentage points, brining
your total up to 13.

Inside this building, you will find many closed doors.  To open
them, use the door key on each of them.  You will get 8 points
for the first time you do this, although none of these
doors will appear to open.  Anyway, use the door key and
go up, right, up, right, right to get the lift key.  Return left, left,
down and you will be in a large, two level room with a lift.

 Stand on the lift and use the lift key.  You will receive 6
percenatage points and be on the lower level now.  Go up, right,
right, down, left, down, left and get the toast (restoring item) and a dart.
 Go right four screens and get the games disk.
 Go up, left, up, left and reach the "two halves" room.  Take the
egg (restoration item), but you made need to use one of your
other restoration items at this point.  Use the rope and you will get
12 percentage points.  Take the rope up and you will
be in a room with the magenet and a dart board in the background.
 Stand in front of the dartboard and use the dart.  You
will get a passcard and 18 percentage points, bringing your total
up to 57%.  If you use the magnet, you can get an additional
9 percentage points.  Leave using the rope from the right side.
Now you must leave this place.  The fastest route is right,
down, right, down, left, left, left, up, right, up, left, left,
down, use the lift key, left, down, down.

Outside, go left two screens and climb down.  Go right one
screen to get candy (restoration item) and right again to get
the trainies.  These shoes can speed you up temporarily
and earn you an additional 2 percentage points.  Now it's time to
go left eight screens back to the "Don't PASS door" screen.
 Enter the door with the passcard.  You will get 9 more percentage
points and will be in a dark room.  Use the flashlight and you will be
able to see and get 9 more percentage points.  Go
left two screens and get the video tape.  Go right, right, up, right,
use the door key to go up, left, left.   In front of
the television, use the video tape to get a single percentage
point.  Go left, up, left, up to find a cup cake (restoration item).
 Go right.  (If you go down, right, down from here, you
can pick up the knife, but I haven't found a use for it.  Neither
have I found a use for the grendade.  I think they
are red herrings meant to clutter your inventory.)  Go right, right,
down, left, down, right, right, up, right, up, right to
get a banana (your last chance for a restoration item.)  Go left,
down, right, and you'll be in the "9 steps to hell" room.
 You're almost done.  Up, left, up, will get you the trumpet.  This
trumpet does nothing but plays the 60s Batman theme briefly.
 To your right is the final room, with the message, "The big
turn off".  Use the games disk to complete the level and
get 10 final percentage points.

Your final score should be 99%.  Unfortnately, I'm not sure
how to get the last 1 percent.  The knife and grenade might
have a use, but I have no idea where.







:Level 2 - The Joker: A Fete Worst Then Death

Go right, right, down, right to get the light bulb.  Go left
four screens and you will be in a dark room.  Use the light
bulb to get 9 percentage points, a gask mask, and a flash
light.  Go right, up, right, right, up and get the batarang.
Equip it for 6 percentage points.  Descend to ladder into the
sewer.

Quickly reach the bottom and put the gas mask.  You will keep
your energy from falling so quickly and net an additional 15
percentage points.  Take the ears.  The ears will give you a
clue to Robin's location and give you an additional 4 percentage
points.  Go right, down, and use the flashlight.  You will get 7
percentage points for this.  Go left, down, left to get
the toilet roll.  Go right, right, right, up to get a fish (a
restoration item that you can't use yet.)  Go down, right, up,
up, left, climb down, and get the shades.  Go left, left, down,
left to get the false teeth.  If you use these,
you can use any restoration item you find.  You also get four percentage
points.  Your total should be 45 at this point.

Go right, down, right, up, right, down, right, right, up to
get a cola (restoration item).  Go right, up, left and climb
out of the sewers.  You should now be at the "Ghost in the house" screen.
 Go right, down, left, to get the wire cutters.
 With these, you can get rid of all 12 bombs in the sewer.  First,
go down, right, up to reach some circus tents and the clogs.
 This screen should have a message that says, "Roll up!  Roll
up!"  The clogs are a worthless item that actually makes you slower
for a limited time and are worth no percentage points,
so leave them alone.

Go left, up, up to get a coconut (restoration item.)  There's
nothing to the left, so go back by going down, down, right,
and now go right, right, right, up to get the money.  Go down, left,
left, up, up, left and you will see a slot machine.  You
can make it work by using the money (3 percentage points).  Keep
doing this several times until you get three of a kind.  You
will be rewarded with the joker card.

Leave by going right, down, down.   Now go right, right,
right, right to a tent with a clown face on it.  Enter it.
Use the sunglasses and earn another 5 percentage points.
Go left, climb up the rope, go right, up, up, left, left and
you should find a camera.  You can use it to snap a picture
of a few foes and earn 4 percentage points.  Head right, down,
left and use the Joker Card.  This will allow you to go
through certain previously locked doors and you should
now gain 8 percentage points.  You should now have 65%.

Go down, left to a screen with a caption that says,
"Bust!"  Climb down.  (If you go right at this point, you
will find a door that will lead you to a harmonica and
pint of milk.  The milk is located at right, up, right,
up, and the harmonica is located at down, right after
the pint of milk room.  Leave the way you came.)   Go
up.  (If you go left, down, you will come across an
elephant.  Since I have no idea what it's used for,
let's skip it.)  Go up, climb up, go down, left.  (At this
point, you can go down, left, left for a restorative item,
in this case a carrot.)  Go left, up, left, down, climb
down, and get off the rope at this floor.  Go up, right,
down ("Dealer's Call" caption), down, left, down, and you
will be outside of another clown face on a tent.

Head right, right, right for a chicken leg which can
restore your health.  Head left, left and climb up.  Go
left, grab the nail and hammer and use it for 7
percentage points.  It doesn't appear to do anything,
but I believe it helps you rescue Robin.  Climb up
and you will find a dagger.  I don't think this item does
anything.  To your left is Robin.  Believe it or not,
you can't save him right now, nor do you have to be on
this screen to save him.  Head right, climb down, left,
climb down, left, and enter the clown face.  Right, up,
up, left, down, climb down to head back into the sewer.

Now it's time to disarm all the bombs.  Remember
those?  Go up, right and you'll reach the first bomb.
Use the wire cutters to remove this bomb and get 10
percentage points.  Head right and disarm a second bomb.
 Go right and disarm the third bomb.  Go right, climb up,
go right, down, down, left, up and disarm this fourth
bomb.  Go down, left and you'll find the "Confused?"
caption.  Disarm the bomb here.  Five down, five to go.
   Go left, up, right, up, left, down, left to disarm bomb
number six.  Go up to find bomb number seven.  There
are three more bombs to go, and you need to backtrack a
bit.  Go down, left, up, right, down, left, down, right,
right, right, up, up, left, climb down, left, left, down,
down, right, up, right, down to reach the eight bomb.
Phew!  Go right, up and disarm bomb number nine.  Finally,
go down, right, up, right, up, left to reach the final
bomb.  This level is almost done.

Climb up and you'll be back at the "Ghosts on the
haunt" screen.  You're remaining goal is to find The
Joker.   The best thing to do is go right, down, left,
down, right, up and you will be back in front of the
circus.  Joker can show up on any screen here, so I
can't give you any more directions.  You need to fight
The Joker until he drops a rope item.  The best way to fight
him is to get him into a corner and repeatedly
kick upwards, which will knock Joker back.  Joker will
walk towards you again and meet your foot several more
times until he drops the rope.  Grab the rope, use it,
and you will rescue Robin and complete the mission with
93%.  I have no idea how to get the remaining 7 percent.
