Not only did this game have that MMC-3 chip(or MMC-5) to help with some of the graphic enhancements, but more famously has a unique special sound chip to be able to sound like it does. I believe the only other game to utilize that sound chip was Mr. Gimmick. Too bad Batman:ROTJ is not very fun, it is so clunky on all versions.

Excuse me Arcus, but are you possibly the most chill speedrunner ever to have existed? I just can't fathom how absolutely rock solid and cool you're keeping yourself while playing challenging speedruns, drinking stuff and commenting on chat at the same time, all with a very comforting voice as well. Love it!

You know you are watching a top world record holding speed runner when he make a game this hard look so easy and smooth. I never beat this game like the other Batman. Not even close. Not only are you flying through the game, but keeping a cool head while reading chat. Damn legend! I would get frustrated by my little sister running into my room and asking me questions while trying to play these games. I was never one of these kids who broke their controllers, but I did cuss and use some choice words.

I don't even think I could do this if I studied the videos move for move. Even with the information here and at my finger tips I still think this is far past what I could do in the amount of time Arcus spends on these things. Maybe in a years time I might be able to mimic it. But that would be one game that I would have to focus solely upon in a years time. He does all this plus a list of other games that he has memorized move for move. That is on par with guitar playing and instruments. Pro level stuff here man.
