Batman: The Video Game (Game Boy) Pacifist Run - Stage 4 & Ending

After the two Batwing Stages, here comes the last serie of stages for this game, where we get to fight the Joker himself at the end. However, there are a few levels to go through, and good lord is the 2nd stage difficult. I'll get to that shortly...

Stage 4-1 : Not a particularly difficult level if one goes in a slow pace. The beginning and end of the level are quite tricky. I got numerous failures due to me trying to speedrun through the level. Failed attempts : 10

Stage 4-2 : The most difficult level in the whole game in a pacifist run by a gigantic margin. Auto-scrolling + pixel perfect placement when jumping between turrets means that this will be the only stage in this run where taking damage was mandatory for me to finish this level. Heck, even without the "no-damage" restriction, the level stays very difficult, due to the turret's placements and the necessity to take the 2 health restore bonuses to actually complete the level. Failed Attempts (while taking damage) : 21

Stage 4-B (Vs. Joker) : Remember the first boss fight with Jack Napier in Stage 1-B ? It's the same thing, except the Joker will have two new attacks coming in the form of tri-shots. Oh, and he has a hat now. Otherwise, it is the same kind of battle. At some point, the Joker is going to spam his tri-shots, so be wary of your jumping timing. Gotta appreciate the ending in good ol' Game Boy 8-bit sound. Failed Attempts : 8

Overall difficulty rating : 9/10 (all thanks to that second-to-last stage)
