Villain Hunt Stage 6 - Lego Batman: The Videogame (DS) (2008) Developer - TT Fusion Publisher - Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, DC Comics

In the villain hunt game mode, the player has to use a select group of heroes to track down a member of Batman's rogue gallery hiding somewhere in the level within five minutes. The player has access to Batman, Robin, Huntress, Azrael, Alfred, Commissioner Gordon, Harvey Bullock and a SWAT Officer to try and track down the location of the villain Firefly.

This level borrows the layout from the villain version of The Sewers, and shares the same puzzles and fights with police officers. Clearing the level requires reaching the prison car park arena and breaking the group of three barrels on the left side to reassemble them into a suit signal. Doing this enables Robin to gain the Magno Suit so the player to walk up a magnetised wall in the arena, and see the ledge Firefly is standing on. This ledge can reached by swapping to Alfred and using his umbrella glide ability to reach Firefly, completing the level.

Race cars, airplanes, a pile of crates: It’s the Disney Afternoon Collection! Back on a Nintendo system after it was stranded in the era of the WiiU for nearly a decade, I got excited about having access to this collection of classic Capcom titles. Naturally, I had to run through as many of these chunks of my childhood as possible with the usual knuckleheads like Morning Song, fanboymaster, BEAT,…

Upward - Team Fortress 2 (2007) Developer - Valve Publisher - Valve

Upward is a map made for the Payload game mode, and was added to the game in 2010 as part of the Engineer Update. It is set in an abandoned mining facility that was built on top of a mountain in the desert. The objective of the BLU team is push the bomb cart through the map to the fourth and final checkpoint, before the round timer runs out, while each preceding checkpoint reached gives the BLU team more time to reach their final destination. The RED team meanwhile is tasked with preventing this by contesting the payload and killing the BLU team mercenaries to stop them from pushing forward. Due to being on a mountain, the risk of falling or being pushed off a cliff is a hazard to both avoid and be used by players against the enemy.

The Sewers (Villain) - Lego Batman: The Videogame (DS) (2008) Developer - TT Fusion Publisher - Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, DC Comics

The ninth level of the villain campaign, and the fourth level of the game's second episode Power-Crazed Penguin. It borrows areas from the Hero version of the level while changing the enemies to GCPD officers, and expanding the Arkham Asylum section to replace the latter part of the swer section. The Penguin and Killer Croc travel through the sewers to free Catwoman in exchange for a diamond the Penguin needs to complete his scheme. The route through the sewers is laden with puzzles and police officers, the pair eventually rise from the sewers into an arena with a group of police officers and a blue block puzzle, to reach the jail area encountered at the end of the Hero version of the level.

The Arkham Asylum cells have a group of police officers and fight the boss, a shotgun-wielding policeman. This officer will shoot at the player until beaten, at which point the player will need break open Catwoman's cell. At the end of the level, a cutscene plays where Penguin and Killer Croc reunite with Catwoman and retrieve the diamond only to be interrupted by Batman and Robin with Croc staying behind to face them while Penguin and Catwoman make their escape to the next level, Arctic World. Beating the level in story mode unlocks the Police Woman as a playable character in Freeplay.

Mannhole - Team Fortress 2 (2007) Developer - Valve Publisher - Valve

Added in the Summer 2025 Update, Mannhole is a community-created King of the Hill map. Set in a urban environment loosely based on Manhattan, with trains running overhead, factories, warehouses and tenements lining the arena and below the surface is a network of sewer tunnels serving a flanking paths for players. In a match, two teams must fight to control a single control point and hold it for a total of three minutes in order to win the match. The map also adds rats as a new variant of animal NPC that can be found scurrying around in the sewer tunnels.

The map also has a large number of easter eggs; near the RED team's spawn there is a dumpster with a pair of heterochromatic pink and yellow eyes looking out from under the lid, referencing the Deltarune character Spamton.

In the sewers there is a rat playing a toy xylophone for a rodent audience referencing Neil banging out the tunes, a photo of a rat in the middle of a pentagram, and a giant rat rocking out in front of a bandcamp address for the mapmaker's band.

The Sewers (Hero) - Lego Batman: The Videogame (DS) (2008) Developer - TT Fusion Publisher - Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, DC Comics

The ninth level of the hero campaign, and the fourth level of the game's second episode Power-Crazed Penguin. It is a loose adaptation of the main game's level, Under the City, but has many differences in mechanics, collectables and layout. Batman and Robin must face off against Penguin Goons and Bodyguards, while making use of the Demolition Suit and the DS exclusive Bio Suit to solve puzzles and clear the level hazards.

The level ends with Batman and Robin rising from the sewers to reach Arkham Asylum and fight the boss, Killer Croc. Croc attacks like a normal enemy but whenever he takes enough damage he frees some goons who must be defeated to lure him back into the arena. This happens three times, releasing Two-Face Goons, then Penguin Goons, and finally Joker Goons, and once all of them have been beaten, Killer Croc can be apprehended. At the end of the level, a cutscene plays where Killer Croc tells Batman and Robin where the Penguin is hiding leading into the next level, Arctic World, and the game unlocks Killer Croc as a playable character in Freeplay.
