tbh unless you're interested in the speedrun they seem generally pretty bad especially when you have the console games to compare against. They were surely nice back in the day (and admittedly i'm saying this having only played Lego Star Wars 2 on DS, which is hopefully uniquely terrible) but nowadays it's a curiosity at best.
Hey man this video is great, but if I could make a recommendation for future videos you might wanna adjust the audio levels of the background music a bit. Makes it hard to hear your voice at points, even if the songs are all fitting.
Oh my God this video was perfect! And it also came out at the perfect time! I scavenged the internet but couldn’t find a comprehensive list of what all the characters in LBMDS do, so I was going to play the game at some point to find out Thank you for saving my time
watched this yesterday love this vid. i re100% lego batman ds at least once a year, def one of my favorite ds games i started watching lego batman ds speedruns and im so amazed how fast someone can beat the game
The DS versions of Lego Batman 1 and 2, Indiana Jones 1 and 2, Lego Star Wars TCS, Lego Chima, Lego Harry Potter 1-4 and 5-7 and Lego Star Wars 3 were all my first experiences playing any of these games. They shaped and defined a huge part of my childhood. Now that I'm much older (and have money), I've been able to play the definitive versions of each game, and while they're all great, I vastly prefer the DS versions for the sake of nostalgia.
@@Phoenix-lq9bm that's how I first played them as well - even when I was pretty young I always preferred these versions so just stuck with them when trying out speedrunning, goated games tbh
Its a shame that this game has such an incredible roster, while half of the console versions roster is made up of police guys… And the abiltys are so much better too, Consol Scarecrow doesmt even have Toxin immunity.
The Scarecrow in the console version doesn't have toxic immunity because in the level "The Joker's Masterpiece" there are certain puzzles that would be pointless if both characters had immunity. Also it wouldn't make sense anyway because the fear toxin that the Scarecrow uses is not the same as the toxic gas and waste.
@@SeriousRyno I know, but tbh you could create puzzles where you combine toxin immunity with mind control and or the buzzer, or just leave toxin immunity out of this level. A surprise for the commissioner also has no puzzles with that ability. And I’m saying scarecrow should be immune because he usually has a gas mask integrated into his costume and that should be more than enough reason when Two Face can bath in the toxic waste although he only got acid thrown to his face
@@SeriousRyno Nah you‘re right with what you said, they never gave a sub villain the same ability as the main villain in this game, only when you dont play as them (Man Bat and Penguin both glide). Maybe the best thing would have been, if they gave us the Mad Hatter level in the villains campaign and only made the vehicle level with scarecrow.
@@GreenNinj4 Another funny side effect of The Joker's Masterpiece is at the beginning of the level both characters fall through the glass at the top and The Joker lands flat on his back and The Scarecrow lands flat on his front. That in itself doesn't matter but both characters now have the really bad non double jump where if you press A after jumping both characters will fall flat and be stunned for a second before getting back up. I believe they are the only characters in the game that do this and it was all to make them not land on their feet at the start of the level.
And with this video I discovered that Lego Batman for DS has much more characters and new abilites for them than the console one, i mean, why Harley Quinn doesn't have her hammer in the console version
Glad you enjoyed! Could be a decent idea for the future but a lot of other DS LEGO games are a bit less interesting - I do have exclusively talking about the best character in the complete saga ds tho
Its true, only you care about this. I've never thought to myself that i wanted to see The LEGO Batman DS Character Tier List but here we are. I wanna see more things only you care about. subbed. Edit: Holy shit, speedrun tactics too? I didnt evven know this game had a speedrunning scene
Really good, if I had to say anything is that maybe breaking ties based on character design might help (but at the same time, it'd probably just be needless padding) Lego Batman DS is underrated ^_^
@@Hi_Just_Fred unfortunately most of the other DS Lego games have a lot less to talk about, I have made a standalone video about the best character in the complete saga ds tho
@@Shemcat Ah, I see. I never owned it but all of the extra characters it has almost made it so cool to me. Surprisingly both the DS and 3DS versions seem to be almost the exact same game aside from the graphics, I wonder if the speedrun tech is any different between those two versions?
Ah good catch - they do kill in two shots rather than four so should be slightly higher, only a placement or two above tho so it's not too significant thankfully
@@tfordham13 whoops, I'll keep that in mind for next time then, I probably mispronounced a few things just because I don't know too much about batman itself haha
That aside, awesome video. I find it very amusing that in this game, Poison Ivy and Mr. Freeze are relatively low tiers while Scarecrow and Two Face are top tiers.

mad hatters walk cycle with the song is perfect someone needs to make of vid of madhatter running to the song
Yeah especially if you know where it comes from
it’s 6 AM i haven’t slept and I need to be at work in 3 hours. I’ve never played this game but I feel the need to watch this list
I have never played a DS Lego game, I don't know what I'm doing here, but I enjoyed my stay pretty much!

This is the only version of Lego Batman I've actually played, the nostalgia is extreme
I played the DS game so much as a kid and always thought it was cool it had a few exclusive characters to the console version. Awesome video dude!
same
I didn’t know other people cared about this game I thought it was just me
this is the first game i ever 100%'d i never thought someone would actually make a video on it haha

15:04 Crane (and only him, not Scarecrow) can also walk above lines. For some reason it's not shown in his abilities.
@@DominatorLegend wait omg you're right, I had no idea about that haha, probably only moves him above scarecrow but still very interesting
This was the first LEGO game I ever played and I still play it today all these years later

"Race Al Ghul"
That's a new one.

My only question is how they managed to get *Victor Zsasz* in a children's LEGO game.
@@fangworl5170 they even included a whole lore section for him, talking about how each of his scars came after murdering people 💀
