People mostly talk about the platform bits because the much more successful and widely-known version is the original cartridge release and is 100% platforming; the CD version is essentially a port with driving sections stuck in between the stages.
The Adventures of Batman & Robin CD game is by the same team and is 100% driving stages with cutscenes that were animated and voiced by the studio that did the TV show. It's a great technical showpiece but I don't think it's much fun.
People should just see the platform bits as a bonus and nothing more . You can play the driving game on its own and the driving game alone as more tracks and more stages that most standalone driving games on the MD what with 5 levels each with 6 stages to beat
Adv Of Batman &Robin isn't as smooth or as fast there far less parallax scrolling. Technically is doing more (and maybe too much) but its doesn't look as good and doesn't play as good either. John O'Brien was the master of the ASIC chip inside the Mega CD
