The Game Boy Advance version of the Catwoman movie license is an action platformer that puts you in the shoes of Patience Phillips, who transforms into Catwoman. The game follows her journey from an ordinary woman to a feline crusader.
As you navigate through 24 levels, you'll need to use your skills as Catwoman, including climbing walls and fighting bad guys. The game starts with a tutorial mission that teaches you the basics, before diving into the comic-strip style storytelling that explains Patience's transformation into the cat-lady.
The gameplay is straightforward, with an emphasis on jumping and climbing. While there are occasional battles to be fought, the overall focus is on exploration and platforming. The graphics have a stylized look, aiming for a comic-book feel that sets them apart from the more realistic 3D visuals of other versions.

Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
Based on the DC Universe storyline, this action-adventure game places players in control of Patience Philips, a shy artist who is resurrected by a mystical Egyptian cat. Empowered with feline abilities, the protagonist transforms into a supernatural avenger who navigates a thin moral line to exact revenge on the corrupt corporate executives who orchestrated her death.
Story
Introduction
Patience Philips is a shy and sensitive artist who works for Hedare Beauty, a giant cosmetics company on the verge of releasing a revolutionary anti-aging product. Tragically, her life is cut short after she stumbles across a dark corporate secret.
As her body lies washed up on a beach, an otherworldly Egyptian cat named Midnight happens upon her and brings her back to life. In a mystical twist of fate, Patience finds herself reborn as a supernatural being empowered with the agility, speed, strength, and unique senses of a cat.
Beautiful and mysterious, Catwoman vows to exact revenge on her enemies. Treading a thin line between good and bad, she is wild, dangerous, and prepared to sink her claws into anyone who dares cross her path. There's a new feline in town and the temperature is about to rise.
How to Play
Starting the Game
1. Turn OFF the power switch on your Nintendo® Game Boy® Advance. Never insert or remove a Game Pak when the power is ON.
2. Insert the Catwoman™ Game Pak into the slot on the Game Boy® Advance. To lock the Game Pak in place, press firmly.
3. Turn ON the power switch. The Legal screen appears.
4. Press the A Button to advance to the Title screen.
5. When the Title screen appears, press START to advance to the Main menu.
Playing the Game
Empowered by the extraordinary abilities of Midnight, Catwoman is now ready to sweep aside all who would stand between her and her quest for vengeance. Guide her to drag those responsible for hiding a dark corporate conspiracy into the light of justice. Her mastery of the urban jungle is about to begin....
Gems and the Reflex Bar
Scattered throughout her urban environment are shiny blue treasures that Catwoman just can't resist. They're not only pretty, they also serve a purpose - collect them to boost her Reflex Bar.
As Catwoman collects gems her Reflex Bar appears in the bottom left of the screen. As the bar increases, so does her ability to withstand hits and falls. When Catwoman sustains damage, the bar decreases. Catwoman faints if it becomes empty and she loses all of her gems.
Valuable gold gems can also be found in the city. They're harder to track down, but they boost her Reflex Bar faster than the blue gems.
Power Mode and the Reflex Jewels
Once you unlock a special Power mode at the end of a level, a Reflex Jewel appears below the Reflex Bar. From then on, landing successful attacks on opponents gradually illuminates this Jewel. When it's fully illuminated, Catwoman can fly into a dominating Power mode for a short time, enabling her to hit twice as hard.
NOTE: Unlocking successive Cat States prolongs the amount of time Power mode lasts (see Cat States on p. 14).
There are three separate Reflex Jewel levels to unlock. When Catwoman and the Jewel are fully illuminated, press the L Button + R Button to unleash her focused fury.
Cat Sense
Catwoman instinctively employs her heightened Cat Sense to forewarn her of danger or hunt unsuspecting prey. When using her Cat Sense, a green filter covers the screen and the camera reveals the spot where Catwoman's attention is drawn.
NOTE: Cat Sense is activated automatically.
Sight
Piercing the darkness as if it were daylight, Catwoman's enhanced sense of sight not only enables her to master her environment when the lights are out, it can also reveal the path to a goal that is crucial to her objectives. Her heightened sight also helps her pick out objects that she may find useful.
Scent
Catwoman's unnerring sense of smell enables her to sniff out scent trails, indicating the likely location of potential bad guys.
Sound
Most adversaries really don't know how much noise they make, which makes it much easier for Catwoman to determine where they're lurking and what they're planning - they're not even safe behind brick walls.
Cat States
As Catwoman advances along her quest, she gets tougher. When unlocked, each Cat State bestows Catwoman with a permanent increase in the damage she dishes out. Each successive Cat State also prolongs the time Power mode lasts. Collect enough gems and progress far enough to unlock two more Cat States. Catwoman begins her quest in 'Kitten' Mode:
The Three Cat States
•
Kitten Mode (already available): Power mode lasts for 10 seconds
•
Minx Mode: Power mode lasts for 15 seconds
•
Panther Mode: Power mode lasts for 20 seconds
Catwoman's Cat Sense detects the direction of potential adversaries (indicated by arrows at the edge of the screen). Green arrows indicate it's safe to move. Red arrows mean that she's at risk of moving into an adversary's line of sight, or that she's already been spotted.
If Catwoman is heard or spotted, icons appear above the heads of adversaries:
•
If there's an exclamation mark, Catwoman has been spotted. Time to run or rumble.
•
If there's a question mark above a bad guy's head, Catwoman has been heard and the adversary is searching for her.
Lasers and Security Cameras
Lasers hinder Catwoman's movement and harm her or subdue her if she touches them. Patience and cunning are the best ways to get around them.
The easiest way to combat security cameras is to stay out of their beams in the first place. Setting off a security camera alarm makes life even more difficult for Catwoman.
End of Scene Summary
When Catwoman completes a scene, a rundown of the percentage and number of gems she collected in the scene appears.
If she's performed particularly impressively and collected enough gems, a new Power Mode, Cat State, Whip, or Capoeira move is unlocked.

Tips & Maps
Wall Climb
Catwoman can scale one-story buildings with ease and hang on to walls with her claws drawn, which is useful for performing a Chimney Jump.
Chimney Jump
Catwoman can reach the tops of taller buildings by leaping up from wall to wall in locations where the walls are close enough together.
Wall Run
Catwoman can run on all fours up the back wall in a graceful arc to get over obstacles or cross gaps between ledges.
Pole Jump
Catwoman uses horizontal poles to swing out of trouble or travel in style, and can hold the R Button to perform a huge Pole-Jump by turning around the pole.
Capoeira Style
Catwoman uses fluid hand-to-hand Capoeira fighting techniques combined with her whip prowess to knock back or coerce opponents using flips, kicks, and more.
Whip Controls
Catwoman can use her whip to tether, drag, or knock objects and foes, and can grapple items like trash cans or activate switches once abilities are unlocked.
Tether Foe
Press and hold the B Button (when unlocked) to tether a foe.
Tether Object
Hold the B Button to tether an object, then release to interact with it.
Tether and Drag
After tethering a foe, tap the B Button to drag them closer (when unlocked).
Tether, Drag, and Kick
After tethering a foe, tap the B Button twice to kick them (when unlocked).
Stealth Mode
Press the L Button to crouch and remain silent and invisible in shadows, allowing Catwoman to watch patrol routes and plan her next move without detection.
Stealth Hit
Unlock this special attack to silently approach an adversary from behind and apply a stranglehold with the whip by holding the B Button when a red cat's eye icon appears.
Bullet Evasion
Keep moving to make it difficult for weapons to lock onto Catwoman, or whip the weapon out of an enemy's grasp if it locks on.
Sneak Mode
Press the L Button to crouch on all fours and become silent and invisible in shadows, enabling Catwoman to examine patrol routes and eliminate guards without detection.
Sneak Attack
Once unlocked, approach an enemy silently from behind and execute a surprise attack by pressing and holding the B button when a red cat icon appears above them.
Cat Sense
Catwoman instinctively uses her heightened senses to anticipate danger or track prey, indicated by a green filter on the screen.
Vision
Catwoman's impeccable sight allows her to navigate darkness, see important paths, and spot useful objects.
Smell
Her infallible sense of smell allows her to follow enemy trails to their location.
Hearing
Catwoman can determine enemy locations and plans by detecting the noise they make, even through walls.
Dodging Bullets
A green cursor indicates when Catwoman is targeted; she must move constantly to evade it before it turns red to avoid being shot.
Tricks and Tips
Key maneuvers include jumping further from walls, grabbing higher bars with the R and A buttons, spinning to reach distant bars, using stealth mode, moving quietly on all fours, and crouching in Track mode to navigate.
