Sega's 1993 Sega CD version of Spider-Man vs. The Kingpin is a substantial rework of the Genesis cartridge rather than a simple upgrade. Kingpin's scheme pins a bomb plot on Spider-Man and turns the city against him, and instead of a fixed sequence of stages, the player now picks the next location or villain to face from a city map, including places like a local television station. Two new levels, new bosses and extra combat moves were added, and Spider-Man moves and climbs faster than on Genesis.
The CD format is used for redrawn graphics, voiced animated cutscenes, and a soundtrack by Spencer Nilsen with the rock band Mr. Big. A password system saves progress, and collectible reproductions of famous Spider-Man comic covers are hidden through the game. Some Genesis features were dropped, including resting in Peter Parker's apartment and taking photos of enemies to earn money for web fluid. Fans of the cartridge tend to see this as the most complete version.
Tips for The Amazing Spider-Man vs. The Kingpin
Use the map to choose easier villains first, building familiarity with Spider-Man's moves before the tougher bosses.
Write down passwords after each major fight, since there is no other way to save progress.
Use wall-crawling to get above enemies and drop in from a safe angle rather than walking straight into them.
