What is pirate cart?
It's a game where you guide a pirate pushing a shopping cart to sunken treasure, while avoiding sharks and skeletons.

No, these guys are messing with the newb. Not all foreign carts are pirate carts.

A pirate cart is an unofficially released game.

Indeed, that is super fake bootleg pirate-tastic. Poorly photoshopped mess of an image on the sticker, western shaped cart shell, but has the Japanese notch on the left side. I'm guessing it's a hack of the first game, or some other game with the FD sprites hacked into it like all of the Sonic/Mario/Tiny Toons mashups.

yeah, you can try. But not everyone is a pirate collector. Some will want it for collecting purposes. There are some pirate stuff out there worth some money.

But yours sadly not.

It's a bootleg. Might be a rare boot, but rather worthless in the grand scheme of things. GEN boots are the least valuable of all boots, maybe $15-20.

Adventures of Batman and Robin is a $5-8 game and "rarer" than Batman Returns, but not rare in the sense of being rare.

Use google for some of this stuff.
