Aero the Acro-Bat (1993)
Embark on an exhilarating 2D platforming adventure with Aero the Acro-Bat, a charismatic red anthropomorphic bat created by David Siller. Developed by Iguana Entertainment and published by Sunsoft, this game originally launched on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) and Sega Genesis, captivating players with its vibrant circus-themed worlds.
In 2002, a version for the Game Boy Advance was released by Metro 3D, featuring battery-backed save functionality—a first for the series—with regional titles including Aero The Acro-Bat – Rascal Rival Revenge in Europe and Acrobat Kid in Japan. The SNES version was also re-released on the Wii Virtual Console in 2010, making this classic accessible to a new generation of players.
The story follows Aero as he battles the villainous Edgar Ektor, a spoiled heir turned evil industrialist after a childhood prank gone wrong. With help from Zero the Kamikaze Squirrel and the Psycho Circus gang, Aero must rescue kidnapped circus performers—including his girlfriend Aeriel—and thwart Edgar's sinister plans to sabotage the amusement park.
Navigate through four colorful worlds, each with five challenging levels filled with hidden hazards like deadly spikes and tricky obstacles. Gameplay involves completing specific tasks—such as passing through hoops, activating disappearing platforms, and riding roller coasters—to uncover the exit warp and progress. Aero's attack options include shooting limited stars or executing a powerful aerial diagonal drill attack, adding strategic depth to enemy encounters.
Get ready for a lively, action-packed ride full of daring stunts, whimsical environments, and heroic gameplay that captures the thrill of the circus!
