Actual Entry (non editable)
Aero the Acro-Bat (c) 1993 SUNSOFT [Sun Corp. of America]. Aero the Acro-Bat introduced players to the high-flying circus performer. Tasked with protecting the world of the circus from the demented ex-clown Edgar Ektor and his sidekick Zero the Kamikaze Squirrel, Aero utilizes his acrobatic skills to navigate treacherous stages and defeat his foes. Description from the Back cover: Step right up to the acro-batiest show on earth! The madman industrialist Edgar Ektor has siezed control of the World of Amusement. He and a deranged cast of fairground freaks threaten the circus. The only hope for survival is the high-flying, death-defying Aero the Acro-Bat! Spine-tingling terror unfolds as Aero tackles Ektor's wicked henchmen. Bungee jump into a battle with evil! Skydive in mode 7 toward the danger below. Hang on for the ride of your life as you rise and plunge on a roaring roller coaster! Tiptoe across a terrifying tightrope! Then power drill and twist Aero right through every sinister circus enemy imaginable. And all the while, the show must go on! - TECHNICAL - GAME ID: SNS-XB-USA - TRIVIA - The Super Famicom version was presented at the Famicom Spaceworld' 93 in August 1993 in Japan but was never released in Japan. It was released in October 1993 in USA. Two months after the Genesis version; Aero the "Acro-Bat [Model T-15056]". The Mascot Boom: Released at the height of the 16-bit "mascot platformer" trend, Aero the Acro-Bat was Sunsoft’s attempt to create a signature character that could compete with the likes of Sonic or Mario. Its success spurred a short-lived franchise, including the aforementioned sequel and the Zero the Kamikaze Squirrel spin-off. Unique Control Scheme: The game is defined by its "drill" move, which allows Aero to strike enemies from various angles. Mastering the jump-and-drill technique was essential, as it served as both a primary offensive move and a mobility tool for reaching high platforms or traversing long gaps. Atmospheric Diversity: Unlike many platformers that stuck to a single theme (e.g., green hills or industrial zones), Aero features highly distinct environments—ranging from the Funpark to the Museum—that utilize a wide color palette to create a surreal, slightly offbeat atmosphere that was quintessential early-90s game design. Genesis differences: The SNES version used the Aero title song as level 1-1, but the Genesis version used the Saber Dance song as level 1-1 instead (which it shares with level 2-2). The SNES version also featured a level intro song which the Genesis version lacks entirely. However, the Genesis version features some music that the SNES version lacks, such as the level 4-3 theme. - TIPS AND TRICKS - Level select: ------------- Press Down, A, Down, Y, Down, A, Down, Y on the options screen.
