Aero The Acro-Bat: Rascal Rival Revenge

High-flying Aero-Bat-ic Action!

Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, please direct your attention to the center ring! The star of the show - Aero The Acrobat - is about to make his entrance and dazzle you with his amazing feats of bravery. Today only, we have a special show for you. The evil Edga Ektor, a rich, eccentric industrialist bent on revenge, has sabotaged the World of Amusement and Fun Park. And it's up to Aero to save the day!


I avoided buying it here. I'd see the Aero the Acrobat games in magazines and get excited... But I played Aero the Acrobat 2... It was a nauseating experience, and I never liked the game because of its strange art style and ugly level design. From then on, I avoided everything related to those games.

Nostalgia works, a friend just bought the Doom SNES cartridge and it's beautiful and plays insanely well. Plus I guess it takes a while to convince IP owners to let them cook something, this one is obviously dead.

45 levels? I don't think I ever went past the second or third level in the first game.
Very early there's a section where you have to use a cannon to blast Aero up to a platform and there's a ceiling with spikes or something next to the platform. And it's beyond the edge of the screen, so you can't know that in advance. I have very little tolerance for shit like that these days, and it's not like the game does anything special anyway.

Never released Mega Drive versions?

Im pretty sure these games had Mega Drive releases.There seem to be plenty of them available online.

No, no, awesome possum or Mohawk and headphone jack would be truly the bottom of the barrel or maybe the rise of the robots collection (especially with the bonus bad cdi port)
Aero the acrobat games are ok
Though always baffling when the saturns hugely under appreciated library goes ignores, just 2d games like astal, clockwork knight 1 2, legend of oasis and shinobi legions deserve re-releases 1000x more than some of the mediocre stuff lgr does
