Mega Drive Longplay [476] Aero the Acro-Bat

Inspired in part by the "mascots with attitude" trend that was common following the introduction of Sonic the Hedgehog, the game features a red bat named Aero, who works and lives in a circus. He must defend the circus from an evil ex-clown called Edgar Ektor, who used to work in the same circus and wants it shut down forever. Aero must also deal with the sidekick Zero the Kamikaze Squirrel (who later had his own game).

Aero the Acro-Bat (also known as Aero the Acro-Bat: Rascal Rival Revenge on GBA) is a Mega Drive/Genesis and Super Nintendo game created by David Siller, developed by the now defunct Iguana Entertainment, and published by Sunsoft on October 1993.

The levels are played in typical 2D platforming, but in order to clear levels, the player must accomplish certain tasks so that the exit warp can be revealed. Those tasks include passing through hoops, stepping on platforms until they disappear, riding roller coasters, etc. There are 4 worlds with 5 levels in each one, and the levels are large, many of them containing awkwardly positioned spikes that kill instantly.

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.

During the 16-bit era, Aero had a fair share of fame. Sunsoft used him as a mascot during the 16-bit console days. After the 16-bit decline, he disappeared and was forgotten until 2002, when Metro 3D decided to port this game for the Game Boy Advance, with a battery back-up (which the original versions lacked).

I achieve perfect round condition on every round. This might or might not mean that I find all items, since 1-Ups and hit point pick-ups do not count towards this condition.
