Aero the Acro-Bat is a SNES and Sega Genesis game released by Sunsoft in October 1993. It was created by David Siller (of Maximo: Ghosts to Glory fame) and developed by the now defunct Iguana Entertainment.
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). Metro 3D was later purchased by Data Design Interactive, and the Aero the Acro-Bat rights were picked up by Zoo Digital who has them today.
[edit] Story
Inspired in part by the "mascots with attitude" trend that was common following the introduction of Sonic the Hedgehog, it featured 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, but wants it shut down forever. Aero must also deal with his sidekick, Zero the Kamikaze Squirrel.
