You can tell the developers took more than a couple of trips down to Barnum & Bailey's while working on this one, took good notes and tossed in as many iconic circus elements as possible to make the game's three-ring big top feel authentic. And the whimsical environment of the circus supports the action every step of the way, offering a wealth of different objects and obstacles to interact with - there are hoops to jump through for bonus points, trampolines to bounce around on and cannons to launch Aero up into the air. Sometimes it's just beating a boss.Ī+unicycle's+just+one+of+the+goofy+circus+staples+that+Aero+encounters+on+his+adventure. Sometimes it's tracking down a key item, or rescuing Aero's girlfriend Aeriel. Sometimes it's finding and hopping on a set of specific platforms. Instead, at the opening of each stage, you're given an objective.

They're not all about just getting from the start to the goal. The strength of the design was in its variety, and that's the quality that most holds up today in Aero's new Virtual Console re-release - each level is different.

A giant circus is what it was - Aero was a high-flying trapeze artist (who also happened to be a bat) and he'd been given the task of saving the day when the greatest show on earth was threatened with being shut down. It actually wasn't a bad initial effort - the theme was inventive, the gameplay supported it and the character made sense in the world he inhabited. Originally released for the SNES and Genesis systems back in 1993, Aero the Acrobat was Sunsoft's first attempt to catch Sonic's lightning in a bottle. SEGA's high-speed hedgehog sped his way to fast success in the early '90s and kicked off a craze - pretty soon, it seemed, every other game studio had to have their own animal with attitude. Falling into one of these holes restarts the level.Everybody had to have a Sonic.
