The Story Behind Aero the Acro-Bat
The final concept was designed by David's son Justin Siller, who was inspired by mixed themes from the 70s and 80s. Ratalaika Games re-released Aero the Acro-Bat for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S on August 2, 2024. Aero the Acro-Bat was made Sunsoft's new mascot.
By summer 2002, Siller had to relocate to Texas. The concept included a mission objective feature, which was not added in the original release, but it was implemented and modified in the Game Boy Advance version. By late 1993, Sunsoft was giving away free copies of the Super NES or Genesis version of the game to the first 100 people that sent them a 3x5 postcard to their address.
How Aero the Acro-Bat Plays
A spoiled, rich kid named Edgar Ektor was a regular attendant at The World of Amusement Circus and Funpark, but was banned after a failed prank almost killed a lion. Aero the Acro-Bat is the circus' greatest star and the only hope for rescuing the performers (including his girlfriend Aeriel) and stopping Edgar's schemes. Those tasks include passing through hoops, stepping on platforms until they disappear, riding roller coasters, etc.
Aided by Zero the Kamikaze Squirrel and his Psycho Circus gang, Edgar sabotages the funpark and kidnaps all the circus performers. There are four worlds with five levels in each one, and the levels are large, many of them containing awkwardly positioned spikes that kill instantly. The levels are played in typical 2D platforming style.
Why Players Still Load It Up
In all versions of the game, Aero the Acro-Bat received mixed reviews from critics. Aero the Acro-Bat, a red anthropomorphic bat, was created by David Siller. Electronic Gaming Monthly gave the Super NES version a score of 8.3 out of 10 and the Genesis version 7.6 out of 10.
Conversely, Digital Press gave the game only 3 out of 10. The Super NES version of the game was released on the Wii's Virtual Console in the PAL region and North America in July 2010. 20 years later, Edgar has become a powerful and evil industrialist.
