Aero the Acro-Bat is a 1993 video game developed by Iguana Entertainment[8] and published by Sunsoft. It was released for both the Super Nintendo Entertainment System and Sega Genesis. Aero the Acro-Bat, a red anthropomorphic bat, was created by David Siller.[9] In 2002, Metro 3D released a version of the game for the Game Boy Advance, with a battery back-up (which the original versions lacked).[8] The GBA version was titled Aero The Acro-Bat - Rascal Rival Revenge in Europe and Acrobat Kid[b] in Japan. 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. The Super NES version was re-released in August 2024 for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S,[10] alongside a new localization in Japanese made by Shinyuden as Aero: Acrobat Kid[c] for the Nintendo Switch users in Japan,[11] while the GBA version re-release for the same platforms is scheduled to be released in November of the same year.[12]
A sequel, Aero the Acro-Bat 2, was released in 1994, followed by the spin-off Zero the Kamikaze Squirrel.
