A darker, better-looking sequel that is one of the pricier US carts, so check it before you pay.

Iguana Entertainment developed this Sunsoft platformer, which reached North America in January 1995 and Europe in August 1995. It is the sequel to Aero the Acro-Bat and is dedicated to the racer Ayrton Senna.

Reviewing the Genesis version, GamePro said it outclasses the original with a darker theme, superb graphics, new moves and better control.

“That cute, spunky little flying mammal is back, but you gotta ask yourself—why did he bother?”
— Game Players, July 1995

“this is just more of the same dribble, and to be honest, it doesn’t really deserve to be on the Megadrive - in fact it amazes me that the company think that they can make any money out of it at all.”
— Sega Magazine, September 1995

“That cute, spunky little flying mammal is back, but you gotta ask yourself— why did he bother? There’s 45 levels of astounding mediocrity that’s sure to bore all but the incredibly simple minded. You might wanna rent this one or maybe not!”
— Game Players, April 1995

Before you buy

Among US carts this is one of the dearer ones, well above the median, so it is worth checking carefully; ask for a photo of the board. The European loose cart usually costs more than the US one, while a complete European copy usually costs somewhat less. A complete US copy means the case, cartridge and manual.
