A lively Aero the Acro-Bat spin-off with a high price among US carts.
Zero the Kamikaze Squirrel is a spin-off from the Aero the Acro-Bat series, developed by Iguana Entertainment and published by Sunsoft; you play Aero's rival, Zero. The Genesis game came out in 1994 in North America.
The four reviewers at Electronic Gaming Monthly gave the Genesis version high scores, praising Zero's innovative dive and swoop moves and its colorful graphics.
What the press said at the time
| GameRankings (aggregate) | 71.25% | |
| Electronic Gaming Monthly | 9/10, 8/10, 8/10, 8/10 | |
| AllGame | 3/5 |
“That’s what makes this game so good! Once you master a move, the next level challenges you to feam to use it in a different way in order to survive.”
“It’s a platformer, it’s not very original, but it’s playable enough and not offensive in any way at all. Which makes it rather nice all round.”
“Zero has great graphics with vibrant colors, cool sound, awesome play mechanics and all the moves of Bruce Lee. This is one of the best action carts out for the Genesis.”
Undated scores are from the review table in the game's Wikipedia article, limited to reviews of the Genesis version.
How the Sega Genesis version differs
The Genesis version came out in October 1994, a month before the Super NES one, with a PAL Mega Drive release in July 1995.
Electronic Gaming Monthly's four reviewers gave the Genesis version high scores, praising the dive and swoop moves and the colorful graphics.
GamePro's Captain Squideo found the dive and swoop moves too difficult to control on the Genesis.

Before you buy
Among US carts this is one of the priciest, so ask for a photo of the board and remember a Western cart has no notch. The European cart usually costs about the same as the US one.
