This teeny-tiny article needs some work. You can help us by expanding it.

Zero the Kamikaze Squirrel is a platform spin-off of the Aero the Acrobat series, starring one of Aero's enemies, Zero. It was developed by Iguana Entertainment and published by Sunsoft for the Sega Mega Drive and Super NES in 1994.

It follows Zero the Squirrel, traveling back to his forest home to stop an evil lumberjack and is another clone platformer of Sonic.

Gameplay

A throws shurikens, B jumps (quickly hitting it twice jumps higher), C standing still lets you look around the scenario through a monocular scope, while running does a vertical jump and in mid-air performs a flying attack.

Tips and tricks

Pausing the game and pressing either ACRightAB or RightUpBADownUpBDownUpB brings up a screen to select a level to start at, as well as the ending sequence and other screens. Once this cheat is used, you can return to that screen whenever you want pressing just ABC with the game paused.
