'''''{{PAGENAME}}''''' is a platforming game developed by [[Iguana Entertainment]] and published by [[Sunsoft]] for the [[Sega Mega Drive]] and [[Super NES]] in 1994. It is a spin-off of the ''[[:Category:Aero the Acro-Bat (franchise)|Aero the Acro-Bat]]'' series, starring Aero's rival Zero.

==Story==
 +
{{ScreenThumb|Zero the Kamikaze Squirrel, Introduction.png|width=200|Introduction}}
 +
During the events of ''[[Aero the Acro-Bat 2]]'', Zero receives a telegram from his girlfriend Amy telling him that an evil lumberjack named Jacques Le Sheets is deforesting their homeland Stony Forest to produce counterfeit money and has also captured her father. Ignoring Edgar Ektor's protests, Zero decides to put a stop to Le Sheets. Upon arriving at the island, Zero's plane is shot down and crashes on the beach, so he starts making his way to the forest on foot. During his journey, Zero learns that Amy has also been captured after an unsuccessful attempt to save her father by herself. At the paper factory, Zero fights Le Sheets and pursues him on a flying ship. Aboard the ship, Zero finds that the mastermind is none other than Edgar Ektor. After defeating Ektor with Amy's assistance, the two squirrels parachute safely away, while Ektor's ship crashes into a cliff.
 +
 
 +
==Gameplay==
 +
{{ScreenThumb|Zero the Kamikaze Squirrel, Map.png|width=200|Map}}
 +
The game is a platformer that follows Zero traveling back to his forest home to stop an evil lumberjack. The game contains seven worlds with multiple levels in each. The goal of each level is to reach the exit at the end, which is sometimes guarded by a boss.
 +
 
 +
As an accomplished martial artist, Zero has a dizzying amount of moves. Zero walks with {{left}} and {{right}} and crouches with {{down}}. While crouching, Zero readies his nunchaku; he swings them with {{B}}. Zero can throw shurikens with {{A}} while standing (but not crouching) or in midair. Shurikens can be thrown at diagonal angles by holding {{up}} or (while jumping) {{down}}. Like Aero's stars, shurikens are limited in supply and must be collected in the levels to use.
 +
 
 +
Zero performs a "flic-flac," a forward leap with his legs first, with {{C}} while moving or while holding {{left}} or {{right}}. He leaps farther if the button is held for longer. This move kicks enemies that are in the way. Zero can pull out a scope and look around (to anticipate hazards) by holding {{C}} while standing still and moving the D-Pad around.
 +
 
 +
Zero jumps with {{B}}. He can perform a spinning double jump by pressing {{B}} while in midair. Unusually, this spin jump carries the momentum of the first jump instead of having its own, so it works most effectively when executed early in the jump. While in the air (but not during a spin), Zero can perform a swooping maneuver with {{down}}+{{B}}. The swoop covers a distance about half the width of the screen and can be used to attack enemies. Zero can dive in midair with {{C}}. If he hits the ground or an enemy from a dive, he slams into it. He can spin out of a dive with {{B}}. He can change the direction out the dive by pressing {{C}} again while holding a direction on the D-Pad: {{up}} or {{left}} move him in the next direction counterclockwise, while {{down}} or {{right}} move him in the next direction clockwise. He can dive around barriers in this way.
 +
 
 +
Some levels have Zero riding a jetski or a speedboat. In these levels, he slows down with {{left}}, speeds up with {{right}}, and moves with {{up}} and {{down}}. He jumps with {{A}}, {{B}}, or {{C}}.
 +
 
 +
Zero has a health bar and starts each level with four health points (which can be extended up to six hit points by collecting items). He loses a hit point whenever he takes damage from an enemy and loses a life when he loses every health point. Some hazards, such as lava, cost Zero a life regardless of how many health points he has left. The game ends if Zero loses all of his lives, but there are unlimited continues.

Zero the Kamikaze Squirrel is a platforming game developed by Iguana Entertainment and published by Sunsoft for the Sega Mega Drive and Super NES in 1994. It is a spin-off of the Aero the Acro-Bat series, starring Aero's rival Zero.

Story

Zero the Kamikaze Squirrel, Introduction.png

Introduction

During the events of Aero the Acro-Bat 2, Zero receives a telegram from his girlfriend Amy telling him that an evil lumberjack named Jacques Le Sheets is deforesting their homeland Stony Forest to produce counterfeit money and has also captured her father. Ignoring Edgar Ektor's protests, Zero decides to put a stop to Le Sheets. Upon arriving at the island, Zero's plane is shot down and crashes on the beach, so he starts making his way to the forest on foot. During his journey, Zero learns that Amy has also been captured after an unsuccessful attempt to save her father by herself. At the paper factory, Zero fights Le Sheets and pursues him on a flying ship. Aboard the ship, Zero finds that the mastermind is none other than Edgar Ektor. After defeating Ektor with Amy's assistance, the two squirrels parachute safely away, while Ektor's ship crashes into a cliff.

Gameplay

Map

The game is a platformer that follows Zero traveling back to his forest home to stop an evil lumberjack. The game contains seven worlds with multiple levels in each. The goal of each level is to reach the exit at the end, which is sometimes guarded by a boss.

As an accomplished martial artist, Zero has a dizzying amount of moves. Zero walks with Left and Right and crouches with Down. While crouching, Zero readies his nunchaku; he swings them with B. Zero can throw shurikens with A while standing (but not crouching) or in midair. Shurikens can be thrown at diagonal angles by holding Up or (while jumping) Down. Like Aero's stars, shurikens are limited in supply and must be collected in the levels to use.

Zero performs a "flic-flac," a forward leap with his legs first, with C while moving or while holding Left or Right. He leaps farther if the button is held for longer. This move kicks enemies that are in the way. Zero can pull out a scope and look around (to anticipate hazards) by holding C while standing still and moving the D-Pad around.

Zero jumps with B. He can perform a spinning double jump by pressing B while in midair. Unusually, this spin jump carries the momentum of the first jump instead of having its own, so it works most effectively when executed early in the jump. While in the air (but not during a spin), Zero can perform a swooping maneuver with Down+B. The swoop covers a distance about half the width of the screen and can be used to attack enemies. Zero can dive in midair with C. If he hits the ground or an enemy from a dive, he slams into it. He can spin out of a dive with B. He can change the direction out the dive by pressing C again while holding a direction on the D-Pad: Up or Left move him in the next direction counterclockwise, while Down or Right move him in the next direction clockwise. He can dive around barriers in this way.

Some levels have Zero riding a jetski or a speedboat. In these levels, he slows down with Left, speeds up with Right, and moves with Up and Down. He jumps with A, B, or C.

Zero has a health bar and starts each level with four health points (which can be extended up to six hit points by collecting items). He loses a hit point whenever he takes damage from an enemy and loses a life when he loses every health point. Some hazards, such as lava, cost Zero a life regardless of how many health points he has left. The game ends if Zero loses all of his lives, but there are unlimited continues.
