Aero the Acro-Bat 2
1994 video game
Aero the Acro-Bat 2 is a platform game developed by Iguana Entertainment, and published by Sunsoft as the sequel of Aero the Acro-Bat. It was released for the Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo Entertainment System in November 1994. The game is dedicated to Brazilian racer Ayrton Senna, who died in a crash during a Grand Prix.
David Siller planned to port and remake the game for Game Boy Advance in 2002, but then cancelled it in favor of original titles. The Super NES version was re-released for the Wii Virtual Console in the PAL region on August 6, 2010, and in North America on September 20. Ratalaika Games re-released the game in September 2024 for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
Plot
The story starts directly after the events of the original game, where Aero had knocked Edgar Ektor off of the highest tower of his Museum of Horrors. After knocking him off, Aero leaves to explore Ektor's museum, finding a magician's box which brings him to an ancient castle. Meanwhile, unbeknownst to Aero, Ektor's henchman Zero the Kamikaze Squirrel manages to save him before he hits the ground, and Ektor tells Zero to prepare a 'Plan B'.
Gameplay
The game is split into eight worlds, all of them except for the final world with three 'acts' each. The levels are significantly longer than the first game and they are designed in a similar way with many secret areas.

Why this record matters
The phrase “1994 video game” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 11, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2629633. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1994, 2002, 2010 and 2024.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
