Zero the Kamikaze Squirrel is a fast-paced 1994 side-scrolling platform game developed by Iguana Entertainment and published by Sunsoft for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. Spun off from the Aero the Acro-Bat series, the game follows the titular ninja squirrel as he rushes to protect his homeland forest from evil industrialist Jacques Le Roan and rescue his kidnapped girlfriend, Amy.
How to Play
Guide Zero through dangerous wilderness stages, factory zones, and cliffside caverns filled with hazardous traps and enemy forces. Use Zero’s agile martial arts maneuvers, aerial acrobatics, and projectile weapons to clear each stage and defeat stage bosses before confronting Jacques Le Roan.
