About this Game
A downloadable version of the classic Super NES game, provided through Nintendo's Virtual Console service.
The World of Amusement is being attacked by a disgruntled ex-clown named Edgar Ektor and his kooky clown posse. As in all forms of entertainment, the show must go on, and it's up to Aero the Acrobat to ensure that it does. You take control of Aero as he fights his way through fire-breathers and knife-throwers on his way to clearing the circus from the freaks and geeks that threaten to destroy the show. Along the way, you'll have to walk a tightrope, fly through hoops of fire, survive a harrowing roller coaster, and many other acts you'd expect to see in a typical circus. While all of this is going on, you'll have to stay alert and look for power-ups that will make Aero's job a little easier: clocks for extra time, hidden items that will unlock bonus levels, and magic throwing stars. So stop clowning around and get your hands on Aero the Acrobat.
