Hi everybody, I hope you enjoying this. This is a bit of a slow chapter for me, not much interaction with the main characters here.
Disclaimer: It's the same thing, I don't own any of these characters, I just played these fun (but very hard) games.
I meet with Aero the Acrobat in the circus where I end up getting attacked by the bad guys. The bad guys are evil clowns and they are trying to take over Aero's circus. Aero beats the bad guys and saves me. I go with Aero as we try to stop all the bad guys. First thing we need to do is jump on seven star platforms. This circus is now dangerous as it has evil clowns and horrible traps like the spiked floors. The star platforms are three blue squares with white stars on them. When they have three stars on them, you need to jump on them three times to make them disappear. When they have two stars, you need to jump on them two times. And one star you just need to jump on them once. We need to make all the seven star platforms disappear. Aero fights by doing spin in the air and throwing stars. He can only throw stars when he has them, if he doesn't have any stars then he can't throw them.
We climb up the ladder and run across, beating any bad guys in our way. I climb down the ladder but Aero jumps through the yellow rings. That is amazing! We jump across the trampolines and beat the flying bad guys. I watch as Aero gets in the cannon and goes flying into the air above me. He jumps on four star platforms. He disappears for a while so I wait for him. He comes back down and we carry on. I go down the ladder but Aero jumps through the fire ring and the yellow ring. That's amazing! We go to the last star platform which you can find by going up the ladder and then we jump through the star ring. Everybody cheers for Aero as he puts on his glasses and dances.
Next we need to find the key and rescue Aeriel. I jump on Aero's back as we ride the one wheel bike down the rope. We fall onto the trampoline and bounce up into the air. Aero beats the flying bad guy and gets something on a platform in the air. We go past the checkpoint where we see two ladders; one going down and one going up. We go to the first ladder which is going down. This scary clown is very hard to beat. Aero hits him several times before beating him. We keep going down to the bottom then go across where we need to go up past the flying bad guys. We jump through the rings and fight another scary clown. This time Aero beats him in two hits. It took lots of hits to beat him before, why did it took only two hits to beat him? Maybe you can't hit him at the front because he will stop the attacks. Maybe you need to hit him in the back to beat him. We beat a flying bad guy that was over the cannon. We look up and see spikes at the top. Good thing we look up or else Aero would have crash into the spikes at the top. Aero moves the cannon to the right where the opening is. He flies up and gets the key. Now we need to rescue Aeriel. We go all the way back to the checkpoint near the ladders. We go up the ladder this time and follow the path. We collect yummy foods that we find. We go on the trampoline where Aero beats the flying bad guy and gets a power-up that helps him to spin in the air twice. We find another power-up that makes Aero fly in the air. Why can't Aero fly without this power-up? He has wings so he should be able to just fly. We fly across the balloons over the spiked floors. Aero moves the cannon under the rings. He jumps in the cannon and flies up through the rings. Something is stopping Aero from going through the last ring at the top. I look and see that there are bubbles in the ring. Aero pops them by flying into them. I jump onto Aero's back and we fly from the cannon up into the air. That was very fast. We go to the next platform and follow it. We jump on the trampoline to get to the higher platform and climb up the ladders while beating the bad guys in our way. We go on the one wheel bike and ride it down the rope. The one wheel bike knocks out all the bad guys that get in our way. We make it to the end where we find Aeriel in a cage. Aero unlocks the cage and Aeriel jumps out. She waves to us. Is she Aero's girlfriend? She has the same clothes as Aero. Aeriel jumps away and we jump into the star ring. Everybody cheers as Aero gives them a big smile while walking backward.
For a bonus, Aero will dive into the water from a very high place. I watch as Aero climbs up the ladders all the way to the top. He jumps off the yellow board and dives down. A bad guy with a jetpack is trying to blow Aero away from the water using a big fan. This bad guy look kinda like Aero. Hey, where're his wings? He must have wings, doesn't he? Maybe he does but he decides to use his jetpack instead. That no good bad guy! He makes Aero missed the water and crashed into the floor. Now Aero has a very flat face. That is not fair!
Next we need to jump on 15 star platforms. We slowly fall down using the parachute and run through the metal things. These metal things only let you go through in one direction, you can't run back in it in the other direction. We use the cannon to fly through the fire rings which is very dangerous. We then knock out the swinging bad guys and swing across using the swinging ropes. Aero look so cool when he swing from the ropes. We climb up the ladder and ride the one wheel bike across the rope. A bad guy is swinging from the rope, throwing knifes at us. We are able to avoid all the knifes. We jump off the yellow board and right into the water. This time the bad guy is not there to blow Aero away from the water. Aero helps me to swim out of the water and we carry on looking for more of those star platforms. We beat a spinning elephant in pink that get tired after spinning around, and carefully jump over the spiked floor. We get the star platforms and then climb down the ladder where we swing across the ropes and get on the one wheel bike. We jump onto another one wheel bike and ride it to the end where we jump over the spiked floor and climb up the ladder. We jump down to get the star platforms and climb back up the ladder. Aero ends up missing the fire ring. He was supposed to jump in the middle but ended up jumping right onto the fire ring. He burnt up and has a very surprised look on his face as he is covered in burnt stuff from head to toe. Aero's eyes sure went big and his mouth big when he got burnt. Now I am by myself. I have no idea what I should do. Aero comes back from behind me. I climb down the ladder while Aero tries again to jump through the fire ring. This time he gets it right. We make our way down where we make it to the middle of the circus. I see lots of people watching from the side. They must be here for the circus. We jump across the spiked floors and jump on the trampolines to the top where Aero jumps down through the fire rings. I jump down and Aero catches me. We carry on forward where we push the cannon to the other end and use it to fly up the rings. Aero needs to shoot several times out of the cannon to get rid of the bubbles that are in the way. Aero gets all the star platforms and we shoot out of the cannon to the top and go through the stars ring. Aero is moving his head up and down, left to right as stars fly in the air and the people cheering for him.
Next we need to jump through 25 magic hoops. These magic hoops disappear when you jump through them. We look around for them while beating the bad guys. In one place Aero have to use the bubbles from the bubble machine to get to high places. Why did he need to do that? He has wings so shouldn't he be able to just fly up there? Maybe he can't, there is a power-up that lets him fly wherever he wants but that only last for so long. In another place we need to use the see-saw to get to high places. While swimming in the big water, I notice how Aero loves to swim backward while spitting out water from his mouth. We find all the magic hoops and go through the stars ring.
Now we need to turn on all the lights. It's very dark in here and it's hard to see where we going. I follow Aero through this place as we try to find a way to turn on the light. To turn on the lights we need to find four switches that are hiding around this place. We use everything in the circus to get to other places while beating the bad guys that get in our way. While looking for the last switch, I have to climb onto Aero's back and hold on as he climbs across the rope. We couldn't get across with the one wheel bike because a wall was in our way. We reach the end where we put on the last switch and go through the stars ring. Aero leaves me in a safe place while he goes to fight the bad guys. Is Aero fighting a very strong man? I'm thinking a strong man like the one in that game with the elephant. The first boss in that game was a strong man where you have to jump on his head to beat him. After a while, I see Aero going to another place. I follow him.
We go to the park where we need to jump on five star platforms. I just follow Aero as we go across the place, looking for the star platforms. The bad guys are still there trying to stop us as we jump over spiked floors, ride the platform up, breaking through the rings and riding the fun rides. The next place we go into the big clown's mouth where we ride the car to the end. Aero makes the car jump to avoid the dangerous spiked walls. He also pushes me down when there are spiked walls at the top. I can never see what's going on when he pushed me down.
It is night time and we need keys to open the doors. More dangerous clowns are here like the ones that breathe fire. We follow the path but when a door stops us, we find another path where we get the key to unlock that door. It is very dangerous here and it did take us a while to figure out where to go. The next place we ride another different ride where we need to spin upside down and back to normal to avoid crashing into the walls. After the ride finish, I walk a bit funny. I think I am dizzy from that ride. Everywhere is moving around. I don't remember what happened next, I keep getting dizzy from riding that ride again. Aero has to carry me to the end because I couldn't walk properly. It's very dark outside and we go on the car ride again. It the same as before where Aero makes the car jump and pushing me down to avoid the spiked walls. The next part is where we need to go through 25 magic hoops. I should be able to walk through this. It's the same things as before where we need to look around for the magic hoops while beating the bad guys and avoiding the dangerous traps.
Aero fight a big clown face machine that has a hand in his mouth. This clown cries a lot. The big hand will squash Aero if it grabs him. Aero doesn't like that. I move to the side and see someone behind the clown face. It's that bad guy, the one that made Aero crashed into the floor. He is moving the clown face and moving the hand. Why doesn't he just fight Aero by himself instead of using the machine? Aero beats the bad guy by hitting the nose of the clown face while avoiding the attacks. When I ask Aero about the bad guy, Aero tells me that his name is Zero and he is working for the evil bad guy called Edgar Ektor. I ask him why Zero has no wings like him and Aero tells me that Zero is a squirrel. Oh, he's not a bat! I thought he was a bat like Aero.
We go into the woods where we look around for a way out. More bad guys are trying to stop us. I don't know how long it took for us to find the way out but we finally did. We did lots of looking around, jumping on see-saws and trampolines, and running across bridges to get to the end. I am too dizzy to see what is going on. Me and Aero go into the barrel and we roll around across the place to get to the end. By the time we make it, I couldn't walk properly. I couldn't even stand up, I keep falling onto the floor.
I watch Aero using the rope to jump down to get the keys. His face hits the water as he bounces up and down. He must avoid the spikes while trying to get the keys. He does this several times to get all the keys at different places. Next we slide down the water to the bottom while avoiding the spikes. We need to duck down under the high spikes and jump over the low spikes. Aero helps me to jump over the low spikes.
… I'm…back home? I got lost in this building while following Aero. There were lots of bad guys and very dangerous traps everywhere. Bad things kept happening and then I was send back home. What happened with Aero? Did he beat the bad guys?
Not again, it's like the time when I helped this good guy called Zool. He was after Krool who was the main bad guy. Maybe this Krool is like Zool only evil, I never actually see this Krool. Zool is amazing. He can shoot bad guys by throwing things at them and can hit them with his spinning sword. He can even make another of him with a power-up. I remember following him through this place full of sweets. The lolly pops looked like the ones that I eat at home. Now I want to buy those lolly pops. At the end of the sweet world we face off against a bee bad guy that flew around shooting at us. He then bounced around when he lost both his wings. The second world was full of tape players and video players and lots of CDs too. The main bad guy of this world was a guitar. The next world was a place full of fruits and vegetables everywhere. That's all I remember as I got sent back home. I think it was because I got attack by the vegetables and that I gotten lost.
I imagine these small guys with pointed hats helping us run the fire engine as we make our way to the trouble. I got this idea from a cartoon where these three boys sing songs. At the end of the cartoon, they were singing this fun song and I saw the firemen driving the fire engine to rescue a cat from the tree. I imagine these small guys with pointed hats from another cartoon I watched running on those excise things which make the fire engine moves.
There's this cartoon I watched but don't know the name of it. It's about these good guys going through space on a flying pirate ship. I was lying down on the floor with my sister while I watched this. My sister was hugging her favourite pillow while I lie down on my pillow. At the end of this cartoon, the good guys got rid of the bad guy but then the smoke came in and someone is coming out. The good guys thought that it was that bad guy so they ran inside the ship. It turned out it was only the captain and he was confused on why his friends ran away from him.
Another cartoon I remembered watching was about this boy who need to save the world from these bad guys. One of the bad guys looked like that bad guy from that game I played. In this part, the boy was sick and it was up to his friends to help him. His friends turned small to go into him and get rid of the bad things that were making the boy sick. At the end, they got rid of them and then they needed to get out as they were getting bigger. Then in another part, they had this computer helping them. That computer looked like that game I played when I went shopping with my family. I played that game while my mummy and daddy get all the things.
And the games in this chapter are Aero the Acrobat for the Megadrive and Zool for the Megadrive as well. Both games are good but I couldn't finish them. I got struck near the final level in Aero the Acrobat. I was nearly there but I lost all my lives. And Aero getting burnt by the fire hoop, (laughing) I actually did that on my first playthrough of the game. At first I was scared and shocked because I thought I jumped perfectly through it. I was very surprised to see a burnt Aero but then I laughed when I saw how funny looking Aero was.
Did anyone had a sudden craving for Chupa Chups when playing Zool? I did! Again, I couldn't finish this game as it was too hard for me. I was looking forward to Zool 2 because you get to play as the girl who I thought was Zool's girlfriend. Too bad I couldn't get it as it was never release on the Megadrive, oh well.
The small guys with pointed hats are from David the Gnome. I remembered getting a small book on David the Gnome, at the same time I found a magazine on Sonic CD. The three boys singing and the fire engine are Alvin and the Chipmunks. Yeah... I did not know that they were chipmunks... I do like the songs though. And the last part is Captain N the Game Master. I remembered watching that cartoon. I had no idea that the characters are video game characters. I mean... How was I supposed to recognise Megaman when they got the colour wrong?!
About that ship in outerspace... Before you ask, no it wasn't Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors (though I did watch that with my other sister). I have no idea what the cartoon was called. That's all I remembered from it. I know I like the cartoon but I still can't remember the name of it.
