Aero the Acro Bat: (GBA) Prototype gameplay showcase

Описание: This is a showcase from an prototype for the GBA game: Aero The Acro Bat: Rascal Rival Revenge, (named only the main title at this point) that was dumped and released way back in December 5 2020.

This build shows how the GBA version originally would be, compared to the final version, (The final game was released in Japan at Dec 30, June 25 in US, and April in Europe in 2002) most notably it shows this was meant a staright port of the SNES and Genesis, instead of a complete remade that was made in the final release.

List of differences that can be seen in this build:

-The title screen is identical to the SNES and Genesis versions, except is streched horizontaly to fit with the GBA screen resolution.

-Only one level is playable, and it's quite unfinished...

The in-game HUD is the same one used in the SNES and Genesis versions, albeit without a black outline.

The game iself uses Earthworm Jim (GBA port) main theme and sound effects as a placeholder.

Aero does a flip animation when climbing to the top of a ladder, like the SNES and Genesis versions. Also, you can't climb back down after reaching the top, unlike in the final build.

The layout of the level is identical to the SNES and Genesis versions. Some objects such the cannon seen halfway through is missing, and the floating rings are not set on fire, like the final game.

-The level iself cannot be completed at all, as it lacks an goal exit.

Due the fact that Aero cannot climb down any ladders in this build, it's possible to become trapped at one point at the level, forcing the player to do an reset to escape. (It can be seen at 1:50)

While not shown here, there's actually more part of the level at the top of the stage, using cheats to reach up there, reveals that the area is really incomplete, with the background having a cutoff void too.


Hope you enjoy! 😊
