Play Zero the Kamikaze Squirrel (Europe) on sega Online

Game Overview

Zero the Kamikaze Squirrel is one of those weird, forgotten mascot platformers from the Sega Genesis era—basically Aero the Acro-Bat’s edgy little brother. You play as Zero, a squirrel with a bad attitude and a jetpack, bouncing off enemies and doing loop-de-loops through levels that feel like someone tried to make Sonic but forgot to include the speed.

The first stage throws you into a forest full of weirdly aggressive robots (because of course it does), and you’ll immediately notice the controls are… floaty. Like, really floaty. Jumping feels like you’re on the moon, which makes landing on tiny platforms way harder than it should be. But hey, at least the jetpack helps when you inevitably overshoot.

It’s got that early ‘90s charm—bright colors, weird sound effects, and a plot about saving trees and rescuing your squirrel girlfriend. Not gonna lie, it’s janky, but there’s something oddly fun about the chaos. Just don’t expect it to hold up next to the classics.
