Gameplay
The game features 4 worlds, The Circus, The Funpark, The Woods, and the Museum. All worlds except for The Woods have 5 acts and a boss act. Most acts require the player to accomplish a certain goal before finding the exit, such as falling through a number of magic hoops or rescuing a captured circus performer, although a few only require Aero to find the exit before advancing to the next act.
Aero's main method of attack is the drill jump. It can be aimed up by pressing 
+ 
to hit reach enemies and platforms above him, or aimed down with 
+ to attack enemies on the ground. Stars can also be collected and thrown at enemies with a press of the 
button.
Certain levels have a pick-up that when found, will take Aero to a bonus stage once the current act is completed. In these stages, Aero attempts to dive into a tank of water while falling through as many hoops as he can as Zero, Ektor's henchman, tries to blow him off course with a giant fan.
