One day, Zero the Kamikaze Squirrel , the sidekick of the evil Edgar Ektor, receives a letter from his girlfriend Amy, which informs him of a lumberjack named Jacques Le Sheets chopping down trees and destroying his homeland for financial purposes. Despite Ektor's protestations, Zero decides that the desire to protect his land is more important than whatever villainous plans his boss might have had in mind. It's time to show that lumberjack that squirrels of dubious reputation are no strangers to the battle for environmental protection!
Zero the Kamikaze Squirrel gameplay involves fast-paced side-scrolling and platforming action, similar to Aero the Acrobat games. Zero can eliminate his enemies by executing his trademark Kamikaze Slam: spinning in the air and crushing the unlucky adversary. He can also collect shurikens scattered across the levels and use them for projectile attacks. The squirrel is able to perform double jumps to reach high platforms and jump over larger chasms.
Zero the Kamikaze Squirrel was released on the Super Nintendo in 1994. It is an action-adventure game that challenges players with its fast-paced gameplay and environmental themes.

Manual
Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
In this action-adventure platformer, players control Zero, a martial-arts-wielding squirrel on a mission to save his forest homeland from the evil lumberjack Jacques LeSheets. To stop LeSheets' counterfeit money operation, players must navigate hazardous environments including perilous cliffs, toxic waste pools, and a dangerous paper factory. Along the way, players will utilize vehicles like jetskis and speedboats, discover secret rooms, and defeat enemy bosses using Zero's combat skills.
Story
The Story
Zero has left the World of Amusement Circus to save his forest homeland, which is threatened by the ax of Jacques LeSheets. The dire lumberjack is destroying the forest trees to make paper for printing counterfeit money using stolen printing plates.
Zero must traverse a sandy beach, scale perilous cliffs, maneuver a jetski down furious white water rapids, encounter evil lumberjack forces, and race through a deadly toxic waste pool. Only then can Zero face off with the menacing LeSheets in a final confrontation at the secluded paper mill and factory.
With his martial arts abilities to help him, Zero is a squirrel with a mission who doesn't take no for an answer.
Secret Rooms
There are secret rooms scattered throughout the game. To access these secret rooms, Zero must enter transporters or pump-up doors, which must be inflated before entering.
Zero's Journey
Zero's task will not be easy. Not only will he run through dangerous places, but he must also maneuver a jetski and speedboat through rapids and toxic waste. He will also need to use a jetpack in the factory.
To make things worse, enemy bosses are located throughout the game attempting to keep Zero from finding the paper factory. If Zero makes it that far, he must stop the vile, unconscionable Jacques LeSheets.
