** Which makes the game's GreenAesop a bit of a BrokenAesop. Jett could only beat the polluting and wasteful PPP by using a machine that seems to be just as polluting and wasteful (just look at all the fuel it uses and smoke it pumps out!).

''Jett Rocket'' is a WiiWare game made by Shin'en Multimedia, released in 2010. It is a 3D {{Platformer}}--notable for, in fact, being just about the ''only'' 3D platformer for WiiWare. It's also notable for its ''incredibly shiny'' graphics, which have a level of polish and detail some believed impossible for a downloadable Wii game.
The game itself is named for the main character, Jett Rocket, a "Planetary Inspector." A gang of interstellar pirates known as the Power Plant Posse have descended upon the lovely planet of Yoroppa in order to steal its energy. Jett Rocket is called in to put a stop to their plans! He must dismantle their machines and return Yoroppa to its peaceful state. Like all good platformer heroes, he must do this by traveling across Yoroppa's [[PalmTreePanic Atoll]], [[SlippySlideyIceWorld Northpole,]] and [[JungleJapes Jungle]], through 12 levels, retrieving the solar cells that fell from his craft along the way. In addition to jumping, he can fly with a jetpack, as well as a variety of different moves by making use of different items--like riding a jet ski, floating on a parachute, hitching a ride on a magnetic zipline...
