Sparkster (Mega Drive) & Sly Cooper | Monday, 09.23.24

On this day in gaming:

Exactly 30 years ago, the Japanese version of Sparkster: Rocket Knight Adventures 2 was developed by Konami and released exclusively for the Sega Mega Drive as a direct sequel to Rocket Knight Adventures (1993).

22 years ago, Sly Cooper took the world by storm when Sly Cooper and Thievius Raccoonus released in North America on the PlayStation 2 console, courtesy of both Sony Computer Entertainment America (now known as Sony Interactive Entertainment) and Sucker Punch Productions (developers behind Rocket: Robot on Wheels, Infamous (series), and Ghost of Tsushima)

Both Rocket Knight Adventures: Re-Sparked and Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus are available now!

Sparkster - Um herói propulsivo que a Konami esqueceu

Sparkster é uma franquia obscura de games cujo primeiro game surgiu em 1993 pelas mãos da Konami para o SEGA Genesis sob o nome de Rocket Knight Adventures. O game consistia de um platformer, no qual um guerreiro chamado Sparkster, trajando uma armadura com propulsores, enfrenta um exército de suínos. No meio desse conflito, ele enfrenta um guerreiro sombrio chamado Axel Gear, um renegado, que tem habilidades de combate similares. Além disso, tem o velho esquema de donzela em apuros: Sparkster tem de salvar a princesa Sherry. Sparkster: Rocket Knight Adventures 2 foi lançado para Mega Drive em 1994 e apresentou melhorias em relação ao game antecessor, sendo que um comando era usado para espada, outro para o Jetpack, e um para pulos. Na trama, os reptilianos e o líder deles, Gedol, pretendem dominar o reino de Zephyrus, e no meio do conflito, a princesa Cherry é capturada por Axel Gear e mais uma vez, Sparkster tem de retornar à cena da justiça para punir os malfeitores e resgatar a princesa. No mesmo ano(1994), foi lançado um game sobre o personagem para o SNES. A versão de SNES é similar com o game de Mega Drive, mas se passa em um universo alternativo. Os vilões mudaram: agora são lobos amarelos. O arquirrival Axel Gear retornou, sequestrando a princesa Flora, com isso, Sparkster parte para a ação, com o propósito de derrotar os ���Lobos Maus”, Axel Gear, e resgatar a princesa Flora. 

Rocket Knight foi lançado em 2010 para PS3 e Xbox 360, sendo uma sequela de Sparkster: Rocket Knigh Adventures 2, em vez de um remake do primeiro game. Os suínos retornaram à cena do crime e juntamente com eles, Axel Gear. Sparkster parte em uma jornada solitária para enfrentar velhos conhecidos com uma extensa ficha criminal... Infelizmente Sparkster não teve nenhum game novo depois de Rocket Knight 2010, em outras palavras, ele fez apenas aparições especiais em outros games da Konami, por exemplo, Ganbare Goemon 2: Kiteretsu Shougun Magginesu, New International Track & Field, e Konami Krazy Racers...

The boss theme.  Pretty self-explanatory.

About

Rocket through three epic animalistic adventures in Rocket Knight Adventures: Re-Sparked! The mightiest mammal to ever rocket to stardom is back in a three-game, Carbon Engine-powered collection that includes:

Rocket Knight Adventures (1993)

Sparkster’s first adventure. When an army of pigs invade the kingdom of Zebulos, it’s up to the bravest of the Rocket Knights to take up his sword and save the day. Rocket through seven stages full of the strangest enemies imaginable and stop the Emperor’s porcine power trip!

Sparkster: Rocket Knight Adventures 2 (1994)

Sparkster’s second adventure sees him picking up his sword against Axel Gear, a Rocket Knight gone BAD. Adventure through six more levels to save the princess of Zebulos and restore peace to the kingdom.

Sparkster (1994)

This Rocket Knight spinoff pits Sparkster against the evil Generalissimo Lioness. In a bid to conquer the world, Lioness has taken Princess Flora hostage, and it’s up to the great knight Sparkster to brave nine more levels of platforming adventure to save the world.

Key Features

The tricks, traps, and challenges never end, and the Carbon Engine is here to give you more, more, more, including:

An all-new animated intro from Studio Meala.

Rewind feature.

Boss Rush Mode.

Museum Mode featuring never-before-seen content.

Something a little different.

These are screenshots that I took some seven or so years ago (screenshots, as in some of my favourite screenshots; otherwise, there’d be a lot more where that came from) of one of my favourite Genesis games, Sparkster: Rocket Knight Adventures 2...done on Normal Mode.

There were a couple of mistakes and mishaps along the way, but I was still able to get both the normal ending and the true ending (both on different save slots, ofc). Looking back at it now, I’ve been considering revisiting this game once more, especially since I plan to stream it on my new Twitch channel, only this time, I’m going to be playing it on Very Hard Mode, and without any continues to fall back on (I’m still setting the game to max lives, don’t worry). Probably gonna end up driving myself insane, but BOY will it be well worth it in the end!

[spinslash165]

I have stupidly big plans for Racer Pack Recharged, but I've dialled it back enough that the remakes at minimum should release before the year ends. Have a Sparkster remake preview in the meantime! I'd also post the footage, but I guess Tumblr doesn't handle .webm well?

(Addendum: I don't plan on remaking Jotaro. I don't trust myself enough to do him justice, plus someone else is doing a way better job with him. I do have two humans/humanoids planned for the full pack, but they're a lot more cartoony than JJBA, so I should be fine making them.)
