Sparkster: Rocket Knight Adventures 2 (スパークスター ロケットナイトアドベンチャーズ2) is a 1994 platform game developed and published by Konami for the Sega Mega Drive. It is a sequel to Rocket Knight Adventures. Even though the intro screen refers to it as Sparkster: Rocket Knight Adventures 2, it was only referred to as Sparkster on the US and EU packaging. A game known only as Sparkster was also released on the Super Nintendo but is a different game starring the same Sparkster character. Later a sequel just called Rocket Knight was released for the PlayStation Network, Xbox Live Arcade and PC.
The game stars an opossum named Sparkster who carries a sword and jetpack on a mission to stop King Gedol from taking over the Kingdom of Zephyrus and kidnapping Princess Cherry.
Story
After being rescued by Sparkster in the first game, the Kingdom of Zephyrus comes under attack once again. This time from the Gedol Empire which is led by King Gedol. In addition to this, Sparkster must also confront his rival, Axel Gear, who was sent by King Gedol to kidnap Princess Cherry, the cousin to Princess Sherry.
Gameplay
The game plays similar to its predecessor. The player can jump, attack with a sword, and use a rocket pack to fly short distances. When running into walls when using a jetpack the player will rebound if there is enough momentum left. Unlike the first game, the jet pack meter charges quicker and automatically, leading to more more opportunities to use the jetpack.
Collecting six secret swords will transform Sparkster into Gold Sparkster, a superpowered form Sparkster. Gold Sparksters attacks are stronger and the rocket pack charges faster. Transforming into Gold Sparkster is necessary to view the true ending.
Moves
Items
When Sparkster has collected 10 Blue Gems or a Red Gem (which count as 10 Blue Gems), the Item Roulette starts to play; at the top right-hand corner, players can see how many Gems they have collected and watch the Item Roulette spin. Then, once an item has been selected (entirely at random), the item is dropped from the sky, and Sparkster can pick it up like normal. Items received from the roulette disappear after a short time.
- Blue Gem: Used for collecting towards the Item Roulette
- Red Gem: 1x Red Gem = 10x Blue Gem. An instant Item Roulette play.
- Flame Orb: Puts Sparkster's sword aflame. All attacks are stronger.
- Rocket Pack:Touching these will automatically engage these rocket pack.
- Bomb:Causes damage. Each takes off one half of a Heart.
- Apple:Restores one Heart.
- Roast:Restores all Hearts.
- Sparkster Head: 1-Up.
- Life Canister: Restores two and a half Hearts of giant mech's health (The Gedol Empire only)
