Sparkster (SNES) Review – retrokingpin.com

Sparkster is a completely different game than Rocket Knight Adventures on the Sega Genesis. Yeah it’s still created by Konami and it’s a bit of a sequel or spinoff to Rocket Knight Adventures where you can charge up and dash in different directions. You also now have a rolling attack which is exclusive to Sparkster. Since you’re a possum you can also hang off of branches with your tail.

Don’t get me started with the water level that you have to make your way to the top. It was a huge pain to have to time each of the dashes without taking a death.

There’s a password system in Sparkster which takes just about forever to enter in a single password. I was literally there pondering to myself, should I just play the full game again rather than putting myself through this climbing mess of an entry.

Overall Sparkster is a decent game. I just wouldn’t put it over Rocket Knight Adventures if I had my choice. You can do far worse with some of the other lackluster platformers on the SNES.
