Sparkster picks up right where Rocket Knight Adventures left off—same fast-paced, rocket-boosted action, but now with even tighter controls and some wild new levels. You're still that badass opossum knight with a jetpack, slashing through enemies and ricocheting off walls like a furry pinball.

The first stage throws you into a forest with these weird floating platforms that tilt when you land on them, and before long, you're dodging giant spinning saw blades. Classic Konami level design—just when you think you've got the rhythm, they throw something ridiculous at you. The boss fights are chaotic in the best way, especially this one where you're chasing a train while missiles rain down.

It's tough, but not unfair. If you liked the first game, this one's a no-brainer.
