Product Information. Rocket Knight Adventures places you in control of an armor-clad opossum named Sparkster whose job involves protecting the kingdom of Zebulos with his rocket pack and trusty sword. Your objective in this seven level side-scroller (with multiple stages) is to defeat Emperor Devotnidos and his army of pig soldiers.The evil Emperor has taken the Princess of Zebulos hostage and threatens to bring tyranny to the once peaceful land. That's not the only problem: you'll also need to confront the ex-Rocket Knight turned traitor, Axel Gear!Levels will have you using your rocket to attack huge bosses, flying through the air in shooting stages, and even riding on a fast-moving rail cart. There are 17 bosses to battle during the course of the game, so it's a good thing you have a few moves at your disposal. Blasting off with the rocket involves holding a button down until a meter fills up with power.Once maxed out, releasing the button will send Sparkster flying into the air in the direction of the pad. Besides flying with the rocket, Sparkster can fire a short beam with his sword, jump, hang from trees with his tail, and spin attack.
Four different difficulty levels are designed to accommodate users of all abilities. Simply great game, should not be missed by true gamers!A game I got long ago and decided to throw my two cents on. Rocket Knight Adventures is simply one of the best experiences on the Genesis, a game that should never be passed up by any serious gamer. They don't make games like this anymore, games not built on story, but action and the whole experience of great stage design, nice color, awesome music (which proves the Genesis can do do kickbutt tunes), and just the right amount of speed. Couple that in with sharp controls and you have a winner in Rocket Knight Adventures. Our hero Sparkster would go on to star in two later games, one for SNES and one for Genesis, while not as universally loved as his first game, those 2 hold up quite nicely as well. Sparkster would then take a near 20 year absence from games till this gen consoles and again star in Rocket Knight.

But the true beauty lies in his first 3 adventures, games that may have been forgotten by time, but has not been forgotten by gamers that are old enough to remember his glory days, and by younger gamers getting their first taste of the original three titles. Long live Sparkster, one great protagonist with his rival Axel Gear.
Sparkster's Glorious Moment in VG HistoryRocket Knight Adventures is one of the underrated gems of the Sega Genesis era. Originally looked at as a Sonic the Hedgehog copycat, RKA delivers solid gameplay, lush graphics (by 16-bit standards), inspired music, and a comedic tone in what is a very satisfying experience.A description may give you the story of the game, but the story really doesn't matter. As in Sonic, this game is about 'pick-up and play'. It's easy to see why the game is compared to Sonic's outings.
You play as a souped-up rodent (Sparkster) bent on running (or rocketing, in this case) through levels quickly. But once the game is popped into the system, gameplay mechanics provide a completely different experience. From time to time the game will switch from free-roaming side-scroller to a style where Sparkster must keep moving right to reach the end of the level. Overall, the game has an enjoyable sense of speed. The action on-screen is never too overwhelming; but Rocket Knight Adventures still provides a challenge. Knowing when to charge your rocket or to go in slashing your sword takes trial and error.On top of solid gameplay mechanics, the game is complemented with gorgeous graphics and a memorable soundtrack. The developers of this game crafted its levels with care and made sure the music conveyed the tone/intensity of what appeared on-screen.
They also had some fun with the design. Since the protagonist of the game is a mouse, what better enemy could they use than pigs? And for kicks they threw in one mouse antagonist.Some people may want to start the game on 'Children' - to get a feel for the levels. Without changing any settings, the game starts players on 'Easy'. The difference between the two settings goes beyond the number of lives you have and the number of hits enemies take; RKA's true ending will not be displayed if beaten on 'Children'. For the more serious gamers, 'Normal' and 'Hard' will provide a worth-while challenge.It's a shame that the follow-up to RKA, Sparkster (simply titled after the main character), is not on par with the original.
The formula really didn't need to be messed with. Sparkster's other note-worthy appearance is in a bar in Snatcher for the Sega CD.
While not a big deal, it was a treat to see Konami honoring the rocket-powered mouse.If you are looking to add some longevity to your Genesis, I recommend Rocket Knight Adventures. It's the game you wish you had found sooner.
