  • A playthrough of Konami's 1994 platformer for the Super NES, Sparkster.
    Played through on hard mode.
    Sparkster is one of my favorite SNES platformers. The Genesis version (which is a totally different game) is great, but there's something special about this one. The graphics and sound are gorgeous, even by Konami standards, and the game play is beyond smooth - once you get into a rhythm, this game can feel a lot like Sonic the Hedgehog in how fast it moves and how well designed the level layouts are.
    It's also extremely hard, which is one of it's best points. Not annoying or unfair, but it makes you work for the skillset that you need to finish it. I played this on hard because that's the highest level I can beat it at without dying, and because on Hard you get to see all of the levels and get the (almost) best ending. The only difference between the end here and in the crazy hard mode, though, is that the text changes from "Now challenge very hard mode" to "Congratulation". I didn't feel like I missed much out by playing it on hard here :)

    This is easily a top-10 quality title, and among the absolute best of Konami's SNES games. Think Awesome Possum (but actually awesome) mixed with Sonic, but with jetpacks and swords thrown in to spice it up.

      And this ranks up with other Konami classics like Contra, Sunset Riders, Metal Gear, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Silent Hill, Gradius, Frogger, Top Gun and CastleVania. BTW, Akira Yamaoka later went on to become the composer for the Silent Hill series.

      Platform: Super Nintendo Entertainment System
      Plot
      The kingdom of Eginasem, a land inhabited by opossums, is under attack by an army of wolf 🐺 soldiers, which also kidnapped Princess 👸🏻 Flora. Sparkster, The Rocket 🚀 Knight, is out to battle this threat, rescue the princess and save his kingdom from certain destruction.

      2. The sword 🗡 makes him...stronger? On that, why Always Gold Armor?! In Yu-Gi-Oh! Season 4 (Waking The Dragons 🐉) When Yami Yugi/Pharaoh Atem combined the 3 knights & turned Timaeus into the Knight of Destiny, he had Gold armor too.
      3. The end credits theme is Really catchy! I love 💕 it!!

    I've RKA, this one, and the Genesis Sparkster (I don't count that later sequel at all, doesn't seem as varied as the original trilogy was), and I must say, this was Konami at their best. Something we can't say today. All 3 of these games can be difficult, and require plenty of practice as they have continue limits in them. This one has the one mecha fight I hate, the outer space boxing match, good lord is the AI relentless with Axel Gear in that particular fight.

      @@NintendoComplete It is time to review this masterpiece of 90s game design, *_Sparkster_* for the Super Nintendo (Not to be confused with the Genesis game with the same name. *_"Hey! That rhymed!"_* 🙂 ). I am not very familiar with this game. Hence why it took me so long to make this review (Also, *_Streets of Rage 4_* . What can I say? It's a great game!). Playing this alongside *_Rocket Knight Adventures_* , it plays similarly to said Genesis title, but better as well. I don't think it is better than the Genesis sequel like most people make it out to be. Still, this SNES spinoff accels in so many areas to really make it this excellent _Konami_ title.
      POSITIVES
      • *Great Graphics* (It's very colorful, nicely detailed)
      • *Smooth Character Animation* (Not just _Sparkster_ , but also the enemies are not choppy at all. Even the bosses move smoothly.)
      • *Great Sound* (Some of the music sounds better on the Genesis, but the instrumentation still makes these songs sound excellent on the SNES)
      • *Tight Control* (Everything from the Rocket, Attacking, Jumping, Moving, and Barrel Rolling control with the least bit of slipperiness possible... None.)
      • *Challenging*
      NEGATIVES
      • *Inconsistent Bosses* (Let me explain. Some of the bosses are *incredibly* easy and lack any effort. You can just mash the attack button again and again until you win. Others ( *LIKE THAT INFURIATING AXEL MECH FIGHT!!* 😡) will drive you insane. Whether it's attacks that are not easy to dodge, or irregular patterns, you will spend a long time trying to get past these.)
      • *Slowdown* (It happens a *LOT* . Out of most SNES games that I have ever played, this is one that is not forgiveable in the slightest. Seriously, I'm talking during mini-bosses, main-bosses, and especially the overhead flight level. It just ruins the game flow for me. Sure, the Sega Genesis game slows down, but not *nearly* as often as this game.)
      • *Getting the True Ending* (Like the Genesis game, you have to play on "Hard". However, unlike that version, you don't have to find swords in the levels while playing on "Hard". Or wait past the opening sequence. Thank God!)
      Final Rating: 8/10
      It is *imperative* that you look at this SNES classic sometime.
      You won't regret a thing.

      @@Dorian_Scott That slowdown you speak of, that can be fixed by hackers today, they have done it for other SNES games, just a little tweaking and this game can run slowdown free, and even faster than it ran before. Just look at Gradius 3 and Super R-Type, both got far more vicious without the slowdown in them anymore. Gradius 3 was so fast, they literally had to develop another patch to try and slow the game down some, it was too fast. Best part, it can be run on an actual SNES through either repro cart, or ever drive, slowdown free.
      Programmers today have far more tools at their disposal, so the whole SNES and slowdown myth, is slowly being put to bed.

    Rocket Knight Adventures - Chapter One, and the first adventure! Sparkster (the “rocket knight” in this case), Goes on a quest to stop the pig army from unleashing hellish raids with the Pig Star.
    Rocket Knight Adventures 2 - Sparkster returns for Chapter 2! He travels across the land in a quest to find his fathers legendary sword pieces to defeat the gnarly King Gedol and the lizard clan.
    Sparkster (SNES): The Final Chapter! Sparkster returns one last time to stop The Wolves and Pack Leader Lioness from using unstable warheads to destroy the planet while dealing with his rival, Axel Gear and his Samba Jam Parade sugarcoating the deadly catastrophe.

    En mi opinión, la razón por la que las secuelas de Sparkster no cuentan con la calidad del primero, es porque el equipo que hizo el primer juego se había ido a su propia empresa, Treasure, y además porque estos siento yo que en sus juegos dejan volar mucho la imaginación! Es por esto que siento que juegos como The Simpsons (arcade), Dynamite Headdy, Gunstar Heros o incluso Mc Donald's Treasure Land Adventure se parecen mucho a Rocket Knight Adventure pese a ser franquicias super distintas, es por la personalidad que emanan, es decir, al hacer el primer RKA siento que como no tenían aun las bases, ni la formula del juego, pues era un producto nuevo, simplemente dejaron volar su imaginación y su creatividad y su talento y sin darse cuenta crearon una obra maestra de juego, y cuando se vieron en la tarea de crear una secuela pensaron "-ok, tenemos que ver, que hicimos en el primer juego para que sea tan bueno?
    -no se, yo empecé a programar como loco y tu a dibujar como loco, una cosa llevo a la otra y al final hicimos un juego..."
    Por esto ciento que las secuelas fracasan al intentar obtener una formula o una base para los juegos, como el agregar maquinas y animales para que sean rivales para el protagonista (por eso en el primero eran cerdos, luego lagartos y luego lobos) porque obviamente la personalidad no es algo que se pueda replicar fácilmente. Un ejemplo de una franquicia de Konami que deja volar su imaginación y es buena por respetar su escencia es Ganbare Goemon (Mystical Ninja), desde sus inicios la franquicia respeto su base y su esencia a la vez que dejaban volar su imaginacion al momento en que habian peleas de mechas, viajes en el espacio o saltos en el tiempo, cosas que estoy seguro los ninjas en la epoca feudal de Japón habran hecho seguido xD.
    A veces siento que el Team Goemon debió seguir con la franquicia de Sparkster, pues no es diferente de Mystical Ninja, ambas son franquicias con mezcla acción, humor y personajes carismático y locos, pero en fin.

    Konami absolutely put their best possible crew on this game. Their SNES games are always a cut above but THIS ONE... Good Lord, they pulled out all the stops and put all their best talent on this title.
    And then you see Konami's Genesis games... where they didn't exactly have their best crews. The quality between Konami games on the Genesis versus the SNES is astounding - the SNES games definitely had Konami's best. That cannot be argued.

    • @RetroBirdGaming
      @RetroBirdGaming 7 лет назад +11

      That's true. Konami did a way better job with the SNES. Konami really wasn't even interested in the Genesis until some years into it's life when it had some success.
      "Sparkster" on Genesis isn't as good as this game in my opinion. However, it should be pointed out that the original game titled "Rocket Knight Adventures" is widely considered to be the best game in the series by far. This is likely due to it having members from the Developer Treasure before they split off to form that company. So, you essentially had the best of Konami and Treasure making that game.

      @@Bloodreign1 I was referring to Sparkster on console comparison. For start, I played this on the Sega Channel first, if you are familiar with that. I later played this on SNES but it appeared that they was adventuring in completely different universes. Konami did a great job on the SEGA console with the melodies and graphics. SNES version fell short. In fact the game played a lot slower than on SEGA.

    • @Bloodreign1
      @Bloodreign1 2 года назад +1

      @@The_Oblivion_Light Yet the Genesis one is the one most unliked by fans of the original, this one tends to get a bit more love from fans (and I can agree with them, but I disagree with both sides fans who claim this game is worse than RKA for either console). It doesn't really player slower unless you live in PAL land, where every game ran 17% slower than in any other region. As for the different universes thing, that was Konami, who loved making games for both systems, but have them entirely be different from one another, perhaps to entice those who owned both consoles to get both games, smart strategy. As for the looks and sounds, sorry, but this one has far better color usage and detail in the backgrounds, and the SNES soundchip by this point Konami knew like the back of their hand. I will say again, the game Konami fell short on was one they had their name on, but Park Place, who later worked on the Madden games, instead worked on, NFL Football.
      If anything, this game felt like the true predecessor to RKA moreso than the Genesis one. Too many people like to draw comparisons to the Sonic games for the Genesis game due to that games hidden 7 swords and Gold Armored Sparkster, which I feel is a bit unfair as it plays better than the Sonic games.
      As for knowing of the Sega Channel, I'm not too far from 50 years old, trust me, I know quite well of it. The few people that still had a Genesis by the time it came around, never had it here at all. Most of my friends had long traded in their Genesis consoles for an SNES, or in one friend's case, an NES.

      No, you are not wrong. Rocket Knight/Sparkster games are fast and dynamic, but they don't lose the sense of exploration that Sonic loses with his speed. Unlike Sonic and his games, for me the Rocket knight/Sparkster games are very underrated, it hurts that Konami has left this franchise in oblivion.
