Sparkster

Sparkster

The eponymous main character is a possum knight who fights against an army of yellow wolves and robots. He is armed with a sword that can fire energy bolts and a rocket pack that lets him fly short distances. The gameplay is mostly the same as in the Mega Drive games, with the most notable change being the addition of a short-range roll jump. One major difference is that the final level of the game depends on the difficulty level selected. On the easy difficulty, the game ends with the fight against Axel Gear, but on the normal difficulty, the story continues with Sparkster's fight against the leader of the wolves in the next level. On the hard difficulty level, the game continues with the real final level.

Story

The kingdom of Eginasem, a land inhabited by opossums, is attacked by an army of wolf soldiers, who have also kidnapped Princess Flora. Sparkster, the Rocket Knight, is out to fight this threat, rescue the princess and save his kingdom from certain doom. His arch-enemy, the rival Rocket Knight Axel Gear, supports the invading forces, which makes Sparkster's task even more dangerous. The player's objective is to fight through all the enemy warriors and robots, defeat Axel Gear and penetrate the enemy battleship, where the leader of the wolves, Generalissimo Lioness, plans to launch a warhead to destroy the planet Eginasem.
