This is the sequal to the Genesis game Rocket Knight Adventures, Sparkster!

This game is really fun and sounds AWSOME. It is very bass heavy so make sure when playing it back you don't blow out your subwoofer

I take some damage in parts to save time in levels, or to get into a better posistion/get some extra hits in on boss's to defeat them quicker

This game is -FAST-, every level except the 3rd last one zips by at a breakneck speed, alot of the time faster then Sonic 3 is!

There is small improvements to be made with this movie (I noticed a brief 1/10th second pause with the act 2 boss before boost attack) and I will make a new run later to improve it.

Oh in case your wondering why I am standing still at the beginning of the desert level before I boost is because you can only do about 6 flips within 15 seconds or your guy stutters and gets dizzy, and the fastest way to get over there WITHOUT stuttering or getting hit by the wolf is to boost up right directly from the starting spot.

This is version 2, I did a quick re-do of the last boss cause I noticed it had alot of flaws, cut 52 seconds off the fight.

Currently working on several other SNES games right now (Final Fight 3, Actraiser 2, Batman Returns, Cybernator, Pocky and Rocky 1 & 2, Plok, R-Type 3, Saturday Night Slam Masters, Wild Guns) and I will work on a version 3 in between. Currently on Plok so I'll do it in between that and Final Fight 3 (I need a break, took 3 hours total for Sparkster ;P)
