This weeks choice is by Shadid, and is Sparkster on the Mega drive. The sequel to Rocket Knight adventures released in 94 by Konami. Here's some info:
Sparkster's gameplay is very similar to its precursor. The game largely functions as a 2D sidescrolling platformer, with an autoscrolling airship stage being the lone exception. The player is able to jump, attack with Sparkster's sword, or use his rocket pack to fly. Unlike in Rocket Knight Adventures, Sparkster's rocket pack charges up automatically.
A duel with Sparkster's arch rival Axel Gear occurs, much like in the first game.
Gold Sparkster
The main difference between this game and the rest of the series is the inclusion of seven secret swords hidden within the levels. A player who can obtain all seven will face the final boss as Gold Sparkster. Gold Sparkster hits harder than normal Sparkster, and his rocket pack charges faster. However, unlike super sonic from the sonic the hedgehog games, he can still get hurt.
Completing the game as Gold Sparkster is necessary if players want to see the 'True' ending. If the game is completed without transforming into Gold Sparkster, a message will appear saying 'Try Again.'
