The game is decidedly more gory than previous Castlevania games, but what really helps separate it from earlier games is the fact that players have two characters to choose from. Rocket Knight Adventures sold well enough to warrant two more games, but it still never seemed to get the respect it so rightfully deserved.Ĭastlevania‘s only appearance on a Sega console is a great addition to the series. Throughout the course of the game, Sparkster will latch onto tree branches with his tail, catch a ride on a runaway trolley, and jump in a giant pig mecha to fight a rival rocket knight. There is tremendous variety in the levels.
This rocket pack plays a big role in the game, and is used as both a means of reaching new heights and as a method of attack. Sparkster is armed with a sword and equipped with a rocket pack that allows him to fly for brief periods of time. The game stars a lovable opossum knight named Sparkster who fights an army of robots and pigs. Needless to say, Konami’s Rocket Knight Adventures was a breath of fresh air. In the years that followed the release of Sonic, gamers were introduced to the likes of Bubsy the Bobcat, Rocky Rodent, and Awesome Possum. While animal mascots in games date back to the days of Donkey Kong, the popularity of Sonic the Hedgehog acted as a catalyst for animal mascots of the obnoxious variety. Wacky animal mascots have always been a staple of animation, so it was only natural for them to play a prominent role in the video game world as well.
