Rocket Knight Adventures Genesis
Game Information
He's courageous! He's clever! He's one good lookin' opossum. It's Sparkster the Rocket Knight, the heroic jet pack jockey with warp speed, quick wits and pumped up personality. After all, who else do you know can get a grip with his tail? Rocket through 7 epic stages of animalistic adventure, home of the hugest, strangest enemy pig creatures imaginable. (In fact, your mission is crammed with more ham than a Hollywood premier.) Destroy the Emperor who's on a porcine power trip that will take him to the Key to the Pig Star. In every stage you'll be moving, flying and riding in a new direction to escape opossum punishment. You're the thrust-meister controlling Sparkster's jet pack and his assault sword. Confront mechanized menaces like the Giant Pigbot, the Drill Of A Lifetime, and the snappy Crab Rangoon. Things take a turn for the worst in the room of rotating gravity where Axle Gear, the Black Knights awaits you. And you've never seen anything like the unreal mirrored lava pools where things will reflect badly on you. The tricks, the traps and challenges never end. But the world as you know it will if you don't grind those pigs for sausage.

Additional Information
The evil Emperor has taken the Princess of Zebulos hostage and threatens to bring tyranny to the once peaceful land. That's not the only problem: you'll also need to confront the ex-Rocket Knight turned traitor, Axel Gear!
Levels will have you using your rocket to attack huge bosses, flying through the air in shooting stages, and even riding on a fast-moving rail cart. There are 17 bosses to battle during the course of the game, so it's a good thing you have a few moves at your disposal. Blasting off with the rocket involves holding a button down until a meter fills up with power.
Once maxed out, releasing the button will send Sparkster flying into the air in the direction of the pad. Besides flying with the rocket, Sparkster can fire a short beam with his sword, jump, hang from trees with his tail, and spin attack. Four different difficulty levels are designed to accommodate users of all abilities.
