Rocket Knight Art Shows Axel Gear’s Rise To PowerSparkster, the hero from Rocket Knight Adventures, left the Kingdom of Zephyrus fifteen years ago. Axel Gear, Sparkster’s rival, filled his shoes and partnered with a curly tailed ally.

 

The pigs Sparkster fought with in the first game are in control of the Kingdom of Zephyrus under the leadership of General Sweinhart. The Zephyrians have a new common foe, the wolf army, which destroyed Sparkster’s home.

 

Here’s a look at Axel and Sparkster compared to their original sprites.

    Two things:

    1. Not real big on that new character art.
    2. It’s a big mistake not putting this on Wii.
    3. Yes, I’ll still buy it because I’m weak!

    Just give me RKA and both versions of Sparkster on VC please. Then I can happily go on pretending the Climax disaster doesn’t exist. <3 <3
