Sparkster is the ultimate hero. Not saving the princess for wealth or fame, he doesn't even stay to get showered in appreciation. He just gets the job done, then leaves. I salute thee, brave Rocket Knight. You're the rocket-propelled hero the kingdom of Eginasem needs!

There is no denying - this game has some of the best boss music the Genesis has to offer.

I wish Konami still made games like this.

The final boss theme is insane I love it

Fun fact: this is one of the first games Akira Yamaoka of Silent Hill fame ever worked on.

Now this game has creative bosses, and the game is fantastic for it.

Rocket Knight is the fucking shit. By far one of my favorite games ever.

Alot of these old games had some sweet boss music

Fun fact: The giant centipede boss is actually a giant spider, because in the beginning of the first level, you can see the castle and on that castle is a giant spider which is the level boss.

Brings back a lot of memories from my childhood. Excellent plays!

THIS GAME IS SO FKING GOOD. I JUST BEAT THE GAME. PROUD MOMENT.

Feels like a combination between sonic and megaman.

still the best boss fight music ever in the history of mankind

4:00 enter Best Boss Ever.

The Giant Pig Mech chase near the end of the game was really scary for me as a kid. Still the greatest game I've played!!

Axle was such a great antagonist

13:05 "NOW IT'S PAYBACK TIME!!!

Am I the only one that thinks that this game is cute on the levels but the bosses are sometimes really creepy?

11:26 wow, this is some gradius/salamander stuff going on. But anyway, I definitely want to play this game right now. I liked that a lot.

One of the best games growing up :')

whoever designed this, designed Contra Hardcorps ( i think) similar boss art and soundtrack :P i love when games have original awesome design.

19:00 That boss acts like the ice area boss from sonic mania. And hitting it will make it be stunned and tilt back like that one.

I think this is where my childhood anxiety came from

I swear Genesis had the some of the most unique bosses with hilarious limb animations

13:46 This is the exact same boss in Konami's _Bucky O'Hare_ for the NES. The second to last boss, that is!

There's a way easier way to do the first boss by just rocketing behind him from the start. He can't attack backwards, if you timed it right he won't backtrack onto you, and its bombs can't hit you. Also a much faster way to do the serpent (which I think isn't more than a mini-boss, like the first one, the first actual boss is the third boss in this video), which requires you to know where the serpent will appear (its scripted) and stand ontop of its head wailing your sword at it, if done right the serpent will die even before the first jump. Faster way to do the train: on the first phase jump on his face, attack twice with your sword and jump, rince and repeat, it dies before it reaches the end the first time. Second phase, evade the hands by timing your attacks when they come at you, you will do damage and receive none, standing on the right hand corner when he does the hand target attack just hack away and none of the attacks will hit you.Third phase is pretty much the video. On the Gigantic Fish, you can just jump twice when the platforms are moving and then just run on the oposite direction of the fish and you won't fall as long as you time right the end of the phase. This video actually shows all bosses and mini-bosses, since the only actual bosses are the centipede machine, Train Tank, Gigantic Mechanical Fish, Captain Fleagle and his Giant Junkbot, The Pig Robot Fight, Mothership, Emperor, Axl, and the Pig Star core, the rest is mini bosses.

Amazing bosses, so far I have reached the train boss.

11:25 'DESTROY THE CORE.'

OMG the train boss gave me SO much grief when I was kid!

I think this game needs an 80s styled TV series.

11:55 “SHOOT THE CORE.”

Imma just say this. Fuck. That. Creepy. Train.

This was one of my favorite games!

Gigantic Mechanical fish is just that Robotnik fight in the fire world of Sonic the Hedgehog 3. They're nearly EXACTLY the same.

I loved this game. So many memories.

yes rocket knight adventures ruled awsome boss run dude keep them coming

"Pulsating Plasma Blaster" a.k.a. "Let's throw in a Gradius reference!"

one of the best game in 2D!

Man sega produced some bosses that were determined to end you back in the day

It's really weird. Sitting this close to the sprites in this definition, I can finally see that captain fleagle has blood dripping from his snout when you fight his mech.

This is like the most recent Kirby final bosses who just refuse to die.

Severely under appreciated game.

The last part is terrifying cause you can’t defend yourself! But still an awesome ending.

This masterpiece !

One of my favourite games back in the days. Still playing it these days

The Mothership Boss is very simillar to the boss Mothership from Bucky o'hare before the part of the final boss

24:55 how is he still alive!?!? 25:20 now hes gone :p wait was that a robot the hole time or something not somebody controlling it?

Had this game as a kid only ever made it to the crab guy, but good memories

WHY HAVE I NEVER HEARD OF THIS?!

In RK2 or Sparkster as it's called you can see the console struggles with the game. During boss explosions the game slows down to a crawl especially during the boss that looks like a stick man

Fun fact:do you know pulsating plasma blaster is based on big core.

That final boss desperately want to destroy Sparkster lol

You forgot to include the fight against Axel in Stage 6 where he fires a big-ass laser beam.

Very impressive!

11:25 obvious Gradius recycle is obvious.

10:48 That fucking guy has given me more problems than the giant robot itself, and just runs.

The collection of this game is almost here

11:30 great reference to Gradius

Game is fantastic & all the bosses are great but nothing tops that train boss.

wonderful!

21:20 - that sound is familiar

11:25 Thats a cool nod to Gradius!

my all time favorite

Nice !!!!!

Remember when Konami made games that were both fun AND good? You know, before they thought pachinko was a better idea?

I think this was the game that inspired mother 3s pigmask army

I want this game to get rereleased on switch or something

I thought I was good at this game when I was a kid.....come to find out I only made it half way 🤣 ...but still a great game

Sparkster: (excitedly) "All right! It worked!"👍

Sparkster: (to Captain Fleagle) "Tag, you're it!"

I loved this part 13:05 in the age of 10 when I made it that far at Stage 5. It's like playing Rock 'EM Sock 'Em in my childhood years.

The specific setting of the game))

This will make an interesting show is somebody had brought the rights to it

I know who Axel Gear is and he is Sparkster's evil arch-nemesis

Sparkster: (to Axel Gear) "Tag, you're it, dude!"

Thank you. Bring back so much memory Btw Axle Gear is the best villain in this game!!!

Hello, Do you have Sparkester Snes all bosses no damage?

Actually beat this one on emulator a few years back. Not sure how... watching this again I remember how fucking hard this game is. That magic disappearing ship? Took me a lot cuss words to get through that one...

Комментарий в поддержку видео.

Pbly one of the greatest of all time... crazy game .

19min in axle jumping around like Yoda in the prequel starwars movies lol so bad ass

That spaceship boss is freakin impossible not to get hit while fighting

How can I beat the Giant Pig Mech of Axel Gear without being hit? Can someone give me a strategy? Please help me, I lose something as 20 lives there and I can't go further.

if real life had the same sound effects as the 4th boss (in that first duel), I think we would all be better people for it

BERTO'S ROCKET KNIGHT ADVENTURES

1When evil Rocket Knight blew the wall open I was like "holy shit!" lol I could never get that far back in the day

The final boss won’t give in lol typical Konami

There he is, the yellow dog leader Generalissamo Lioness!...ATTACK!! 0:12

Final boss gives me big Komplex from Bucky O'Hare vibes.

Will never forget: "PIG"-Core (lol! Sorry I know you already named him Pulsating Plasma Blaster, but I have habits form a certain shooter to just call him "PIG-core") and how I double-KO'd myself with Axel Gear! X'D

Sparkster: "That's me!"

The sounds in Rocket Knight is similar to the sounds in Sonic The Hedgehog

2:50 moon lord :p and 21:43 ocram

awesome!

Are pigs opossums' natural enemies or something? Why else would all the robots Axel Gear built have the pig snouts?

13:03 ALL RIGHT PUT UP YOUR DUKES!

4:09 ???

why can't sega be what they used to be?!

It's spooky

All this just to rescue the princes. Rocket Knight Adventures is a solid a** game. It gave you a brutal challenge, but it's very doable.
