For real! This game is super legit! I played this a couple months back when I couldn't fall asleep. Best decision ever! Definitely one of the best platformers I've ever played and definitely a standout title on the Genesis! I need to go back and finish it!

RKA is such an incredible game. It's a shame it went so overlooked, most people have no idea what I'm talking about when I bring it up.

Sparkster. SNES and Megadrive have their own version.

Gunstar Heroes: Not quite the same but just as good, if not better.

That part where you fly over the lake while fighting the giant serpent. The music is comfy while perfectly capturing the thrill and wonder of rocketing over landscape. They even animate the water spray when you get close to the surface.

A lot of people don't seem to think it's very good but I enjoyed the SNES version of sparkster quite a bit.

I'd actually recommend this Treasure game instead. Nothing wrong with Gunstar though, fantastic game.

I didn't play it long enough, but the crushers placement in the second level really turned me off.

I remember buying this for like $2 from a Hollywood Video that was closing down.

Nevermind it was Sparkster on SNES.
