Sparkster (Sega Genesis vs Snes) Side by Side Comparison

[@glennwwicks]

It's interesting how (imo) the SNES version of Sparkster is actually more visually reminiscent of the Genesis game Rocket Knight Adventures than the Genesis Sparkster. The snes music is more orchestral like the original genesis game too than the genesis version (for those who don't know, these games are the sequel to rocket knight adventures on Genesis). The genesis music has a more upbeat rock/punk feel to it that I really dig, though. They're both really great.

[@mcdelloboy]

I wonder why didn’t they stick with the Graphical parts of the Rocket knight adventures for the Genesis

[@Supersayainpikmin]

Weirdly, Earthworm Jim 2 on the Genesis/SNES was the same way.

[@mcdelloboy]

@@Supersayainpikmin you think it was a bias thing or trying something different for Genesis?

[@Supersayainpikmin]

​@@mcdelloboy I'm not sure if it was a bias, but I know it defenitly wasn't because they were trying to be different; in both cases the sequels on Genesis look noticebly worse than the first entries.

[@professorpenne9962]

smart comment. the genesis version plays completely different to the snes one and I personally have more fun with that but both are good imo.

[@gargonovich]

I don't really know if this is a fair comparison, they are literally different games. From a technical standpoint, though, the SNES is absolutely crushing it here. Way more colour, far more detail in the backgrounds, bigger sprites, better effects, transparencies and as good or better animation. But because they're different games, that doesn't really matter if you like the way one plays more than the other, so this is a weird comparison. Both are good games and they're both exclusive to their systems.

[@AlecMeyer94]

The Genesis version was also rushed in production, they even added a imvincible armor which tells me that the developers added that cause they knew how broken it was. The SNES version feels more complete in my humble opinion.

[@opaljk4835]

[@zeromusura3497]

[@brandinsaurusrex]

[@Despatche]

The correct answer is that both games are good, and that we are blessed to have ever had *the same company* willing to make two separate but closely related games for different platforms. I'm imagining a PC Engine (CD maybe?) Sparkster game now...

[@professorpenne9962]

if sparkster was on the pc engine I'm 99% sure it would have crushed both the genesis and snes versions

[@wellingtonmatheus3269]

That was difficult. Both versions are excellent.

[@Dj.D25]

I think both games had advantages and disadvantages. The Snes game has the better graphics and sound effects. More levels than the Genesis version. The controls are similar to the original Rocket Knight Adventures. Cooler special effects. The game is fun, but I felt there wasn't enough enemy and obstacle variety compared to the genesis games. The Genesis game had fewer levels, but they were much longer than the snes version levels to make up for it. Different control style of how the rocket pack and sword worked if it's more your style. More enemy, obstacle and boss variety than the snes game. The genesis version was tougher in level and boss design. There were special swords hidden in each level, including the intro, where you become Gold Sparkster if you find and collect them all. The slot machine idea when collecting items was okay unless you got a bomb. Still, both good games, though I had slightly more fun playing the Genesis game.

[@earlduran6419]

Dj.D, the SNES version each stage has two sections, one mini boss, and one main boss, on Sega Genesis version each stage has three sections, two mini bosses, one main/final boss

[@zimtak6418]

I pretty much feel the same as you, except it's the SNES one I liked more. I always did appreciate Konami's effort back in the day to make unique games for each console to bring out the best in them, instead of porting one to the other making one look bad like so many other developers did.

[@lgugue]

The SNES version has a better graphic quality and the Rocket Knight is more cute, but except for the first stage you put, the rest of the game in Genesis version is quite more difficult than the SNES. The musics in Genesis and SNES are too different, in Genesis it is too much "Sonic-esque", but very nice and more dramatical than the ones in SNES, but the SNES are more pleasant to hear, despite the same character, both are very good and distinct games.

[@AspieGamer1986]

The Snes version has one problem, you can't play all the levels unless you go into the options and select the hardest difficulty. I own the Genesis version complete in box plus that version is getting harder to purchase complete on box. Otherwise both versions are amazing.

[@saturndual32]

Its a shame Konami used only an 8Mb cartridge for the Sega version, and used double that, 16Mb for the SNES game. Hence the prettier graphics on SNES. Luckly the Sega game turned out very good, about as good as the SNES game IMHO. It wasnt the only time Konami used smaller ROM on the Genesis version of games, they just prefered the SNES, but even so, they made some amazing Genesis games.

[@Wolfdragon92584]

Konami did the same thing with their ports of Sunset Riders. The SNES version has all characters, stages and bosses from the arcade with a little censorship. The Genesis version kept a few things uncensored, but there's only half as many playable characters, half the bosses have been cut, and half the stages were cut and extended to give the game more bulk. By that point, Konami pretty much didn't care about Sega anymore.

[@nicolebradbury7105]

The Snes version of Sparkster is only 8Mb as well.

[@greensun1334]

Two different games. Both are very good looking platformers, like expected from a Konami title, but without to reach each consoles limits. The SNES version seems to be a little more polished.

[@zimtak6418]

Both Rocket Knight and Sparkster on Genesis were decent games, but a little frustrating at times. The SNES Sparkster was great, notably better in every way than the Genesis games. I always appreciated Konami's effort to build SNES games from the ground up, instead of just porting their Genesis games like so many other developers did, which ultimately made the SNES look bad.

[@retrosoul8770]

Hmm, a little bit of bias I feel in the comparison, the Genesis version runs at a wider screen resolution of 320p over the Snes's cropped 256p. It's a noticeable difference across both libraries but the stretched screen you have here masks that important Snes disadvantage, which makes you feel like you can barely see anything ahead or behind you. This cramped feeling, does not exist on Genesis.

[@mleolv426]

Snes for me as well. The use of colour is so much better. The limited colours of the megadrive hurt this game as it is kinda garish

[@arthurcastro9741]

IMO the colours is not the problem, but the scenary details... Snes have a lot mote details

[@mleolv426]

Arthur Castro yeah totally agree with that

[@yohkom.7988]

The Mega Drive game is apparently better and also is the only one which runs in proper 4:3 ratio, something that the SNES can't even do! Also IMO the MD game has much better music, the dynamic and clarity of the Mega Drive is something SNES can only dream of.

[@SharifSourour]

That's a hardware limitation, not a design problem. The SNES has better hardware in every regard except for the speed of the CPU which is why Genesis is toted as faster. So they are both good games but the SNES one is more generic.

[@yohkom.7988]

"SNES has better hardware in every regard except for the speed of the CPU" The Mega Drive has many others advantages aside from the CPU such as higher resolution, better sprites engine, better 3D capabilities, crisper sound...

[@flaviatatiana1953]

The music is much better on Mega Drive.

[@Papichi05]

I find it funny how a lot of people choose the SNES version more than the Genesis. And yes, I know why; the SNES has more music quality and whatnot. But I relayed everyone’s opinions anyway. For me, both games seems almost the same with each other. Although for the Genesis, Konami could’ve put more work with the artwork and the audio and make it look as good as the original Rocket Knight Adventures game. There are pros and cons and both games. For example, the Genesis is easier to play but slightly lower quality than Rocket Knight Adventures, and the SNES has more quality but WAY harder to play, plus, Sparkster’s rocket speed is 3 times faster than the Genesis, which makes the game more trickier to play. But other than that. Botha games are good either way.

[@ulysses2162]

Both look pretty awesome to play to be fair.

[@stringanime]

I think I recall reviews of the time saying the controls and level designs are not good on SNES

[@exitplanetduster]

In fact, I tried it today and it plays horrible, very dull design, with very noticeable slowdown.

[@davidaitken8503]

@@exitplanetduster Nope. Sorry TROLLBOT. The SNES version had much better level design, more flexible controls allowing for some really cool techniques for us skilled players, and the slowdown was never a big deal. There is frame skipping going on with the Genesis version every time it uses a flashing raster effect. Slowdown and frame skipping are symptoms of the same problem.

[@Wolfdragon92584]

I'm a Genesis guy and I loved RKA as a kid, but I gotta say I like SNES Sparkster far better. It just feels more true to the series, and the bosses are far more imaginative. I may like the Genesis version's music better though.

[@cosmicfab7874]

opinare sobre el unico juego de estos dos que jugue, el de snes: los niveles buenos y variados, tienen bastantes detalles cada uno de ellos y se sienten bastantes creativos, pero en ellos suelen haber muchas partes que no existe nada en ellas y algunas cosas sin ninguna utilidad (vease la pintura roja y las pantallas blancas en en segundo nivel) muchas veces son algo cortos y te quedas con ganas de algo un poco mas largo. una cosa que me molesto de la version de sega genesis fue el sonido como de interferencia o crasheo que suena en varias partes, que si bien fueron hechos para representar por ejemplo el fuego o vapor que salia del robot de la intro, siento que pudieron hacer mejores sonidos en lugar de ese (ya que me suena muy mal). el soundtrack es el mismo que el de la version de genesis pero esta mejor optimizado, aqui ambos tienen mi apreciacion ya que, como dije, son los mismos. (casi los mismos) la jugabilidad difiere un poco de la version de genesis ya que el de snes en vez de recargarte la mochila automaticamente, tu tienes que hacerlo de forma manual, lo cual yo considero una ventaja ya que aparte de poder hacerlo mas rapido (debido al poco tiempo de recarga) tambien es bastante util para poder avanzar mas rapido y para llegar a protegerte de una forma un poco mas efectiva contra los enemigos (aunque creo que en ambas versiones sirve para lo mismo) pero debemos de tener mas cuidado al usarlas ya que un paso en falso y terminaremos dañados o muertos. una queja que veo de la version de super nintendo es el control,yo siempre he visto que estos controles son bastante buenos y no les veo ningun problema, pero tal vez esto se deba a que uno no esta acostumbrado a los controles de snes o del juego en si, pero eso solo es una suposicion. la dificultad de este juego es bastante variable pero siento que se mantiene en normal-dificil. si tuviera que definir cada nivel por dificultad seria: lago: facil, jefe-normal. fabrica: normal, jefe- facil a normal. montañas: normal, jefe-normal a dificil. submarino: normal-dificil (solo en la zona del hundimiento) jefe-normal. piramides: algo dificil, jefe-normal a dificil. villa musical: normal-dificil, jefe-normal. espacio: algo dificil, jefe dificil a muy dificil (fue una pesadilla y un infierno para mi, y cuando lo derrote me senti tan feliz, y cada vez que lo voy a derrotar siempre es un martirio para mi, menos mal que le pille el truco) base espacial: dificil, jefe dificil a jodido. misil: demasiado facil, jefe-normal.

[@clockmaster_77]

The Megadrive/Genesis version is a much more dynamic game, and the graphics is not worse in respect to snes one, look at the fantatic parallax effects in the background clouds. Moreover the snes playability is penalized by lack of checkpoints forcing the player to restart the level from the beginning when losing a life, except when he reaches the boss. And the MD musics, still not at the level of Rocket Knight Adventures "epicity" are still wonderful in FM also when compared to digitized Snes ones. Both games deserve to be tried and finished.

I like it how both games are from KONAMI, but people make differences between SEGA and SNES. As if KONAMI would produce shit on purpose for SEGA but good games for SNES. That's nonsense, right? Right! Comparing the MD and the SNES will never work, as there were 3 years of development between. Actually people should compare SNES to SEGA CD and my favorite comparision is "Final Fight" for SNES and "Final Fight CD" for SEGA CD. There are worlds between modules and CDs. SEGA did the next step already, Nintendo had modules in 1996 with the N64 even and it sucked. In 1996 SEGA had already the 2nd CD-console, the Saturn, and was going to the Dreamcast, while SONY had its PS1. .... Pretty sad: Even the first Wii couldnt play simple DVDs, which is a desaster. ....... The SNES is a good console, but comparing it with the Mega Drive is just wrong. To be honest: The controller of the SNES are horrible. But the sound chip was awesome.

[@parallaxcraze958]

+Bukmop Womm Indeed. Sprites aren't bigger, just deformed due to SNES lower resolution. But this tends to fool the unobservant eyes.

Parallax Craze look at this! The original comment has nothing to do with resolution! He said bigger sprites, and you try to turn it into some kind of war, he never said better resolution not possible on the genesis. That's like saying lol you're fooled by the mega cd midi capabilities compared to the n64 because it uses a lot of red book audio format rather than dedicated soundchip to fool people. It's irrelevant and false logic, but you'd admit that here because it's a Nintendo console in the wrong

+Troy Wright ffs... Me and Bukmop Womm talked about resolution because it IS the problem, that SNES limited and flawed resolution CAUSES graphics to be stretched since SNES can only output a 8:7 resolution (256x224 pixels) which don't match the expected 4:3 ratio and therefore all the graphic assets are bigger but in a fake way, stretched with wrong aspect ratio and less sharp. And I don't even know what you talk about with that Mega-CD and n64 sound comparison...
