I was expecting RKA to be ok and Sparkster to be better but it's the other way around. While Sparkster has a more advanced implementation of the jetpack (in RKA it's just like a one-use super jump, with Sparkster you can fire it off in mid air so stay airborne and rattle around the screen for as long as you want).
Sparkster has a slight case of the Sonic 3s though and goes a bit overboard a lot of the time. There's more annoying detours like robot boxing matches and crap novelty things that don't work as well as they might. RKA is more straightforward and better balanced as a result. They're both pretty good though. Lots of bosses, lots of opportunities to fly and bounce about and blow stuff up. The horizontal shooter sections work better than they've got any right to. Decent soundtracks and graphics throughout. I didn't realise the Snes Sparkster is a completely different game so may give that a bash.
