EXIT Sparkster! There are a few theories as to why he didn't show up again: one story is that Konami just refused to give StC the rights for further stories, even though a sequel had been almost completed. Another is that Fleetway never had the rights to begin with, and just assumed they did because hey, Sparkster's on the Mega Drive. This led Konami to go "What do you think you're playing at? ... Fine, you can finish things up, but that's IT, you got that?"

Either way, the Rocket Knight was done.

EXIT Kid Chameleon. Sadly, we'd never get the final showdown, although one could argue that the game itself was that showdown.

This entire, stupid 4-part story

>>12358630
Yeah, I have no fucking clue. I doubt anyone was really clamouring for the return of these chucklefucks to begin with. Real shame, because a story about the rank-and-file non-Badniks in Robotnik's forces could've gone in so many interesting directions.

ftfy

>>12357350
that's the joke

>>12358636
Love how there's no "hey kids, write in if you want see more of these guys!", like the editor absolutely did NOT want those letters.

But yeah, I remember reading part 3 of this as a kid, and thinking a badnik war was a cool as fuck idea, always wondered how it turned out. Bafflingly, it seems.

>>12353832
Wonder if these two pages were supposed to have more dialogue - odd to see STC Sonic go more than a panel without being a cocky dick, and it looks like there's planned space for text - but they realised it looked sick without any. Elson's art is amazing.

>>12360656
iirc Marvel used to do similar stuff in the 60s, so odds are the chaps at StC had a similar idea

>>12359407
