Sadly, I don't think Sparkster will ever join Smash Bros.
Since he was mentioned in this Kotaku article, there's this opinion of mine that I want to say, however, you may think I'm a jerk for saying that I have no hope for him to join but remember, I like Sparkster too and I wished just like all the others that he can join Super Smash Bros. but he can't and there's a reason why...

Rocket Knight Adventures on the Japanese Beep! MegaDrive Magazines
Since I've discover this through a tumblr post, there's interesting stuff of RKA in the issues released in 1993. Stuff seen in the magazine is screenshots or artworks never before seen.

Tools I used for are SmallPDF, to extract the pages, and Online-Convert to convert them to PNGs.
Rare Rocket Knight Merchandise
