Spark The Electric Jester 2 (Formerly titled Fark the Electric Jester) is a May 2019 sequel to the 2017 Spark the Electric Jester PC action game by Feperd Games. It remakes the second storyline from the original, in which the robot jester known as "Fark" goes on a quest to save his creator and the world from an uprising of robots led by Freom, a machine-turned-virus who wants to enslave all life forms.Like the first, the game plays much like a Sonic game would with its fast pace and slope physics, but the combat mechanics draw inspiration from beat 'em ups such as Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance.A September 2020 trailer revealed an Xbox One release for the game, as well as a follow-up, Spark the Electric Jester 3.A demo with three stages is available here. |

Another Side, Another Story: Works as this to the first game, as it completely restructures Fark's story from the first title into a new storyline that puts Spark Out of Focus, but still happens simultaneously to Spark's nonetheless. |

Last Lousy Point: The criteria for earning the medals and the medals themselves. It's easy to barely miss the score threshold, or be a few seconds too slow. At the least the bosses are rather simple to gain their diamond medals on. |

Hyperath Fleet, the penultimate level, is this to Megaraph Fleet (the penultimate level of the first game), down to sharing the same music, enemies, and even a countdown near the end. |

Retcon: The entire game overwrites Fark's story mode from the original. It presents an alternate continuity where Fark does not immediately become friends with Spark and meets a cast of new antagonists on his way to fight Freom, leading to many different events and twists. Around the release time of Spark 2, the original game not only got an warning declaring that its story for Fark was still a "completely valid" series of events but also had its script rewritten, making things a bit confusing to those following the series from the beginning. When Spark fought Freom in the first game, the villain morphed into a stronger form on-screen. This game changes it so Freom's real body is tied to a chair and the other versions of him are separate clones. Fark is the one who turns out to be able to transform at will. |

Shout-Out |
| | Spark the Electric Jester 2 (Video Game) / int_c75df49a |
comment |
Shout-Out: Continuing the developer's chain of references to Metal Gear Rising, the Start Screen looks very similar to the one on that game. The first boss, the Ryno Dyno, is a blade-wielding black-and-red custom model of the Friken from the first Spark, much like how Metal Gear RAY was a penultimate boss in Metal Gear Solid 2, but was made into the first boss of Revengeance. Apocalypse Thruster's theme sounds suspiciously similar to Final Fortress' from Sonic Heroes. The fact both stages are preceded by a battleship fleet stage cements the reference. As a send-up to the game's inspirations, the results screen after each level visually resembles the title screen of Sonic Adventure 2: Battle |

comment |
Counter-Attack: Fark can still block attacks to gain super meter, a bit of invincibility and a power multiplier. The timing is as forgiving as ever, perhaps even more so this time, and boss fights pretty much consist of standing still next to the enemy while spamming attacks and tapping the parry button when appropriate. |

Killed Off for Real: Flint is the only newly introduced character who's shown to still be alive by the end of the game. |

Avoid the Dreaded G Rating |
| | Spark the Electric Jester 2 (Video Game) / int_dec54a8c |
comment |
Avoid the Dreaded G Rating: Subverted; the inclusion of strong profanity in the game’s dialogue (courtesy of E.J. and Double, at least in earlier versions) could be seen as an attempt at doing this, as the game contains little objectionable content otherwise. However, LakeFeperd announced that these instances would be toned down for the final release (albeit to his chagrin). The final game contains no such profanity. |

comment |
Continuity Snarl: Spark 2 reworks several plot elements from the first game into something different here. Some of them are a Retcon, while others work as a Revision. But certain things, such as the entire final encounter with Freom and things like the Apocalypse Thrusters that never existed prior, effectively cannot co-exist with the original game in the continuity. Spark 3 doesn't attempt to really consolidate or understand this by mostly focusing on the aftermath of 2's story instead. |

Expy: Double and his allies seem loosely based on the Desperado Enforcement quartet from Metal Gear Rising. This gets quite on-the-nose when you fight Double, the leader of the group who wields two swords and has a penchant for violence, on a helipad and later face Flint's Iaijutsu skills. Float is a cyborg who has no reason to fight, much like Mistral questioning her reasons, and is the first one out of the group to be fought for real (if one disregards Jetstream Sam's tutorial fight.) |

comment |
Clone Angst: Fark is upset at being a robotic duplicate of Spark, failing his purpose and having an insult ("Fake Spark") for a name. It is also revealed that he is actually designed as an upgraded variant of Freom as a way to carry his data. This later turns out to be the case for E.J. as well, although the time between him realizing he's one of many mass-produced copies of Fark's bodytype and his death is mere seconds. |

Bishōnen Line: Freom has crossed it as he did in the first game, using his taller, distinctly humanoid form. Later on, he puts Fark in such a dire state that Fark's Super Mode puts him past the line, getting larger and more distinctly humanoid. |

Exact Words: People with poor hardware who try the second demo will likely try the "Should Work" graphic settings, but it seems what it does is fail to load all models during gameplay. Can't say it isn't kind of working, though. |

comment |
Decomposite Character: In the first game's early development, Fark and Freom's roles were both filled by a robot known only as The Prototype, with plans to make it playable at some point. The Prototype's concept art is used to form the basis of Freom's true form, and its role as Spark's rival being passed onto Fark is taken more literally, with Fark being designed as a successor to Freom. |

| | Spark the Electric Jester 2 (Video Game) / int_f4a0408f |
comment |
Wake-Up Call Boss: Float's boss fight introduces multiple hazards that the player must dodge/parry at the same time, namely the red circle during her second phase. Her aggressive pattern also in the second phase is tricky to dodge and parry as well. Most boss fights going forward keep the multiple hazards, such as E.J's lightning bolts across the arena and Double's screen-wide blast. |
