Rocket Knight Adventures[]
Burst Shot is one of the main attacks in Rocket Knight Adventures. If it hits a Devotindos soldier, their armor falls apart into pieces and reveals their underpants in a comical fashion and flees in embarrassment.

Burst Shot || バーストショット (bāsutoshotto Burst Shot):
- English Description:
By channeling power from his Rocket Pack Sparkster launches a bolt of energy forward from his sword.
This projectile attack is performed by pressing (XXX Button) and can be used when on the ground, in the air or on a rail.
Being able to damage enemies from a distance is very useful; however the Burst Shot does less damage than other attacks.
