How to unlock the Legendary Possum achievement in Rocket Knight - Definitive Guide
You unlock Gold Sparkster mode after you finish Arcade mode on Hard (see the Devotindos Defiler achievement guide). It's just like Hard, except that you have half life, gems are worth more points, and you don't need to do the "special techniques" on the world bosses. (Which is a relief, since doing Axel Gear with only 4 hearts is quite a challenge by itself. :)
I recommend taking it slow, conserving your life and killing enemies carefully, and restarting if you lose too many lives on a level. Try to get all the gems on a level, as it will give you 2 extra lives at the end. (It's easy to do this on the flying levels, in particular!)

Damn, Axel Gear is a pain. Pretty much walked the story until I met him and it's just taken me an hour to beat him.

Attempting this now, and it’s crazy difficult. Suprised it only has a 4 ratio. Precise timing and level memorization are required to make it through this difficulty.

To unlock Gold Sparkster Mode you will need to clear the entire game on Hard difficulty. In this mode; enemies spawn as they would in Hard difficulty and bosses require a lot more damage to put down while however Sparkster has only 4 hearts of health but his power regenerates much faster. This mode is very difficult and will require a lot of practice, patience and persistence to make it through the game. You won't need to perform the special attacks on each boss to stay in the difficulty, just focus on making it through the game. Collecting the extra lives in each level gives you more tries and you should use the Restart trick if you are having problems.

Golden Sparkster mode unlocks after you beat the game on Hard difficulty. In this mode, the enemies will be several times thicker and stronger, and you will only have 4 hearts. The main advice here is to take your time. I usually did a restart if I died at the very beginning of the level or died many times throughout the level, so as not to lose lives. It also makes sense to restart in case of death with bosses.
