In 1994, CIT gave Wei permission to turn Sparkster video game into an animated series and Wei Avenue Studios has renamed to Lechutan Avenue Animation.

The show premiered on January 15, 1995, and became the highest-rated cartoon premiere in CIT history at the time.

It last aired on March 12, 2000, with 312 episodes produced in five seasons. Reruns have aired on TV+ in Lechutan, but is no longer shown in Brazil, Indonesia, Croeya, United States or El Kadsre due to trademark infringement from Konami.

Critical reception
