''Spark the Electric Jester 3'' is the sequel to ''VideoGame/SparkTheElectricJester2'' and the third [[VideoGame/SparkTheElectricJester in a series]] by Feperd Games. On September 7, 2020, its first trailer was released, and Spark was reintroduced as the main character after Fark having taken his place in the previous game. Unlike the sequel, the game will feature completely new locales and bosses.
The game is still in development, and no final release date has been decided.

!!This game provides examples of:
* ChallengeRun: Carried over from the first two games. From in-dev footage, speedrunning appears to be de-emphasized, with the game instead focusing on how many points the player can score within a set amount of time.
* LighterAndSofter: The exciting music combined with smoother, more stylized cel-shaded graphics might hint at this, although one stage is an abandoned city center.
* PatchworkMap: The stages are split into multiple areas with varying themes. Drinyon Desert, for example, starts at the edge of a canyon and then continues down into a river and later a woodsy base.
* SigilSpam: An emblem with two Fs arranged vertically in a hexagonal shape is slapped onto stage elements like walls and crates. The boost mechanic also involves lines of tires the player runs through, and the words "Fark Force Tire" can be read on either side of each one.
* TheBusCameBack: The yellow Formie not only returns after his role was filled by his robot look-alike in ''2'', but he's been redesigned and sports a brown bomber jacket.
