Play as Knuckles in Sonic the Hedgehog 2, exploring new areas and facing unique challenges with his climbing and gliding abilities.
The title screen features Knuckles, and only the "Press Start" option is available, with Options and 2-Player mode removed.
You can explore areas that were previously inaccessible in the original Sonic 2.
Knuckles' climbing and gliding abilities make some areas easier, such as Wing Fortress Zone. However, his low jump can make certain bosses harder, including the Aquatic Ruin Zone Boss and the Final Boss of Death Egg Zone. Metropolis Zone Act 3 is more challenging due to Knuckles being slower and having a lower jump than Sonic or Tails.
You retain your Rings after a Special Stage, and Special Stages have reduced Ring quotas for Knuckles. If you lose a life, you keep the Rings you had at the last Starpost you passed.
