About Knuckles’ Chaotix in brief
Knuckles’ Chaotix is a 1995 side-scrolling platform game developed by Sega for the 32X. It is a spin-off from the Sonic the Hedgehog series and features Knuckles the Echidna, Mighty the Armadillo, Espio the Chameleon, Vector the Crocodile, and Charmy Bee. Players complete levels while collecting rings and defeating enemies. The game introduces a partner system whereby the player is connected to another character via a tether. It was released in North America and Japan in April 1995, and in Europe in June 1995. It received mixed reviews and failed commercially. Despite interest from fans, it has not been rereleased beyond a brief period through GameTap in the mid-2000s. Some characters and concepts it introduced feature in later Sonic games and media, such as the Chaos Rings and the Tails/Sonic Crackers engine. The story takes place on a mysterious island and follows the group’s efforts to stop Doctor Robotnik and Metal Sonic from harnessing the power of the island’s mythical Chaos Rings to satisfy their evil deeds. Players can call their partner if they are separated, which reunites them with the main character but costs 10 rings, or throw their partner to reach far platforms. If the partner is computer-controlled, the player can stop and anchor the partner to perform special moves such as \”snapping\” to a higher ledge or thrusting to gain speed.
In these stages, players collect rings to earn a Chaos Ring. Collecting all blue spheres in a level unlocks the Chaos Ring, which unlocks the good ending in which Sonic and Tails are seen with the ChaotIX, who have freed the island from Robotnik. The partner system enables players to perform actions not seen in earlier Sonic games. The game takes place over six levels called attractions. Each attraction is divided into five acts; the fifth ends in a boss fight with Robotnik, one of his large robots, and one of the giant golden rings hidden away in the level. In the bonus levels, players pick up power-ups and pick up rings by finishing a level with 50 or more rings. In each of the special levels, the players can free-falling and picks up powerups by finishing each level. The player can also perform a spin attack to defeat enemies, and can perform aspin dash on the ground to gainSpeed shoes. There are two other partner characters, Heavy the Robot and Bomb, who hinder players’ progress due to their slow or destructive nature, respectively, and two other characters who hinder the player’s progress by being too slow or slow to move. There is also a special level where the player chooses a partner and level. Before entering a stage, they begin in a hub world where they choose a partner. : 10–11
