Possibly Sonic at his best, Sonic 3 (and Knuckles) is probably my favourite entry in the series. It got nearly everything right, unlike the newer titles which get a few things right and nearly everything wrong. Since playing as Knuckles does change things up (Quite significantly in some cases), I've decided to record a few of the Sonic game bosses as Knuckles. Where as Sonic can speed through bosses, Knuckles requires a little more finesse to beat them quickly. Three things to bare in mind: a) Knuckles cannot jump as high as Sonic. This is the biggest difference as far as Boss Battles go. This often means he cannot hit a boss at a moment where Sonic can. b) He lacks Sonic's sub-spin move... meaning he can't bypass boss armour. This also means, he cannot hit a boss at a moment where Sonic can. Many of the moments you see here where you may very well think "Oh, i'm sure you could hit that.." No. You can't. Not with human timing. See Hydrocity Sub-Boss and IceCap boss for examples. c) For obvious reasons, (ie the glide move), he doesn't get Sonic's Shield moves. Most of the time, Knuckles can't beat a boss as fast as Sonic, but he'll give it a damn good shot. Boss Notes: AI 1 - This and the Angel Island Boss were recorded on a different emulator, hence the rather odd sounding music. AI 2 - Hah. Exact same strategy as Sonic's version of the fight. HC 1 - Yes it is possible to hit it whilst it's in the air, but the timing is so precise it would require slowing the game down in <b>...</b>
