In this new game, set after Sonic 4: Episode III, Knuckles departs from the two heroes, and sets off on another adventure of his own! The 4 friends from the Chaotix return to aid Knuckles in his quest! There are a total of 30 levels in this game, not including the Special Stage.
==Story==
After departing from Sonic and Tails, Knuckles returns to Botanic Base (From Knuckles' Chaotix), to aquire the Super Emeralds, stolen in Episode III, and returns to find Espio, Vector, Charmy, and Mighty resting there. They soon decide to throw a reunion party in favor of their victory in Knuckles' Chaotix, hosted on Botanic Base.
At the party, Knuckles offers a toast to his best friends, who cheer back. All of a sudden, the ground begins to rumble, and the gang realizes that Metal Knuckles, has triggered Mount Kraotowa to erupt on the island, in which, Knuckles and the gang runs from the scene. Knuckles then realizes that he had left the Super Emeralds back in the center of Botanic Base, but Metal Knuckles has already snatched them up, and has escaped! Knuckles, Espio, Vector, and Charmy agree to go after Metal Knuckles, but Mighty declines. They take off anyway, leaving Mighty to swim home...
The gang soon reaches Castle Fortress Zone, and encounters Metal Knuckles inside. Knuckles fights Metal Knuckles as a boss, but loses in the process. However, Knuckles aquires a Saphire Emerald, which allows Knuckles to transform into Super Knuckles, but only one time. Knuckles saves the power for when he really needs it, and continues forward with the gang to stop Metal Knuckles.
Reaching Rocky River Zone, Knuckles and Espio enocunter Metal Knuckles once again, but this time, Metal Knuckles uses the Super Emeralds (The ones not yet aqquired in the Special Stages) to whip up the water around him, and create the Water God! Espio fights the God, and wins with the help of Knuckles. Metal Knuckles soon retreats once again, but leaves behind some Blueprints. Vector picks them up, and realizes that Metal Knuckles is planning to use the Super Emeralds to call upon the Master Emerald, which will turn him into the most powerful being in the universe!
Finally arriving at the Black Hole Zone, Vector, Espio, and Charmy are captured by Dr. Eggman, and he reveals that he was to have been helping Metal Knuckles all along. Knuckles fights through the Black Hole Zone, and reaches the lair of Metal Knuckles at the core. Metal Knuckles then calls upon the Master Emerald, and transforms into Metal Madness II. Knuckles then uses the Saphire Emerald to transform into Super Knuckles, and goes into the sky to fight Metal Madness II.
Losing the battle, Super Knuckles grows weaker and weaker, floating back down. Super Knuckles is nearly sucked into the Black Hole, but Mighty soon arrives, saving Super Knuckles, nearly killing them both. Metal Madness II soon erupts out of the sky, and barrels straight towards the two, but Super Knuckles gives some of his power to Mighty, who turns into Super Mighty! Metal Madness II then uses the Super Emeralds, to become SUPER Metal Madness II!
Super Mighty fights Super Metal Madness II, and wins the battle once again, but Super Metal Madness II uses the Master Emeralds a second time, turning into the most powerful being in the universe! Super Knuckles and Super Mighty then conjoin powers to release the others, and lend them Super Forms!
The gang takes turns fighting Metal Knuckles in one final fight, and at the end, they join Super Powers to blast a ray, which defeats Metal Knuckles for good, powering him down. Knuckles and the others return to normal, and cheer as Dr. Eggman runs away in his Eggmobile. Knuckles thanks the gang for helping him defeat Metal Knuckles, and soon after, Sonic arrives to let Knuckles know that something is happening on Angel Island...
