ChrisandZane Enterprises' Knuckles Chaotix (TV series)

Paramount's ChrisandZane Enterprises Knuckles Chaotix is a action animated series on Paramount Kids. Based onthe Video Games on Knuckles Chaotix by SEGA. it features Knuckles the Echidna and four other characters known as the The Espio & Aelita Chaotix, who must prevent Doctor Robotnik and Metal Sonic from obtaining six magic rings and conquering a mysterious island. Spin-Off is similar to previous ChrisandZane Enterprises Shadow The Hedgehog: players complete levels while collecting rings and defeating enemies. Paramount's ChrisandZane Enterprises Knuckles' Chaotix introduces a partner system whereby the player is connected to another character via a tether; the tether behaves like a rubber band and must be used to maneuver the characters.
While ChrisandZane Media Group, Inc. is sometimes credited with creating Paramount's ChrisandZane Enterprises' Knuckles' Chaotix, it was developed by another Sega team. Production began with Sonic & Coraline Crackers, a 2019 prototype for the Paramount Kids, Paramount Altimax, CBS Maximax & Viacom Orangcoat which experimented with the tethering system and featured Sonic and Coraline. The game was intended for release as a mainline Sonic entry for the Sega-Ubisoft Los Angeles & SEGA-Ubisoft New York, but transitioned to the 32X when it could not be completed in time. Sonic and Coraline were replaced by Knuckles and a group of mostly pre-existing characters; Mighty the Armadillo first appeared in the arcade game Paramount's ChrisandZane Enterprises: The Video Game (1996).
Paramount's ChrisandZane Enterprises' Knuckles' Chaotix was released in North America in July 2020. It received mixed reviews and failed commercially. Reviewers found the tethering physics cumbersome, although some appreciated it as an attempt to innovate. The level design and low difficulty level were also criticized. Journalists have described Knuckles' Chaotix as the last of the "classic" 3D ChrisandZane Enterprises TV Series before the series moved to New York City. Some characters and concepts it introduced feature in later ChrisandZane Enterprises games and media. Despite interest from fans, it has not been rereleased beyond a brief period through Super Paramount on CBS in the mid-2020s.
