Knuckles the Echidna

## History

### Past

In the distant past, Knuckles was tricked by Eggman into believing Sonic was a thief. As such, once the hedgehog arrived at Angel Island and traveled to the Hidden Palace Zone, Knuckles attacked him, blocking his Spin Dash, and ignoring Sonic's attempts at reasoning. However, Knuckles would apparently later see though Eggman's tricks, and would join Sonic.
Following this incident, Knuckles would help Sonic save Green Hill from Eggman's forces on several occasions.
Some amount of time later, Knuckles would work together with Sonic, buying a coconut cream pie, and giving it to Amy, but falsely telling her that the two of them had baked it themselves from coconuts from a palm tree in Green Hill. Rouge would witness the event, however, and told Amy the truth about the pie's origin.

Later still, Knuckles gathered with Amy, Tails, Rouge, Big, Froggy, and Birdie around a palm tree in Green Hill (the same one which Knuckles had claimed to have created the pie from) to surprise Sonic by presenting him with the tree, which they had all formed fond memories around. Sonic, however, missed the point of the presentation, and was ultimately displeased.

On another occasion, Knuckles would assist his teammates in battling a horde of Badniks, led by an automated Eggman mech, the Eggcrusher. Realizing that the Badniks were sent by Eggman as a distraction, so the doctor could fight Sonic himself, Knuckles and Amy advanced upon the Eggcrusher, only for it to be defeated by Sonic before they could reach it. Suspecting Eggman's actions involved locating the legendary Paradox Prism, Knuckles and his teammates would meet at the top of a large Loop, and discus their thoughts on Eggman's scheme, preparing to strike. Knuckles would observe the scene of the fight from the Tornado, along with his teammates, minus Sonic, who had left to collect Rings. As Tails and Amy believed Eggman was hiding at the top of the mountain behind a suspicious cloud (in reality created by several Caterkillers), Knuckles and his teammates would fly to the top, confronting the doctor.

### Season 1

Having noticed Eggman's drilling operations for the Paradox Prism in Green Hill's mountain. The team, (minus Sonic) advanced on the cavern, and fought the initial wave of Badniks. Knuckles and the team would sarcastically greet Sonic once he returned, exclaiming his tardiness. Knuckles and his teammates would proceed to battle the remaining Badniks, only to be interrupted by Sonic's accidental shattering of the Paradox Prism, and an action which displaced Knuckles and his teammates across dimensions in the Shatterverse. His alternate counterparts are: Renegade Knucks from New Yoke City, Gnarly Knuckles from Boscage Maze, and Knuckles the Dread from No Place.

### Season 2

When Sonic visits Ghost Hill, he finds ghost version of his friends. Knuckles is seen lifting a rock, while saying "I don't need the details, just tell me who to smash". Sonic is excited to see his friend at first, until he realizes he is always repeating the same line. Some days later, Sonic comes back to the place with Shadow and Nine. While Nine is putting the Shards together, Knuckles and the rest of Sonic's friends quickly turn back to normal. However, this only lasts a few seconds.
