Knuckles can glide, climb walls, and he has a Tornado Attack which he can use to break walls. He is also very fast and agile and can dig into the ground. He is also very strong and can lift rocks, and after being demonized he can disguise himself to look normal, just how Exetior can make himself look exactly like Sonic.
