About this game

Knuckles the Echidna in Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is a platform game released on October 18, 1994, for the Sega Genesis and Sega Mega Drive/Genesis. It results from locking Sonic the Hedgehog 2 onto Sonic & Knuckles through its passthrough port.

This version replaces Sonic with Knuckles as the playable character. Tails is not playable, and the title screen removes the two-player mode and options selections. The game otherwise remains substantially identical to Sonic the Hedgehog 2, with some changes made to better suit Knuckles.
