@@Mephianse81 it wasn't anything that needed to be fixed; Knuckles has a lower jump than Sonic and Tails do, and it was to balance out his gliding and climbing abilities. Knuckles WAS meant to be the hard mode to S3&K after all. besides...the Death Egg Robot is easy to take down with Knuckles and everyone else using the same method: wait til Eggman flies up, then as he gets ready to slam down, move forward once the reticle locks on, and charge up a Spin Dash; old Eggy will be a dumbass and land the groin of the Death Egg Robot right into it for easy hits.

As someone who's casually speedrun this game since childhood, seeing Max experience the travesty that are the hitboxes on the Death Egg Robot bring me such joy and laughter. He's experiencing decades of every 8-12 year old's RAGE we had in trial-and-erroring our way past this game in one singular serving. Magical!

Not just the hitboxes, but boss weak point post-hit invincibility turning it INTANGIBLE can ruin the last fight as well (and is also the real culprit in Tails fucking you over in certain other boss fights): if you're too hasty in hitting the DER (or the Giant Eggman Robo as it was originally called 8

Yeah, that's the thing about old-school Knuckles: his jump height is a bit gimped compared to Sonic and Tails. He was meant to be more challenging in S3&K, with his hard-mode boss fights and all, but in Sonic 2, a game that was definitely not designed for him, the only part of the game that's harder is the final boss fight. There are opportunities to hit it, but it's not quite possible to speed through the boss the way you can as the others.
