Not Knuckles fault he was tricked by Eggman, Knuckles literally have never seen anyone outside of his island, Eggman just happened to be the first person he meets. A lot of fans forget that little detail, they just assume Knuckles know who Sonic, Tails, and Eggman already during Sonic 3

[@thatoneguy5347]

Yeah, people think that he should know Sonic is the good guy because of the mural in the background of his boss fight, but that mural doesn't say who the good guy is. Of course, we know it's Sonic because we know his moral alignment, but Knuckle doesn't know that, so he probably mistook Sonic to be the bad guy in the mural. This accompanied with the fact the Eggman tricks him into thinking Sonic's the bad guy also contributes to that

if knuckles's story really does take place after sonic and tails deal with eggman, that means angel island got firebombed twice and that there are two flying batteries and two copies of every midboss and boss machine. this also means marble garden zone got returned back to its original shape before getting terraformed again

@@tomservodoctor42 Ok sure. Maybe they could have made the finished prototype music for Carnival Night Zone Acts 1 and 2, Ice Cap Zone Acts 1 and 2, and Launch Base Zone Acts 1 and 2 a little more better, but I'm not bothered by that. Besides, those music tracks for those levels brings me back to when I used to play Sonic and Knuckles collection on the computer and I especially liked and enjoyed the Launch Base Zone act 1 music in the PC version of the game.

@@xavierrivera3407 Ehhh, no, I don't really. To my ear, it sounds just as flat and uninspired as the other new arrangements. This Genesis style arrangement a youtuber made gives an idea of how things could be better: /watch?v=FnPVduH-HCo

@@davidstumpf3577 Funnily enough, I first played S3&K on the PC as well. But that was so long ago, I have stronger memories of the Genesis version now. What really confounds me is that they have access to the hardware versions of the prototype songs, so why didn't they just use those?

6:00 guess the fun truly is infinite ... except this is sonic origins so i don't know about that

It’s not fine, Sonic!

the speed strats videos are amazing. they summarise the games they're talking about, has (somewhat) useful information, and has jokes and humour to spice it up. if i were to give it a rating from 1 to 10, i'd give it a yes out of 10.

This series has been so much fun, and Im so glad we have a new best wat to play the best game of the series

[@TheOnlyGokuMain]

This isn't the best way to play 3&k though???

[@terios3andK]

@@TheOnlyGokuMain For me it is, its the one I like the best

[@TheOnlyGokuMain]

@@terios3andK The one you like the most =/= the best. Sonic 3 AIR is way better, heck even handcanon admitted how disappointed they were with the way 3&k turned out.

[@terios3andK]

@@TheOnlyGokuMain I mean its just the best in my opinion

Sega finally acknowledged the super emeralds, hyper sonic, and super mecha sonic after years of saying they’re not canon. That’s the best thing I got from this.

3:04 "Fan-favorite; Mecha Sonic." They know... (SMBZ)

[@SupMario6809]

nice

[@boltthelunarian1405]

To be frank, this is supposed to be the Main/Videogame canon version of Mecha Sonic from S3&K, aka Mecha Sonic Mk.II But I am not sure of the narrator calling Mecha Sonic Mk.II "Fan-favorite" because of a fan interpretation of the character's role in SMBZ. Since that interpretation of Mecha Sonic was from a Sprite animation series that has nothing to do with the main canon.
