 Knuckles'
Adventure
Knuckles has a slightly different adventure than Sonic or Tails. Kuckles first appeared in Sonic 3 on the Genesis/Mega Drive, appeared in Sonic and Knuckles, and then starred in the little known 32X game Knuckles Chaotix. His levels are free roaming compared to the previous two adventures that were pretty much on a path. The goal of each level is to find three emerald shards. Knuckles finds two upgrades such as the Shovel Claw and the Fighting Gloves. He also fights a form of Chaos that no one else does (Chaos 2).
Knuckles Action
Stages:
The first level that Knuckles must complete is Speed Highway, although it takes place in the city part of the level and not the highway part. To get to the level, go to the area of Station Square where Sonic exits Speed Highway. When you punch through the boards you will gain access to the level. Speed Highway Objectives: C: Find the 3 emeralds using the Hot/Cold radar method. When the beacon is flashing red, you are close, when it is blue you are not. B: Find all the emeralds without using any hint balls. A: Find all the emeralds in 1 minute. Emeralds Cheat: Since the emeralds spawn in random locations every time you enter the level, there is a little trick you can do in order to get all the emeralds in less than a minute. This trick will cost you lives so it is best to do this in the "Trial" mode once you complete the level one time in the adventure. This cheat requires you to use the pause menu to restart the level, but you must be absolutely sure not the exit the level as the emerald locations will then be randomly scattered again. First, locate the first emerald taking as much time as you need. When you find it, do not collect it, but rather restart the level and run directly to it. Repeat that same trick for the second and third emeralds. This will cost you three lives, but you will get the third emblem easily this way.
When you complete Speed Highway, run to the Casino area, and climb up the sign across from the Casino. From there glide over to the button to enter Casinopolis. Casinopolis Objectives: C: Find the 3 emeralds using the Hot/Cold radar method. When the beacon is flashing red, you are close, when it is blue you are not. B: Find all the emeralds without using any hint balls. A: Find all the emeralds in 1 minute.

After the Casino, Knuckles will be taken to the Tikal area, run to the center area for a cutscene. When you return to Station Square, follow Eggman up the elevator in the hotel to battle Chaos 2. To defeat this form of Chaos avoid him until he takes a humanoid form, then jump on his head. Repeat to win. Once that is over, go to Mystic Ruins and find the cave near Tails’ Workshop. Inside is the Shovel Claw upgrade that allows you to dig underground. Dig in the small round platform to find the monkey-killing bomb. Place it near the monkey in the cage to destroy it and open the grate. Head over to the Red Mountain area with the bomb and destroy the cage to access the level. Red Mountain Objectives: C: Find the 3 emeralds using the Hot/Cold radar method. When the beacon is flashing red, you are close, when it is blue you are not. B: Find all the emeralds without using any hint balls. A: Find all the emeralds in 1 minute.

Just as Sonic and Tails have done, head to the lake area of Mystic Ruins. This time Knuckles battles Sonic, followed once again by Chaos 4. Head to the pyramid area of Mystic Ruins and run to Big the Cat’s…house. Climb to the top and glide to the ledge in order to glide to the Fighting Gloves upgrade. In order to access Lost World, you need to find two keys. The first one is right next to the mine cart. The other is a little trickier to find. There is a corridor of tress with no path. Follow that to another mound that you can dig in, and you will find the second key. Lost World Objectives: C: Find the 3 emeralds using the Hot/Cold radar method. When the beacon is flashing red, you are close, when it is blue you are not. B: Find all the emeralds without using any hint balls. A: Find all the emeralds in 1 minute.

After that level, and the cinemas Knuckles ends up back on egg carrier. Find the empty swimming pool and enter the doorway to get to Sky Deck. Sky Deck Objectives: C: Find the 3 emeralds using the Hot/Cold radar method. When the beacon is flashing red, you are close, when it is blue you are not. B: Find all the emeralds without using any hint balls. A: Find all the emeralds in 1 minute.

When you complete Sky Deck, run to the green lit area to fight Chaos 6. Use the exact same tactic as Sonic to defeat him and end this part of the Adventure.
