Chaotix

Knuckles Chaotix is a "Sonic" game for the ill-fated 32X expansion to the Megadrive (Genesis). It doesn't feature Sonic, although evidence suggests that it might have at one point (see Sonic Crackers). It features Vector the Crocodile, Charmy Bee, Espio the Chameleon and Mighty the Armadillo, along with Knuckles the Echidna to provide a link to the Sonic universe. Knuckles Chaotix contains beautiful music and graphics. Although the gameplay isn't the normal Sonic gamplay, it is very unique and quite fun after you get the hang of it.

It's pretty bizarre to play. About the only interesting thing in it is Wechnia and the Amy fragment discovered by Esrael.
