System(s): Sega Mega Drive/Genesis
Publisher: Sega
Developer:

Knuckles in Sonic 2 prototype 0524 for the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis was released by drx during the February 23rd, 2008 proto release. This prototype differs from the other Knuckles in Sonic 2 prototypes in that it is already locked-on to Sonic & Knuckles, while the other protos are just the S2K chip.

Various Differences

  • Level Select is enabled and no cheat is necessary. Pressing A + Start on the title screen will show it. Debug mode is enabled by holding A and selecting a level.
  • In the title screen, although Knuckles descends from the center to make room for "Knuckles the Echidna IN...", it does not come.
  • It always lists Sonic in the Level Complete screen even though the character is Knuckles.
  • The demos are messed up and Knuckles acts erratically.
  • Sonic 2 cheat codes are still implemented and can be accessed through the Sound Test and playing certain music tracks in a row.
  • Super Knuckles is yellow.
  • All the rings are lost after entering a special stage, in the final version they remain after exiting the special stage.
  • When Knuckles reverts from his Super form, he uses Sonic's palette. Due to the change in how his Super form is activated, there is no Super bug after the endpost.
  • In Casino Night Zone Act 1 the game crashes every time the first flipper is used to go to the top left of the map where the hidden rings/ bumpers etc are. It only seems to freeze after the farthest-right bumper from the top is hit. If holding Left all the time while rising, Knuckles will fly over that bumper and it won't freeze. It also freezes when getting near it while walking on the right (use Debug Mode to place monitors to walk on). It freezes when Knuckles walks right under it when coming from the left. Flying over it as stated before works.
  • If the Special Stage is entered then exited by pressing Start+A, when the title screen reappears the top portion of the logo, including Knuckles, will not bounce down to the bottom of the screen like the rest of the logo.
