Knuckles is Australian
For someone with more patience than me on a Tuesday evening - Sega of America were really keen to stress that Knuckles was Australian and had dreadlocks[1]... despite previously saying he was born and raised on a floating island on a fictional planet[2].
They might have changed their tune a few times during Sonic 3 and then Sonic & Knuckles' development -Black Squirrel (talk) 17:18, 26 March 2019 (EDT)
