Tails got through Act 2!
Blue Knuckles is the name informally given to a character which can be obtained in
Sonic 3 & Knuckles and in the
Sonic & Knuckles Collection by hacking the rom or simply by using Game Genie / Pro Action Replay codes. His internal character ID is 04 so a common way used to play as him in the
Gens emulator is to use the FFFF0A:0004 code.
He plays like regular Knuckles, though he uses Sonic's palette and Sonic's life counter in the HUD. Although he can complete several levels just fine, several glitches might arise, especially when it comes to levels in which there are Sonic-specific or Knuckles-specific paths, as it's possible to get stuck and/or to be unable to trigger certain level events.
To add even more confusion to the mix, he is referred as Tails in the "(character) Got Through" text at the end of each act (as pictured). The result screen is often glitched as well, with random garbage tiles appearing all over the screen.
Super Blue Knuckles flashes yellow just like Super Sonic; interestingly enough he reverts to red once the super transformation is gone, and he'll stay red up to the next zone, unless he dies.
Hyper Blue Knuckles flashes yellow just like Super Blue Knuckles, but he has (glitched) afterimages; he can't breath underwater, unlike both Hyper Knuckles and Hyper Sonic. Once again, he reverts to red once the hyper tranformation ends.
