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 and 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 implemented, that is, you play Sound Test tracks 04, 01, 02, and 06 to get all Chaos Emeralds.
  • Super Knuckles is yellow.
  • You lose all of your rings when you go into the special stage, instead of keeping them as in the Final.
  • 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 1 the game crashes every time you use the first flipper to go to the top left of the map where the hidden rings/ bumpers etc are. It only seems to freeze as you are about to hit the farthest-right bumper from the top. If you hold left all the time while rising, you'll fly over that bumper and it won't freeze. It also freezes when you come near it while walking on the right (use Debug Mode to place monitors to walk on). It freezes when you walk 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.
