Metal Knuckles is an artificial copy of Knuckles the Echidna created by Doctor Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik, and appears as an unlockable character in Sonic R. Much like Metal Sonic, Metal Knuckles was created with the intention that it would destroy its biological counterpart.
Sonic Channel featured Japanese language profiles of the Sonic R characters; translated, Metal Knuckles' is as follows:

Having the same power plant as Metal Sonic, speed and acceleration power are high, but like Knuckles, this robot can glide from high places. [Appearance requirements] Collect 5 tokens in Reactive Factory in Grand Prix mode and finish better than fourth place to begin a one-on-one match with Metal Knuckles. Win this race and Metal Knuckles will become a possible choice on the character select screen. Key Advice:
