How to Play Knuckles

"Sonic &Knuckles" was released for the Sega Genesis in 1994, and marked the first appearance of the character Knuckles. Players can choose between Sonic the Hedgehog or Knuckles the Echidna at the start of the game. Knuckle's controls are different than Sonic's controls, and includes a few new moves, such as being able to glide and climb walls. For players who are used to Sonic's controls, playing Knuckles can be confusing at first, as a new player adapts to the differences in controls.

  Press the "A," "B" or "C" buttons to jump. Press the button again, in the middle of a jump, to glide in the direction Knuckles is facing. The glide can be used to cross large gaps safely.
