Knuckles in Sonic 1 hack: YAY or NAY?
« on: February 27, 2009, 09:49:22 am »
We all know what SEGA did instead of "Sonic 1 and Knuckles".
We all know that Stealth has facepalmed SEGA and created a "Knuckles in Sonic 1" hack, which plays JUST like the official games -- it's spot on. Very professional.
The hack can be found on http://info.sonicretro.org/Knuckles_the_Echidna_in_Sonic_the_Hedgehog

Of course, hacks are the domain of TUSC, but I think that maybe an exception could be made. This hack is a logical "prequel" to S2K, is what SEGA should have done a long time ago. This hack is not a change of level layouts or anything. It's that what should have been.

So, the question is: do you want Knuckles charts for Sonic 1 enough to put up with the fact that it's a hack?

I think the main reason Sega did not make Knuckles playable in the first Sonic game via lock-on technology is, obviously, the level design. Watch the TAS of the hack made by JXQ and you will understand what I mean.

It was cause of color scheme, Sonic's colors in the game were linked to many other things, so if you replaced Sonic with Knuckles, you would have to change a lot of stuff to make avoid problems, and I bet they didn't want to do that.

Remember how in Sonic 3 and S3K how knuckles had yellow socks (when not playing as him), it was so he wouldn't ruin the HUD number, score, rings display. Cause of the colors.
