Sonic & Knuckles (ソニック&ナックルズ Sonikku to Nakkuruzu?) is a 1994 platform video game in the Sonic the Hedgehog series for the Sega Genesis. It was developed in the United States at Sega Technical Institute by members of Sonic Team, and was published by Sega worldwide on October 18, 1994.In addition to being a standalone game, through a system dubbed "lock-on technology," Sonic & Knuckles acts as an expansion pack to both Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and Sonic the Hedgehog 3, the latter with which it was developed in tandem.

"Blue Sphere" redirects here. For the video game in the Star Ocean series, see Star Ocean: Blue Sphere.If the player uses the original Sonic the Hedgehog or Sonic Compilation, a screen with Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Robotnik stating "No Way" repeatedly is displayed. By pressing the A, B and C buttons together, players can access a minigame based on the Special Stages of Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles. Players can enter a twelve digit code on this screen, with every number combination generating a different variation of a Special Stage level. This game is retroactively known as Blue Sphere in Sonic Mega Collection.

Referred to in-game as Knuckles the Echidna in Sonic the Hedgehog 2, the game is largely identical to Sonic the Hedgehog 2, with the exception that gameplay is altered due to Knuckles having separate abilities from Sonic or Tails. Knuckles can glide and climb walls, allowing him to gain access to areas that had been otherwise hidden or unreachable. Conversely, he cannot jump as high, making some situations, such as certain boss fights, especially the final one, more difficult. In this version of the game, the two player mode has been removed.

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and Sonic & Knuckles were originally to be released as one game,[4] but due to time and financial constraints, it was later split into two separate games. However, Sonic & Knuckles contained "Lock-on Technology", where the Sonic & Knuckles cartridge would be put in the Sega Genesis system, and then another game could be placed onto the top of the Sonic & Knuckles cartridge itself.[4] When Sonic 3 is used in this manner, it enables the player to play through both games as one, titled in-game as Sonic 3 & Knuckles. This features several additions to the games not available otherwise, such as small alterations to the levels, and being able to play through Sonic 3 levels as Knuckles, or Sonic & Knuckles levels as Tails, and the ability to save progress in all of the game's levels.Additionally, this was the only way to collect Super Emeralds, which are earned by accessing Special Stages in the Sonic & Knuckles levels after collecting all seven Chaos Emeralds from Sonic 3. When all Super Emeralds have been collected, Sonic, Knuckles and Tails can transform into Hyper Sonic, Hyper Knuckles and Super Tails respectively, each with unique abilities.

It's a Sonic the Hedgehog hack that includes Tails as a playable character, new/different layouts for every stage, different music ported from other Sega games, double boss fights in some zones and new moves!

sonic and tals in paynt is a parody hack of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (and sequel to Sonic in Paynt) for the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis by sebmal (credited as "thehulk" in the hack.) In this sequel that is most likely wanted by nobody, you can expect even worse palettes, a soundtrack consisting entirely of the Hidden Palace Zone music, and poorly edited level layouts.This hack is similar to the tongue-in-cheek hack Sonic 1337 by Ultima.

Sonic And The Mystic Gems (previously known as Sonic 1 Harder Levels) is a hack made by Eduardo Knuckles and his team Harder Project of Sonic the Hedgehog on the Sega Mega Drive. It began in 2005 with the simple purpose of being a generic Sonic 1 for Sega Genesis with increase difficulty and revamped versions of the original levels. But now, it's going to present a completely new gaming experience with a new style of level layouts full of paths everywhere among new enemies, new objects, new character abilities, new menus, completely different styles of the Sonic 1 special stages and much more!Credits and Special ThanksMistergambit for his Spring Yard Zone and Labyrinth Zone level art used in the game.Tweaker for his information regarding music importing, bug fixes and the speedcap removal.HPZMan for the new sound driver instruments and the dynamic tile-set system.Selbi for some new exclusive ASM things and improvements.Master3k for sending and fixing some music.nineko for creating the xm3smps tool which was essential for the creation of some songs.

Sonic and the Secret Extended Edition (previously known as Sonic 1: The Other Extended Edition, not to be confused with Sonic the Hedgehog Extended Edition) is a hack of Sonic the Hedgehog for the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis by Hayate. It was discontinued in August 2008, after Hayate gave up on the hack due to the various bugs it had, but it was picked up again in December 2009.

The idea of this game is that you and another friend of yours selects a character (one being Sonic and the other being Tails) and you both battle it out to try to gain as many hits on Eggman. The catch is that Eggman only gets destroyed when the timer runs down to 0 (unless it's a draw at that time, then, it will wait for another hit). The player with the most hits at the end of the timer, wins! You can also win if the other player dies before the timer runs out. The amount of wins are tallied up on the results screen where you can either retry or change settings.This hack made by redhotsonic
