Can Sonic jump higher than Knuckles?

well dont know about that however I did notice that it's impossible to beat super mario bros with luigi because he can't make the initial jump in the castle in the 8th world. This has always bothered me.

Sonic jumps higher, but Knuckles has a better ranged jump.

New and improved! Yet still under construction.

sonic the hedgehog jumps higher. first level of sonic and knuckes. kmuckles goes through a wall of rock, sonic jumps to an opposite platform.

somebody please post a funny image

It's very true. I even remember reading in a video game magazine. Yuji and friends did it so that Knuckles couldn't travel the same paths as Sonic & Tails. Now, a skilled player can make Knuckles travel the same paths as Sonic & Tails in almost every level except for maybe Angle Island Zone, act 2 and Marble Garden Zone, act 2.

Also, they made Knuckles jump not as high to distribute character attributes evenly...um yeah.

Knuckles can''t jump as high as Sonic. It made the last boss in Sonic 2 and Knuckles extremely hard.

The original? This seems fishy, since Luigi was just player 2, as opposed to a character you could actively chose to play. Furthermore, in SMB2 Luigi has the longest jump out of everybody.

he''s just being an idiot. He''s talking about level 8-4 in SMB1, you enter the dungeon and walk down a staircase, which immediately runs into a lava pit.

I was always forced to play as luigi, with a timer that would indicate when I should kill my character whenever I played two player with someone, that way the other person had a chance to play. I played it straight through ten times once (don''t remember how many times I died).

While we''re at it, what the hell is up with those secret special stages in Sonic & Knuckles? You know, the ones where you lock on Sonic 1 or another non-Sonic 2/3 game and a screen with Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Eggman shows up that says "No Way! No way?..." Has anyone ever played through all of them? And what happens when you do? Another question that''s been plaguing me for a decade.

I am almost certain that nothing happens. Its just a fun little game.

The furthest I made it was 220, I think. I''m not sure what happens when you beat it.

Can''t Sonic double jump while Knuckles just glides?

Nah, sonic does this weird... shield jump, IIRC.

Nein. You're actually thinking of Hyper Sonic, and regular Sonic from Sonic Adventure 1/2. Regular Sonic in 3 and Knuckles could just do a shield jump.

EDIT: He could also use the special jumps that come with the shield (fireball jump, double jump with the magnet shield, and the bouncy jump with bubble shield).

Tails pwns all of you..

Quick question - did _anybody_ enjoy the scavenger hunt or robot levels in Sonic Adventure 2? Singleplayer or multiplayer, either way they blew (though the robot battle was passible, if repetative fun).

I kept wishing they''d made it like F-29 retaliator, where you _knew_ where to go, but the race was over an open, complicated level, not a set course. Instead, poorly worded and vague clues meant that I took 15 minutes on each Knuckles map.
