Knuckles first appeared in ''{{s|wikipedia|Sonic the Hedgehog 3}}'' and is one of the main characters of the ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' series. He is aptly named for both his spiked gloves and immense physical power, only rivaled by [[Sonic]]'s supersonic speed. He lives alone on Angel Island, the location of an ancient and powerful jewel known as the Master Emerald, which is said to be able to control the power of all seven Chaos Emeralds. Since birth, he has been tasked with guarding the Emerald from potential intruders. He is serious and headstrong, but due to his isolation, very gullible and easy to manipulate. On multiple occasions, Knuckles was tricked by Dr. Eggman into thinking that Sonic was attempting to steal the Master Emerald. Due to this, along with their conflicting personalities, he sometimes clashed with Sonic as a rival. However, upon realizing his mistake, he assisted Sonic in defeating Eggman, and has since become a close ally. | Knuckles first appeared in ''{{s|wikipedia|Sonic the Hedgehog 3}}'' and is one of the main characters of the ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' series.

In ''Ultimate'', Knuckles has three abilities as an Assist Trophy. The first is digging into the ground like a drill and then uppercutting back up. Knuckles's ability to dig into surfaces first originated in ''{{s|wikipedia|Sonic Adventure}}'' and ''{{s|wikipedia|Sonic Adventure 2}}''; however, in both games he could only dig if he had the Level Up Item [https://sonic.wikia.com/wiki/Shovel_Claw Shovel Claw]. He could also dig into the ground and then uppercut in ''{{s|wikipedia|Sonic Battle}}''. It was not until ''{{s|wikipedia|Sonic Generations}}'' that he could dig without the Shovel Claw. The uppercut resembles the [https://sonic.wikia.com/wiki/Spiral_Upper Spiral Upper], an ability Knuckles first learned in ''Sonic Adventure 2'', though he does not necessarily need to dig into the ground first before performing it in his own games. | In ''Ultimate'', Knuckles has three abilities as an Assist Trophy.

His second ability is the [[Homing Attack]], which also made its debut in ''Sonic Adventure'' as a move only Sonic could perform. Knuckles was first able to use it in ''{{s|wikipedia|Sonic Heroes}}'', though he could only perform it when following Sonic. He could first use it on his own in ''{{s|wikipedia|Sonic Advance 3}}''. His third ability is simply punching the opponent with his fists. Knuckles is often associated with punching in many Sonic games and often has the ability to punch enemies as a part of his moveset in his playable appearances in Sonic games, more specifically the previously mentioned ''Sonic Adventure'' and ''Sonic Adventure 2'' as well as in ''{{s|wikipedia|Sonic the Hedgehog (2006)}}''. He is also seen punching, specifically {{s|wikipedia|shadowboxing}}, during his idle animation in ''{{s|wikipedia|Sonic & Knuckles}}'', ''{{s|wikipedia|Sonic Blast}}'' and ''{{s|wikipedia|Sonic Mania}}''. His punch-punch-uppercut combo closely resembles a combo he could perform in ''{{s|wikipedia|Sonic the Fighters}}''. | His second ability is the [[Homing Attack]], which also made its debut in ''Sonic Adventure'' as a move only Sonic could perform.

Knuckles appears in ''Ultimate'' as an [[Assist Trophy]]. He attacks opponents with [[Homing Attack]], and also digs into the ground and then uses an uppercut to attack. He may also simply punch opponents with his fists. He is also able to be KO'd. He cannot be summoned on Brinstar Depths, Castle Siege, Corneria, Green Hill Zone, Pilotwings, Spirit Train, and Venom. | Knuckles appears in ''Ultimate'' as an [[Assist Trophy]].
