History Awesome / Knuckles

-->'''Wade:''' Most people think I'm a joke... \\
'''Knuckles:''' I do not make jokes. I make ''warriors''.

** This is especially notable since the human characters physical abilities in the Sonic movie fracnhise have always been fairly grounded. The most overtly exgagratted thing they tend to do is [[NotTheFallThatKillsYou seem largely unaffected by rather long falls if they have a "cushion"]] and beyond that any superhuman feat they acomplish is something that seems mundane enough [[FridgeLogic until you actually think about it]]. ''This'' however, is the most excliptly superhuman thing any human character has ever done. Shame Wade will most likely [[StrongAsTheyNeedToBe never be that strong again.]]

* When Pistol Pete attempts to sneak away with the Tournament of Champions trophy while Knuckles and Wade were fighting The Buyer, he doesn't get a chance to get away with everything scott-free, as he's confronted by Wendy and Wanda who proceed to swiftly kick his ass as the latter pins him to the ground for a good extra whooping and humiliation from the rest of the family he ditched.

-->'''Knuckles:''' ''(As he lands in a VictoryPose) in front of the globe)'' [[BondOneLiner Victory is ours]]...!

** And once Wade had finished his speech and ran out of bowling balls to hurl... Knuckles manages to wake up in a HeroicSecondWind, catching The Buyer's whips before they could hit Wade and absorbing back the power of ''all'' of the quills he had integrated into his mech. And embracing Wade's words, the Flames of Destiny reigniting from the echidna warrior's fists as he proceeds to unleash a full-blown CurbStompBattle that barely lasts a ''minute'' on The Buyer, effortlessly shredding his mech, and, with a bit of assistance from Wade, finishes him off by dunking a massive globe decoration from the top of the Reno casino on him.

** In order to keep The Buyer from killing Knuckles, Wendy and Wanda arriving with a bowling car, giving Wade the gauntlets Mason left behind and a whole batch of bowling balls to launch at The Buyer to buy time for Knuckles to get up, as the deputy proclaims how much Knuckles has helped change his life.

** And following that... Knuckles manages to bring out a HeroicSecondWind, catching The Buyer's whips and absorbing back the power of ''all'' of the quills he had integrated into his mech... As the Flames of Destiny reigniting from the echidna warrior's fists as he proceeds to unleash a ''full blown CurbStompBattle'' on The Buyer, effortlessly shredding his mech, and, with a bit of assistance from Wade, finishes him off by dunking a massive globe decoration from the top of the Reno casino on him. And for reference, this CurbStompBattle barely lasted a ''minute'' for Knuckles to win.

-->'''Wade:''' Knuckles, I hope you can hear this. You taught me how to stand up for myself and fight! And we're stronger than ever now...! Because we fight together! A warrior's true strength comes from their heart! And your heart has never been bigger! You fight to honor your family! You fight to protect your friends! And now, you have something new to fight for: A home!

* Following that, he and Jack engage in a jousting duel with katanas and bikes (With Wade being forced to resort to using a kid's bicycle), and Wade manages to win the joust, cutting off Jack's hair and promptly humiliating his bounty hunting ex-bowling partner after being abandoned by him in the first episode and betrayed for money by him at the start of this episode. And with this, Wade even manages to win Susie over to be his bowling partner after he lost to the fierce girl scout in the first episode.

* Finally motivated by Pachacamac's VisionQuest to use the power of his heart, Wade manages to break out of the cage's roof with his bare hands. Following that, he and Jack engage in a jousting duel with katanas and bikes (With Wade being forced to resort to using a kid's bicycle), and Wade manages to win the joust, cutting off Jack's hair and promptly humiliating his bounty hunting ex-bowling partner after being abandoned by him in the first episode and betrayed for money by him at the start of this episode.

Prepare to [[{{Pun}} crack your knuckles]] for the most badass moments that are sure to come.
!!Trailer
* One point in the trailer, our titular warrior is shown standing against a person twice his size and quite bulky. But does he have a hard time with this guy? Nope! [[CurbStompBattle That said guy is launched away from just one punch.]]
* A villainous moment, but our antagonist for the show has somehow managed to collect more than one powered quill and has used Robotnik's tech to make his own Chaos-Energized weapons. Hell, he even worked for Robotnik at some point!
* '''[[UnexpectedCharacter Pachacamac's surprise return.]]''' It's a blink-or-you'll-miss-it shot but looks like in this adaptation of the Sonic franchise, Knuckles is not gonna be the LastOfHisKind after all. Also doubles as a [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments heartwarming moment.]]

* Agent Mason's attempted CallBack line at Knuckles during their bowling alley skirmish, even though it's played for laughs from Agent Willoughby's [[ComicallyMissingThePoint reaction]].

* One clip shows Knuckles about to use his gliding ability from the games. With Wade riding on his back to boot.
* As a CGI example, the quality is amazing for a Paramount Plus series and can also be compared to that of the films'.

!!Sneak Peek
* In a sneak peek for the episode, "The Shabbat Dinner," a bounty hunter breaks into the Whipple residence and uses his chain to attack Wade's sister Wanda, missing her a few times and destroying some furniture. Right when the bounty hunter is about to successfully attack Wanda, Knuckles steps in to grab the bounty hunter's chain and swings him across the room.
