[[caption-width-right:320:It's Knuckles, in his ''own game''![[hottip:*: Darn it, Mighty! Why'd you blink?]]]]
'''''Knuckles Chaotix''''' (simply known as {{Chaotix}} in Japan) is an action-platform game in the popular ''SonicTheHedgehog'' franchise, released for the [[OtherSegaSystems Sega 32X]] in 1995, and the only ''Sonic'' game to appear on that system.
[[ChekhovsBoomerang According to the Japanese instruction manual]], Dr. Eggman discovers a mysterious island containing artifacts known as Chaos Rings - magic rings infused with Chaos Emerald energy - and built his base (dubbed the Newtrogic High Zone) there. Mighty the Armadillo, Espio the Chameleon, Charmy Bee, and Vector the Crocodile, all arrived at around the same time, but were captured by Eggman and placed in his "combi catcher" machine to avoid interfering with his plans. Knuckles, curious about the island, ventures there as well to find out more about the Chaos Rings.
The game is played with two characters, joined together by an elastic ring (with the cord shown as a trail of sparkles). Before each stage, you use the combi catcher to randomly select your partner, and then select a stage (also at random; how fast the stage select indicator moves depends on what day cycle you're currently on), progressing through it in normal ''Sonic'' fashion, defeating Eggman's robots and reaching the giant ring at the end of the stage. A great deal of cooperation is required to make it through the game, as you have to make use of the properties of the elastic rings you and your partner hold in order to zoom and slingshot your way past obstacles.
----
! Tropes used in ''Knuckles Chaotix'':
* BottomlessPits: Averted during the normal stages. Since there are almost always two characters on the field at one time, stages are deliberately designed to keep this from happening. The Special Stages, however, are prone to this.
* [[BulletproofHumanShield Bulletproof Furry Shield]]: Partners can be used for this purpose, as they only lose one ring when hit instead of all of them (unless your partner is Bomb, who explodes when hit, causing you to lose all of your rings if you're within its blast radius).
* CanonImmigrant: Espio made his debut here before making appearances in other media. Mighty the Armadillo is a Canon ''Emigrant'', having first appeared in ''[=SegaSonic the Hedgehog=]''.
** Vector was supposed to have first appeared in the SoundTest from Sonic 1, as part of Sonic's band. While the idea was discarded, he got to make a [[http://manga.portalsonic.com/index.php?date=2010-06-29 cameo]] in the very first Sonic manga, in 1991. As for Charmy Bee, he first appeared in [[http://manga.portalsonic.com/index.php?date=2010-11-25 another]] Sonic manga at around 1992.
* {{Cap}}: The game has a cap of 255 rings instead of 999. Then any other rings collected are turned into points.
** There is a cap the other way as well. You can get as low as -99 rings. Anything below that and you are sent back to the attractions screen. You lose rings by calling your partner.
** You are sent back to the attractions screen if hit with anything under 0 rings.
** Also, you can only take 200 rings into a Special Stage. Anything above that is simply lost.
* CaptainErsatz: Mighty the Armadillo is literally just an edited Sonic sprite. Which makes the appearance of Sonic in the ending pretty strange.
* CircusOfFear: The "Speed Slider" level. It's more like a cheery roller coaster, but CreepyCircusMusic plays during the merry-go-round boss battle.
* ComicBookAdaptation: In both [[Comicbook/SonicTheHedgehog Archie comic]] (as a 48-page special) and ''SonicTheComic'' (as a five-part serial).
** And the characters became regulars for a long while, in comparison to the many years before their [[VideoGame/SonicHeroes next appearance]].
* CreditsMedley: The only non-main line Sonic game with one.
* DummiedOut: Tails. Also, sprites of him in the Tornado, and Super Sonic have been found within the ROM.
* EasterEgg: Amy in the sound test menu.
* EternalEngine: The "Techno Tower" level.
* FanNickname: "Wechnia", for the DummiedOut character called "**********" by the game, because he appears as a glitched, white Knuckles. Research on the game's prototypes eventually revealed he actually was Tails.
* {{Flight}}: Instead of spin-dashing, Charmy does this to get around. It is a complete and utter GameBreaker, since he has no "cooldown" period.
** However, Charmy can't jump in the traditional sense, so he takes a bit of getting used to. But yes. If you want a ridiculously easy game experience, wait until you get to Techno Tower, which can be done in less than a minute with Charmy.

[[caption-width-right:320:It's Knuckles, in his ''own game''![[hottip:*: Darn it, Mighty! Why'd you blink?]]]]
'''''Knuckles Chaotix''''' (simply known as {{Chaotix}} in Japan) is an action-platform game in the popular ''SonicTheHedgehog'' franchise, released for the [[OtherSegaSystems Sega 32X]] in 1995, and the only ''Sonic'' game to appear on that system.
[[ChekhovsBoomerang According to the Japanese instruction manual]], Dr. Eggman discovers a mysterious island containing artifacts known as Chaos Rings - magic rings infused with Chaos Emerald energy - and built his base (dubbed the Newtrogic High Zone) there. Mighty the Armadillo, Espio the Chameleon, Charmy Bee, and Vector the Crocodile, all arrived at around the same time, but were captured by Eggman and placed in his "combi catcher" machine to avoid interfering with his plans. Knuckles, curious about the island, ventures there as well to find out more about the Chaos Rings.
The game is played with two characters, joined together by an elastic ring (with the cord shown as a trail of sparkles). Before each stage, you use the combi catcher to randomly select your partner, and then select a stage (also at random; how fast the stage select indicator moves depends on what day cycle you're currently on), progressing through it in normal ''Sonic'' fashion, defeating Eggman's robots and reaching the giant ring at the end of the stage. A great deal of cooperation is required to make it through the game, as you have to make use of the properties of the elastic rings you and your partner hold in order to zoom and slingshot your way past obstacles.
----
! Tropes used in ''Knuckles Chaotix'':
* BottomlessPits: Averted during the normal stages. Since there are almost always two characters on the field at one time, stages are deliberately designed to keep this from happening. The Special Stages, however, are prone to this.
* [[BulletproofHumanShield Bulletproof Furry Shield]]: Partners can be used for this purpose, as they only lose one ring when hit instead of all of them (unless your partner is Bomb, who explodes when hit, causing you to lose all of your rings if you're within its blast radius).
* CanonImmigrant: Espio made his debut here before making appearances in other media. Mighty the Armadillo is a Canon ''Emigrant'', having first appeared in ''[=SegaSonic the Hedgehog=]''.
** Vector was supposed to have first appeared in the SoundTest from Sonic 1, as part of Sonic's band. While the idea was discarded, he got to make a [[http://manga.portalsonic.com/index.php?date=2010-06-29 cameo]] in the very first Sonic manga, in 1991. As for Charmy Bee, he first appeared in [[http://manga.portalsonic.com/index.php?date=2010-11-25 another]] Sonic manga at around 1992.
* {{Cap}}: The game has a cap of 255 rings instead of 999. Then any other rings collected are turned into points.
** There is a cap the other way as well. You can get as low as -99 rings. Anything below that and you are sent back to the attractions screen. You lose rings by calling your partner.
** You are sent back to the attractions screen if hit with anything under 0 rings.
** Also, you can only take 200 rings into a Special Stage. Anything above that is simply lost.
* CaptainErsatz: Mighty the Armadillo is literally just an edited Sonic sprite. Which makes the appearance of Sonic in the ending pretty strange.
* CircusOfFear: The "Speed Slider" level. It's more like a cheery roller coaster, but CreepyCircusMusic plays during the merry-go-round boss battle.
* ComicBookAdaptation: In both [[Comicbook/SonicTheHedgehog Archie comic]] (as a 48-page special) and ''SonicTheComic'' (as a five-part serial).
** And the characters became regulars for a long while, in comparison to the many years before their [[VideoGame/SonicHeroes next appearance]].
* CreditsMedley: The only non-main line Sonic game with one.
* DummiedOut: Tails. Also, sprites of him in the Tornado, and Super Sonic have been found within the ROM.
* EasterEgg: Amy in the sound test menu.
* EternalEngine: The "Techno Tower" level.
