Sonic 3 & Knuckles (Knuckles) - Part 1 - An Echidna's island

And now we jump on to the final part of S3&K, that being Knuckles' story. The cutscene at the beginning only appears in S&K alone, but I just had to add it in.

Knuckles plays much differently than Sonic does. He runs a bit slower, and can't jump too high, but the tradeoff to that is that Knuckles can glide in the air, climb, and run through breakable walls, so his gameplay in a sense is very different from Sonic's.

Badnik Watch - they remain the same here, so I'll just copy/paste the original descriptions, and edit the ones that will need to be changed for later videos.
Rhinobot - they just charge at you when you move close to them, then make a sharp turn back, but easy to avoid.
MonkeyDude - acts just like Coconuts from Sonic 2. Monkey + coconuts = lost rings.
Bloominator - a badnik that tries to act like a flower by releasing spike balls. Yeah, definitely not eco-friendly.
Catakiller Jr. - really doesn't resemble the original in any way, except for being weak to the head. Plus this guy flies.

Coming to the end of act 1, Knuckles finishes the act in a different way, as he's able to take routes Sonic couldn't take. Plus the bosses behave much differently than their earlier encounters.

Fire Breath
Hits: 6

This guy still takes six hits to destroy, but it also fires off small explosives whenever it shoots fire, and moves to the other side of the screen, then repeats the process.

Knuckles has a completely different act 2 than what Sonic experienced. It's built to make more use of Knuckles' climbing abilities, and on top of that it's pretty short, but still fun.

EggRobo Heat-pod
Hits: 8

With Robotnik vacating the island after losing earlier, the lone EggRobo that dropped the bomb on Knuckles earlier is the doctor's substitute for the act 2 bosses.
It moves the same as Robotnik had moved it, except it'll fire out an additional 2 fireballs, so you better have some good jumping skills, because it fires all of the fireballs out pretty fast.

After dealing with the Heat-pod, its time to drop down into the city of water we all loathe.
