The emphasis of the character was to break walls. However, after conducting research on American children, it was revealed that red was overwhelmingly popular, thus being chosen for the character's color. When it came to Knuckles' primary color, red and green were proposed candidates among the staff, while Yuji Naka was pushing towards purple. Knuckles' long tail in the final design is stated to be a remnant from his early, more dinosaur-looking design. One design even planned Knuckles to be more “reptilian”, like a dinosaur due to the popularity of Jurassic Park at the time. There were eight different candidates with the most popular one being Knuckles with his dreadlocks. The final design of Knuckles was the result of dozens of possible designs inspired by numerous different animals and usage of the market research about American kids’ taste. During the conception of Sonic the Hedgehog 3, the development team wanted to create a new rival for Sonic. Knuckles was created and designed by Takashi Yuda. Though usually depicted as the guardian of the Master Emerald, he was originally described as the guardian of Angel Island's seven Chaos Emeralds. When his friends and others are in need of his help, however, Knuckles can always be relied on, being willing to leave his home very often. He is entirely devoted to his duty, spending most of his time on Angel Island protecting the Master Emerald, and rarely cares about anything that is of no importance. Knuckles is also one of Sonic the Hedgehog's oldest friends and rivals.Ī loner by nature, Knuckles is independent, headstrong, and serious, yet gullible and short-tempered to a fault. He can also trap the wind under his dreadlocks to glide through the air. Known for his powerful and wild nature, his dominant traits are his super strength and the two spike-like knuckles on each of his gloves, from which his name is derived from, and which he can dig and climb walls with. Guarding it is his solemn duty to protect from anyone seeking to abuse it, as well as the sole surviving descendant of the echidna race from the Knuckles Clan. He is an anthropomorphic echidna and the current guardian of the Master Emerald, a powerful ancient gemstone which is kept on Angel Island. Knuckles the Echidna ( ナックルズ・ザ・エキドゥナ, Nakkuruzu za Ekiduna ?) is a character in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. I may not know the whole story behind this, but perhaps it's better that way. I'll probably be on this floating island forever, guarding the Master Emerald again.
