The Sonic Advance games are also something of a lost piece of Sonic history. Who knows? It may very well be that this game was under-appreciated in its time and is actually a truly good entry in the franchise. Reviews at the time of Knuckles’ Chaotix release weren’t terribly positive, but Sonic fans still deserve a chance to experience this unique piece of Sonic history for themselves. Making use of Knuckle’s climbing ability or Mighty’s air boost could enhance such maneuvers even further. The tethered rings act as a sort of rubber band, so players could do things like build-up some distance between their characters and then allow the tether to snap-back and launch the characters to otherwise unreachable heights. It’s a shame too, since the title features several unique mechanics that never caught on in the mainline series of games.Įach of the four main characters: Knuckles, Mighty the Armadillo, Espio the Chameleon, Charmy the Bee and Vector the Crocodile each had different abilities and properties which would open up certain avenues while also closing certain others thanks to the tethered ring and partner system. Originally released in 1995 for the 32X, Knuckles’ Chaotix has not seen any sort of release since, making the original cartridges into fairly valuable collector’s items. While not the only Sonic classic to never see a re-release, Knuckles’ Chaotix is the quintessential example of such.

So, here are a few Sonic classics that would be worth Sega’s while to revisit. There are also at least a couple of fans favorites that could do with a remake or remaster by now. Despite seeming otherwise, there are actually plenty of decent games in the Sonic library besides those that Sega seems obsessed with throwing at fans over and over, and many of them could really do with a proper re-release. Sonic Origins is about to hit PC and consoles, and like just about all previous Sonic collections, it only hits a handful of the franchise’s highlights.
