Knuckles the Echidna is from the Sonic the Hedgehog series. He is usually seen on Angel Island as the guardian of the Master Emerald. And unlike Sonic, he doesn't chuckle. He previously fought Donkey Kong in the 51st episode of DEATH BATTLE!, Donkey Kong VS Knuckles. He also fought Wario in an episode of One Minute Melee.

History[]

The sole Echidna on Earth, Knuckles is the protector of the Master Emerald on Angel Island. He rarely leaves the island unless something big happens to the emerald or somewhere else.

He first met Dr. Eggman, and was told by him that Sonic was after the Master Emerald, and he needed his help. Not knowing that this was a lie, Knuckles fought against Sonic, but was soon able to realize his mistake and turned his attention to Eggman and helped defeat him. Knuckles would later become a strong ally to Sonic and his friends in later adventures.
