Knuckles the Echidna

Knuckles the Echidna (ナックルズ・ザ・エキドゥナ, Nakkurusu za Ekiduna) is a major character in the Sonic series as well as the rival and friend of Sonic the Hedgehog; he is the guardian of the Master Emerald. He makes an appearance in Super Smash Flash as a playable character but is unknown if he will be or not a playable character in Super Smash Flash 2.

Character Description
During the development of Sonic the Hedgehog 3, the development team wanted to create a character that would become Sonic's rival due to the fact that Sonic had been lacking a rival up until then. The development then came up with Knuckles whose conception is based off several designs presented to be Sonic's new rival.

In the Sonic series, Knuckle was born on Angel Island and is the last surviving member of the Knuckles clan, an ancient clan that was nearly wiped off by Perfect Chaos over 4000 years ago. Knuckles then went on to protect the Master Emerald located on Angel Island.
