References in the Knuckles Series
Ойындар
The live-action Sonic universe loves to sneak in little easter eggs and references from the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise and the Knuckles series has quite a few Sonic easter eggs and references to spot. This video showcases some of the easter eggs I was able to at least find on my own. If there are any Sonic references I missed in the video, let me know in the comments.

Hey everyone, thanks for mentioning any references and easter eggs that were missed in the video, I will keep note of that. Also, apologies for mistaking Emerald Hill Zone for Angel Island. I wasn't quite sure, but I will make the correction.

I believe the confusion was from the mini-series using the Emerald Hill Loop rather than the loop used on Angel Island Zone, despite the rest of the background not being Emerald Hill.
The fact that Knuckles knows the movie Mall Cop demonstrates how familiar he is with movies thanks to Sonic.

Knuckles: “This Idris Elba is would make a fine warrior in the movies.”
Who would've thought that a couple of Sonic06 references would come in handy? But this looks great. They chose the right ones.

I'm just gonna say it. Knuckles is probably possessed by Iblis like Elise was in 06, and since Shadow is coming; Mephiles(and hopefully Solaris by extension) will follow

One very subtle Easter egg people are missing is how knuckles is sitting against the tree in ep. 1 while eating the Doritos. Looks very similar to how he’s chilling in the opening scene of his story in S&K.

Another reference people missed that the mech the buyer used looks like the mechs GUN uses in SA2. Also in the show they mention the existence of bounty hunters. Which could apply to Knuckles or Rouge as well
When Wade says show them the way its a refrence to ugandan knuckles

In SatBK, Sir Lancelot is Shadow, Knuckles is Sir Gawain. The Knucksalot name sounds more like a reference to the rapper Sir Mix-alot, which was a reference to Sir Lancelot in Arthurian Myth

You missed two. In the first episode where Knuckles throws a G.U.N. soldier into an arcade cabinet, next to the destroyed one, you can see a TMNT game. Wade also has TMNT bedsheets and a pilowcase (at his mom’s house) and even a TMNT shirt!

So in this adaptation, Iblis is a monster from another planet/world/dimension, and Knuckles defeated him with his own strenght gaining control over the Flames of Disaster. This show made me notice how OP the characters are in comparison to their game counterparts (same goes for items like the rings and emeralds)

Indeed
When Wade is freeing Knuckles from the prison in episode 2, Knuckles says "oh no", which is also the meme from the Sonic adventure 1 (idk if it's intentional)
Blaze + Elise + Knuckles = THE FLAMES OF DISASTER
My favorite part is the HD cuts of the series to some low settings on a jank computer and I just thought. "Look at this youtuber making it work no matter what."
I thought Knuckles was at Angel Island since the background looks awfully like Angel Island 🏝️

That og sonic movie that came out in 96 is near and dear to my heart forever
I would consider Knuckles educating Wade on the difference between flying and gliding as a game reference
The way Knuckles dig like a drill is part of his move set in SA1 and I think Frontiers too.
The Flames of Disaster is also an actual thing from Sonic. It's what Iblis was reffered to as when it was sealed inside of Elise.
The fact that they mentioned the flames of disaster and iblis shows himself, could mean that silver and blaze COULD be a possibility in sonic 4
Good video!
