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.

    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.
