When Knuckles arrives to investigate, he finds Espio the Chameleon being held captive in Dr.

However, thanks primarily to the failure of the 32X, the title has largely been doomed to obscurityand SEGA’s continued refusal to port or re-release the game to modern consoles means that the only way to play the game is by using emulators or spending extortionate prices.ĭoctor Eggman has discovered the existence of seven Chaos Rings on Carnival Island and, true to form, begun transforming the island and its inhabitants into robotic slaves with the aid of Metal Sonic. The game, which was Knuckles’ one and only solo title, also saw the return and redesign of obscure Sonic character Mighty the Armadilloand Vector the Crocodile into fully playable characters. Regardless, one title that sticks out to me from the 32X library is Knuckles’ Chaotix initially designed as Sonic Crackers, the game’s big mechanic was that players controlled two characters simultaneously and were joined by a special, elastic “Combi Ring”.

With the benefit of hindsight, I truly believe that SEGA would have fared much better had they simply continued with the Mega-CD, producing a combination Mega Drive/CD console and releasing all 32X and Saturn games on this platform rather than wasting time, effort, and money on expensive add-ons. Expensive peripherals like the Mega-CD and 32X contributed to SEGA’s eventual decline.
