🔄 Switch between Sonic and Knuckles

The ROM hack gives you control of both heroes during the adventure.

You can switch between:

• Sonic the Hedgehog
• Knuckles the Echidna

Each character keeps the abilities from the original Sonic 3 & Knuckles.

• Sonic can use the Insta-Shield and gains shield abilities when carrying elemental shields.
• Knuckles can glide through the air and climb walls.

Changing characters at the right moment helps you take advantage of their different movement abilities.
