Sonic 3K - Huge inconsistency

uuhhh your not supposed to fight the boss as knuckles

 

Knuckles is supposed to use a teleporter below the boss area. Remember where Knuckles flips the lifts on when you're Sonic? It's beyond that wall, and there is another lift below that Knuckles uses to access this area.

 

Carnival Night zone 2 with Knuckles is damn easy, with no boss fight, and take you 2 minutes by taking the way below. You only have to break the wall at the right, once you are underwater at the beginning of the act. At the end, you are teleported. It's the direct opposite of Sonic way, that is long, with a boss fight, and pretty hard, at least for a beginneer.

I took the Sonic passage with Knuckes once too. Well, there is nothing too exciting.

 

Lemme guess, you glided after you left the speed boosteres at the begining of the act and went up the elevator thing.



Yeah, they forgot to block off this path, you're suppost to go down where water used to be on Sonic's path.

 

Isn't there a bug that prevents you to use the teleporter sometimes?

 

If you try going there as Sonic, it won't work. The object is programmed to check the character used. If you're Knuckles, it'll work. If not, it'll abort the object function.

 

Of course, I meant playing as Knuckles. I remember being forced to fight the boss, but perhaps it was just a debug-related bug.

 

Oo;; Works for me just fine.

 

...really? Every time I tried using that teleporter, it never worked for me.

Remember, this is CNZ. Are you sure?

 

If you enter that area with the teleporter from above (the vertical gravity column thingy that Knuckles activates in Sonic's game), the egg prison won't appear and the teleporter won't work. It's only if you come from below, which is Knuckles intended path. And onyl Knuckles for that matter, if you try with Sonic it won't work, and if you move I believe it'll crash the game.

Interestingly enough, with Super Sonic it's legitametely possible to enter from below using knuckles path without using debug, though I suppose that's known already. Just a fun design oversight I like to exploit sometimes for fun in my completed save file XD

 

Nice to know there was some explanation behind it.

 

Yeah, positive. I never feel like going through half the level so I just use the second controller and fly Sonic up there via Tails. I'll try to get some pics up later tonight.
