Sorry if I'm asking a stupid question but why does Knuckles turn blue? Can we also edit character pallets or something?

I assume you're referring to the "Blue Knuckles" that shows up as an option in the save editor and can be save edited or game genied into the game. This is an artifact of selecting a character ID that is meaningless to the game, resulting in the game falling into a state of complete confusion and giving you Knuckles' character object with Sonic's palette (to start with at least) and Tails' name on the victory screen, along with a general heap of broken.

Oh, I never knew about that, I thought it was a custom character added, some people do that with fangames posted on Youtube and I don't actually know how most of this stuff works so I was just asking a noob question. :specialed:

@Tiddles:
I've understand why the two editors aren't compatible each other:
The other editor that you use set the ending game var to 0x7F. There are 5 ending modes:
0x00 = Standard
0x01 = Ending without chaos emeralds
0x02 = Ending without super emeralds
0x03 = Full Ending
0x80 = Erased savegame.

My editor doesn't recognize 0x7F but after 2 minutes of researches I've found that Sonic 3K read only the first 2 bits and the 8th bit. I can write 0x6F, 0x17, 0x03, 0x1F and I can say that there are the same things on the game. If the value is 0x80 or more the slot will be empty. The game set only first 2 bits when you finish the game and after this I can say that the other save editor isn't 100% accurate. However I've resolved this issue and... I've implemented the double-size window

Excellent, thanks. It does indeed read that savegame nicely now.

I thought I'd give it a test run and create myself some complete save files with all emeralds. This works fine for S3&K, but the S3 save had a problem recognising that I had the emeralds - they showed up on the save screen but I couldn't turn into Super Sonic (the normal Sonic icon was used on the save, too) and giant rings still took me to special stages. I don't know if there's some other flag that needs to be set here. IIRC the other editor had some kind of Super Sonic flag, but that didn't work properly either - the save icon was right, turning super worked fine, but giant rings still acted like you needed a special stage.

Is Blue Knuckles playable by using this?

I didn't test this editor (because I know how to alter savefiles by hand so I just don't need it), but this post (on this same page) seems to be pretty self-explanatory:

Simply Blue Knuckles is a bug and I've add it on my editor.

00 = Sonic and Tails
01 = Sonic
02 = Tails
03 = Knuckles
03 > Blue Knuckles
