Last thing you remember is playing some version of Knuckles Chaotix on your SEGA 32X, seeing some sort of...kingdom, and passing out. You wake up outside of this said kingdom. What the hell happened...? Behind you looks to simply be Newtrogic High Zone, but in front of you is a medieval looking fortress with a verdant glow outside of one of the windows. You step into the castle undetected, and enter the room that the green light was emanating from.

You enter, and see a strange version of Knuckles in the room. His fur is a darker red, the crescent shape on his chest is now an eye with a piercing green iris, his dreadlocks end in crimson swirls, there's nails in the back of his gloves where the spikes normally are, and his shoes have spikes on the bottom. He also seems to have a glitchy green crown on his head. He turns and gives you an annoyed look.

"How rude of you to enter one's kingdom without permission of the King."
