'''''Knuckles' Chaotix''''' is a [[1995]] platform game developed and published by Sega for the [[32X]]. It is a side game in the ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' franchise, featuring Knuckles the Echidna as the main character, joined by four other characters known as the "Chaotix": Mighty the Armadillo, returning from ''[[SegaSonic the Hedgehog]]'', and three newcomers in Espio, Charmy, and Vector. They work together in order to defeat Dr. Robotnik and Metal Sonic, who are attempting to obtain six powerful "Chaos Rings" that will give them control over a mysterious island. During gameplay, two characters are connected to each other via a tether, and the player must make use of rubber band physics to navigate through the stages. The game was played on ''[[The D-Pad]]'' in [[2011]], preceded by a quickly-abandoned LP of the [[2010]] [[Wii]] game ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode I]]'', with the two games serving as the fifth and sixth (and final) games in ''[[Sonic Week]]''. The entire LP was recorded in a single session and uploaded to the now defunct dpadup.com website as one long episode on June 25, 2011. It was later edited into 16 shorter episodes and released on YouTube on weekdays from October 14 to November 5, 2011.

'''''Knuckles' Chaotix''''' is a [[1995]] platform game developed and published by Sega for the [[32X]]. It is a spin-off in the ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' franchise, featuring Knuckles the Echidna as the main character, along with four other characters known as the "Chaotix", and two of Robotnik's creations. In a unique gameplay twist, the main characters are tethered together in pairs, and must utilize "rubber band" physics to progress through the stages. It was originally developed as '''''Sonic Crackers''''' with Sonic and Tails in the lead roles, but was later re-purposed to feature Knuckles. The game was played by [[The D-Pad]] in [[2011]], after the fifth game in ''[[Sonic Week]]'', ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode I]]'', proved unplayable due to a serious frame rate issue. ''Sonic 4'' was hastily replaced with ''Knuckles' Chaotix'', which acted as the sixth and final game in the series. The LP (including the failed attempt at ''Sonic 4'') was recorded in a single session, and released on The D-Pad's then-website, dpadup.com, as one long episode on June 25, 2011. Later, this video was edited into 16 shorter episodes, and uploaded to The D-Pad's YouTube channel between October 14 and November 4, 2011.
+
The game was revisited on ''The D-Pad'' in [[2017]], preceded by a brief LP of '''''Sonic Crackers''''', a [[1994]] [[Sega Genesis]] prototype build of ''Knuckles' Chaotix'' featuring Sonic and Tails as the main characters, as the twenty-second and twenty-third games in ''[[The Super Sonic Let's Play]]''. The LP consisted of 15 episodes, released on weekdays from January 9 to January 24, 2017.

Knuckles' Chaotix is a 1995 platform game developed and published by Sega for the 32X. It is a side game in the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise, featuring Knuckles the Echidna as the main character, joined by four other characters known as the "Chaotix": Mighty the Armadillo, returning from SegaSonic the Hedgehog, and three newcomers in Espio, Charmy, and Vector. They work together in order to defeat Dr. Robotnik and Metal Sonic, who are attempting to obtain six powerful "Chaos Rings" that will give them control over a mysterious island. During gameplay, two characters are connected to each other via a tether, and the player must make use of rubber band physics to navigate through the stages. The game was played on The D-Pad in 2011, preceded by a quickly-abandoned LP of the 2010 Wii game Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode I, with the two games serving as the fifth and sixth (and final) games in Sonic Week. The entire LP was recorded in a single session and uploaded to the now defunct dpadup.com website as one long episode on June 25, 2011. It was later edited into 16 shorter episodes and released on YouTube on weekdays from October 14 to November 5, 2011.

The game was revisited on The D-Pad in 2017, preceded by a brief LP of Sonic Crackers, a 1994 Sega Genesis prototype build of Knuckles' Chaotix featuring Sonic and Tails as the main characters, as the twenty-second and twenty-third games in The Super Sonic Let's Play. The LP consisted of 15 episodes, released on weekdays from January 9 to January 24, 2017.
