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.

In 2017, the game was revisited on the channel, preceded by a brief playthrough of the Sonic Crackers demo, as the twenty-second and twenty-third games in The Super Sonic Let's Play. The LP consisted of 15 episodes; it began on January 9, 2017, and concluded on January 24, 2017.
