is a fictional character in Sega's ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' series of video games. He is a red anthropomorphic echidna who is determined and serious but sometimes gullible. He can glide and climb up walls, and is a powerful fighter due to his spiked gloves. He serves as the guardian of the Master Emerald, a huge gemstone that controls the series' integral Chaos Emeralds. Knuckles debuted as an antagonist in ''Sonic the Hedgehog 3'' in 1994; Doctor Eggman tricks him into opposing Sonic and Tails. He first became playable in ''Sonic & Knuckles'' later that year; he learns of Eggman's trickery and teams up with Sonic during that game's events. Since then he has appeared in dozens of playable and non-playable roles, as well as in several series of comic books, Western animated television, and Japanese anime. He is one of the series' most popular and recognizable characters. His reception from critics has been mostly positive; he has been praised frequently as tough and cool-looking. However, some critics have voiced disapproval at the series' extensive cast of characters and singled Knuckles out as ushering them in. His likeness has frequently appeared in ''Sonic'' merchandise. ==Conception and creation== During conception of ''Sonic the Hedgehog 3'', the development team wanted to create a new rival for Sonic. The final design of Knuckles was the result of dozens of possible designs inspired by numerous different animals.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Secrets of Sonic Team: Interview with Roger Hector, former Director of Sega Technical Institute )〕 The emphasis of the character was to break walls.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Sega.com )〕 He was originally planned to have a Jamaican accent and a name called 'Dreds' referring to his dreadlocks. Knuckles was created by developer Takashi Yuda, who never intended him to be any more than a "supporting character." Knuckles was introduced in ''Sonic the Hedgehog 3'' as an "intimidator" because of his powerful abilities. He was given a headlining role in the next game, ''Sonic & Knuckles'', where he made his first appearance as a playable character. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Knuckles the Echidna」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
