Why is sonic blue, why does tails have two tails, why can sonic use chaos control using a fake emerald? These are questions we ask but don't really want answers to.
The first two don't need answers, but for that last one: The fake emerald Tails created in SA2 had the same energy output as a real chaos emerald, but lower energy capacity and a reversed polarity. The reversed polarity only comes into play when used in conjunction with a real emerald(presumably to devastating effect) and the lower capacity could be a non-factor, as Shadow uses a single emerald to chaos control multiple times without exhausting it, and the fake's power is completely used while exhausting Sonic to make up the difference. Yes, you can scream "NERD" at me now if you wish...
I love how you incorporate magic into your theories. Really sets you apart from *certain other theorists* who just want to ignore magic and in-world-rules to explain how things would work if they were in 'our' world. Great video!
I'm not too big of a fan of him implementing magic into his theories, but after seeing this...yeah, it does hold water. I always felt like Knuckles got some of his power from the Master Emerald.
And how do we know Knuckles wont have any offspring to carry out his job? Im not a shipper by any means but...its possible. Eggman was confirmed to have a far decendant from the future in Sonic Rivals so...
InfernoBot6 I think DarkDerpSkillz is talking about how there’s an “and Knuckles” mode actually in the game, so you can literally play as Knuckles and Knuckles.
It still plays awful , played it 2 days ago for the lols before mania and childhood nostalgia and shadow runs like he put some butter on his skates, and all levels feel like a ice level.
3:06 If Knuckles pulls some energy from the Master Emerald to glide, and the Master Emerald's power nullifies the power of the Chaos Emeralds, then wouldn't that explain how he managed to punch Sonic out of his super form?
??Lockstin...........He's a red Echidna from a tribe of ancient moefoes that tampered with the infinite powers of the universe. His gliding is the least of our worries.
I think segascourge's theory is the one that makes more sense he stated that the earth's atmosphere in sonic is 2x the size of ours that would explain why sonic and friends jump so high fly and would even explain the big size of the animals (well it would explain charmy the bee i dont know if it would explain the others ) And one last thing in sonic game canon the world is not mobius Archie/SatAm and the games are not in the same universe
Guy ultimatecyberdog well i may have got it something wrong but the base of the theory was something like that also i forgot didn't more oxigen would make humans more strong or fast or something like that ?
There's a force in the extended lore called "Chaos energy" it's the energy that the Master Emerald and Chaos Emeralds rely on, thus it's always been my thought process that the Echidnas of Sonic world, being the ones who guard and watch over the Master and Chaos Emeralds, were granted heightened magical abilities and are able to tap into said force at will.
I love how you put lore and magic with your videos, makes feel like you respect the series and franchise as a whole. I love your videos probably more than any other theorist out there. Keep making those awesome videos!
He glides with the same physics that allows Tails to fly, Tails breaks the law with his flying by how his tails don't twist up or catch on each other as they spin around on their fixed skeleton position.
It's simple, it's his 'super power' in the same way Sonic has his super speed. Probably gained via his proximity to the Master Emerald. Like a sort of proto Super Sonic flight.
Jamaican flag colours are Black, Green, Gold. You're thinking of the Rastafarian colours and those colours are based on the Ethiopian Flag. The more you know.
Well, I mean his main point was that it shouldn't be considered as bad as 06' which you gotta admit it's better than 06'. (I 100%ted shadow the hedgehog and I have no regrets) :p
Watching some of the new Sonic Boom cartoon it seems that Knuckles ability to fly comes from the bliss not knowing what science is or the law of nature.
Yes, you just have to pause then jump then pause then jump then pause then jump then pause then jump then pause then jump then pause then jump then pause then jump then pause then jump then pause then jump then pause then jump then pause then jump then pause then jump then pause then jump then pause then jump then *BREAK THE GAME*
He has part of its energy in him and is linked to the master emerald, he explains that with the Pumpkin Hill line '"the great emerald's power allows me to feel", at that point the Master Emerald is indeed shattered but he still has power from it due to his link, it's probably something that was given to him as soon as he became the guardian of the Master Emerald I feel like that last bit could make for a cool theory, like if there's a ritual when you become the Master Emerald's guadian (though Tikal does seem to guard the Master Emerald without much of a ritual, she just kind of approaches it and gains its trust)
I musst say that Knuckles is not in every game the strongest character: Sonic the Fighters. Even if this game is something different, he's still the first and easiest character. But this video is about the question how knuckles flies. So...great video!
speaking as an obvious sonic fan this reason is actually canon in the comics and also the reason Knuckles is as powerful as he is...(training aside) great job figuring this out Gnoggin!
This also lines up with the recent movie universe. In Sonic 2 (Before he finds the emerald) Knuckles has never been shown to glide. In the trailer for the new TV show though, He's shown to glide with Wade on his back.
If Knuckles does gain direct power from the Master Emerald, that may explain how he was able to defeat Super Sonic. If the Master Emerald is meant to nullify the Chaos Emeralds, then it would help because that's exactly what Knuckles did.
I have a headcanon reasoning for his flying powers. I say he has the ability to alter mass. Hence the super punch and glide. But this is dope too. Makes ya think.
Was smart enough to meditate with the Master Emerald to gain power... but not smart enough to use his knowledge from the Master Emerald to make booby traps to protect the Master Emerald.
Good video, but one small correction It's never been said nor implied that Tikal is an ancestor of Knuckles, not to mention the fact that she was 14 when she sealed herself into the Master Emerald with Chaos.
Knuckles: *is based on an Australian animal, has an American accent, has a somewhat Jamaican aspects to his design and has Mayan ancestors.* Also Knuckles: “Mr worldwide”
Don't want to sound crazy but i think Knuckles Gliding is a pretty bad ability for he's charcter (yes) i know that he lives on Angel Island which is a floating rock but i think it would be a lot cooler for him to start digging more in the games and nerf the glide Digging punching and so on makes more sense for he's charcter Knuckles is designed on he's fists and almost every ability he ha's is connected to he's fists like Punching digging drill diving and so on i think that changing he's moveset to a more ground type charcter with a dig ability and "punch combos" would 1. Make it easier for him to be in sonic levels eithout breaking them it would give sonic team an easier way to make a good level for all playable charcters without having to adjust the level design 2. It would make him stand out more like for example chsrcters like Rouge Tails and Cream would feel more unique with a stronger focus on other Knuckles abilitis 3. It would give the player a better choice of playable charcters let's say you have a Sonic game like Sonic DreamTeam where Many similar charcters are in like rouge and knuckles Cream and Tails and so on and you have a mission where you gotta escape an active volcano and find 2 keys while avoiding the lava 1 key is inte sky and one is on the ground the ground ha's a lot more enemies but the sky ha's more plattforming You can for example take the key on the ground with knuckles but later switch to rogue or Tails to take other one in the sky i also want to add that giving Knuckles a better purpous that feels more unique is going to show off in the games that's the reason boom Knuckles was so hated Knuckles got the "purpous" to be the idiot and that's why the fans stsrted to dislike he's charcter i want Knuckles to be the Brave and strong charcter that can have funny situations like Knuckles in the Sonic movie but i want this to work with modern Knuckles i feel like the glide is so random and i also feel like it takes away much of he's moveset i dont want to make Sonic fans angry but this is what i feel [I just want to add that I think the glide can be used in games but with atleast a nerf so he's other abilitis can be shown off more and so other charcters *Rouge* can feel more unique] thank you for your time ❤
According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way an echidna should be able to fly. The echidna, of course, flies anyway.
Niklas Universe OH MY GOD
Well, he is rougher like the rest of them The best of them.
tougher than knuckles
Because Echidnas don't care what humans think
To be fair though, no-one understands why bird or plane wings allow flight.
Why is sonic blue, why does tails have two tails, why can sonic use chaos control using a fake emerald? These are questions we ask but don't really want answers to.
Tails having two tails makes sense but everything else is just confusing.
sebash789 Tails will have 9 tails in a thousand years
Sonic is blue because sega wanted to have a mascot that woulf match their already created logo
The first two don't need answers, but for that last one: The fake emerald Tails created in SA2 had the same energy output as a real chaos emerald, but lower energy capacity and a reversed polarity. The reversed polarity only comes into play when used in conjunction with a real emerald(presumably to devastating effect) and the lower capacity could be a non-factor, as Shadow uses a single emerald to chaos control multiple times without exhausting it, and the fake's power is completely used while exhausting Sonic to make up the difference.

Great video!
*cough GameTheory cough*
but that is wat they try to do see if it works in our world
MrServantRider
Magic is science technically.
Just unexplained science.
Tobacco Marshall
Exactly.
I'm not too big of a fan of him implementing magic into his theories, but after seeing this...yeah, it does hold water. I always felt like Knuckles got some of his power from the Master Emerald.
But their is one theory about knuckles though...
Does knuckles chuckle?
some show knuck norris's chuckles can cure cancer. too bad he never chuckled
I'm knuckles I don't chuckle I flex my knuckles
Not really
@super falcon 65 No, he's snickering. Completely different.
ne he laughs
I always thought he got the power to glide from the master emerald. is that weird?
Same. It just made the most sense.
Yeah. I mean how else would he be able to do it? Does He have Magical Gloves or something?
Nathaniel Doerr it is, he has Chaos Energy in him
Nathaniel Doerr that explains pretty much everything, like the fact why he can punch the super out Of super sonic.
It makes sense
This is what the game theorists used to be
Souless Phoenix no, super early game theory used be pretty bad, even Gnoggin used to be pretty bad.
Gnoggin
& Knuckles.
Jack/John Carpenter Knuckles 3 & Knuckles 3
Jack/John Carpenter LONG HAIR = GLIDE somehow
& knuckles
and knuckles and knuckles and knuckles and knuckles
And knuckles and knuckles
Wait spiders can fly,lock your doors
JUST SOME
And snakes and lock your windows
Does anyone else wonder who will watch the Master Emerald when Knuckles die?
good question.......i have no idea
Raymarko J. Armstrong Tikal
Wrench Tikal is from the past. So she'll already be dead by then Knuckles die.
if Chronicles is canon..........
Shade.
If not......
Sonic.
And how do we know Knuckles wont have any offspring to carry out his job? Im not a shipper by any means but...its possible. Eggman was confirmed to have a far decendant from the future in Sonic Rivals so...
He pauses and jumps again. IT'S THAT SIMPLE.
Wait... did you say... GLIDING SPIDERS!? WE'RE DOOM!!!
And I'm Jonathan
Hello Doom, I'm Rougher than the rest of them!
I'm Wolfenstein, how are you doing today?
QUICK! GET THE BLOWTORCH! WE NEED TO KILL ALL THE SPIDERS!!!!!! 🕷🕷🕷🔥🔥🔥
The True Weeb Master I may have seen one, now I now for sure I wasn't imagining it
How does Knuckles glide?
& Knuckles
Knuckles:BEHOLD I CAN FLY!!
I want to play as Knuckles in Sonic Mania more that Sonic...
And Knuckles.
InfernoBot6 well, ya can.
DarkDerpSkillz I said MORE than Sonic which implies that I already knew that.
InfernoBot6 I think DarkDerpSkillz is talking about how there’s an “and Knuckles” mode actually in the game, so you can literally play as Knuckles and Knuckles.
Faith the Strange thanks
Oh no
finally someone else who enjoyed shadow the hedgehog take out the absurd story and you have a pretty good time
Sonic 06 is still better...
Half Blind Productions I wish I could try shadow the hedgehog 😭 it looks really fun. I miss playing my sonic games
Its...not that fun. That entire clusterfuck they call a story is the worst Sonic story ever. And yes I've seen the entirety of Sonic 06's story.
It still plays awful , played it 2 days ago for the lols before mania and childhood nostalgia and shadow runs like he put some butter on his skates, and all levels feel like a ice level.
Half Blind Productions I really love that game
0:05 OMG! SOMEONE WHO ACTUALLY DOESNT HATE SHADOW THE HEDGEHOG FINALLY!
3:06 If Knuckles pulls some energy from the Master Emerald to glide, and the Master Emerald's power nullifies the power of the Chaos Emeralds, then wouldn't that explain how he managed to punch Sonic out of his super form?
Lore momment
I think he spreads out his dreads to glide
5:37 That WAS a planet, not a death egg.
thats no moon...
it was little planet from Sonic CD
@@probablyseth3565 cause Eggman peed on it
Knuckles flies because he's Knuckles and he don't chuckle.
but what about the shoes does it make him fly?
I always thought it was his huge knuckles allowing him to fall with style. I mean, when he glides he does the Superman pose, arms out and stuff.
I'd challenge him to a flying contest, but I don't want to get a _knuckle sandwich_
LOL
3:12 That is actually what the original Superman did.
No one mentions how Tails' tails can somehow spin around!? like... does he have some rotating ball in the pelvis!?
Knuckles just uses the power of the "Wae of the Davel"
??Lockstin...........He's a red Echidna from a tribe of ancient moefoes that tampered with the infinite powers of the universe. His gliding is the least of our worries.
it's simple... Knuckles is a garchomp.. he digs, has spikes for hands, and CAN GLIDE!
OBluestreak Z na Garchomps are Dragons Knuckles is an Echidna tho he could be related to them...
I think segascourge's theory is the one that makes more sense he stated that the earth's atmosphere in sonic is 2x the size of ours that would explain why sonic and friends jump so high fly and would even explain the big size of the animals (well it would explain charmy the bee i dont know if it would explain the others )
And one last thing in sonic game canon the world is not mobius Archie/SatAm and the games are not in the same universe
Charizardinho Gamer But that doubles the air resistance, making it HARDER to jump high. Not easier.
Guy ultimatecyberdog well i may have got it something wrong but the base of the theory was something like that also i forgot didn't more oxigen would make humans more strong or fast or something like that ?
Izuka said in a recent Forces interview that there are actually 2 worlds in the Sonic series. But I don't think they've totally figured them out yet.
Charizardinho Gamer I searched up Segascourage on TH-cam and nothing. Who tf is that.
whateon Sega Scourge.
According to developers, he glides by catching air under his dreads. Though they realized how it sounded, and then just said it was "Echidna magic."
His uses the power of his rad red dreads
There's a force in the extended lore called "Chaos energy" it's the energy that the Master Emerald and Chaos Emeralds rely on, thus it's always been my thought process that the Echidnas of Sonic world, being the ones who guard and watch over the Master and Chaos Emeralds, were granted heightened magical abilities and are able to tap into said force at will.
KNOCK KNOCK.
...It's knuckles.
PowahSlap Entertainmint I love your video

Knuckles who?
It's Knuckles & Knuckles.
2:22. “But surprisingly they aren’t able to fly “ 💀

He doesn't fly.
He falls...with style.
True
He glides with the same physics that allows Tails to fly, Tails breaks the law with his flying by how his tails don't twist up or catch on each other as they spin around on their fixed skeleton position.
Real answer:His nuts are so big that they defy the laws of gravity and physics and give him the ability to fly.
McPlays _ like the magical tanuki
so he'd trap the air under his...
YGaming Sensei yes
He just spins his four mecha penises like Tails' tails.
That is not a sentence I expected to type ever.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Theory: knuckles is a robot, the little crest on his stomach is a button that turns him into his true form, an attack helicopter
Ahem....he glides.
av4d thanks for watching the video
av4d Welp someone didn't watch more than half a minute of the video
@@theimmigrant7953 he is still gliding
Getting his powers from the master emerald would also explain how he is able to knock sonic out of super form.
Look up pics of male echidnas and make a part 2.
partyguy_49 oh god
Cianitris Khhours Did you look up pics?
It's simple, it's his 'super power' in the same way Sonic has his super speed. Probably gained via his proximity to the Master Emerald. Like a sort of proto Super Sonic flight.
3:00 Um... That's a G.U.N Robot not one of Eggman's robots. (Sorry if that sound like a nitpick)
He doesn’t fly, he *IS* fly
Jamaican flag colours are Black, Green, Gold. You're thinking of the Rastafarian colours and those colours are based on the Ethiopian Flag.
The more you know.
"The only people who should be able to fly are Rouge the Bat and the tiny bird, flickie."
Let's ignore the fact that charmy is a bee.
Lol, "Shadow the Hedgehog is a good game"! That might be the best joke I've ever heard!
ROASTED!!
It WAS a good game. People are just too narrow minded to see it.
The Iranian Liberal Or, OR they have an opinion. Just think about that.
Well, I mean his main point was that it shouldn't be considered as bad as 06' which you gotta admit it's better than 06'. (I 100%ted shadow the hedgehog and I have no regrets) :p

0:50 hahaha okay you got me. That deserves a sub
ROLLIN AROUND AT THE SPEED OF SOUND
I love how you explained using in-universe terms, instead of twisting things to fit some wild theory.
Watching some of the new Sonic Boom cartoon it seems that Knuckles ability to fly comes from the bliss not knowing what science is or the law of nature.
I never knew a video about a flying animal with dreadlocks could be so good
I really love the new Video style! Keep it up!

Thank you for proving to my brother knuckles fly
Wait knuckles can fly/glide?!??!

Yes
Wait, you live in a cave and dont have any idea of the sonic characters?

*BREAK THE GAME*
-slaps face-
remember when game theory was about physics and math.
keep making content @Lockstin & Gnoggin
and ill keep watching you.
are you telling me bees can`t fly
Bruh
They cannot glide
I lost it with the buzz lightyear. I pictured seeing boom knuckles saying that. Thank you for the laugh, I needed that.
But if he uses the power of the master emerald then how does he glide in sa1 &2 when it's shattered?
The master emerald is still the master emerald, shattered or not.
He has part of its energy in him and is linked to the master emerald, he explains that with the Pumpkin Hill line '"the great emerald's power allows me to feel", at that point the Master Emerald is indeed shattered but he still has power from it due to his link, it's probably something that was given to him as soon as he became the guardian of the Master Emerald
I feel like that last bit could make for a cool theory, like if there's a ritual when you become the Master Emerald's guadian (though Tikal does seem to guard the Master Emerald without much of a ritual, she just kind of approaches it and gains its trust)
Maybe he uses the energy of the nearby pieces
under the water he's still glide
2:48 Do you no de wae?
Lockstin does the theories no one else is willing to do
Knuckles is Jesus or he hacks
It's worth pointing out that Chaos can also glide, at least in his zero form.
Umm he actually glides. He really can't fly. Please change the title on this video.
Erwin Flores I was going to put that
Lockstin mentions that Knuckles only glides early on, and anyone with passing familiarity with the character knows what he means anyway.
Erwin Flores He flies in the OVA...
Erwin Flores is triggered.
Lol, he actually changed it
Nice jab at Sonic Boom's version of Knuckles with the fart noise at 2:52 :D
And knuckles
knucles has magic powers
Ur smart
3:16, Aku: you can fly?! Knuckles: no, jump good...
Pin me or i'll make ugandan knuckles stalk you.
Huh, pretty good! What's not good is I once saw a spider seemingly glide outside my house...
Do you know de whe
Why is this the first comment I see when it isn't popular? Bruh

Rule 34 sonic comic makers: *spit-take* “Did you say ancestor?!”
I found it! Knuckles flies by fart!😁
him gliding still makes more sense than the affront to physics known as double jumping.
He doesn't fly he glides
LMAO, I was going to make a Sonic Boom joke, but you already had it covered, nice!!! 😆
Hey KUCKLES your flying!
This isnt flying this is falling. With style
This also lines up with the recent movie universe. In Sonic 2 (Before he finds the emerald) Knuckles has never been shown to glide. In the trailer for the new TV show though, He's shown to glide with Wade on his back.

Well if there was a giant red echidna running around my house, I wouldn't be surprised if it began to fly.
I have a headcanon reasoning for his flying powers.
I say he has the ability to alter mass. Hence the super punch and glide.
But this is dope too. Makes ya think.
Was smart enough to meditate with the Master Emerald to gain power... but not smart enough to use his knowledge from the Master Emerald to make booby traps to protect the Master Emerald.
the knuckles thing with the emralds was for the old intro to angel island where he surfs into angel island rather than going super and flying there
In Wild Canyon, there might be some evidence that the Echidna race takes some inspiration from Egyptian culture as well.
Good video, but one small correction
It's never been said nor implied that Tikal is an ancestor of Knuckles, not to mention the fact that she was 14 when she sealed herself into the Master Emerald with Chaos.
This channelis like game theory but with solid theories and a host that isn't obnoxious.
I came here from supersonics stream and asked how knuckles could fly, then someone said I should look here, and here I am now, watching the video
Knuckles: *is based on an Australian animal, has an American accent, has a somewhat Jamaican aspects to his design and has Mayan ancestors.*
Also Knuckles: “Mr worldwide”

I love Knuckles I think he's awesome ❤
In the sonic comics, knuckles says his dreadlocks are the reason he can glide, when he lost his powers his dreadlocks got smaller.
