As the camera pans skyward, Knuckles reflects on his solidary life and independent nature. Helpless in his predicament, Knuckles screams into the sky. When Knuckles awakens, he discovers that his digitized body is trapped inside a holographic cybersphere, stranded on an island covered in desert as far as the eye can see. Knuckles confidently and quickly dispatches them, only to be beset by a titanic beast and a mysterious girl before blacking out. He initially assumes that he is caught up in another one of Eggman's schemes, but his thoughts are cut short by the appearance of multiple unfamiliar enemies. Knuckles soon finds himself standing atop a floating island overlooking a bizarre, darkened landscape. His curiosity piqued, Knuckles places the gear inside a matching cavity within the monolith, activating it and causing him to vanish. After destroying the rubble and sending the Chao on its way, Knuckles notices something else hidden inside: a strange, gear-shaped object, and even stranger still, a stone monolith appearing even older than the ruins themselves. While exploring the zone, Knuckles happens upon a Chao struggling to retrieve a stone mask from underneath thick rubble. Seeking answers, Knuckles heads to the Sky Sanctuary to investigate.
Although confident in his ability to fulfill his duty, he continues to ponder the secrets of the Master Emerald and the reason why he was given this task, wondering if the sins of his ancestors are why. On a lone, rainy day, Knuckles the Echidna stands guard before the Master Emerald at the Altar of Emerald. A sudden discovery is about to turn his world upside down.

There is still no word on what the reward for completing this mini-game will be, but enemies and collected items will supposedly be restored across the game world. Sonic has to collect certain meteor fragments before they can change color, which contributes to a slot machine-like mechanic in the corner of the screen. Lastly, Sonic Frontiers will reportedly feature a new minigame called Starfall, which can be played at random times during the game. Sonic’s many new combat options in Sonic Frontiers will provide a variety of ways for the Blue Blur to damage this new foe, which rewards players with a portal token upon its defeat. This boss is described as being shaped like a shark, with a tail that Sonic needs to grab onto using a quick-time event. According to these reports, an animated Sonic Frontiers tie-in short will give further insight into how Knuckles ended up on the Starfall Islands.įreeing Knuckles might be easier said than done in Sonic Frontiers, as The Enemy’s post also mentions a boss encounter that takes place during the search for Knuckles’ Memory Tokens. However, it seems that Knuckles finds himself imprisoned just like Amy, and can only be freed once Sonic finds a certain number of Memory Tokens that are hidden throughout the island.
