Knuckles' Chaotix

Knuckles' Chaotix is one of the few Sonic games that doesn't feature Sonic himself. The story differs between the English and Japanese versions of the instruction manual that came with the game, but they both involve Dr. Robotnik trapping Knuckles' friends on a special island. Knuckles must now save his friends and discover the mystery behind the island. The gameplay is similar to that of earlier Sonic games, with the added gimmick of being bound to a partner with an elastic tether, giving the game its reputation for wonky rubber band physics. After each stage, the next level and your next partner are selected via roulette.
Tuffcracker improves on their previous run by 24.5 seconds. For all the details on the glitches used and the routes taken, you can read the author's notes.

Tuffcracker completes the game while going for all 6 Chaos Rings to achieve the best ending in this game.
