Doesn't having Knukles and Tails together in one level kind of break the game? Knuckles' gimped jump is what separates him from Sonic and forces him to take alternate paths, so having Tails be able to airlift him kind of defeats that purpose, doesn't it?

Just... Don't take the Sonic routes?

Knuckles gimped jump? He's always been better because he can glide.

Tails can't fly in Sonic 2.

He can't get to floating platforms/platforms not attached to walls

The HD remakes (and by extension the Origins version) gives Tails the ability to fly as well as the ability to carry Player 1 in single player.

Sonic can't either if he doesn't have the fire or lightning shield. In fact before he ever got the drop dash he kind of sucked next to tails and knuckles because they had his speed plus abilities to help them pass a ton of the level and its hazards. Sonic's best thing was being a boss and enemy killer with his insta shield. He needed drop dash so that he can now keep up and perhaps surpass those guys in 2D like he always should have.

Knuckles has roughly 2/3rds the jump height of everyone else.
He's hard mode.

Knuckles in Sonic 2 is not the intended method of playing Sonic 2.
It's like bonus content, you play it first with Sonic then enjoy and fuck around with other characters

Proof? I've played these games a thousand times and he jumps just as well as the others stop fucking lying.

You have literally never played the game.

That's how they force Knuckles into his own routes, otherwise he could just ignore his routes and go down the Sonic and Tails paths.

Are you serious? He jumps lower but can glide/climb. It isn't really hard mode or anything, as climbing + gliding can let you skip a lot of shit, but it's different.

It's not a hard game to begin with.

Retard.

Point at this faker and laugh

With this in mind is there a reasonably explanation as to why Knuckles isn't in CD?
>inb4 continuity
Tails shouldn't be there either and he shares an ending with Sonic.
There's mods for the decompilations of CD that add Knuckles and he works perfectly fine.

Retard, bait, or just confused?

It was a gimmick sale, there was no thoughts to design.

Haven't played CD to completion myself but could it have something to do with the level design? Maybe his gimped jump and wall-climbing wouldn't be good for it?

The explanation is they couldn't be assed to give him the unique sprites for things CD has that the other games don't, especially for the CD Special Stage
Tails already had that extra work put in for the mobile port, so that's why Tails is even in it at all
Nothing to do with the game or the level design, just good ol not wanting to bother

Ok looks like is the actual answer

1. Barely a noticeable difference
2. You purposefully didn't jump as high with him anyways

>You purposefully didn't jump as high with him anyways
Well, submit your own proof showing that Knuckles can jump as high as Sonic.

That's nice. Go try it on the final boss

Don't bother, he's just gonna do the same thing but have Sonic purposely not jump as high

But I've already posted my video showing Sonic's jump height.

>admitting that user didn't jump as high as he should have with knuckles

This whole thread is bait.

The only thing getting admitted here is your ass getting admitted into a mental hospital tonight, schizo

Go play the games yourself as opposed to watching some faggot play them. And don't say some bullshit excuse about forgetting. It's impossible not to notice if you've actually played the games.

>having Tails be able to airlift
Tails is fucking useless in 2

The remake lets him fly and carry Sonic in single player just like he does in Mania

They literally play the exact same only knuckles and tails have better abilities. Quit pretending

>Remake
There're no character exclusive routes in 2
Tails
Is
Fucking
Useless

Can't wait to use this in 3
