Isolated Island

Isolated Island, also known as the Practice Stage, is the starter stage in ''Knuckles' Chaotix, for the Sega 32X. The stage is simply a starter level with no Badniks, Hazards or Bosses, allowing the player to practice the new gameplay feature introduced in Knuckles' Chaotix.

When selecting Scenario mode for the first time, the starts off here as Knuckles, after a few seconds into the stage, the player stumbles across Dr. Robotnik', The Doctor, shocked by your entrance, flees using his trusted creation, Metal Sonic. It is then revealed that Dr. Robotnik had captured Espio in his machine, Knuckles is then joined by the Chameleon by the Ring Fore Bond. After a small tutorial, the player then has to complete all levels, whilst getting to grips with the new gameplay mechanics, in the Stage one after another, keeping all the rings. The Stage cannot end unless the player goes through the Giant Ring into the Special Stage at the end of the stage.

When selecting the Training option, in the main menu, the player has access to four Isolated Island levels, these levels are greatly different to the one's featured in Scenario mode, but maintain the same back ground and textures. All of these levels contain a Continues loop, forcing the player to find alternate means out of the level. These levels end once the player reaches a strange looking flower at the end of the stage.

Trivia
Despite being a Training stage, some of the levels contain gimmicks not found in any their Attractions, mainly a water slide.
