The Knights of the Round Table (円卓の騎士,Entaku no kishi?) are a group that appear in Sonic and the Black Knight. They are a group of knights and the lieutenants of King Arthur. Most of the members are alternate reality doppelgängers of Sonic's friends and rivals.
Not much is known about the Knights of the Round Table's past. Presumably, the group was formed by King Arthur during the period of the king's noble rule, to serve as his foremost servants and enforcers. The Knights of the Round Table themselves willingly served under King Arthur and followed his every order, bound by their honor and code of chivalry.
Despite suffering humiliating defeats at the hands of Sonic and Caliburn, the Knights do not give up. While Sonic battles King Arthur on the island of Avalon, Lancelot, Gawain, and Percival manage to track down Merlina in Camelot Castle. The Blue Blur arrives just in time to see Merlina reveal herself as the true villain: the Dark Queen. As the castle falls apart around them, Sonic and the Knights flee through Knight's Passage. In order to save the Kingdom, the former lieutenants of King Arthur agree to work with Sonic and Nimue to halt the Dark Queen's magic by activating four barrier stones. Sir Lancelot rushes to Shrouded Forest, Sir Gawain to Great Megalith, Sir Percival to The Cauldron and Sonic to Dragon's Lair.
The Knights of the Round Table watched from Nimue's pool as Sonic got brutally injured by the Dark Queen, and advised him to back down despite his refusal to give up. Upon witnessing the long-lost light of the sacred swords, the Knights of the Round Table offered their sacred swords to merge with Sonic's Caliburn, transforming Sonic and Caliburn into Excalibur Sonic and Excalibur.
After Sonic defeated Merlina, Sir Lancelot suggested that due to the disappearance of King Arthur, the Knights of the Round Table had to disband, but Caliburn had already nominated the new king: Sonic. Believing that Sonic was the true King Arthur, the Knights of the Round Table bowed down in honor in front of their new king, much to Sonic's dismay.
Interestingly, the Knights of the Round Table's original counterparts all started out as adversaries of Sonic, before being on more friendly terms with him thereafter:
