Trivia[]

  • While Knuckles is a nomad and loves nature, he does not know how to survive in it.[22]
  • Knuckles may have a learning disorder. This is evident as he had many teachers, but could not retain their lessons.[23]
    • Knuckles may have dyslexia, as in addition to his illiteracy, he exhibits many traits that are common among dyslexics. A few examples are his inability to tell left from right, his gift for music, and his inability to understand verbal explanations.
  • Knuckles is illiterate, even though he owns reading glasses.[24]
  • Knuckles mentions he has a grandmother, but it is unknown if she is alive or deceased. (This also makes him the third tv counterpart to have a known relative alongside his Underground counterpart and his X counterpart)
  • Knuckles claims he cannot brush his teeth or tie his shoes without aid.[25]
  • Knuckles learned how to ride a bike, wrap his sports tape and count from Tails[2][26], although he cannot count past three.[11][27]
  • Knuckles can skillfully play the piano and on drums.[24][28]
  • It is implied that Knuckles is allergic to fish saliva.[29]
  • Knuckles claims to have studied air conditioning and refrigerator repair, specifically from "Sonic School of Impressing the Ladies."[30]
  • It has been revealed that Knuckles cannot cook.[31]
  • Knuckles was voted "sensitive soul of the month" by Hulking Brutes magazine.[32]
  • Knuckles is not permitted inside the library due to his signature move, the ground pound.[33]

  • Knuckles has a habit of digging tunnels everywhere.[13]
  • Knuckles is a feminist, claiming that, despite being a meathead, he still respects women at the utmost degree.[13]
  • In Sonic Boom #2, Knuckles is shown gliding through midair despite being established as incapable of this skill.[35] According to Evan Stanley, this was because the comic staff was not told by Sega about Knuckles' inability to glide when that issue was written.[36]
  • In Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal, one of the collectible toys depicts a protein shake, which is described as "grape flavored with notes of tacos, specially formulated for echidnas". This implies that Knuckles' affinity for grapes was carried over into the Sonic Boom continuity.
