HEY GUYS SHINX HERE AND HERES THE NEXT CHAPTER!
Chapter 3-Spring Yard Zone (played by Knuckles)
Spring Yard Zone. The urban zone with plenty of springs and platforms. It's quite frustrating though, as pointed out by Shadow.
'So they ask us to 'COPE', eh? Not a good thing to me.'
And sure enough, as he said it, Knuckles gets crushed by a block.
'HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO COPE WITH THAT?' Knuckles yelled.
The next time, Knuckles successfully passed the remaining obstacles and hit the checkpoint. After that, it was literally smooth sailing. Well, not exactly literally… but still smooth. They also entered the third special stage, getting the pink Chaos Emerald.
'Well, that's the third, next up is the…' Sonic started.
'DAMN fourth Chaos Emerald' Shadow chuckled at this.
Act 2
Like last time, Knuckles took the lower path.
'Aw, come on Knux, no need to always pick the same path…' Sonic groaned. He would regret it soon after. Knuckles jumped over a red spring by accident, but found himself in a secret passageway. And like all secret passageways…
'YES! Another 1-Up!' Knuckles whooped in delight as he hit the box. Getting out of there was a hard task, though, as he kept getting rebounded by the bumpers. On the bright side, he did obtain an item box containing a bubble of some sort. Reaching the checkpoint, he ended up hitting a spiked ball. Instead of losing this rings, however, the bubble disappeared, while Sonic bounced back and gained temporary invincibility.
'So that's a shield…' Blaze said.
'It doesn't even look like a shield,' Rouge said.
After that, Knuckles finished the level, taking the lower path yet again.
Act 3
This time, Knuckles surprised everyone by taking the higher route. Sadly, it didn't last long, as a yellow spring pushed him off course.
'Well, it was good while it lasted,' Espio said.
'COME ON GUYS! BE POSITIVE! AT LEAST WE DIDN'T DIE!' Charmy tried cheering everyone up in his obnoxious voice. But of course, everything said is a curse, and Knuckles was crushed yet again.
Everyone glared at Charmy. 'What? I was just trying to help.' Charmy said, albeit more nervously.
During the next run, Knuckles successfully reached the checkpoint. Next, falling from a huge slope, he picked up an invincibility box and a pair of power sneakers. Activating a switch to move a block, Knuckles somehow managed to get a 1-Up, granting him another life. Hitting the last checkpoint, he entered the boss area. This time, Egghead had a weird spike at the bottom of the EggMobile. As it turns out, you had to distract him so that he'll come down and destroy a tile, allowing you to hit him. It was yet again another easy boss battle for the group, as they went to the next zone.
