Knuckles was better than Sonic.
Hell, Victor the Alligator, Espio the Chameleon, Charmy the Bee, and Rusty the random tin can are ALL better than Sonic. He's your basic cardboard cut-out of SEGA's attempt to appeal to the 'wooaaaaahh-demographic' of the late 80s and early 90s. They succeeded, AT FIRST, before falling down a slippery slope of swords, transformations, cars, and of course ever-changing storylines.
To Sonic Team:
Pull your head out of the place you've been getting your games and stick with a storyline.
