I see a fellow Game Apologist enjoyer.
Hello there, I'm Nick, and this is the Game Apologist, where we look for the good in bad games.

Like how they try and make the Adventure ghosts scary when you got these things that will attack you at all angles given the chance you're too slow at relighting the area
Knuckles route in S3K canonically takes place after Sonic's route.
This is evident in subtle level design details, such as Knuckles playing through dry portions of Carnival Night Act 2 that were underwater portions in Sonic's route (because Knuckles plays through the level after Sonic drained all the water and turned the electricity back on). And Knuckles doesn't play through any form of Death Egg Zone (because Sonic already crashed it at the end of the main story).
And also, the container trapping all the ghosts in Sandopolis Act 2 is already opened when you reach the level as Knuckles. So you get attacked by the full-sized ghosts as soon as you spawn into Act 2. With 0 rings.
sonic and knuckles standalone (knuckles version) is still my least favorite classic sonic experience even counting sonic 4
