[Open Assets] OVA Knuckles

So I had an idea, What if there was a character capable of taking any route through any level? Naturally, that made me think of how a character would be able to take knuckles' routes since those require such specific abilities, and of course the only solution is to have a knuckles clone with some unique perks.

Tweaks:
Glide & climb
It's knuckles' standard gliding and climbing, but with one major change, no more crouching! I know a lot of people (myself included) absolutely despise that crouch that he does, so if you're one of those people, this mod is for you.


Edit: As of version 2.2.5, knuckles' crouch is much less annoying. If it still annoys you however, this mod is still here :P

Jump Height
In order to take Sonic's routes through the levels, I needed to buff knuckles' base jump height. Don't worry, I didn't do anything crazy, he simply now has the same base jump height as Sonic.

Floor Auto-Break

Similarly to Azura, OVA Knuckles is capable of breaking breakable floors by simply standing on them, This is what allows him to take Amy and Fang's routes, as they are typically blocked off by a breakable floor.

Super Form

What it says on the tin, you no longer need an extra mod in order for you to go super as ova knuckles! The speed of his glide is greatly increased when super, so you can use that for some insane skips.

Edit: As of version 2.2.5, knuckles actually has a super form, and in a way, ova knuckles' super is kinda worse then vanilla's since he can't do the earthquake stomp.

Custom Music

Similarly to characters such as Neo Sonic, OVA Knuckles has custom music when using Speed Shoes, Invincibility, or going super. All of this music is taken directly from the Sonic OVA, so you can be sure it's all quality stuff.

A snazzy lookin' hat!
If all the gameplay related tweaks didn't sell you on ova knuckles, hopefully this will! Not only does he now have his famous hat from the OVA, but in some situations, (fall, roll, jump, and spindash) it's even effected by gravity, and will fall off of his head for a short time, or bounce ontop of you as you roll along the ground!
