okay so
Sonic, when he takes damage, scatters rings everywhere, no matter how many chaos emeralds he's got.
In Super Sonic mode he's functionally immortal and can take any hit without damage.
and yet
Knuckles uppercutted him from under ground and that one punch not only caused him to drop all the Chaos Emeralds, but ALSO knocked him STRAIGHT OUTTA SUPER SONIC MODE.
Just how fuckin' hard did Knux punch him!?
oh good people have already been drawing that XD It's perfect
Now I'm imagining Knuckles dressed up like Saitama from One Punch Man.
One Punch Echidna.
