Sonic 2&Knuckles works because Sonic&Knuckles (IIRC) actually is able to inject new code that contains not only the data for Knuckles (the specific colors of his sprite already exist in the game's color palette), but also modifications for stages to insert areas and secrets for Knuckles to find with his unique skill set. Sonic 1 was also an older and jankier version of the engine that may not have bee able to so easily handle Knuckles' particular skill set. Deadlines tended to be fierce for Sonic Team and they regularly left a ton of shit on the cutting room floor. --- I'm Queen of Tomorrow baby! Remember: heat from fire, fire from heat!
