Knuckles the Echidna and Rouge the Bat are the Power characters, specializing in treasure hunting and exploration. Their core abilities include gliding (hold A after jumping), climbing walls (jump into a wall), and digging (B button on soft ground). Knuckles' upgrades include the Shovel Claw (enhances digging) and the Air Necklace (allows breathing underwater). Rouge's upgrades include the Pick Nails (enhances digging) and the Treasure Scope (reveals hidden items). Their stages require careful use of the radar to locate Chaos Emerald shards. Focus on efficiently traversing the environment, using their unique movement abilities to reach hidden areas, and strategically digging. Destroying enemies also contributes to your score, so don't ignore them while searching.
