A single one of Sonic’s quills short circuited Robotnik’s lab)

FTL+ (Fought with Sonic, consistently tagged him, kept pace with his running speed in their final battle with Robotnik, and even caught up to him on an earlier occasion, though is ultimately somewhat slower) | Massively FTL+, possibly Immeasurable via charging with Chaos Energy

Standard Melee Range; Several Meters with electrical shockwaves; Universal via Rings (His Rings are the same technology Sonic uses, who traveled from his home world to Earth, which is stated to be on "the far side of the universe")
[]
- Rings: Golden objects that were said to have been the method of travelling between worlds used by advanced cultures. Rings allow their users to travel between areas by thinking of a location before throwing a ring, which then forms a temporary portal to that location. Surprisingly, the process of having a location in mind is rather flexible, with Sonic having once accidentally opened a portal to the Transamerica Pyramid simply based on how it was portrayed on a t-shirt.
[]
Average, Genius in combat (Although Knuckles is far from dim-witted, he is somewhat naive. Knuckles is a skilled echidna warrior that has trained since birth in "every form of lethal combat", revered as the most dangerous warrior in the galaxy. Boasts considerable experience, having scoured the most desolate corners of the galaxy in his search for Sonic)
[]
Can be temperamental. Ignorant of Earth’s customs. Rather easily tricked by manipulation.
