Knuckles Keeping Balance #sonicthehedgehog #sonj #sonicmania

I can tell you that the Knuckles balancing animation in Sonic 1 and Sonic Mania both have their own unique styles.

In Sonic 1, Knuckles' balancing animation is more basic, with simple sprite movements to depict his balance. On the other hand, the Knuckles balancing animation in Sonic Mania is more detailed and has a more fluid motion, reflecting the improved graphics capabilities of the game.

Ultimately, the choice between the two animations will come down to personal preference. Some players may prefer the simplicity of the original, while others may prefer the improved graphics and fluidity of the updated version.

It's up to the individual viewer to decide which animation they like more.
