Knuckles loves grapes
One of the more subtle references to old Sonic lore is a scene where Knuckles is going ham on some grapes. Wade makes a joke about how grapes seem like they’d be hard for Knuckles to eat, considering his hands are always covered in gloves, but the echidna is so into the tiny fruit that he doesn’t even acknowledge it. Knuckles loves grapes, and that shit goes back as far as his debut in 1994. In the Sonic the Hedgehog 3 instruction booklet, Knuckles’ character profile says his favorite food is fruit, specifically grapes. So it’s fun to see the live-action universe leaning into this 30-year-old trivia as a bit.
