The Sunglasses are a pair of special sunglasses with light blue lenses in a silver frame. When obtained, they allow Knuckles to see and interact with invisible items, such as Item Boxes, Rings and Springs. They can be used by selecting them in the action window and then pressing the B button, but it will be taken off whenever the jump button is pressed. They are the equivalent to Rouge the Bat's Treasure Scope, and are needed to find certain Emerald Shards in the "Hard Mode" missions of Knuckles' stages.
Location[]
In Sonic Adventure 2 and its enhanced port Sonic Adventure 2: Battle, the Sunglasses are located in Meteor Herd. They are found in the middle of the stage (where Knuckles fights Rouge) near the bottom of the lava pit, but the area where they are found is closed up by metal doors and Knuckles has to find a switch to open it up. In order to obtain it, Knuckles must possess the Hammer Gloves.
To find the switch that unlocks the lava pit, the player should head to the opposite side of the structure where Rouge is fought, that Knuckles faces when the player begins the level. Once on the other side, the player must proceed to the nearest platform that has a large meteorite on it and face it so that they have both the meteorite and the large structure directly in front of them. They must then hit the meteorite with as much force as possible, which will cause it to fly into the door on the structure and destroy it. It will then reveal a Steel Container that covers the switch, which must be smashed to fully reveal the switch.
Once the player touches this switch, the door sealing the lava pit will be open. The player must then go into up the building and drop down onto one of the platforms above the lava pit, and the Sunglasses can be found at the lowest platform inside.
In the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by Archie Comics, the Sunglasses were a piece of equipment that Knuckles used to aid aid him while he was stripped of his powers.
Trivia[]
The Sunglasses are most likely an allusion to Knuckles' dislike of strong sunlight.
