We all know what SEGA did instead of "Sonic 1 and Knuckles".
We all know that Stealth has facepalmed SEGA and created a "Knuckles in Sonic 1" hack, which plays JUST like the official games -- it's spot on. Very professional.
The hack can be found on http://info.sonicretro.org/Knuckles_the_Echidna_in_Sonic_the_Hedgehog (http://info.sonicretro.org/Knuckles_the_Echidna_in_Sonic_the_Hedgehog)
Of course, hacks are the domain of TUSC, but I think that maybe an exception could be made. This hack is a logical "prequel" to S2K, is what SEGA should have done a long time ago. This hack is not a change of level layouts or anything. It's that what should have been.
So, the question is: do you want Knuckles charts for Sonic 1 enough to put up with the fact that it's a hack?

I think the main reason Sega did not make Knuckles playable in the first Sonic game via lock-on technology is, obviously, the level design. Watch the TAS of the hack made by JXQ and you will understand what I mean.

It was cause of color scheme, Sonic's colors in the game were linked to many other things, so if you replaced Sonic with Knuckles, you would have to change a lot of stuff to make avoid problems, and I bet they didn't want to do that.
Remember how in Sonic 3 and S3K how knuckles had yellow socks (when not playing as him), it was so he wouldn't ruin the HUD number, score, rings display. Cause of the colors.

Wait, TUSC already has both this and Tails in Sonic 1?
