Knife

A strange little side quest

The rules may be simple on screen, but the backstory around Knife is anything but tiny. Sonic the Hedgehog launched in 1991 and turned speed itself into a defining platform-game mechanic. That is only half the story. Women's boxing made its Olympic debut at London 2012. So a round of Knife is not just a quick distraction; it is a tiny stop on a much longer platform games timeline.
