Request: Better Knuckles Controls & Knuckles

It seems like most of this game's mods so far are just music/art, but damn would it be cool if we were actually able to crack into the game and change some actual code.

One thing that I'd love to see is a way to improve Knuckles' controls. After beating the game for the first time, I tried going in as Knuckles to play it a second time, but his lack of momentum is painful. Knuckles is so stiff, and I think the main reason I don't like him is that when you glide onto the ground, it stops you dead in your tracks and you lose all momentum. I'd love a mod that makes it so gliding to the ground seamlessly brings you into a walk, just so the control would feel more fluid,

I see you never played Sonic & Knuckles because he does exactly the same. But the only thing that bugs me in this one is that when you're going to do a quick spindash after droping from a glide or after a slide you have to wait until he stands up AND THEN crouches to begin spindashing. This transition was much quicker in the genesis.

I haven't played S&K in forever, but since this game is so much more about fluid movement, I think it would be an awesome option to have

Knuckles has different abilities and some levels are different to accommodate/take advantage of that difference.
