Knuckles the Echidna is a supporting character in the Sonic For Hire series. He is the current owner of the Burger Time fast food restaurant, which he says is the fourth-largest burger franchise, south of the Green Hill Zone. He was originally Sonic's rival in the 90's and they battled against Dr. Eggman, as shown in the sixth season. His main catchphrase his "Fryin' and Buyin." However, he has said alternative catchphrases beside that such as "Followin' and swallowin!", "Roomin' and Groomin", or "College and knowledge."
In Season 4, Knuckles started to work at a restaurant called "Tre Douche", as a waiter due to Sonic burning Burger Time to the ground with a crackpipe from smoking it in the bathroom, which he revealed to Sonic while he was working there again on a shift.
Later in Season 6, due to Sonic's time traveling, he has his old job at Burger Time back in Season 1. He then travels with Sonic and co. since the chef he worked with there was a asshole to him, however, this action screws up the past. After Sonic does a reset of the world, everyone becomes pixels, he wanders off to kill himself, and he comes back as a red pixel when he see's Sonic and co. again. He later comes back to his old job at Burger Time, and still as trapped as a red pixel working for 39 hour shifts while missing his boxing gloves.
Interestingly, in Season 8, due to Sonic previously becoming The Creator before giving up, Knuckles returns back to an normal echidna again, working at BurgerTime again while having an obsession with Huey Lewis and the News. He also teams up with Sonic and co. to stop Eggman and his daughter Eggette from taking over the world.
In Season 9, Knuckles is currently Sonic's roommate at Console University.
