Description[]
Appearance[]
The Hammer Gloves resemble a pair of metallic black brass knuckles which are designed to fit over Knuckles' gloves.[2]
Features and traits[]
The Hammer Gloves appear to enhance the user's hand-to-hand combat skills, allowing for more damaging punches.[3]
History[]
Past[]
The Hammer Gloves were created by Rotor Walrus for Knuckles the Echidna to increase his strength following the loss of his powers after coming back to life.[1]
Return to Angel Island[]
Knuckles wore the Hammer Gloves during Sonic and the Chaotix's recon mission on Angel Island, and used them as his main weapon against the forces of the Dark Legion and Dingo Regime. When Sonic and Knuckles later prepared to engage Hunter, Sonic discarded the Hammer Gloves, as he preferred to travel "light". Knuckles subsequently abandoned them after regaining his powers.[2][3][4]
Trivia[]
- The Hammer Gloves are based on the Level Up Item of the same name from Sonic Adventure 2 and its re-release, Sonic Adventure 2: Battle.
- Although this version of the Hammer Gloves feature a unique design which is used for all the stories they appear in, they are drawn to resemble the Shovel Claws in their Sonic Adventure 2 design on the frontispiece of Sonic the Hedgehog #138.
