@Ton "These sprites are the ones found in Sonic 3's data."

Most of these sprites don't exist in the data for Sonic 3 Alone. The only Knuckles sprites that exist in this version of the game is the ones provided with the cutscene sprites, and some HUD stuff. These sprites are only added with the Sonic & Knuckles add-on, therefore it is identical to what shows up in that game.
These are not unused in Sonic 3 Alone because they don't exist in Sonic 3 Alone, and this makes no sense to belong in the "Unused" section.

@Greenknight9000 It's on the Sonic & Knuckles page. Knuckles's sprites aren't all located in one game. They're split between them. These sprites are the ones found in Sonic 3's data.

You really aren't going to stop, are you? The pages have been like this long before I started ripping. It's just preaching to the wall at this point.

Sonic & Knuckles shouldn't even be a separate spritesheet - it's the same game as Sonic 3, it just got split because of a dumb McDonalds deal.

I'd argue that all of those sprites only exist because of Sonic and Knuckles though, no? Maybe we can just treat it like the Sonic 2 section and list him as a playable character despite that not strictly being true.

At the very least, where else can I include his palette data? It doesn't apply to his NPC/Enemy palette (underwater palettes for his line on the palette would actually take from the Badniks), plus there are gameplay sprites that are only used in the Sonic 3 portion of S3K.

Would this still be in the Sonic 3 section since he's not playable here?

Yep. I'm working on other stuff but there is an in-development revision coming.

When I try to open this image in Graphics Gale, It doesn’t work. Is something up with this image or something?
