Play Charmy Bee in Sonic the Hedgehog Online

Charmy Bee is a playable character in the Sega Genesis game Knuckles' Chaotix, released by Sega in 1995. He appears in a side-scrolling platformer that uses the system's unique hardware capabilities, fitting into the experimental phase of 16-bit titles that explored new mechanics beyond traditional running and jumping.

You control Charmy, a small bee who can fly for short bursts, allowing you to hover over gaps and reach higher platforms that other characters cannot. The main objective is to navigate through stages, often linked in pairs by a tether mechanic, to reach the goal. Signature actions include using his stinger to attack enemies from below and collecting rings for protection and continues. The game's pace is slower and more methodical than a typical Sonic title, focusing on exploration over speed, and the difficulty comes from managing your flight stamina and the unusual partner-based level design. It feels like solving a puzzle while everyone else is in a footrace.
