Connecting Sonic & Knuckles to the first Sonic the Hedgehog will not allow you to play as Knuckles in the latter game. This was not due to hardware limitations as is commonly believed, but rather because the game's development team felt that, while Sonic 2 was designed with Super Sonic's flight in mind and thus had verticality to its levels fit for Knuckles' climbing, Sonic 1 was not, and therefore simply was not fun to play as Knuckles in.

In the Flying Battery Zone Act 1, there's an object known as "The Flying Battery" which can only be seen by taking a certain path. It's simply an obstacle that can be pushed and only appears once in the game.
