Has anyone seen Studio Ghibli's film Laputa: Castle in the Sky? Laputa, the flying castle is suspiciously like the Sky Sanctuary in Sonic and Knuckles. Even the destruction of the castle!
I've not played Sonic and Knuckles enough to recognise it, but I wouldn't be surprised. Studio Ghibli's artistic influence can be seen across dozens of Japanese videogames, most notably in Nintendo's Zelda series.
