I do like your approach.
Like you said before, Tikal is an anti-war and having wholesome ideals.
This will also provide conflict drama between her and Pachacamac.
Too bad the movie's jumping straight to SA2 without touching SA1 much.

If Knuckles TV series had a second season, I can imagine Pachacamac asking him to seek his daughter as the arc.

I've yet to play it. I've heard it shoves a lot of ads at you and that some players take advantage of "pay to win" features.

That could work.
And then Knuckles asked Wade to do it to save GCI budget.

I've yet to play it. I've heard it shoves a lot of ads at you and that some players take advantage of "pay to win" features.

"a lot of ads"? Yes. "pay to win"? Nah, that won't help much. It's still gitgud (plus more hours played) kind of game.
It's basically a mobile game afterall that's SEGA willing to port to PC too due to fan's requests.
That's why the review are mostly good on mobile and mostly bad on PC.
For mobile gamers, those are the norm.

He can bring Wade along if he wants, but give the audience what they want and have Knuckles as the main character and maybe fantastic green-screen locations as well.

Well, of late I haven't been in the right mindset for gaming, but I'll probably download it by the end of the month.

Is it possible to have "rooms" or "servers" where you can give access to certain players?

That's depended on the budget I guess.

I don't know with PC version but in the mobile version it's yes.
Still I'm sure it's the same for PC version according to this :
