Miles "Tails" Prower (Sonic Boom)

"Ingenious inventor, expert pilot and Sonic's best friend."

- Sonic Boom Official Website

Miles Prower, more commonly referred to as Tails, is one of the main characters in the Sonic Boom series. He is an anthropomorphic two-tailed fox and the sidekick of Sonic the Hedgehog. He serves as the pilot, gadget specialist, strategist and overall brains of Team Sonic, a group of heroes who protect their home from villains and foes alike.

Concept and creation
Tails' attire was meant to emphasize his role as the "gadget guy" of the team. He received a belt to "really show" his gadgets and aviator goggles to reinforce that he was also the team's pilot.

The sports tape Tails wears is inspired by fighters and American football players and is meant to give him a sense of practical heroism by showing that that he is not vain, which is a trait more fitting for villains, when saving the world and to give him a more grounded approach.

Appearance
Tails is almost identical to his main series counterpart in appearance, except that he is slightly taller, his legs are longer, his twin-tails are thinner, and the fur at the top of his chest is much less fluffy. For attire, he wears a pair of brown goggles with orange lenses on his head, (which appear to change shape whenever they are worn on his eyes) a brown work belt with a strap around his shoulder and a small buckle adorned with his signature symbol, and white medium-long gloves with no cuffs. He also wears red sneakers with white toes and cuffs, which have white sports tape wrapped around the middle.

At the Awardy Awards, Tails wore a yellow and black-striped butterfly.

Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric
In Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric, Tails was out foiling Dr. Eggman's evil plans with Sonic, Knuckles and Amy as they pursued Eggman and Metal Sonic to an island. There, the group found an ominous ancient tomb after briefly splitting up, where they got cornered by Metal Sonic and Eggman's new Destruction Troops. While Tails thought they could handle them, Sonic still took them into the tomb for safety. Now trapped inside, Tails' team tried escaping the tomb while blaming Sonic for their predicament, but ended up awakening Lyric the Last Ancient, who somehow knew Sonic. The team was then tied up by Lyric with his shackles as he fled, but Tails was able to recalibrate the shackles into Enerbeams which they tried to pursue Lyric with, but without luck.

Seeking information on Lyric, Team Sonic tracked down Cliff. The archeologist revealed that Lyric was an Ancient, who turned evil and planned to destroy all life in the world using his Sentinel army, powered by the Chaos Crystals, but was imprisoned by his own race when they discovered his plan, news which made Tails silently judge Sonic. Nevertheless, the team set out to get the Crystals before Lyric. When arriving in the Abandoned Research Facility to get the second Crystal, where the team got split up, Tails and Sonic met MAIA, a robot who rebelled against Lyric, who assisted the team by creating a time portal leading one thousand years back in time to retrieve a map for the Crystals. Before Tails and Sonic could use it though, they were attack by Shadow the Hedgehog, who wanted to prove Sonic's weakness. Disposing Shadow into a time portal, Tails and Sonic traveled back in time to Lyric's Weapon Facility, where they helped a younger MAIA halt Lyric's operations. At the map room, Tails retrieved the map while Sonic trapped that time's Lyric for his future imprisonment by the Ancients.

Regrouping with Knuckles and Amy in the present, Tails continued the hunt with his friends. While collecting each Crystal, Team Sonic faced a brief alliance between Lyric and Eggman, Metal Sonic who was reprogrammed to serve Lyric, and was caught in the power struggle between Lyric and Eggman. Despite all the dangers though, they pulled it through each time. When getting the last Crystal though, Sonic was surrounded by Lyric's robots, and Lyric demanded that they handed over the Crystals if Sonic was to live. Reluctantly, Tails and his friends complied, but Lyric's robots still shot Sonic down. Fortunately, they found Sonic alive, and Team Sonic set off to stop Lyric in his lair, where they fought him. Near the end, Lyric used the team's Enerbeams to ensnare them, but before he could finish them, Eggman ambushed Lyric from behind, freeing the group. Tails then helped Sonic incapacitate Lyric for good, and, despite an untimely visit from Shadow, Team Sonic returned to the Village to celebrate their victory, where Tails and Buddy Bot set up the fireworks.

Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal
In Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric, Tails came to rescue Sticks with Sonic, Knuckles and Amy when the badger was caught in a rockslide. There, Sticks claimed the rocks said an underground army would destroy them all, much to Tails' exasperation. Later, Tails teamed up with Sonic, Knuckles and Sticks to track down and save Amy who had been kidnapped by Lyric and his robot army, who sought to use her archeological knowledge to find a Lost Crystal of Power and seize its power.

TV series
On a day of battling Dr. Eggman, Tails came to Sonic's aid in the Tornado as he faced Burnbot. During the battle, Burnbot clipped the Tornado's wing and Tails crashed. Tails later awoke at home, having been brought there by Sonic who then fired him as his sidekick to protect him from harm. Tails soon after successfully applied for Sonic's sidekick try-outs, as he welcomed all candidates. For Sonic's test, Tails faced fellow candidates Fastidious Beaver and even Eggman in a ground-and-air race, where the latter made Tails' Tornado crash into a frozen lake by Burnbot in the middle of the race. Sonic saved Tails, but Burnbot made Sonic fall into the lake. Tails dived in and saved Sonic and together they beat Burnbot and escaped. Soon after, Sonic and Tails reconciled, and Tails was rehired.

When Dr. Eggman, Orbot and Cubot where in need of a place to stay while their lair underwent repairs, Tails let them to stay in his house. However, Tails and Sonic were annoyed by Eggman's obnoxious behavior and they almost kicked him out until Amy made them give him another chance. Eggman then kept them awake all night with activities, but the next morning, Eggman revealed that he lied about his lair so he could exhaust them, and summoned Obliterator Bot to destroy them. However, Obliterator Bot misheard Eggman's orders and attacked his lair instead. Having been convinced by Eggman to stop it, Tails, Sonic and Eggman reached Obliterator Bot's kill switches in the lair despite their downiness while their team distracted it, though they were too late to save the lair.

Having perfected UT, a robot capable of translating any language, Tails demonstrated it to his friends, but they took a disliking to UT when it translated their private thoughts from the subtext of their speech. The next day, Tails tried to show UT to his friends again when it "translated" their conversations into insults. Upon examination, Tails discovered that this UT was a fake, planted by Eggman to tear the team apart. Tails ventured to Eggman's lair to rescue UT, but without his team who did not want UT saved, and he made a deal with Eggman: in exchange for letting UT go, he would become the doctor's assistant. Eggman accepted, so Tails sent a message with UT to his friends, telling about his departure. However, Tails planned for UT to translate his message into a distress call, and Team Sonic soon arrived and freed him while destroying Eggman's Mega. Thanking his team, Tails saw good times with UT, but Sticks quickly threw it into the sea.

When Team Sonic saved the village from Eggman's Anti-fire Bot, Tails and his team noticed Sticks' bad treatment of animals and convinced her to get a pet to learn about compassion. However, Sticks ended up choosing a disgusting robo-dog named Buster. Over the next week, Buster was an annoyance to Tails and the others which culminated in Buster keeping them from stopping a robbery made by Orbot and Cubot. Tails and the rest tried making Sticks give up Buster until Eggman came with a gift for Buster and revealed he created him. The gift turned Buster into a larger robot who caught Tails and the team, but Sticks assumed control over Buster, who released Tails and the others and got rid of Eggman. As Sticks released Buster since he was too dangerous, Tails found a octopus he wanted as a pet until it swallowed him.

While Tails and his team were in the village as it was bombarded by meteors, Sticks saved them thanks to her own defense system. Shortly after, Tails and the others heard from Sticks that she had been nominated for an Awardy Award, but refused to go to its associated gala because she would embarrass herself. As such, Tails helped Sticks train to be a proper lady. At the gala, Tails learned that Eggman had been nominated as well (by cheating). However, when Eggman did not get the award and attacked with his robots, Tails and his team attempted to fight but was trapped, Fortunately, Sticks saved Tails, and his team drove Eggman away and save the gala.

When preparing Amy's decorative lunch, Tails made Amy feel unappreciated by tinkering with the soothing music. When Eggman showed up to hire Amy to redecorate his lair for Modern Lair Magazine, Tails was shocked when Amy accepted it. Eventually, Tails and his team began to miss Amy, so they went to Eggman's lair to check on her, but Eggman claimed Amy had chosen to stay with him. Tails and his friends did not buy it and broke into the lair where Tails freed her from a cage, and they made peace. Team Sonic then trashed Eggman's lair and his badniks on their way out, which cost Eggman his place in Modern Lair Magazine.

When Tails and Sonic were testing his Reverse Polarizer, Orbot showed up and asked Tails to repair Cubot. Shortly after, the duo went to Eggman's lair after picking up the signal from two doomsday devices. There, they discovered that Eggman and his intern Dave were competing for whom could destroy the world best with their doomsday devices. Tails and Sonic therefore tricked them into calibrating their devices so they would cancel each other out when activated. However, the devices created a black hole instead, so Tails gave Sonic his Reverse Polarizer which he used to destroy the black hole.

Having created an out-of control vacuum-robot, Tails called for Sonic's help to stop it. Afterwards, Tails came with Sonic to his shack where he had a cookie from an unknown sender, and Tails convinced Sonic to let him have it. However, it was actually an Evil Cookie made by Eggman which turned Tails into a clone of the doctor. Now evil, Tails joined Amy, Knuckles and Sticks (who had also eaten the evil cookies) under Eggman's tutelage to plot Sonic's destruction. When Sonic came to save them, Tails and the others cornered him, but then began fighting over who deserved the honor for capturing Sonic. During the fight, Tails and the others were restored to normal by Sonic and Eggman (who Sonic turned good with a cookie containing his DNA). The good Eggman thought they would work together now, but Team Sonic did not like the idea and turned the doctor back to normal.

During a race, Tails and Sonic found Gogoba Village, which they saved from the Weasel Bandits as they plundered it, and the Gogobas made them stay for a victory feast, though at their own expense. Feeling terrible, Sonic and Tails tried to leave several times, but the Chief and villagers kept guilt tripping them to stay until they made them remain as their protectors. When they failed to get away by giving the Gogobas a security system, Tails and Sonic escaped when they guilt tripped the chief into letting them go. Back home though, the Gogobas had moved into Sonic's Shack so Sonic could protect them. No sooner, thy were attacked by Eggman and his badniks, but after destroying them, Tails and Sonic convinced Eggman that the Gogobas would be a great asset to him. Having guilt tripping the Chief into the idea, the Gogobas finally left the duo as they departed with Eggman. On a trip to the market place, Tails found Orbot and Cubot performing horribly as musicians for money. Out of pity, Tails gave them a few coins.

As Tails and his team saw Sonic and Knuckles play coconut hurl, Eggman came by to attack them with Cowbot, a robot which would create a large explosion when destroyed. Tails came up with reprogramming Cowbot instead, but when he did, it made Cowbot head for Eggman at his lair to destroy him. Tails accompanied Sonic to warn Eggman, but the doctor convinced them to help, and as they prepared for Cowbot, the group upgraded the defenses at Eggman's lair. While waiting for Cowbot to come, Tails, Sonic and Eggman bonded over roasted marshmallows. When Cowbot arrived, their defenses got gunked up with marshmallows, but it gave Tails the idea of gunking up Cowbot's systems too. When Tails' plan succeeded, Eggman revealed his master plan was to make them upgrade his systems for his own usage, but Sonic foiled his plan and left with Tails.

While his team fought Eggman's Octopus Bot, Tails tried using his untested Unbolterizer on Eggman, but it malfunctioned and caused a rockslide that nearly crushed his friends. After beating Eggman, Tails was scolded by must of his team. Ridden with guilt, he withdrew from the team until he could fix his invention. When he did and ran some tests however, Tails was contacted by Sonic who revealed he and the team had been captured by T.W. Barker. Tails soon came to their rescue where he freed his team and helped stop Barker, and Tails made amends with his friends. Tails later served as judge for Sonic and Knuckles' Gopher Ball game which Sonic easily won. As Knuckles tried to use up his bad luck by inflicting brutal misfortunes on himself, Tails and Amy got Sonic to stop him while they sought Sticks' aid. No sooner though, Eggman invaded the island. Tails and his team tried stopping him, but Knuckles' bad luck and Eggman's currently good luck ruined their chances. However, they still beat Eggman by letting Knuckles temporarily join the doctor and have his bad luck cancel out Eggman's good luck, thus neutralizing them both. Tails soon learned though that Knuckles' bad luck had passed onto him.

While stargazing, Team Sonic found a meteor landing close by, which Eggman arrived to steal. After Sonic and Eggman tried to take the meteor, only for it to knock them upon touch, Tails began analyzing it and discovered its ability to switch minds between others. Realizing this happened to Sonic and Eggman, Tails brought the meteor to his team just as Sonic and Eggman (each in the other's body) were fighting. Tails verified who Sonic was to his team and they used the meteor to restore Sonic and Eggman to their original selves. Following a battle with Scorpion-bot, Tails and his team noticed Eggman was sinking into a slump. With Eggman subsequently loosing his drive, Tails was driven nuts by Sonic who became restless from the peace. As such, Tails and his other friends tried to re-motivate Eggman by tricking Sonic to fight him. Though they could not trick Sonic as intended, their plan still lead to Sonic and Eggman resuming their battles.

In a well-meaning attempt to help Sticks pick berries, Tails built a berry picking machine, but it went berserk and demolished the orchard. Tails was thus forced by Sticks to replant the orchard, making him miss the pie festival. Amidst his task, he met the Lightning Bolt Society who invited him to join them. Tails accepted after Dave reseeded the orchard with his Mutant Seed Gun, but he soon discovered the group thought he was evil and wanted his help for crimes. Fortunately, Sonic and Amy arrived who helped him get away despite interference from Eggman. Tails then helped his team destroy some mutant plants with his berry picking machine and he and Sticks made up.

When Tails helped Sonic beat Eggman in his Moth Bot, Sonic was sued by Eggman for breaking his neck unprovoked. At the trial, Tails tried to defend Sonic, but Eggman's lawyer, T.W. Barker turned Tails' statements around and Sonic stood to lose. Thanks to Amy though, Eggman was revealed to be just fine, and Tails could engage Eggman's invading forces once more. As his team got him away from working on his plane, Tails found Eggman selling tomato sauce. The team suspected the sauce was poisoned, but Tails' analysis told otherwise, so they let Eggman sell it to the whole island. A few weeks later, where Tails had to repair several electronics, Team Sonic saw Eggman reveal on a TV interview that his sauce cans had turned their electronics into robots to conquer the island. Team Sonic was soon after attacked by a small army which included Tails' Plane, but instead of destroying it, Tails remained to regain control of his plane while his team faced Eggman. Once he had it back, Tails arrived in time to steal Eggman's controller and shut his robots down while Eggman accidentally ruined his plan by revealing it on television.

While Tails demonstrated his voice-activated Tailsmobile to Sonic, a deafening tone created when Sonic ran nearly made Tails' vehicle drive him into a lava pit, but was saved by Sonic in time. When Tails could not figure out what Sonic's problem was, he told him to stay away from running. Later, during a Crab Bot attack, Tails and his team kept Sonic out of the fight, only for Eggman to show up afterwards to offer Sonic help. Despite Tails warnings, Sonic took Eggman's offer, and he later returned to Tails and the others with special shoes that seemingly removed the sound. However, Eggman then attacked them with his Giant Robot which Tails figured got stronger the more Sonic ran with his new shoes. Thankfully, Tails and the team were saved when Sonic instead ran excessively and overloaded the robot with power. When Tails was having a movie night with his team, Eggman's Egg Tank attacked, where Tails saved Amy who then saved Sonic by deflecting the Egg Tank's weapon. However, when Eggman countered the deflected attack, an accident made it create a time loop where the day endlessly repeated itself with Tails unaware of it. During this loop, Eggman, who retained his awareness, kept Tails from saving Amy so he could capture Sonic, only for the loop to reset it. Desperate, Eggman turned to Tails and Sonic for help, where Tails, after several loops, came up with the idea to contain the loop's reaction to break it. The idea eventually worked out and time was restored.

While in his plane, Tails saw Sonic and Knuckles awaken a Granifier Giganticus named Rocky which crashed Tails' plane when he engaged him. Reuniting with his team in the Village as Rocky trashed it, Tails noticed from experience that Rocky was just trying to fall asleep. Learning Sticks could lull it to sleep with her singing, Team Sonic relocated Rocky to keep him from blocking a road, only to met Eggman who sought to capture Rocky. Tails and his team beat Eggman, but then saw Rocky had escaped with Sticks. When they could not find Sticks, Tails located her with his Disasterometer and helped rescue her. Then, after luring Rocky to Eggman's lair, Tails made Rocky fall asleep to a recording of Sticks' singing. Tails later helped his team battle Eggman which ended when Sonic and Eggman getting trapped in Buddy Buddy Temple. Tails then found himself caught between Knuckles and Amy who argued over who should lead the team to rescue Sonic despite his attempts to negotiate. Joined by Orbot and Cubot, Tails' group fell into the temple as it caved in, where they found Sonic and Eggman, who got them out just in time through an escape route, and Tails departed with his team. When at Meh Burger, Tails and his friends met Orbot and Cubot who had left Eggman to be their friends. Despite his aversion to it, Tails was left to take in Orbot and Cubot and only got away after he let them play with his laptop. Later, the robot duo and Eggman came for Team Sonic's help when a computer virus named Nominatus took over Eggman's tech to destroy all life forms. Collaborating with Eggman while the others kept the robots away, Tails sent Orbot and Cubot into cyberspace where they stopped Nominatus. Tails' team returned to being Eggman's enemies.

As Tails was in his workshop and saw Sonic and Knuckles playing with his equipment, Amy reminded Sonic he had to return a library book, which Tails helped Sonic find. Shortly after, Tails helped Sonic in his Tailsmobile as he was attacked by Eggman's robots. With his friends' aid, Tails and the team got rid of the robots and helped Sonic return his book. Tails later met Amy in the Village and heard she was heading to Hidden Meadows, but when Sticks wanted to teach Amy the survival skills needed for the trip, Sonic bet that he could teach Knuckles better that her. As the parties agreed to a race to Hidden Meadows, Tails worrisomely watched Sonic and Knuckles forewent their training. Later at the race, Tails served as the referee, but could not oversee his friends after they left.

While pranking Knuckles, Tails and his team saw Eggman's Fly Bot spy on them and decided to trick Eggman. By misinforming Fly Bot, the group lured Eggman into a prank which made Eggman desert technology, his lair included, due to its unreliability. Tails and his team soon after went into action when the island was randomly attacked by Eggman's robots and missiles, which were deployed by the Lightning Bolt Society who had taken Eggman's lair. After trying to fight the robots, Tails' team stormed Eggman's lair, where Eggman helped them drive the Lightning Bolts away while Eggman re-embraced tech.

While Tails was having a game with his friends, Amy revealed she was starting a new restaurant after having enough of Meh Burgers. Tails' team joined Chez Amy as its staff, but they later left Amy when she got caught up in her rivalry with Dave at Meh Burger However, Tails and his friends were soon called by Amy to help defend Chez Amy from badniks Even with Tails' providing aid in his plane, Chez Amy was destroyed, and the team returned to being customers at Meh Burger after helping rebuilt it from an Eggman attack. Tails later met Swifty the Shrew while out with his team and was quickly taken in by the shrew's coolness. The two got to hang out until Sonic, who found Swifty annoying, found them and Swifty challenged Sonic to a race where the loser would be banished from the Village. Disgusted by Swifty's arrogance, Tails rooted for Sonic at the race, which unfortunately ended in Swifty's victory. However, Eggman then arrived and unveiled it was all a plot staged by him and his Swifty robots, so Tails and his team got Mayor Fink to unbanish Sonic, who in turn defeated Eggman.

Tails eventually had his routines messed up by traps from Sticks, who tried protecting the team from the "curse of the Cross Eyed Moose". Seeking an end to this, Team Sonic followed Sticks to a marmoset named Monkey-Boy to remove the curse. Tails' team were subsequent sent to prove their worthiness by doing Monkey-Boy's chores, much to Tails' dismay, until they found Eggman attacking the marmoset. Making a deal with Monkey-Boy, Tails and his team got rid of Eggman while the marmoset rid them of their curse, allowing Team Sonic to head home. Later helping his team set up the Chili Dog Cook-Off, Tails prepared to enter using a special pepper he had bought, only to realize when Knuckles showed his pepper that it was a phony. At the cook-off, Tails and his team realized Knuckles had disappeared after going looking for a new pepper and so went searching for him. They found him a day later, having fainted from eating a pepper that gave him a strange dream.

Tails later helped foil Eggman's Spider Bomb plot, before assisting his team in Sticks' yard sale which Amy had forced upon her. While trying to have an techno-talk with Knuckles, Tails found Sticks' Burrow overrun by evil Froglodites which Amy had set free by removing the blockade of their caves in the burrow. As the frogs took Sticks into their caves, Team Sonic went in and rescued her, with Tails using his Hyper Exo Manifier made from Sticks' junk in the battle. Back outside, the team sealed the Froglodites' caves again. Sticks later tried rallying Tails and his team against Knuckles while he served as deputy mayor, but Tails was not worried until he saw the Village in chaos from Knuckles approving random bills, so Tails and his team joined the fellow-minded Eggman to stop Knuckles. While Knuckles' approval stamp ran out of ink, Eggman betrayed them by seizing the stamp to control the Village, although Tails wondered why they fought Eggman as he only wanted his trash picked up. Fortunately, the stamp was destroyed and Mayor Fink soon resumed his position.

Tails and Sonic eventually found Obliterator Bot on a rampage, but when they stopped it, Eggman revealed he was only shooting a movie. Tails however, suspected it was an evil plot and they walked out on Eggman's offer to have Sonic play himself for his movie. When Sonic did accept, Tails helped him rewrite the unsatisfying script when he came to his workshop. Coming to the movie premiere, Tails learned the movie was an evil plot to enslave the audience with hypnotism. Since it failed due to an error on Eggman's part though, everyone could leave.

Detecting an Eggman attack, Tails gathered his team to counter it, but when Sonic and Knuckles arrived, he heard Sonic had (unintentionally) insulted Mike the Ox by calling him "just a guy" which soon upset the entire Village. Much to Tails' dismay, his team was then dragged into Amy's sensitivity seminar alongside Sonic when the hedgehog tried to better his image. However, Tails returned to the seminar when Sonic got Mike injured by letting him join Team Sonic's fights and worsened his image, where he came along on a camping trip while Sonic left to retire. When Tails returned however, Sonic was back in business and had regained the Village's admiration, though Tails still came to Amy's seminar. One day, Tails met another Knuckles at their barbeque, whom Tails soon after deduced was another version from a Mirror Dimension. Though Tails worked on getting him back home, the alternate Knuckles forewent that to seek a solution at Eggman's. However, when their Knuckles began to fade away, Tails concluded that with two Knuckles in the same dimension, both dimensions would implode. Avoiding disaster, Tails was able to send the alternate Knuckles home when Sonic and the girls returned with him and the needed equipment.

While creating a device, Tails noticed his tools were stolen. Calling in Sonic, they accused Eggman at his lair but found out he was innocent. Having failed to set a trap, Tails and Sonic were taken to the thieves by Orbot and Cubot. They turned out to be Cubot prototypes who needed repairs, and as Tails helped them, his tools were returned. The duo soon after had to protect the prototypes from Eggman's attacks on them. With some luck, the two succeeded and set to bring them to a safe haven. Another time when Tails was enjoying some commodities unintentionally provided by Dave the Intern, he and his team had to stop Dave from hurting himself and others in Octopus Bot after he imprisoned Eggman and took control of his robots. Tails therefore helped keep everyone safe until Sonic returned with Eggman and stopped Octopus Bot. On the way home though, Tails fell for a prank set by the Lightning Bolt Society. On the day of New Year's eve, Team Sonic set up the Village party, with Tails using a new, albeit flawed gadget to decorate, while they warded off Eggman and his Ball Bots. While Tails later celebrated New Year in the Village, Eggman used his Slow Motion Machine to slow down time long enough for him to beat Sonic in something before New Year. However, Tails did not believe Eggman's claims of victory, as it happened too fast for him to see.

When the Justin Beaver fever hit the Village and turned all the females into crazy Justin fan girls, Tails and Knuckles joined Sonic's boy band Dreamboat Express so they could pass off as Justin's opening act to the bouncer Salty at Justin's set and investigate Justin's producer. There, they heard the producer was using music-based mind control to sell merchandise and planned to expand it at Justin's next concert. When they could not convince Amy and Sticks, Tails made a Measure-o-meter which he used during a sing-off between Justin and their band at the concert to find the frequency to break the mind control. They then formed the band Dude-itude and restored everyone's free will with their power rock ballet.

Developing a crush on Zooey, Tails began zoning out about her while helping Sonic and Knuckles, and stopping Eggman's Decimator Bot. When his team took notice of this, Tails admitted he was too shy to talk to Zooey and tried following his team's ideas on how to approach her, but all failed. Encountering Eggman, the doctor advised Tails to be himself before attacking the village. Taking Eggman's advise, Tails stopped the robot invasion in his own way, even telling his team to stand back, while saving Zooey from Giant Robot, which finally made Zooey reciprocated his feelings.

Later, as Knuckles rose to fame by starting a trash can trend at a photoshoot Team Sonic watched, Tails enjoyed the benefits of being a celebrity's friend. However, after Knuckles became the host for the Comedy Chimp Show, Tails was railed to save him from an Eggman attack on the studio, orchestrated by an envious Comedy Chimp. As Tails and his friends protected Knuckles, the echidna renounced his fame to rejoin his team and helped finish the fight. When finding his workshop on fire, Tails discovered Sonic, Knuckles, Amy and Perci inside it, and heard Sonic, Knuckles and Amy's exaggerated recollections of the fire's cause. After hearing the true events from Perci however, Tails realized his workshop's security system caused the fire. With his team free to leave, Tails fixed Perci's broken bike.

While Tails demonstrated his Super Antenna to his team, Knuckles began pursuing inventing, annoying Tails with his ideas. Soon after, Tails was goaded by Knuckles into competing with him in the Robot Battle Royale. Using his robot-controlling Hypno-bot, Tails got to the finals where he lost to Eggman when the doctor took control of Hypno-bot. Eggman then used Hypno-bot to take over Tails' inventions. While his team fought, Tails was inspired by Knuckles to use the echidna's Vacuu-Fan 2000 to sneak up on Hypno-bot and retake it as Vacuu-Fan 2000 was too base to be affected by Hypno-bot. After Tails got rid of Eggman with Hypno-bot however, it was destroyed before Tails could use it as a defense against Eggman. Later, Team Sonic tried to stay cool during a heatwave while fighting Badniks which Tails noticed were super-charged. When the Badniks went crazy though, Team Sonic checked on Eggman and saw he had captured the Archipelago Homeowners Association to avoid eviction. After freeing the association, whom Eggman came to an agreement with, Tails' team left.

Learning Amy was into Fuzzy Puppies, Tails and his team ridiculed her s they resumed their routines and Eggman fights. However, Amy's recent absence made Tails and his friends check on her and discovered that Amy and Eggman were "Fuzzy Puppy buddies." Keeping an eye on the pair at Puppy Con, Team Sonic prevented a rockslide seemingly caused by the Lightning Bolts, but then learned it was a distraction Eggman set up so he could steal a rare game piece. However, Amy resolved the situation while Tails stood back. Later beating Eggman again, Team Sonic agreed to Eggman's wish for a fair fight by facing him one-on-one. On his turn though, Tails got tricked by Eggman who took his MX-4180 Electroplasmatic Capsulator, making Sonic laugh at him and the rest for being fooled too. Still, Tails and co. helped Sonic when Eggman caught him with their own gear and worked together in shifts to beat Eggman, keeping their deal. However, the team encaged Sonic with Eggman to teach him a lesson.

After beating Eggman for the millionth time, Team Sonic got the Greatest Role Model of All Time Award. However, the crew's horsing around made the mayor hire D.B. Platypus to make them better role models, who got Tails and his team to follow strict rules that made Sticks leave. The team later tried to stop Eggman's theft of a trophy, but Platypus made them not use violence, leaving the team with no options to fight until Sticks came back and got rid of Platypus and the audience. Team Sonic thus went back to handeling Eggman in their own way. While stuck in Amy's House during a storm, Tails, Sonic, Knuckles and Sticks horsed around, driving Amy nuts. Finding the A Rose Without Thorns, a play written by Amy, they got upset at Amy for her portrayals of them in it. With Amy also mad at them for reading her stuff, the team fell apart as they all argued. Though Tails, Sonic, Knuckles and Sticks reconciled after a fight, Amy stayed mad since they had trashed her house, so they put up Amy's play for her as an apology. While it worked, they and the audience still went to Amy's House as a storm began.

As Tails hosted a dare between Sonic and Knuckles, the latter was inspired to make amends with Charlie. However, Knuckles ended up making Charlie a villain who would bully Knuckles with an Ancient weapon that Tails admired. Since Knuckles refused to do Charlie more harm, Tails and his team convinced him to fight back. After he defeated Charlie, the team joined Knuckles for a snack.

The Big Boom
On the beach, Tails, Knuckles and Amy came to Sonic's aid and helped him defeat Dr. Eggman and his Big Boy. Shortly after, Sticks came and told them that Tails' house had been robbed. What Tails' discovered though, was that his whole house had been stolen by what Sticks described as a "cyborg rock golem" seemingly made by Eggman, that rose from underground. As Tails complained, Sticks seemingly caught the scent of the robot. Though it turned out Sticks was only smelling the grass, the team still found the Rock-cyborg by following its footprints and Tails helped set an ambush for the robot after checking on his house. With Sticks, Knuckles and Amy's aid, Tails made it fall over and allowed Sonic to destroy it, which made his house fall back on its foundation.

Not long after, Tails, Sonic, Amy and Sticks fought Eggman when he returned in his Big Boy, only to face Knuckles who had teamed up with Eggman because he had had enough of Amy's criticism. In his carelessness, Tails got himself captured along with his team and put into the Big Boy's cargo hold. Knuckles revealed he pretended to work for Eggman to fool him, but when Amy depressed him over his plan's flaws, Tails figured out how to restore the echidna's confidence and had him attack Eggman. Tails and the others were then freed by Sonic while Knuckles drove Eggman away. After getting rid of Orbot and Cubot however, Tails found Amy panicking over her piko hammer being gone. Back at Amy's House, Tails, Sonic and Knuckles only made Amy freak more out, so Sticks sent them out to find the piko hammer. Despite combing the island, Tails found nothing, but as he and Sonic returned, the piko hammer suddenly fell into Sonic's hand. After Amy got her hammer back, Tails went home for the night.

Agreeing to a climatic battle with the Big Boy, Team Sonic promised Eggman a battle, but Tails, Sonic, Knuckles and Amy later forgot about it. Eventually, Eggman, Orbot and Cubt tracked them down in the Big Boy, and Team Sonic began fighting him, but soon saw they were at a disadvantage against the upgraded Big Boy. Coming to their aid was Sticks, who claimed she had found an all-powerful weapon: the Rock of Justice. Exasperated, Tails and the rest refused to believe a rock could aid them and continued the fight. However, Sticks saved them with the Rock of Justice by throwing it at the Big Boy, causing it to ricochet into the mech and destroy it. After scaring Eggman and his lackeys scared off, Tails was in awe of the Rock of Justice, only to hear that its power had been used up. Tails paid his respect to the weapon and helped Sticks back home with Amy.

Boom Shaka-laka and Worlds Unite
Tails and his team came help Sonic when Eggman attacked with his minions, though Eggman slipped away. As the team went to Meh Burger, Eggman came to ask for help to operate his rides at the Eggtoberfest, which Eggman hoped to gain the villagers' trust with. Though complying, Tails and his friends' intended to keep an eye on things. Sure enough, Eggman's army attacked the villagers not long after, which Tails and the team stopped and were hailed for by the villagers.

Tails and Team Sonic saved Sonic again when he was attacked by Eggman's Courier Robot. The robot then became a video phone with Eggman on it, who challenged Team Sonic to a fair race in his Go-kart Pan-island Grand Prix. Sonic accepted the challenge on the team's behalf, but Sticks refused to join Tails and the rest since she suspected it was a trap. At the event, in go-karts donated by Eggman, Tails and his team took the lead as the race began. Tails was soon after nearly pushed off-road by Orbot and Cubot, but when the robots crashed, Tails got suspicious and stopped to examine his kart while secretly being scanned. While his search was inconclusive, he carelessly let him and his kart roll off a cliff. However, Tails survived and came to Sonic's rescue with Knuckles and Amy just as he fell into a ravine due to Eggman. Instead of going after Eggman however, Tails and the others were convinced by Sonic to first let him beat Eggman in the race to prove he could win fairly. After getting Sonic back on course, Tails and the others arrived in Tails' Plane when Sonic was attacked by Eggman in his Spider-Kart, where they distracted Eggman long enough for Sonic to win the race. Tails then joined his team in destroying the Spider-Kart and making Eggman depart, and Tails received Sonic's heartfelt gratitude, unaware of where Sticks had gone to. When Sticks reappeared, Tails joined her at a campfire with his team to hear her story about fighting an evil robot alongside an interdimensional army. Like his team though, Tails did not believe this absurd story.

While Tails worked on his Dance Instructor Bot, Sonic sought his aid on what to do with Kyle the Gorilla who was mooching off of him. Ever sensible, Tails told Sonic to get Kyle a job. Tails soon finished his robot and practiced dancing with it, unaware Eggman that spied on him.

Personality
Tails is a friendly young fox with a plucky "can do" attitude and an inherent optimism. The most creative in his group, Tails is a proficient tinker with a big imagination. He is constantly furnishing his mind with big dreams of epic inventions to not only give his team the edge but also make life easier. While some of his creations are brilliant however, some are questionable and not always reliable. Nevertheless, Tails takes pride in his creations and is very emotionally attached to them, as seen in the case of UT, his tools, the Tailsmobile and his plane, to the point of calling them his "babies" and risking his own well-being for them rather than leaving them to an unfortunate fate. For all the mishaps he may cause, Tails can always be relied to come through for other people. Unlike Sonic who runs headlong into trouble, Tails plans out the best possible approach to take on a challenge. Logically orientated, Tails relies on facts and science over questionable theories, and believes that every occurrence has an logically explanation.

At times, Tails can be shy in the face of the unknown, but his friends will always help push him out of his comfort zone. Sometimes though, he feels like he has to prove himself to his teammates, like when applied to be Sonic's sidekick again after Sonic fired him or when he isolated himself until he had fixed his Unbolterizer.

Powers and abilities
Gifted with a pair of twin-tails, Tails can utilize these unique appendages to achieve flight by twirling his twin-tails around like rotary blades, like a helicopter. He can also use them as a turbine to propel himself forward, allowing him to move almost as fast as Sonic. By using his twin tails as rear propellers, Tails can also move underwater with great ease.

Tails is a genius-leveled mechanic and inventor, capable of creating many forms of robots, programs and even devices capable of bending the laws of physics. His remarkable intelligence and skills are so well-founded that he can create advanced programs in a very short time and invent a car that can circle the earth on half a jar of kosher pickles while busy with other tasks. His ingenuity and strategic mind is as well demonstrated in battle where he can turn something as simple as a film projector into a weapon. He is well an expert air pilot and one of the best aerial fighters that can use a plane in battle.

Weapons and equipment
In combat, Tails uses mostly objects from the surroundings or his own gadgets and tools rather than engaging foes hand-to-hand. As such, his arsenal is wide-ranged and at most random. This includes anything from his trusty monkey wrench to his Hyper Exo Manifier to a modified film projector. In Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric and Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal in particular, Tails made usage of long-ranged gadgets, including smoke-bombs, homing bombs that stick to their targets, and his companion Buddy Bot that can attack enemies.

Like the rest of his team has a some point, Tails wields the Enerbeam, an piece of tech from the Ancients. This tool lets him create an energy tether that he can use to latch onto objects or create a makeshift whip/rope. Tails in particular has incorporated his Enerbeam into his standard gear, allowing for everyday usage.

Sonic the Hedgehog
Tails is the best friend and sidekick of Sonic the Hedgehog. Tails in particular looks up Sonic and admires him for many of the things he can do, including his speed, cunning, combat skills and his lovely singing voice.

Having been together for a long time, Tails shares a brotherly relationship with Sonic and is his equal partner in Sonic's adventures. They are extremely close, with both being willing to sacrifice their life for the other. Tails will also always be there to back Sonic up (though sometimes to the point where he is patronizing him). However, Tails has his limits for how much of Sonic's snarkiness he can take and he is not afraid to tell Sonic wherever he is wrong, even if it means ridiculing him.

Sticks the Badger
Sticks the Badger is one of Tails' teammate and close friends, though there is an opposing dynamic between them. While Tails is an inherent optimist and relies on facts and science, Sticks is generally suspicious and has crazy ideas which causes a great deal of bricking. Like his other friends, Tails usually disregards Sticks' questionable theories and ideas, only to be proven wrong in the end.

Zooey
Zooey is Tails' love interest. When first crushing on Zooey, Tails would often zone out about her, but since he was too shy to talk to her, he would get nervous and lose control when she talked to him. Desperate to get closer to her, Tails' awkward attempts to impress Zooey only pushed her away. Once he started being himself though, Tails finally won her over after he saved her from Giant Robot, which she signified with a kiss.
