Forum:Explain "flikies"

what are the "flikies", specifically? at first they seem to be nothing more than an eccentric extention of tails super powers, but later there's "save the flikies" game, etc., implying theyer more? if theyer perfectly normal inhabitants of any univrese, why/how do they pop up for tails super form? are they in any other sonic story, or is the concept completely abandoned outside the original games? do we ever see tails super form w/ flikies beyond yhe original games?? (why not...?! they added to tails' awesomness...!)
