Hyper Tails, originally known as Super Tails, is a transformation that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It is the Hyper State of Miles "Tails" Prower, achieved by harnessing the power of the seven Super Emeralds.

Appearance[]

When transformed into Hyper Tails, Tails possesses an appearance identical to that of Super Tails, where his body is pulsing in golden shade, aside having multiple super transformed Flickies surrounding him.

Overview[]

In the lock-on game Sonic 3 & Knuckles, Hyper Tails was known as Super Tails in original releases. In-game, the transformation can only be obtained by collecting the seven Super Emeralds while playing as Tails.[1] The player can then activate Tails' Super State by collecting fifty Rings and then press the jump button twice. While Tails is transformed, the player's Ring count drops by one Ring every second. When the Ring count hits zero, the Act Boss is defeated, except for the first two bosses in Sky Sanctuary, or if Tails enters a Bonus Stage, the transformation ends.

In the original release of Sonic Origins, the name of this state was renamed to Hyper Tails. However, following the game's version 2.00 patch and the release of Sonic Origins Plus, its name was reverted to Super Tails in-game.

In gameplay, Hyper Tails is invincible and can move and fly faster. However, unlike Hyper Sonic and Hyper Knuckles, he can still drown underwater. While transformed, Hyper Tails also summons four super transformed Flickies which follow him around. These Flickies will home into any nearby enemy, including bosses, and deal one hit worth of damage, even against Hyudoros. However, they will not attack Knuckles in the boss fight in the Hidden Palace Zone.

When Hyper Tails' form wears off, his Flickies also revert to normal and fly away.

Powers and abilities[]

As Hyper Tails, Tails possesses abilities far surpassing his regular ones, and even those of Super Tails. Hyper Tails can also manipulate Chaos Emerald energy to a certain degree, like passing it onto Flickies to let them achieve a Super State of their own.
