History[]

Past[]

Miles Prower was born on West Side Island[4] with a genetic abnormality that gave him two tails instead of one. Because of this, Miles was given the nickname "Tails", though he also became a target of teasing and bullying.

At some point, Tails built himself a small house on the southern tip of Cocoa Island. Serving as his personal laboratory, he would occasionally spend time working on his projects there and living on the island for as long as he pleased.[14]

Classic Era[]

Death Egg saga[]

Sonic the Hedgehog 2[]
Tails-Bullied-By-Bullies-Sonic-Origins-Intro-Cutscene

Tails being bullied by two other foxes, from Sonic Origins.

In Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Tails had taken up residence on West Side Island where he was bullied by the native animals for his two tails.[15] One day while walking around alone and sad, he saw Sonic the Hedgehog run past him.[16] Seeing Sonic run like the wind made Tails admire him for how cool he was. With a change of heart, Tails resolved to become as cool as Sonic and began following him. However, Tails was too shy to show himself to Sonic and hid whenever Sonic noticed him. Though Sonic ignored him, Tails still followed him and eventually earned his attention by keeping up with his speed.[15]

During an early afternoon, Tails discovered Sonic's biplane, the Tornado, on the beach. Fascinated by the craft, Tails investigated it, but shyly stayed away from Sonic napping under it. Suddenly, an explosion erupted from the woods, and Tails sought shelter under the Tornado where Sonic stood by him. There, he saw the destruction of the island and Badniks digging in the ground.

As Sonic ran into the attack, Tails reflectively followed him.[15] Arriving in the inferno, Tails and Sonic discovered it was Sonic's archenemy, Dr. Eggman, who was behind this. The doctor had arrived on West Side Island where he turned the Animals into Badniks to find the Chaos Emeralds, which were currently on the island, so he could create the Death Egg to conquer the world. Tails and Sonic thus teamed up to find the Chaos Emeralds and save the island.

The Real Sky Chase

Traveling across West Side Island, the duo claimed the Chaos Emeralds. Along the way, Tails proved to be a great ally to Sonic and the two build a strong bond. After freeing West Side Island, Tails and Sonic followed the doctor to the Wing Fortress in the Tornado,[17] but when they got there, Tails and the Tornado were shot down by the Wing Fortress' lasers. However, Tails returned in time with a rocket engine-enhanced Tornado to help Sonic get to Eggman in his space rocket.

Back on the ground, Tails watched the Death Egg explode thanks to Sonic, and took the Tornado back into the sky to look for Sonic. There, he saved Sonic from his fall from space and the two of them flew through the sky together.[17] At the end of their adventure, Tails and Sonic had become best friends, and Tails was made his idol's sidekick.

Sonic 3 & Knuckles[]
Tails Sonic3

Tails on Angel Island, from Sonic the Hedgehog 3.

In Sonic the Hedgehog 3, Tails' Jewel Reader picked up a strong Chaos Emerald energy reaction out at sea. Connecting to a tidal wave a few days earlier, Tails consult Sonic and the two left in the Tornado to investigate the reaction as their next big adventure.[18]

When Tails and Sonic reached the location, they found the legendary floating isle, Angel Island, except that the island was kept at the ocean's surface by the Death Egg, which Tails thought they had destroyed, but had crash-landed on the island instead, forcing it down into the ocean. Seeing that the Death Egg was currently being rebuilt, the duo set out to destroy the Death Egg for good. When they got to the island however, Knuckles the Echidna, the guardian of Angel Island and the Master Emerald, ambushed Sonic and forced the Chaos Emeralds out of Sonic just as he turned into Super Sonic. Knuckles, having being tricked by Dr. Eggman into thinking Tails and Sonic wanted to steal the Master Emerald, then stole the Chaos Emeralds and escaped to hide them.

Despite this, Tails and Sonic continued onward, traveling across Angel Island to freed it from Eggman's control. They traveled to Hydrocity Zone, Marble Garden Zone, Carnival Night Zone and IceCap Zone getting though the various Robots Eggman made to ambush them. Along the way, Tails and Sonic were repeatedly ambushed by Knuckles, but the duo survived each encounter, and recovered the Chaos Emeralds. Arriving at the Launch Base Zone, Tails and Sonic got onboard the Death Egg just as it took off, where Eggman had come to smite Sonic with excessive force using a mech called Big Arms. Sonic still defeated Eggman, with their battle taking its toll on the Death Egg at a critical point of its launch, which made it crash into Lava Reef.[17]

As Tails and Sonic landed in Mushroom Hill after escaping the falling Death Egg, they saw the space station survive another crash landing, this time into the island's volcano. The duo thus left once more to find the Death Egg and destroy it and as well discover Dr. Eggman's fate.[17][19] While passing through Mushroom Hill, Tails and Sonic saw Knuckles coming through a hidden doorway. Once Knuckles was gone, Tails and Sonic looked inside the room hidden by the doorway, where they found a Giant Ring that took them to the Emerald Shrine in the Hidden Palace, the location of the Master Emerald.[19] Riddled with questions, Tails and Sonic returned to Mushroom Hill to continue their search.

Eventually, Tails and Sonic got to the Hidden Palace Zone on their own, where Sonic defeated Knuckles in a battle when all of a sudden they heard something.[17] Tails and Sonic then followed Knuckles as he went to check the Master Emerald, where they saw Eggman steal it so he could power the Death Egg. As Knuckles realize he had been duped as Eggman fled, he befriended Tails and Sonic and guided them to the Sky Sanctuary to reach the Death Egg, but because Knuckles was too exhausted from the last struggles, they had to leave him behind. On their way through the sanctuary, Sonic and Tails fought Eggrobos and Mecha Sonic Mk. II several times, where they in the final encounter used a crumbling pillar to get on the Death Egg.

Oddly it seem to work

Upon defeat of the contraption, which resulted in the Death Egg's complete destruction, Sonic gave chase to Eggman in space as the doctor escaped with the Master Emerald while Tails returned to earth. There, he caught Sonic on the Tornado when he returned with the Master Emerald. The two of them then towed the Master Emerald back to Angel Island where it belonged. Tails and Sonic then made peace with Knuckles before departing themselves.

Now imprisoned in the Crystal Egg, Tails wrote a note to Sonic, explaining to him what happened to all the animals and said that the doctor would only free Tails if Sonic brought him the Chaos Emeralds needed to reach him. Tails also warned Sonic in the note that Eggman had his six Master Robots waiting for him.[20] Coming to Tails' rescue though was Sonic, who took the fight to Eggman.

After Sonic defeated him, Eggman escaped through a teleporter, which Tails shortly after emerged from. Though confused at how he got there, Tails was happily reunited with Sonic and the duo set off for new adventures together.

Seeking to stop Eggman, Tails and Sonic mounted an air assault on the fortress, only to be blasted in mid-fight by Eggman's cannons. While Tails got away in his and Sonic's aircraft, Sonic got knocked into the deep waters around the fortress.[23]

In Tails' Skypatrol, Tails left Sonic to find an adventure of his own. He eventually found a small island which was seemingly uninhabited and had mine cart tracks weaving all around. As Tails began to fret that Dr. Eggman was behind some sort of operation on the island, he sensed danger from an approaching cart and hid. From his hiding place, he saw an old witch named Witchcart arrive and claim the island as her own while threatening to turn those that opposed her into crystal.

As Witchcart left with her henchmen, Tails pursued the villains, firm with determination to save the island.[25]

Tails Adventure[]

Tails Adventure Beginnings

Tails having awoken to see Cocoa Island under siege, from Tails Adventure.

In Tails Adventure, sometime prior to meeting Sonic, Tails was taking a nap in the forest on Cocoa Island when he was suddenly awoken by the sound of explosions. Amidst the chaos, the fox met a frantic Flicky who explained that the Battle Kukku Empire, led by Great Battle Kukku, had invaded Cocoa Island in search for the Chaos Emeralds located on the island so their leader could conquer the world. During this, Tails saw the bird dictator leading his battalion through the burning forest. Realizing the threat, Tails mustered all his courage and set out to liberate the island.[14]

While liberating the island and recovered the Chaos Emeralds, Tails gained an enemy in Speedy. When the fox infiltrated the Battle Bird Empire's undersea stronghold, the Battle Fortress, he was trapped by Dr. Fukurokov, but managed to outwit the doctor and escape the Battle Fortress as it rose into the sky. Tails then invaded the Battle Fortress in his Sea Fox, where he defeated Speedy and afterwards Great Battle Kukku. He then escaped the Battle Fortress in the Sea Fox as it crashed into the sea. Afterwards, the fox returned to his workshop to build a larger model of the Remote Robot, only to have it explode in his face.

Tails giving an overview of the Death Egg II with Sonic in his workshop, from Sonic the Fighters.

In Sonic the Fighters, Tails discovered that armies of robots were laying waste to every peaceful place on the planet. Tails suspected that Dr. Eggman was behind this, but had no clue as to where the robots were coming from. Luckily, Tails received an emergency message from Espio that contained a video of where the robots originated from: Eggman's newest orbital space station, the Death Egg II. Fortunately, Tails had invented the Lunar Fox, a vessel that could reach the Death Egg II. However, the vessel had only one seat and needed all the Chaos Emeralds to take off. As such, Tails and Sonic set off to gather the Emeralds from their friends (and enemies), who were safeguarding them, from around the globe so Sonic could use the Lunar Fox. On their first stop however, Sonic and Knuckles (one of the Emerald guardians) got into an argument over who was strong enough for the mission to destroy the Death Egg II. Before the two frenemies could fight, Tails got between them and convinced them to fight fair and squarely over the spot in the ring with the other Emerald guardians, and the one who could win against all the contestants got to ride the Lunar Fox. A fighting tournament was subsequently established.[27]

At the end of the tournament, the victor used the Chaos Emeralds to go to the Death Egg II and made it self-destruct moments after escaping it.

Sonic 3D Blast[]

In Sonic 3D Blast, Tails traveled to Flicky Island with Sonic and Knuckles. Having heard legends about the island's Flickies' being the key to find the Chaos Emeralds, the trio journeyed to there to find these birds. When they got there, however, the island was in pandemonium because of Dr. Eggman who had established a base on the island from where he turned the Flickies into Badniks and used them to search for the Chaos Emeralds on the island.[28] Thus, Tails and Knuckles joined forces with Sonic and helped him find the Chaos Emeralds while Sonic saved the Flickies and defeated Eggman.

Sonic R[]

In Sonic R, Tails was with Sonic on an adventure when they saw an advertisement of the World Grand Prix, a racing competition to determine the fastest in the world, and Tails suggested to Sonic that they should enter, with Tails seeking to test himself. At first, Sonic was not interested, but when he saw Dr. Eggman on the list of participants he left to register, leaving Tails to chase after him.[29] At the Grand Prix, Tails competed with not only Sonic, but also their friends, new and old enemies, and Dr. Eggman, who were using the others to locate the Chaos Emeralds on the race tracks. At the conclusion, Tails and the others secured the Chaos Emeralds before Dr. Eggman, foiling the doctor's plans once more.

Modern Era[]

Sonic Adventure[]

Tails showing his Chaos Emerald

Tails showing off his Chaos Emerald, from Sonic Adventure DX: Director's Cut.

In Sonic Adventure, its enhanced port Sonic Adventure DX: Director's Cut, and the 2010 remaster, after Sonic left on a journey, Tails devoted himself to tinkering in his workshop.[30] At some point, the fox found a Chaos Emerald, which he decided to use for a test flight on a new plane. However, the Emerald's power was too much for the aircraft to handle, causing it to suddenly crash at Emerald Coast. Fortunately, and much to his surprise,[31] Sonic came at the scene to save him.[32] The fox then took his friend to see his project but then encountered Dr. Eggman, who demanded his Chaos Emerald. Despite beating Eggman's Egg Hornet, the doctor snatched the Chaos Emerald and revealed Chaos, whom he transformed into Chaos 1 with the Emerald and told his plan to make the creature invincible with all seven Chaos Emeralds and then build Eggmanland upon Station Square's ruins. Tails thus left with Sonic to find the Emeralds before Eggman.

Tails and Sonic soon found two Chaos Emeralds, but they then were ambushed by Dr. Eggman with sleeping gas who took one of their Emeralds. Unshaken, Tails and Sonic soon found one another Chaos Emeralds but were then attacked by Knuckles, who Eggman had duped into believing they had stolen parts of the Master Emerald. In the ensuing fight, Tails and Sonic lost their Chaos Emeralds, which were taken Dr. Eggman and given to Chaos 2, turning him into Chaos 4, who Tails and his friends beat. As Eggman escaped in the Egg Carrier, Tails and Sonic followed him in the Tornado but were shot down.

When landing, Tails was briefly knocked out and had a dream of his first meeting with Sonic. To get the Egg Carrier, Tails figured they needed the Tornado 2 and found a Chaos Emerald for it which was taken by Froggy. When he caught Froggy, Tails met a mysterious light that took him into the past where he met Tikal. Back in the present, Tails had a brief meeting with Big the Cat who had been looking for Froggy who quickly fled. Fortunately, Tails got the Chaos Emerald back and used it for his Tornado 2 to look for Sonic. When he found Sonic, Tails took him to the Egg Carrier where Amy was held captive. When they found Amy with Eggman however, they had a brief skirmish when E-102 Gamma attacked them. As Egg Carrier then began to lose altitude, Tails flew Amy to safety upon Sonic's orders.

Tails vs Egg Walker

Tails facing the Egg Walker alone, from Sonic Adventure DX: Director's Cut.

Bringing Amy to Station Square, Tails saw Dr. Eggman firing a missile in an attempt to destroy Station Square, only for the missile to turn out to be a dud. When Eggman left to detonate it, Tails realized he could not depend on Sonic to save him this time and that he needed to do this himself. Though Tails got to the missile and disarmed it, Eggman unleashed his Egg Walker to attack. Keeping confidence in his independence, Tails fought and defeated Eggman all by himself. Afterwards, he was hailed by Station Square's citizens as a hero and soon met up with Sonic again.

Following that, Tails left to find the Tornado 2 when he learned Angel Island had fallen. As he and Sonic when there, they found both Knuckles and Eggman and learned that Chaos, still alive, had rebelled against Eggman and now had six Chaos Emeralds. Sonic and Tails soon headed out to find the last Chaos Emerald in the Tornado 2 before Chaos, but Chaos beat them to it. Tails then traveled to Station Square which was attacked by Perfect Chaos, where he found one of the drained Chaos Emeralds and brought to Sonic while his other friends brought the remaining six, telling him that he could still use their positive energy to defeat Chaos. After Super Sonic had defeated Perfect Chaos and neutralized his negative energy, Tails watched Chaos depart with Tikal but then noticed Sonic had already left for his next adventure.

Sonic Shuffle[]

Tails (Sonic Shuffle Opening)

Tails entering Maginaryworld, from Sonic Shuffle.

In Sonic Shuffle, Tails, Sonic, Knuckles, and Amy were suddenly taken to the Temple of Light in Maginaryworld. There, they met Lumina Flowlight who had brought them here to help her restore the Perfect Precioustone which had been shattered by Void and made its protector, Illumina, vanish. If the pieces remained lost, Void would destroy Maginaryworld, so Tails and the others agreed to help. While recovering the Precioustone pieces and restoring the places affected by Void, Tails occasionally met Void in his dreams. Though they initially opposed Void, Tails and his team soon saw that Void was lonely and sad which touched their hearts, and they realized that he and Lumina were two halves of the same being.

After regathering the lost Precioustones in the Temple of Light, Tails' team was forced to head there when Void went for the Perfect Precioustone. There, Void turned into a monster as his despair peeked. After beating Void, Tails and his friends found Lumina in despair since the Perfect Precioustone was not recovering. When Sonic found Void in the form of a dark gem, Tails helped Lumina accept Void by elaborating on how negative feelings were needed for dreams to exist. Having cheered up Lumina, Tails and the others saw her restore the Perfect Precioustone, and Lumina and Void merging back into their original form, Illumina. With Maginaryworld restored to an even better place, Tails and the gang received Illumina's gratitude before returning home.

Sonic Adventure 2[]

Tails to Prison Island

Tails heading out to save Sonic, from Sonic Adventure 2.

In Sonic Adventure 2, Tails was watching TV and happened to come across the news, which revealed that Sonic had been arrested for doing a bank robbery. Believing that his friend was not the actual culprit, he hopped in his Cyclone and headed straight towards Prison Island, where the hedgehog was imprisoned, to liberate him.[33] There, he found Amy being chased by Dr. Eggman and defended her until the doctor left. Hearing she had come to free Sonic too, the heroes teamed up and successfully infiltrated the prison to free the alleged criminal. When the island then began to explode, the fox and the two hedgehogs escaped at the last moment.

Tails new idea

Tails finding a way to locate Dr. Eggman, from Sonic Adventure 2.

At one point, Tails would get rewarded with a Chaos Emerald for having saved Station Square from Eggman's missile. Traveling to Central City, the fox, Sonic and Amy saw the doctor's broadcast, where he revealed the Space Colony ARK and displayed the Eclipse Cannon, powered by six Chaos Emeralds, by blowing up half of the moon, before demanding world control within twenty four hours or he would fire at earth. Figuring he could use his Emerald to locate the villain due to the gems' attraction, Tails got to work while the blue hedgehog distracted the police as they arrived. However, the fox was unable to get a signal and instead found a transcript in the President's limousine which they could use to find their nemesis. Contacting Sonic on his findings, the two met up in the limo, where Tails located Eggman on the Space Colony ARK.

With Knuckles' help, Tails, Sonic and Amy found Eggman's base where they hoped to find a space ship to the ARK so they could destroy the Eclipse Cannon. When they reached the center of the base, the group was ambushed by the doctor and his Egg Golem. After the blue hedgehog defeated the robot, the other heroes got a space shuttle to take off in. While en route to the ARK, the echidna tried to take control of the shuttle when a stray asteroid made him lose his Emerald Shards, causing the group to crash land on the station. On board, Tails provided a plan; giving Sonic a fake Emerald he had made, he told him to insert it into the Eclipse Cannon when he shut off the power, thereby destroying the cannon from the inside. On route however, the fox learned that Amy was held captive by Eggman and was threatened to be killed unless they gave the doctor their Chaos Emerald.

Tails defeated Eggman

Tails after defeating Dr. Eggman, from Sonic Adventure 2.

Meeting up with Sonic at Eggman's location, they planned to have him take their fake Emerald. The doctor, however, saw through this and trapped Sonic, with Tails accidentally confirming his suspicions that the "Chaos Emerald" the hedgehog was going to give him was fake when Eggman accused Sonic of this.[34] The fox was then entrusted by his friend to finish the fight as the latter was rejected into space in a capsule that soon exploded. Determined to fulfill the hedgehog's last wish, Tails defeated his nemesis, but then received to his joy a transmission from Sonic, revealing he had survived the explosion and watched him destroy the Eclipse Cannon. In the meantime, however, Eggman took the last, real Chaos Emerald and left while the heroes were distracted.

As Tails met up with everyone, the Space Colony ARK had begun a collision course with earth. He and all the others then saw a recording of Gerald Robotnik announcing to the world that the station would crash into the planet and destroy it as his revenge at humanity for the death of his granddaughter, Maria. Banding together with Eggman, the fox and his group came up with the plan of using the Master Emerald to deactivate the cannon's core, which was powered by the seven Chaos Emeralds, to stop its crash course, with Eggman and Tails directly working together to destroy security doors. During Eggman's portion of the plan, Tails also gave radio guidance to him. Tails soon got Sonic and Knuckles to the core, but after deactivating the Emeralds, the Biolizard merged with the ARK, becoming the Finalhazard and keeping the colony on its collision course. Soon after, the fox provided advice to Super Sonic and Super Shadow over transmissions as they fought and defeated the creature. Following the Space Colony ARK's return to orbit after the defeat of the villain, Tails found Sonic returning alone, informing them that Shadow had seemingly died in the fight. He then had a heart-to-heart talk with Eggman about Gerald before they returned to earth.

Sonic Advance series[]

Sonic Advance[]

In Sonic Advance, Tails joined forces with Sonic, Knuckles, and Amy to stop Dr. Eggman from obtaining the seven Chaos Emeralds. Over the course of their adventure, Tails and the others got the Chaos Emeralds first and chased the doctor to the X-Zone. After they defeated the Egg X, Tails, Knuckles and Amy returned to earth while Super Sonic faced Eggman in a final confrontation on the moon. There, they awaited Sonic's return but grew confused when he did not show up. A few days later, Tails was searching for Sonic in the Tornado when he found Super Sonic flying through the sky, and Tails welcomed him back.

Sonic Advance 2[]

In Sonic Advance 2, Tails was kidnapped alongside Knuckles by Dr. Eggman when the evil scientist attempted once more to create the Eggman Empire. Fortunately, Tails was freed from Dr. Eggman by Sonic at Music Plant. Tails thanked Sonic for the rescue, but as Sonic tried to take off, Tails joined him in the fight against Eggman.

After freeing Knuckles and hunting down and seemingly beating Eggman, Tails, Sonic, Knuckles, Cream and Cheese found Vanilla who had gone missing, only to see her being kidnapped by Eggman in his new mech. Tails then witnessed Sonic using the Chaos Emeralds to become Super Sonic and taking off to rescue Vanilla and stop Eggman. When Sonic returned with Vanilla, Tails was thanked by Sonic for his help. However, Tails soon after noticed that Sonic had left on his own again.

Sonic Advance 3[]
Sonic and Tails seeing the Earth split apart

Tails and Sonic witnessing the planet being split apart, from Sonic Advance 3.

In Sonic Advance 3, Tails was hanging out with Sonic when they saw Dr. Eggman splitting the earth into seven regions with Chaos Control so he could turn each region into a part of the Eggman Empire. Tails and Sonic thus set out to fix the planet and get the Chaos Emeralds before Eggman.

During their adventure, Sonic and Tails met Knuckles, Amy, and Cream who joined them. Along the way, Sonic also faced Dr. Eggman's newest creation, Gemerl, a rebuilt version of Emerl. Eventually, Tails and his friends made it to the Emerald Altar where they beat the Hyper Eggrobo and used the Master Emerald to return the world to normal. Later, Tails and the others found Sonic after his battle with Ultimate Gemerl and welcomed him back before following him out on new adventures. When Gemerl's remains were later discovered by Cream and her mother, Tails rebuild the robot and restored his predecessor's friendly personality.

Sonic Battle[]

In Sonic Battle, Tails saw Sonic having a brief fight with Shadow. When Tails got there, Sonic showed him a robot called the Gizoid he had found and asked him to take a look at it while he interrogated Rouge. Taking the Gizoid to his lab, Tails discovered it evolved with each Chaos Emerald inserted into it and that it could copy fighting moves before his computer crashed from data overload. Meanwhile, Tails heard the news saying that similar robots were robbing jewel stores, much to his worry. When Sonic returned, Tails told him everything he had learned, and they decided to train the Gizoid.

After some training, Tails and Sonic decided to see if Knuckles had a Chaos Emerald to help the Gizoid, whom the hedgehog named "Emerl", evolve. On the way, they met an E-121 Phi and Chaos Gamma but defeated both. When they arrived at Knuckles’, however, Knuckles mistook Emerl for an E-121 Phi and attacked him. After Emerl beat Knuckles, Tails and Sonic explained everything and got Knuckles' Chaos Emerald which they gave to Emerl.

Tails Sonic Battle

Tails taking Emerl to the Central Lab, from Sonic Battle.

Later on, Tails grew worried about Emerl's behavior and decided to take him to a full examination in the lab in Central City since his own computer was down. After convincing Sonic to let him go with Emerl alone, Tails and Emerl got to the labs, only for security to deny them access to it. Soon after, Tails met Rouge who offered to help them get into the labs, but Tails was suspicious about her motives. Regardless, Tails and Emerl received a pass from Rogue after fighting her and got into the Central Lab. There, Tails discovered that Emerl was an ancient weapon of mass destruction bound to go out of control. Just then, however, Tails and Emerl were then attacked by Guard Robos for accessing restricted information.

After defeating the robots, Tails and Emerl tried to escape but were then attacked by Shadow, who wanted Emerl destroyed. Tails, however, would not let Shadow do it and fought him until Rouge arrived and took Shadow with her. Escaping to Holy Summit, Tails met up with Knuckles and told him to come with them to hear about Emerl. However, they were then forced to fight Chaos Gamma who blocked their way. Eventually, Knuckles held Chaos Gamma back alone, allowing Tails and Emerl to escape. Reunited with Sonic, with Rouge soon after joining them, Tails told him about Emerl's true nature and that he could not reprogram Emerl as he was too advanced. However, Rouge revealed that they could reset Emerl by inserting all seven Chaos Emeralds into him and giving him an unknown keyword. As Rouge left, Tails attempted in vain to stop a fight between Sonic, Emerl, and Knuckles when Knuckles arrived.

Some time later, Tails was practicing with Emerl and Sonic when Amy arrived, scaring Sonic off. Tails told Amy about Emerl but accidentally made Amy think Sonic was practicing with Emerl to raise a child with Amy. Too scared to tell Amy otherwise, Tails left to find Sonic, but When he returned, Amy told him Emerl was kidnapped by Rouge and he left to inform Sonic. Later, Tails and Knuckles aided Sonic when he fought Rouge to get Emerl back, with Rouge eventually surrendering Emerl.

A while later, Tails was alone with Emerl when Knuckles came to train Emerl. However, when they heard the news saying an E-121 Phi had appeared Knuckles and Emerl went to deal with it. When they returned, they gave Tails some Emerald Shards and Tails figured out he could make a whole Chaos Emerald of they brought two more shards. Knuckles and Emerl soon came back with more shards and Tails assembled a whole Chaos Emerald which he gave to Emerl.

Later, Tails met Amy who tricked him into telling where Sonic was. Soon after, Amy and Emerl came with five Emerald Shards and Tails assembled a full Chaos Emerald from them which they gave to Emerl. Later, Tails and Sonic left Emerl in Amy's and Cream’s care, while they checked a lead on a Chaos Emerald, which turned out to be false. A while later, after Emerl had been reset of his destructive programming by Shadow, Tails met Emerl again, who had come to fight him and was defeated.

Later, Tails saw Dr. Eggman reveal his newest Death Egg and its Final Egg Blaster. Meeting up with Sonic and Emerl about the news, Tails feared it was a trap, but nevertheless prepared a teleporter to take them to the Death Egg, though it could only take one of the time. As Emerl was chosen to stop Eggman, Tails send Emerl off to the Death Egg and watched him fight Eggman through a monitor. When Eggman was defeated, however, Eggman destroyed some start with the Final Egg Blaster, causing Emerl to revert to his original programming. However, Eggman could not control Emerl as excepted, and Emerl prepared to fire the Final Egg Blaster at earth. Tails then send Sonic to the Death Egg with the Master Emerald to neutralize Emerl's power, but then that failed, Tails came up with a painful alternative solution: destroying Emerl. Once Emerl was destroyed, the world was saved, though Tails mourned Emerl's death and wondered if they would see him again.

Sonic Heroes[]

In Sonic Heroes, Tails and Knuckles got a letter from Dr. Eggman, which said that the doctor had created "the ultimate weapon" and challenged them to stop him within three days or he would conquer the world. Using the Tornado 2, Tails and Knuckles tracked down Sonic and showed him the letter. Though Tails was disturbed about this and unsure what would happen, he and Knuckles joined Sonic as he set out to stop Eggman, thus forming Team Sonic.

Team Sonic began their mission by locating Eggman in Ocean Palace. There, they were attacked by Eggman in the Egg Hawk, but Tails and his team defeated the machine, though Eggman escaped. They then followed Eggman to Grand Metropolis, which Tails and his friends freed from Eggman's control. After coming out of the Power Plant, however, Team Sonic met Team Rose who began fighting them until they slipped away.

As the team arrived in Casino Park with only 24 hours left, Tails pressed his team onward. While passing through the city, Tails and his team were attacked by Eggman's robot horde which they defeated. After chasing Eggman to Rail Canyon and only having until sunset, Tails and his team headed for Bullet Station where they destroyed Eggman's base. There, they found Eggman in the Egg Albatross and defeated him. After the battle, however, Team Sonic discovered that the Eggman they had been chasing was a copy and that their challenge was to distract them while Eggman launched his Egg Fleet. As they were about to chase after Eggman again, Tails grew suspicious when he noticed that the Eggman copy was not one of Eggman's robots.

Team Sonic continued to follow Eggman into the jungle where they met Team Dark. Though Tails was shocked to see that Shadow was alive, the teams quickly began to fight over who got to chase after Eggman. After that, Team Sonic followed Eggman and Shadow to Hang Castle, where Tails was spooked out by the surroundings and Knuckles' teasing. After infiltrating the castle and escaping Mystic Mansion, Team Sonic was attacked by Eggman's robot horde but defeated it.

Soon after, Team Sonic got to the Egg Fleet and arrived at the Final Fortress where they destroyed the colossal flagship's core. Team Sonic then met Eggman in his Egg Emperor and defeated him. After destroying much of the Egg Fleet, Tails flustered received Sonic's thanks for his help before seeing Sonic escape from the newly arrived Amy.

Later, Team Sonic and the other teams saw the return of Metal Sonic, who had been staging the teams' adventures and impersonating Eggman so he could follow them and copy their data for a plan to conquer the world himself, as he transformed into Metal Madness. Seeing that the teams had collected all the Chaos Emeralds, the real Dr. Eggman came up with the plan of using them against Metal Sonic. When Sonic decided to face Metal Sonic alone, Tails decided to go with him, along with Knuckles. While Team Sonic charged the Chaos Emeralds, Team Rose, Dark and Chaotix fought Metal Madness to buy them some time.

When Metal Madness transformed into Metal Overlord, Tails and Knuckles received their Super States from Sonic when he transformed into Super Sonic. The team then took off and defeated Metal Overlord. Back on the flagship, Tails joined Sonic as he left, and they soon after reunited with Knuckles. Together, the trio then headed out to find their next adventure.

Shadow the Hedgehog[]

In Shadow the Hedgehog, Tails assisted his friends and G.U.N. in defeating the scourge of the Black Arms who had begun to invade earth and as well battle Dr. Eggman. He appears during Shadow's Hero missions, where he asks Shadow for assistance.

Circus Park[]
Tails - Circus Park

During the Black Arms invasion, Tails arrived at Dr. Eggman's Circus Park in his Chaos Emerald-powered Tornado III, planning to take back the Rings Eggman had stolen to build this theme park. Shortly after arriving, however, Tails' plane was shot down, causing him to crash-land. After surviving the crash, Tails met Shadow and asked for his help in recovering the Rings.

In the Hero scenario, where Shadow accepted Tails' request, the two of them successfully reclaimed all the stolen Rings. They also found Tails' lost Chaos Emerald which Shadow took.

Air Fleet[]

When the Black Arms went after the President on board the Air Fleet after he fled the White House in Central City when it was overrun by the Black Arms, Tails got on board the vessel in an attempt to save the President. There, he came across Shadow and he asked the black hedgehog for assistance in taking down the Black Arms and protecting the President's escape pod as it made its way through the G.U.N. battleship.

In the Hero scenario, where Shadow agreed to help, Tails and Shadow managed to rid the Air Fleet of the invading Black Arms, thus saving the President. After that, they found one of the Chaos Emeralds.

Last Story[]

In the last story, Tails came to stop Shadow from giving the Chaos Emeralds to Black Doom with Sonic, Knuckles, Amy, Rouge and Dr. Eggman. Black Doom, however, took the Emeralds and used an enhanced Chaos Control to transport the Black Comet to the surface, planning to use humans as energy sources for the Black Arms. Soon after, Tails and his allies were paralyzed by a special nerve gas and Black Doom unleashed the Death Leeches on them. Shadow, however, was immune to the gas and left Tails and the others behind as he pursued Black Doom.

Tails and the others eventually got out of the Black Comet and found some shelter from where they supported Super Shadow on as he defeated Devil Doom. Tails then saw Super Shadow sending the Black Comet back into space and destroying it with the Eclipse Cannon. With the invasion over, Tails joined the others for a laugh as an enraged Knuckles chased Eggman around.

Sonic Rush[]

Tails sonic rush

Tails pondering Eggman's scheme, from Sonic Rush.

In Sonic Rush, Tails met Sonic who revealed that Dr. Eggman was up to a new scheme involving "the ultimate power" and that a mysterious girl named Blaze the Cat had appeared. As such, Tails headed with Sonic to stop Eggman.

At Water Palace, Tails and Sonic encountered a new foe named Eggman Nega who had teamed up with Dr. Eggman. After Sonic beat Eggman Nega, Tails grew suspicious at this turn of events and headed to his workshop with Sonic to check something. There, Tails discovered to his horror that there was a rift in the space-time continuum that threatened reality itself, which he thought Eggman Nega was behind though Sonic suspected Blaze was part of it too. As they continued fighting Nega and searching for info, Tails and Sonic visited Vanilla who revealed Cream was with Blaze and where they could find them. Tails and Sonic, therefore left to find Blaze and get some answers.

While on their way, Tails and Sonic ended up on path blocked by a rock pile which Knuckles emerged from. Knuckles then told Tails and Sonic that he got trapped under the rocks when chasing Blaze before smashing the rocks in anger. With the path cleared, Sonic and Tails continued onward and eventually found Blaze and Cream. Tails tried to ask Blaze about the space-time rift, but Blaze insisted she would deal with the crisis and Eggman Nega alone and ran off with Cream, promoting Tails and Sonic to follow them. Along the way, Tails and Sonic met Amy, who told them where Blaze went, though Tails had to ask on Sonic's behalf since Amy almost thought Sonic liked Blaze.

After that, Tails and Sonic following Blaze to Dead Line where Blaze was convinced to let them help her. Blaze then revealed that the space-time rift was caused by her world and Tails’ world merging with one another due to the Sol Emeralds having been stolen and brought to Tails' world. After Blaze told that Eggman and Eggman Nega were behind this, Tails and Sonic got ready to confront Eggman Nega on Blaze's behalf since she was unable to fight, when they noticed Cream was gone. They then found a letter from by Dr. Eggman saying he held Cream hostage and that Blaze had to come to Point W alone. As Blaze left to save Cream alone since she was her friend, Tails was skeptical about this but was assured when Sonic insisted they should believe in her. After Sonic and Blaze defeated the Eggmen, Tails congratulated Sonic and celebrated their victory until Amy arrived and drove Sonic off.

A while afterward, Tails came to Blaze's aid with Sonic, Knuckles, Amy and Cream when Eggman and Eggman Nega drained all her Sol Emeralds of their power to conquer both Tails' dimension and the Sol Dimension. There, Tails and his friends gave Blaze their moral support, allowing Blaze to recharge the Sol Emeralds and become Burning Blaze. She then joined together with Super Sonic and defeated the Eggmen, saving both dimensions.

Sonic Riders[]

In Sonic Riders, Tails traveled to Future City with the other members of Team Sonic to find a Chaos Emerald. There, they saw the Babylon Rogues, and Tails realized that his radar said they had a Chaos Emerald. After chasing after the Babylon Rogues, Tails saw a symbol on Storm's Extreme Gear and realized who they were. He and Knuckles soon after caught up to Sonic, who had chased after Jet, and found him knocked down while the Babylon Rogues escaped.

The next day, Tails and his team saw Dr. Eggman announcing the EX World Grand Prix, with the entry fee for the contestants being a Chaos Emerald, and the winner getting all seven. When they saw the participants Eggman had found were the Babylon Rogues, Team Sonic entered the competition.

Tails is mocked Sonic Riders

Wave mocking Tails and his Extreme Gear, from Sonic Riders.

After Tails and his friends passed the qualification rounds, they met Amy, who had also signed up for the tournament so that she could watch Sonic. Tails, having pondered about the symbol he saw, then told the others the legends he knew about the Babylon Rogues, Babylon Garden, and the treasure of Babylon. As Tails then tried to tell Knuckles about the properties and science behind Extreme Gear, Wave the Swallow came by and mocked Tails' customized Blue Star, which infuriated the fox. No sooner, though, Tails and the group left for the next race.

After making it to the semifinals, Tails and Knuckles watched Sonic practice with Extreme Gear skills when Jet appeared, mocking Sonic. This made Tails doubt the Blue Star he made for Sonic's capabilities, though he resolved to unlock the Extreme Gear's secrets. In the following race, Tails beat Wave and eliminated her from the competition. Eventually, Tails and his team made it to the finals, which Jet won after Wave sabotaged Sonic's Extreme Gear.

With the competition over, Tails and his friends watched Jet claim and use the seven Chaos Emeralds, in tandem with the Key to Babylon Garden, to reveal Babylon Garden itself, with the intention of claiming its treasure. Dr. Eggman swiftly stole the Key so that he could claim the treasure himself, believing it to be futuristic technology that he could use to conquer the world. Tails and Knuckles then quickly followed Sonic as he took off to stop Eggman.

When Team Sonic approached Babylon Garden in the Tornado 2, Tails gave Sonic the Blue Star II, which he made for such an occasion, so Sonic could pursue Eggman. On Babylon Garden, Tails and Knuckles met Wave and Storm, but before blows could be exchanged, Tails got them to leave when he saw a flock of E-10000Gs coming. Tails and Knuckles then followed Wave and Storm to Sonic, where he had stopped Eggman and returned the Key to Babylon Garden to the Rogues. Tails and his friends then got ready to leave until Amy showed up and chased Sonic around for attacking Eggman while he held her hostage. No sooner, Tails and the others heard a roar from inside Babylon Garden and went to investigate. There, the group saw that the Babylon Rogues had accidentally awoken the Babylon Guardian, which they were then forced to fight.

After beating the Babylon Guardian, Team Sonic and the Babylon Rogues found the treasure of Babylon, which was a Magic Carpet, much to Eggman's disappointment. After observing the carpet, however, Tails and Wave saw it was an ancient prototype of Extreme Gear. With the adventure over, Tails and his friends parted ways with the Babylon Rogues, knowing that they would meet again someday.

Sonic the Hedgehog (2006)[]

In Sonic the Hedgehog (2006), Tails met Sonic in Soleanna. Having heard Sonic tried to protect Princess Elise from Dr. Eggman, Tails offered to help Sonic in his mission to rescue Elise from Eggman. The duo eventually found the Egg Carrier at Wave Ocean and tried to catch it, but failed.

Back in the city, Tails, and Sonic learned Eggman was in Dusty Desert. Arriving at Eggman's base, Tails and Sonic found Elise, but then Eggman appeared and ordered his Egg Cerberus to attack them. After defeating the Egg Cerberus, Tails created a diversion that caught Eggman's forces' attention, allowing Sonic to escape with Elise. Some time afterward, Tails heard from Knuckles that he wanted to see Sonic and asked Tails to bring him. After Tails had brought Sonic, they saw Knuckles had a message from Eggman who demanded that Sonic gave the Chaos Emerald he had in exchange for Elise (whom he kidnapped again).

Though Tails suspected it was a double-cross, he, Sonic and Knuckles went to the doctor's base in White Acropolis, where Sonic gave the Chaos Emerald to Eggman. At that moment, however, Eggman trapped Tails, Sonic, and Knuckles in his time machine and sent them to an apocalyptic future. There, the group met Shadow and Rouge and the five of them joined forces to find enough Chaos Emeralds for a Chaos Control powerful enough to get them back to their own present.

While searching for the Chaos Emeralds, Tails, Sonic and Knuckles briefly saw Silver and Blaze talking with Mephiles before they went back in time. As Tails searched their database, the group learned that Elise would die in the Egg Carrier's future crash-landing. After locating a Chaos Emerald in Flame Core, Team Sonic regrouped with Rouge and Shadow, and ventured into the volcano, but had to face Iblis when they found the Chaos Emerald. After Iblis was defeated, Sonic and Shadow use their two Chaos Emeralds to create a time-space rift which Tails, Sonic, and Knuckles used to go back to their original timeline.

Back in the present, Tails helped find information on Elise's present whereabouts. Later, when Elise was forced to return to Eggman after having just been saved, Tails went to help Elise upon request from a Maid in Waiting but did not make it in time. Soon after, Tails helped Sonic through Aquatic Base to save Elise from her death on the Egg Carrier.

STH2006 LAST The time-space rift 19

Tails and the others discover Sonic's death, from Sonic the Hedgehog (2006).

Later, Tails was with Knuckles and Amy in Soleanna Castle Town when they were caught in a spatial distortion created by Solaris and send to End of the World where they met Shadow, Silver, Rouge, E-123 Omega, and Eggman. There, they all found Sonic and Elise, where Tails saw to his sorrow that Sonic was dead, having been killed by Mephiles to remake Solaris. As Solaris prepared to end all of time, however, Elise sensed that Sonic's soul was still among them, so Tails and the others collected all the Chaos Emeralds to revive Sonic and save the world. After witnessing Elise revive Sonic as Super Sonic, Tails supported him, Super Shadow and Super Silver as they defeated Solaris before the were engulfed in light. When Sonic and Elise then ensured Solaris never came to exist, time was reverted, resulting in the events and memories of the adventure being erased and Tails to be returned to where he was prior to the events.

Sonic Rivals[]

In Sonic Rivals, Tails came with Sonic to Onyx Island, which had appeared at sea, to investigate it, believing it was one of Dr. Eggman's evil plots.[35] Just as they arrived, Tails and Sonic found who they thought was Dr. Eggman, but was actually Eggman Nega in disguise (Tails, however, does not realize this throughout the game). Upon meeting him, Eggman Nega showed them a card depicting Amy Rose and explained he had turned Amy into this card with a special camera. Tails tried to explain it was possible for objects to be turned into cards when Sonic doubted Eggman Nega's claim but was then turned into a card by the doctor.[35] Tails' card was then taken by Eggman Nega, setting Sonic off to save Tails from the doctor.

Eventually, Sonic got Tails' card back after he beat Eggman Nega's Egg Lynx and Tails was restored to normal. Later, Tails came to Sonic and Knuckles' aid in his new Tornado plane when Eggman Nega escaped and brought them to the doctor's space base. After Sonic and his allies had foiled Eggman Nega's plans to turn the Earth into a card, Tails and Sonic got Amy back to normal as well. No sooner, though, Tails left with Sonic to find the other captives in Eggman Nega’s cards.

He and Eggman's other prisoners were soon after liberated when the hedgehog defeated the doctor.

Sonic Jump (2005)[]

In Sonic Jump, Tails called Sonic one morning to warn him that Dr. Eggman had obtained a Chaos Emerald for an unknown purpose. When the connection proved too weak however, he told Sonic to meet up with him at his research facility. By the time Sonic arrived though, Tails had been kidnapped by Eggman, who escaped with Tails in a helicopter and imprisoned him onboard Eggman's flying fortress. Fortunately for Tails, Sonic soon came to his rescue. However, as Eggman made his escape, he warned Sonic that he had obtained six of the Chaos Emeralds, and that there was only one left to find. Knowing that the last Chaos Emerald was on Angel Island, Tails told Sonic where to find it and headed out with him.

Upon arriving on Angel Island, Tails and Sonic found Eggman demanding Knuckles to hand over the Chaos Emerald. Unfortunately, Eggman snatched the Emerald when Knuckles turned his attention to Sonic. Now possessing all the Chaos Emeralds, Eggman gloated to the heroes that he planned to harness the Emeralds' power to create the "Brainwash Beam", which would let him take over the world, before taking off. As Sonic and Knuckles started arguing over whose fault this was, Tails stopped them. Tails then figured that Eggman needed to head into space in order for the Brainwash Beam to cover the whole world. Believing that Eggman had a space station to launch a rocket from in South America, Tails headed there with his friends to stop Eggman. Unfortunately, they were too late, as Eggman had already prepared a rocket and was heading into space. Not willing to give up, Sonic asked Tails for a way to catch up to Eggman and Tails replied that it was possible using the space station's controls. Despite Tails being against this reckless plan, Sonic went through with it and caught up to Eggman.

After Sonic destroyed his space satellite containing the Brainwash Beam, Tails found Sonic after he crash-landed on earth, and chided him for his recklessness. Since the Chaos Emeralds had been scattered all over the earth after Eggman's space station exploded however, Sonic had to go out finding them. When Sonic returned, Tails learned that one Emerald was missing, which Knuckles figured was still in Eggman's possession. As such, Sonic went into space and got the Emerald back after defeating Eggman in a final confrontation. When Sonic later returned, Tails learned that Eggman had disappeared after his defeat, ready to plot his next move.
