Mint Candy[1] (ミントキャンディ[2] Minto kyandi?), or simply Candy,[3] is an object that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It is a piece of candy that can replenish Tails' power gauge.
Overview[]
In Tails' Skypatrol, Mint Candies can be found lying on the ground in every level of the game which the player can collect by touching it. When collected, the Mint Candy will replenish Tails' power gauge in the upper left corner of the screen, which tells how long Tails can fly. As such, candy is an important item to collect; if the power gauge runs out, Tails will fall down, and the player loses a life.
Mint Candies can be found in set of one, two, or three sets. The larger the amount of Mint Candy that is obtained, the more Tails' power gauge will be filled.
Trivia[]
- Mint Candy's appearance in Tails' Skypatrol is a reference to how it was stated in the Japanese manual of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 that Tails loves mint candy.[4]
- In Sonic Adventure 2: Battle, the Mint Candy goes unused in the game’s files and was meant to be a consumable for the Chao.
