Changes: Super Tails (Classic)

Revision as of 12:59, 12 February 2018

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

Appearance

When transformed into Super Tails, Tails' physical traits remain unchanged, except for the yellow-orange parts of his fur, which gain a pulsating bright glow.

Overview

SuperSonicMania — Super Tails in Studiopolis Zone.

In the gameplay of Sonic Mania, Tails can become Super Tails after the player collects all seven Classic Emeralds. To transform into Super Tails during an Act, the player must press // in mid-air while holding at least fifty Rings (Prior to version 1.03, the player had to press the jump button in midair while not equipped with the Flame Shield, Lightning Shield or Water Shield). After transforming however, the player's Ring count will decrease by one every second; if the Ring count hits zero, Tails will revert back to normal. As Super Tails, Tails gains invincibility, increased running and flying speed, and an enhanced jump for as long as the transformation lasts.

By using Level Select to enter the Egg Reverie Zone as Tails, the player can play as Super Tails against the Phantom King and Klepto Mobile. In this Zone, however, de-transforming will result in the player losing a life. Also worth noting is that Super Tails will lose ten Rings whenever he is hit by the Phantom King's attacks. In the Egg Reverie Zone though, Super Tails gains additional abilities: by pressing the jump button during a Spin Jump, Super Tails is able to take flight (without using Fly) until he touches the ground. Also, by pressing the jump button while in flight, Super Tails will burst forward with instantaneous speed while the screen flashes, consuming five Rings in the process.

Powers and abilities

Due to being infused with the seven Chaos Emeralds' power, Super Tails accordingly commands ultimate power and has access to unlimited energy.^[1]^[2] As Super Tails, Tails' innate abilities far surpasses his normal ones. He can therefore both run and fly faster and jump higher than he can in his regular form. Like the traditional Super State, Tails gains new abilities in this form too, including high-speed run-flight without having to use his twin tails and virtual invulnerability to harm.

Like in his natural state, Super Tails can utilize the Spin Attack, a technique where he curls into a concussive ball or cutting disk and directs himself at his targets. Due to Tails being in a Super State, this technique's power is greatly amplified as a result. With it, Super Tails can shred or burrow through just about any substance given enough speed. Highly adept in its usage, Super Tails can utilize variants of the Spin Attack, including the Spin Dash and Spin Jump.

Weaknesses

Super Tails can only stay transformed for a short time without sustainment from Ring Energy, as a Super State consumes tremendous amounts of energy. Extensive usage will also put him at risk of disappearing entirely.^[3]
