Tails' rocket is a vehicle that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It is a rocket invented by Tails to help Sonic reach the E.G.G. Station Zone. Later, Tails' rocket was stolen by Metal Sonic, who used it to follow Sonic and Tails to White Park Zone.

Description[]

The rocket has a black and red color scheme, with some areas colored yellow. Tails' two signature tails are painted to the sides. There are around eight rockets on it. This allows the rocket to travel at extremely fast speeds.

History[]

Sonic the Hedgehog 4[]

Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode I[]

Tails' rocket first appears in the console/PC version of Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode I. Constructed by Tails, the rocket was a part of Tails' secret support of Sonic during his battles with Dr. Eggman.[1] When Sonic later chases Dr. Eggman through Splash Hill Zone, the doctor escaped by flying away in his Egg Mobile and retreated to the E.G.G. Station Zone. To pursue him, Sonic jumps off a nearby edge and boards the conveniently-placed rocket, taking him straight to the E.G.G. Station.

Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode Metal[]

In Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode Metal, Metal Sonic finds Tails' rocket abandoned in the end of Episode Metal Act 4, surrounded by Flickies. As he glances at it, he watches Sonic and Tails fly in the Tornado to Sylvania Castle. He uses the new power he has gotten from Lost Labyrinth Zone to scare off the Flickies around him, takes the rocket, and pursues Sonic and Tails to White Park Zone.
