Revision as of 10:20, 14 October 2017
Tails' rocket is a vehicle invented by Miles "Tails" Prower and is first seen and used by Sonic the Hedgehog to reach E.G.G. Station Zone in the console and PC versions of Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode I. In Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode II, Tails' rocket was stolen by Metal Sonic, who then used it to follow Sonic and Tails and steered it right into White Park Zone so he could challenge them to a running battle.
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: Episode I
Tails' rocket first appears in the console and PC versions of Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode I. Constructed by Tails, the rocket is meant to help Sonic reach Dr. Eggman's E.G.G. Station Zone. When Sonic later chases Dr. Eggman through Splash Hill, the doctor escaped by flying away in his Egg Mobile and retreated to the E.G.G. Station. To pursue him, Sonic jumps off a nearby edge and boards the conveniently-placed rocket, taking him straight to the E.G.G. Station. As the cutscene is missing in the initial iOS release, the rocket does not exist in mobile versions based on that version and it is directly not shown how Sonic reached the space stronghold.
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.
