A few minutes later, the Tailsmobile was used by Tails to defeat Eggman's robots when they attacked Sonic.[7] The Tailsmobile was later used in an unorthodox manner by Team Sonic during a heatwave to cool down Tails' House. Though its fan would blow around everything and everyone inside the house, Team Sonic ultimately found it enjoyable.[8]

Though Vacuum Bot kept the vehicle in place, the robot was soon destroyed by Sonic.[9] Tails later tried using the Tailsmobile's net cannon to capture some Froglodytes in the Unnamed Village, but the toads proved too slippery for the vehicle's net to hold them.[4]
