Tails Trivia

tailstrivia.tumblr.com's theme is still being worked on! However, thats not the only thing being updated! Some older posts will be updated with more info on them, similar to the newest post and ones in the works!

The Sea Tail, otherwise known as the Sea Fox, is a submarine-like transformation that Mecha Tails can take to help Tails traverse the water in Tails Adventures. A notable detail of it is that it has an orange stripe near the drill. This isn't the Sea Tail's first appearance, however. It's first appearance is within Sonic the Hedgehog: Triple Trouble, also known as Sonic and Tails 2. Something to note is between the two appearances, they share notable design differences from eachother. Such as the glass being wrapped in white toward the bottom of the glass, or the lack of the orange stripe on the Triple Trouble design. Below is an image showing the two Sea Tails.

(Triple Trouble's Sea Tail sprites were ripped by PixelMarioXP on The Spriters Resource) Curiously, however, in the Sonic Triple Trouble 16-bit remake by Noah Copeland, not only are you able to traverse an area strikingly similar to Tails Adventures' Lake Rocky, but you are also placed into the Sea Tail! (see image below.)

==HAPPY 28TH ANNIVERSARY, TAILS ADVENTURES!== Tails Adventures' Title Screen features unused tiles that make up the island without the game title appearing in front of it!

Below is a recreation of what it'd look like if seen normally,, soon to be seen on The Spriters Resource!

Within TALES, you can set the default item to be something other than the regular bomb. It also gives you the ability to set down an item box containing the it- however, since the bomb isn't intended to be picked up like this, its pick-up text uses the Chaos Emerald one.

This is an image of a Remote Bomb sitting on spikes within Poloy Forest. The Mechakotik remake can't do this for two reasons. 1- Remote Bombs explode if stationary, and 2- Remote Bombs explode on spikes and walls. Whew, that's a lot of Remote Bomb mentions!

Within Poloy Mountain 1, the first encounter with Battle Kukku XVI, otherwise known as Speedy, will have platforms in the area. Upon revisiting the area upon Speedy's defeat, these platforms will be missing. There is nothing up there.

Here are images of the platforms during the Speedy encounter.

Within Volcanic Tunnel- there is an area where you go around to get to a spot where you need to use the Remote Bomb to exit the area. However- the falling platform in this section allows you to skip this small section, due to it letting you jump through it.

Tails Adventures partially supports the SMS screen size. In the most areas it looks decently normal- but near all exits and all places where the camera boundaries aren't built for the screen size, it displays things you aren't meant to see. Below is a near-mid area screenshot.

Tails Adventures features two ledge climb states- short ledge climbs, and long ledge climbs. There exists an error with the short ledge climb state where the second frame will dig into the wall.

In Sonic Advance 3, playing with Tails and Amy will give Tails his own unique Hammer. However, this hammer has a similar palette to his hammer from Tails Adventures.

However, these two hammers function differently. Sonic Advance 3's hammer can be used in flight and on the ground, while the Tails Adventures' hammer can be used in a jump and on ground, not being able to be used in flight. It is also much slower than the Sonic Advance 3 hammer and its hitbox hitting mostly above rather than hitting the ground.

Here's a tip; Keep Remote Robot (or, alternatively, Mecha Tails) on you at all times! This little guy always has a use!
