Watching him, he decided that he wanted to be just as cool as his now-hero, even if Sonic (at first) pays no attention to his constant companion.
Intrigued, he begins to follow what he would discover to be Sonic the Hedgehog. However, everything changes for the young fox when he spots a blue streak on the island. While living there, Tails is the subject of much teasing because of his namesake - the two tails that make him quite different from everyone else. While according to the Game Gear title Tails Adventures it is said he once lived on Cocoa Island before he met Sonic, by the time Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is about to take place Tails has taken up residence on West Side Island. Just like Sonic the Hedgehog's past, nothing explicit is mentioned of Miles "Tails" Prower's home and history. With the concept in place, Tails was soon programmed into the game with its patented system, and he became part of one of the most successful games in the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise. Sneaking his original name onto the concept art, it was decided that a compromise would be reached, with Miles being the character's real name and Tails being the nickname. However, the Sonic 2 team wanted to go with a much simpler name, "Tails," which Yasushi was none too pleased with. Yasushi had created a two-tailed orange fox whom he affectionately called "Miles Prower," the name intended to be a pun on the phrase "Miles per Hour," a clever homage to the Sonic the Hedgehog character and franchise, which pushed the speed aspects in advertising and the like. One element they wanted to introduce was a new character that would not just be a companion to Sonic and fulfill the classic sidekick role, but also be playable and draw attention, and hopefully new players, to the franchise.Īn internal competition was held at STI, and while numerous designs were once again submitted to be considered for the role (including a rocket-powered turtle named Boomer), it was Yasushi Yamaguchi who would win out with his design. After some internal drama, portions of Sonic Team traveled to work with Sega of America's Sega Technical Institute to create the numbered follow-up. Since his introduction in 1992's Sonic the Hedgehog 2, he has become one of the most popular of the Sonic characters, and a staple in the series.Īfter the success of the original Sonic the Hedgehog, Sega was insistent that a sequel be made to capitalize on the Sonic name.
Miles Prower (Japanese: マイルス・パウアー), also known by his nickname, "Tails" (Japanese: テイルス), is a two-tailed fox who is a recurring character in the Sonic the Hedgehog series of video games and related media.
