Tails Adventure (テイルスアドベンチャー, Teirusu Adobenchā?), also known as Tails Adventures, is an action-adventure video game with role-playing elements that was developed by Aspect and distributed by Sega in 1995 for the videogame console Sega Game Gear.
It is the first spin-off game of the Sonic series to mix platforming and role-playing game elements. It is the third and most recent game in which Tails is without Sonic, the first two being Tails and the Music Maker for the Sega Pico and Tails' Skypatrol also for the Game Gear. The game does not follow the plotline of many other games in the Sonic series, and the game's plot is different in the Japanese and Western versions of the game (see below for details). In the game, Tails must save an island from destruction by the Battle Kukku Army, an army of birds, while at the same time obtaining objects such as various types of weapons and Chaos Emeralds that he finds during his passage. The gameplay is unlike that of many other games in the series, consisting of slower travel, and more time is spent searching for objects to use later on in the game, rather than simply running through levels.
It has since been rereleased on the Sonic Gems Collection and on Sonic Adventure DX: Director's Cut.
Famous quotes containing the words tails and/or adventure:
“Panache upon panache, his tails deploy
Upward and outward, in green-vented forms,
His tip a drop of water full of storms.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“Wilson adventured for the whole of the human race. Not as a servant, but as a champion. So pure was this motive, so unflecked with anything that his worst enemies could find, except the mildest and most excusable, a personal vanity, practically the minimum to be human, that in a sense his adventure is that of humanity itself. In Wilson, the whole of mankind breaks camp, sets out from home and wrestles with the universe and its gods.”
—William Bolitho (1890–1930)
