Origin

File:Sonic 2 Title.png

The title screen of the 16-bit Sega Genesis version of Sonic the Hedgehog 2, with Tails and Sonic.

Tails first appeared in the 8-bit version of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 for the Sega Master System and Sega Game Gear, and is one of the main characters of the Sonic series. He is Sonic's most trusted sidekick and has the ability to fly with his two tails, hence his nickname. Despite his young age, he is a mechanical genius, matching smarts with Dr. Eggman himself, having created various revisions and remodels to the Tornado, a plane originally made by Sonic. He looks up to Sonic as a brother figure and has appeared in many games, including three of his own, Tails Adventure, Tails and the Music Maker and Tails' Skypatrol.

Miles "Tails" Prower

This gentle-hearted little fox used to get bullied because of his two tails. Then one day he saw Sonic on West Side Island and decided to join him on his adventures. Now he's an expert mechanic and a partner Sonic can really rely on—he's come a long way since his timid, quiet beginnings!

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Tails once again reprises his role as a background character on Green Hill Zone with Knuckles the Echidna and Silver the Hedgehog.

He also appears as one of the Spirits. In his Spirit Battle, the player must defeat a Yellow Fox on Windy Hill Zone. Fox comes equipped with a Rocket Belt and Ray Gun (referencing Tails' ability to fly and his Mii Gunner outfit), the gravity of the stage is reduced, and the Knuckles assist trophy will be hostile towards the player. Alternatively, Tails is a spirit that can be summoned. Tails is a Support Spirit that will increase the efficiency of the player's Up Special.
