The Tails Doll, also mistakenly called Puppet Tails or the Tails Puppet, is one of the playable characters in the racing game Sonic R for the Sega Saturn, a minor antagonist in Sonic Superstars and a major antagonist in Sonic the Hedgehog 30th Anniversary Special. It is doll replica of Miles "Tails" Prower created by Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik, possibly in the same vein as Metal Sonic, for the sole purpose of racing rather than fighting.
Biography[]
Sonic R[]
Tails Doll took part in the World Grand Prix to assist Dr. Eggman in his plans to find the Chaos Emeralds. He can be unlocked in Sonic R by collecting five Sonic Tokens and beat it in a race. It has average stats, but is the slowest character in the game. However, it makes up for this by being able to float above water and it can remain airborne far longer than Tails.
Sonic Superstars[]
In Sonic Superstars, Tails Doll makes an appearance as an antagonist in Act 2 of Pinball Carnival Zone. Despite being an antagonist, it only spies on the character that is played. If it gets attacked, it simply will disappear.
Sonic the Hedgehog 30th Anniversary Special[]
Appearance[]
Tails Doll appears to be a crudely stitched doll of Tails, with all the mechanical components hidden inside. Tails Doll has an antenna on its head bearing a gem, presumably intended to control the robot remotely.
Powers and Abilities[]
In Sonic R, Tails Doll is intended for racing rather than fighting unlike Metal Sonic, and presumably carries no weaponry. Its light weight allows it to float over the ground, bypassing some obstacles.
