Miles "Tails" Prower
Miles "Tails" Prower is a character in the Sonic the Hedgehog videogame series. The name "Miles Prower" is a pun on "miles per hour", a reference to the famed speed of the Sonic the Hedgehog series. He is an 8 year-old yellow fox with two tails, hence the nickname. He used to be Sonic's sidekick who would always be by his side, until Sonic got dozens of shitty friends to replace him. Tails is now just one of the many random characters clogging every game, whose only purpose is to fly people around in his airplane. He is able to use his two tails to propel himself into the air like a helicopter for a limited time. His debut was in October 16, 1992, introduced in the 8-bit version of Sonic the Hedgehog 2; the 16-bit version was released that November.
In 1993 and 1995, he starred in his own games, Tails and the Music Maker for the Pico, Tails Adventure, and Tails' Skypatrol for the Game Gear. Tails is the third most popular character of the series, behind Sonic and Shadow, according to official polls.
Tails used to be cool back in the old days when he used his twin-tails as a propeller to fly into the air. It was a bizarre, yet unique and original concept. He was also pretty likable in the 1993 series Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, and the Sonic direct-to-DVD "movie" released in the US in 1999. He has had more voiceover artists than any other character, with his voice changing for almost every game and TV show. Lately, he's become one of the most irritating characters in the franchise, making Shadow almost tolerable by comparison.
