Skypatrol kicks off with a “training area” set in the Green Hill Zone (or so it looks). She runs off on her railcart and Tails, determined to put a stop to all evil, chases after her. He stumbles upon an old witch who casts spells that fill the island with traps, enemies, and crystals.

The island has him intrigued so he decides to breeze down for a looksee. Tails was flying around in his plane day (remember when Tails and Sonic are flying around in Sonic 3… yea… you remember… that was freegin’ awesome) when he sees an island below him. Originally released as a Japanese Game Gear exclusive, Skypatrol would later be released on the Sonic Gems Collection for the GameCube, as well as being an unlockable game in Sonic Adventure DX, also for the GameCube. While technically a spin-off and a prequel, Tails’ Skypatrol is not created by Sega or the Sonic Team, instead being created by the Japanese gaming company JSH. The game came to other territories as an unlockable minigame in the GameCube version of Sonic Adventure DX and as one of the titles in the Sonic Gems Collection.Tails’ Skypatrol is Miles “Tails” Prower’s first spin-off game from the Sonic the Hedgehog games of which he is known. Robotnik are not presented, and neither are there rings to collect during the levels. He carries a golden ring that is used to take out enemies or to latch on to devices. Tails need to defeat enemies and complete obstacles.

Gameplay is fairly similar to the Sonic series. Tails, determined to save all the animals on the island, sets in a chase to the Witchcart. She proclaims that everything on the island is hers and threatens to transform everyone in crystal who does not follow her rules. The passing silver cart is driven by a woman who says she is Wendy Witchcart. As he lands on the island a cart approaches, and Tails hides in the bushes. It seems to be completely abandoned except for some mine cart tracks. While flying around, Tails discovers an island.

Tails' Skypatrol is the first solo adventure of the Sonic sidekick Tails in the Sonic the Hedgehog series and it was only released in Japan.
