Mostly Sonic lets him trail along. But sometimes, just to show off, Sonic explodes in a burst of super speed and leaves him behind. But Miles doesn't give up. He whirls his tails like a helicopter rotor and takes off flying until he catches up!

All the animals call Miles by his nickname, "Tails", because of his two special tails. And one day they saw a astonishing feat...

They were all in the forest watching Sonic perform. Sonic would run, spin, and jump into his Super Spin Attack. What a ShowOff!

Suddenly, "Tails" just couldn't help himself. He took a running start, curled up his tails, and-whoosh - he was spinning like Sonic!

But now something frightning is happening. Sonic's friends are disapearing. In their place, nasty Metal Robots are popping up all over the island. The mad scientist Dr. Robotnik is at it again!

This time Robotnik's planning a global disaster. He needs workers to create a doomsday machine that can take over the world. So he's trapping all the animals, turning them into robots, and forcing them to build his ultimate weapon, the Death Egg!

Robotnik now rules the factories, refineries and cities! He's grabbing control of everything - except the 7 Chaos Emeralds. Those magnificent gems are believed to hold exceptional powers. With them, Robotnik could have the entire world in his grasp. And He'd never let go!

The Chaos Emeralds are buried somewhere on the island. Only one tough dude with spikey hair has the speed to find them first!
 
  !?!?!? DID YOU KNOW !?!?!?
The pink Chaos Emerald from Sonic 1 is not included as one of the 7 Chaos Emeralds any more.
 
  The Gameplay:
Sonic 2 has way more options to choose from then the first game. It has Sonic's new move, the Spin Dash where he rolls in a ball, spins really fast, and lets go taking off spinning. Sonic also has his new side kick, Tails, who can't fly as 1 player, but if as Sonic he can fly to catch up.

One of the newest option would be the race mode where you and a friend can race each other in a few stages. The race mode is in split screen and the goal is to beat your oponent to the end.

Other new gameplay elements are the 3D Special Stage where you must collect the amount of rings to collect all 7 Chaos Emeralds. Collect all 7 and you can turn into Super Sonic, a golden long spiked verson of Sonic where after collecting 50 rings and jumping, you become invinsible for 50 seconds or longer as to how many rings you get.

Each stage has 2 acts (Not including Metropolis), the boss fight is at the end of the second act.
 
  Here's a guide to all the zones:

Emerald Hill Zone
