==Origin==
==Origin==
Tails first appeared in the 8-bit version of ''Sonic the Hedgehog 2'' for the Sega Master System and Sega Game Gear, in which Tails has been kidnapped by [[Dr. Eggman]] and must be rescued by Sonic. He made his proper playable debut in the 16-bit version, and since then has become 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 Eggman himself, having created various revisions and remodels to the Tornado, a plane originally made by Sonic.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'', an exploration-based platformer with RPG elements and a slow-paced style of gameplay compared to the majority of the ''Sonic'' franchise; ''Tails and the Music Maker'', an edutainment game for the Sega Pico designed to teach young children about musical instruments; and ''Tails' Skypatrol'', an originally Japan-exclusive auto-scrolling game with an original cast of characters.
