History VideoGame / TailsSkyPatrol

* GreenHillZone: The training area at the beginning.

* TheLostWoods: Level 3.

* MechaMooks

* RailShooter: A bizarre mix of this and platformer elements.

* VillainOfTheWeek: Witchcart. Curiously, this game is one of the very few games in the Sonic franchise where Eggman is completely absent in favor of another villain.

* AbsenteeActor: This is one of the very few games in the franchise where Sonic and Eggman are completely absent. Tails is the only regular appearing, and all of the other characters are unique to this game.

''Tails' Sky Patrol'' is a game released for the GameGear in 1995, and [[NoExportForYou only in Japan]] (prior to being ported to compilations). It features [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Sonic's]] pal Miles "Tails" Prower, in the first of three SpinOff games the lovable fox cub recieved. In this game, Tails shoots a ring to grab things, and must save an island from the evil Witchcart, a witch who rides in a mine cart and turns trespassers into crystals.

Tropes used:
* ADayInTheLimelight: One of three spinoff games Tails got for himself.

* BeneathTheEarth: The first part of the third stage is set in a cavern (which is suspiciously similar in appearance to Mystic Cave Zone from ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2'').

* {{Expy}}: Focke-Wulf is quite similar to Fang/Nack.
* FlatCharacter / GenericDoomsdayVillain: Witchcart. She is given no characterization at all beyond "Evil witch who turns people into crystals".

* KillerRabbit: Carrotia
* TheLostWoods: Level 3

* NintendoHard: Even though the game is surprisingly short (only five levels), you will have a hard time beating it. Among the factors that make it hard include the claustrophobic stage design, the constantly moving screen and Tails' floaty controls, which leaves very little room for error, and not to mention that if you touch ANY surface beyond an item or some enemy attacks, you will die. The lack of a save or password function in the non-''Gems Collection'' versions make this game only beatable by the most dedicated gamers, and with this in mind, it's no surprise why this game didn't get released outside of Japan.

* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Mints are powerups in this game. His original character bio states that Tails loves mints.

* BearsAreBadNews: Berenger is a black bear who rides a missile and is quite a tough boss.

* {{Expy}}: Fockewulf is quite similar to Fang/Nack.

* GirlsHaveCooties: Carroieta's main attack is blowing kisses.

* StockAnimalDiet: Carroietta fires carrots as missiles.

* EvilWitch: Witchcart.

* BigBadassWolf: Subverted with Fockewulf. He never gets out of his air bike.

* AnticlimaxBoss: While the final boss, Witchcart herself, is by no means a cakewalk (it's possible to get a cheap hit that'll quickly knock you onto the floor if you're not careful), she is comparitavely easy in contrast to the previous bosses and can be defeated the most quickly.

* ADayInTheLimelight: One of three spinoff games the lovable fox cub got for himself.
* AndIMustScream: Although it's not shown in game, the story mentions that Witchcart turns trespassers into crystals.
** Does it say whether they are still alive and aware after she does this?

* BeneathTheEarth: The first part of the third stage is set in a cavern (which is suspiciously similar in appearance to Mystic Cave Zone from ''SonicTheHedgehog2'').
