People are used to series where after a character dies, their visage appears in the sky. Like Stardust Crusaders, for instance.

Yeah, that's pretty common "remembering a dead character" language. At the very least, it implies bad things for Tails.

The plot of Sonic 2 for Game Gear is that Tails has been kidnapped by Eggman. He left Sonic a note somehow, warning him that Eggman's abducted all the animals from South Island (the setting of the first game), and that Tails himself is being held in the Crystal Egg. The only way to access the Crystal Egg is by collecting all six Chaos Emeralds.

(Yes, six. South Island only has six Chaos Emeralds. Somehow the seventh Emerald has not been discovered on Westside Island yet despite Tails already being present in the plot.)

Successfully collecting all six Chaos Emeralds will allow you to enter the Crystal Egg, face the true final boss, and rescue Tails. Failing to collect the Chaos Emeralds results in this ending, where Tails's ghostly visage in the sky reflects on Sonic's failure to save his BFF.

It doesn't necessarily mean Tails is dead. But he is gone, one way or another.

I wonder... the quokka's internal name is Barry, and the game detects if you make reference to certain other names, words, or fictional characters in naming him. I'm gonna need to see what happens if you try to name him Other Barry...

[up]As far as I can tell, the game only reacts to names from the Sonic franchise itself and all the other reactions were due to tripping on the Scunthorpe Problem.

I also notice how Blaze might be the "least feminine" designed of the female mainstays. Blaze may wear purple with some jewelry and poofy accessories, and doesn't deny being a girl, but she also doesn't seem to be one to go shopping for skirts or wear make-up either.

I would have to say that Tangle and Whisper's designs are pretty sporty in comparison to the other female characters in this franchise. I do wonder how they would look in the game's style?

There's this variant cover for Tangle in the Advance style.

Though that's actually not my favorite variant cover... this is, since it seems to me to convey an approximate running speed ranking for a few of the characters. Big and Rouge's placements are of course jokes, but outside of that it seems to match canon pretty well. Sonic is approximately equal to Shadow, then Tails, Knuckles, Amy, and Cream in that order. It seems to put Tangle above Amy, which wouldn't be too suprising, tbh.

I really want the next few IDW collections to come out! So far the collections have only gotten to the end of the Metal Virus arc, and while I've watch Game Apologist's Sonic Speed Reading to cover the Starline, Surge, and Belle stories, I really want to get to the fight between Omega and Gemerl, and to see Lanolin in action.

I'm also worried for the long term health of the IDW comic. Not because of the comic itself, which is class, but the business side of things. IDW publishing has been having some financial losses, and the overall IDW company just shut down its board game branch in 2021. Plus IDW publishing had to quickly wrap up the Transformers comics it had, because that brand jumped to another publisher. I think that was for other reasons, but still, it's not a great sign.

Hopefully when the Idw Sonic Comics end eventually, they get a proper finale, like Sonic The Comic and unlike Archie Sonic who unfortunately didn't get that luxury.

Eh, IDW is pretty much a videogame-adjacent continuity, so if anything it'd fade into the game story pretty much.

[up] I mean, Tangle got a mention in Sonic Frontiers, but no such mention is in the Japanese version.

I hope IDW stuff gets incorporated into the games somehow.

Random thought: It would be neat to see a game that explores how Sonic and Eggman first met.

According to the JP manual of Sonic 1, their fight over the six Chaos Emeralds on South Island was not their first altercation. Not by a long shot. They basically already had a Saturday Morning Cartoon relationship established by the time the first game took place.

In fact, it's kind of implied that Eggman was basically Team Rocket for Sonic up until Sonic 1. The creation of his wildlife-powered Badniks was a Not So Harmless turning point in their relationship, shifting him from a recurring nuisance in Sonic's life to a legitimate supervillain.

Out of all the original cast in the comic, Tangle would fit very well.

I agree that Tangle would definitely fit with the games. Also, Jewel could be a great side character in the games.

Game Tails would probably get along with Porker Lewis, Tekno The Canary, Rotor The Walrus, Uncle Chuck, and NICOLE. Since they are technical experts like Tails.
