You know, my favourite design of Tails is actually the Advance games version, which I guess is based off the Adventure redesign. Classic is fine, but eh, he's just a little *too* juvenile back then.
I don't think I have to say I like Tails... because it looks pretty obvious. Although I should mention that while the cartoon adaptation of Tails was touched upon, the Sonic OVA one wasn't. He's kinda Toei-esque in his design despite not being drawn by Toei.
Fun fact did you know that the master system/game gear version of Sonic 2 came out before the actual version of Sonic 2? And with tails being present this technically makes it his debut game
you might not have realized this or just thought that it wasnt important but tails in the movie puts both his tails together to look like one tail but he separates them to fly
I gotta say, my favorite Tails design probably still is the original, though I do quite like his design in Boom with all the inventor gear and the goggles. But really bro, how can you say Tails Adventure is "of questionable quality"?! It's one of the best games on the Game Gear, and one of the finest 8-bit titles in the Sonic series!
I love boom tails and movie tails the best imo Movie tails looks so fluffy and huggable and when I saw him in theatres when I went with my friends I screamed and cried for so long because of how perfect he looked (tails is my favourite sonic character I get emotional) And boom tails is just how I picture tails looking normally his design actually looks natural compared to the other boom designs
If it wasn't for Tails's weirdly giant snout in the Sonic 2 art I'd say yeah to that design too, but dang it's kinda bad lol The Sonic Chaos box art made the nose a lot smoother looking at least
Yes! Thanks so much for uploading this Mark. My favorite character in all of gaming has such a kickass design no matter what form of media it's in. Adventure 2's model is awesome and I love the extra fluff for the Rush artwork. I also really like his Riders model because his ears are truly massive.
Adventure 1/2 Art style and curves (like spiral golden ratio design. Really capture the dynamic but smooth cool look of turning into a ball for spindash) are what I always felt were the genuine best versions representative of Sonic Tail and Knuckles With Sonic riders intro being the animation flare I hope to see in a sonic cartoon
When I was a kid, I actually liked Tails more than sonic because I figured “sonic has super speed, but tails can fly AND has super speed” I now understand how stupid I was
Great video! Love your content! The editing and structure of your videos is mind blowing, it’s astounding! In fact, the only gripe I have with your videos is that you can sound slightly monotone and uninterested in the topic you’re discussing at times (but, this is only a very minor nit pick).
The Adventure Gamebook Metal City Mayhem's cover is probably my favourite Tails design - The US Sonic 2 cover design (So, lacks the adorable chest fur tuffts of the Japanese cover art of the time) but with a more three-dimensional colouring. (How worried Tails looks about falling into the firey abyss below him as Sonic's holding onto him to prevent him falling is probably my favourite aspect of the cover, mind. Tails. Dude. Buddy. You can fly.) In the less freaking obscure ones - I adore how he looks in the Mega Drive title screens. The original design, with my preferred tuffts of chest fur rather than the smoother transition from white to orange fur. I also prefer the more vivid orange to the more yellowish-orange of modern interpretations of the character)
3:40 Fun fact most don't know is the Tornado is actually Sonic's plane and tails just borrowed it because of his flying knowledge (despite being 8 years old). Tails also finds it more useful for flying as it's not as exhausting and good for long distances.
great video i like it how you can breakdown the designs of characters and make it interesting but I've been wondering if you could do a video about Pac-Man designs since he had so many redesigns over the years and it would be fun to watch
Miles " Tails" Prower, the little fox who could... I like the SA2 look myself but did he really have to be confined to that mech walker the whole game? Especially when they had him so right in SA1! When he finally makes his return in the next mainline game - after a 14 year absence, seriously Sega what are you doing!? - I really hope they look more to that gameplay style. So like SA1, let Tails run (and fly) wild and free. Because, as the old saying going: let Tails run (and fly) wild and free. Also with with straps and buckles around his gloves and trainers, while I knew they were there, it was maybe about a year ago I started seeing it as compared to Sonic he's still just a kid, and has yet to grow into them. My favorite looks, probably the original, the Adventure games and I'm also really like the Riders and 06 character models too 9:50 and that's why you play with the original Japanese voice acting!
Pretty sure Tails was only in the mech because he wasn’t original going to be playable but fans basically went crazy so they put him back in and then went even further and made Shadow and Rouge playable as counters to the original characters Eggman, Sonic and Knuckles respectively and as Tails was the counterpart to Eggmna he got hit with the mech
@@antg2183 I did hear about that too. Also looking back at my comment for the bit at the end about the voice acting, I meant to add Japanese to it, so it would be... And that's why you play with the original Japanese voice acting!
0:00 Tails's series-long character arc in a nutshell Personally, I think Tails's forehead is too big in the movie. All they need to do is make his eyes take up a little more vertical space, and it'll be perfect.
I liked Tails' look more in the first Sonic movie compared to the 2nd one, he looked way fluffier and cuter in the first one. They still (the both of them)still cute but still.
Tails is a good characters but In sonic forces He is scared of chaos 0 But the fact he defeated Chaos 4 Yes I know this fox is 8 Years old With a IQ of 300 But I just think Sonic unleashed,Generations and forces made him crap I blame sega for making him useless
I think Mania's version is better as it fixes his weird nose from the original version, I actually think Boom Tails is pretty good too, it's a nice redesign.
"... Characters like Sonic and Knuckles changed quite a lot throughout the classic titles" I thought Knuckles was only in one classic game. His title game kinda counts, but that seems more like a spin-off
question, what did the original movie tails look like, i can imagine that the cg was almost definitely done for tails by that point, i need to see it, or maybe i need to not see it.
10:01 it all makes sense now...
Instablaster...
I NEVER REALIZED TAILS HAD BLACK RINGS AROUND HIS SOCKS AND GLOVES W H A T
With them I started to look at it as he's still a little kid and has to grow into them
SAME
I know, right!? I always just thought they were just shadows. It didn't help that Boom got rid of them.
You know, my favourite design of Tails is actually the Advance games version, which I guess is based off the Adventure redesign.
Classic is fine, but eh, he's just a little *too* juvenile back then.
"juvenile" he's eight
JacM I think he means the conveyance of the art style not the character himself
That design is my favorite too! Along with Rush's design.
In Sonic Force.. Tails is kinda weak compared to his other iterations
@@jacm4150 he was 4 and a half years old back then
"Before all the rivals"
Metal Sonic: *cries oil*
😂😂😂😂
W e l p
*WHEEZE*
LOL
The placement of classic tails's nose on the old official artworks look kinda... off to me...
Yes, yes it does.
Yes
Looks like he's trying to balance a pebble on his snout...
Finally somebody noticed But they finally Fixed that in Sonic Mania
Just imagine what that would look like without the nose
"Purple mech"
That mech is more blue then Sonic is most days.
Ye I'm colour blind 🤣
It's blueish purpleish it’s in the middle between blue and purple
"Rush was actually much more floofy tbh".
Lol so true.
Tails is my favorite character. He's super cute,and can't wait to see him in the next movie
Same. I hate the misrepresentation he got from Unleashed onwards. Now he’s just whiny instead of the courageous universe-saver he once was.
@@chilliorganism Same. It was the worst in forces when he gets scared of Chaos 0 when he beats a stronger version back in SA1
Azriel Does Stuff also remember Sonic 3? HE WENT INTO FKING SPACE THATS HOW STRONG HE WAS
disabled account same
Unknown - your welcome. Also, I bet Classic and Pre-Unleashed Modern Tails are laughing nonstop at his older version.
I love All Tails design because it is TAILS but i have to say in Riders and Boom he looked Cool
I don't think I have to say I like Tails... because it looks pretty obvious. Although I should mention that while the cartoon adaptation of Tails was touched upon, the Sonic OVA one wasn't. He's kinda Toei-esque in his design despite not being drawn by Toei.
3:43 - That's not even Tails' plane. It's Sonic's.
It's true. Tails built it for Sonic.
@@Mitsuraga sonic had it before met tails
@@Mitsuraga he just upgrades it
What is that, Archie canon? That's never established in the games.
@@Mitsuraga It's canon for games since Sonic 2, in Japanese storyline.
Like = respect for tails
Tails has always been one of my favorite characters, and I somehow never noticed the black bands on his arms and legs
I always thought they were just shadows the entire time
Fun fact did you know that the master system/game gear version of Sonic 2 came out before the actual version of Sonic 2? And with tails being present this technically makes it his debut game
"Honey? Why did a full grown man just drop a stuffed toy out his window?"
you might not have realized this or just thought that it wasnt important but tails in the movie puts both his tails together to look like one tail but he separates them to fly
Synismain yeah I thought that was super cool
I wonder if he hided his two tails so he wouldn't get bullied back in mobius
Is it okay to like Tails more than Sonic?
Edit: My favourite Tails designs would be his Rush and Movie design. I can't decide between them.
Yes. I like tails more than sonic too
Best Sprite: Sonic 2
Best 3D Model: The Movie
Best Artwork: they’re all the saaaaaaaaame
Well he jumped out of the window :|
R.I.P Tails 1992 - 2020
Favorite design classics tails in 3D and adventure art and movie tails.
I gotta say, my favorite Tails design probably still is the original, though I do quite like his design in Boom with all the inventor gear and the goggles.
But really bro, how can you say Tails Adventure is "of questionable quality"?! It's one of the best games on the Game Gear, and one of the finest 8-bit titles in the Sonic series!
Your content is so high quality,I tend to forget that you're only at 20k+ subs. How? Keep up the great work man
My favourite design is probably the mania intro version
Yeah that's a great one that I missed off tbh!
I think making his fur more brown at the 90s show worked pretty well. It helped contrast his eyes even more, just like with Sonic and his blue color.
My favorite was definitely the sprite from Sonic Advance! I think it had a lot of personality and style while still managing to be cute :)
So it returns
With one of the best intros too!
Personally, Adventure was my favorite, he was the perfect mix of young, yet grown up and matured.
Tails: the character design so good they never really had to mess with it

Pls do a best design for super sonic my buddy, I like your takes
Just saying but I like the Sonic OVA Tails design with all his expressions as a kid who follows his cool friend around
Nicest intro in the world See's you thorough tails out the window ya nevermind
9:23
My favourite is floofy Tails because I think he should've been fluffier from the word go.
6:39 Talis is wearing sonic's snekers
**sees the title**
*All*
*All of them*
*Every Tails is perfect*
That intro is absolute. Wholesome and funny in 1 blend.
Worth rewatching a lot.
I love boom tails and movie tails the best imo
Movie tails looks so fluffy and huggable and when I saw him in theatres when I went with my friends I screamed and cried for so long because of how perfect he looked (tails is my favourite sonic character I get emotional)
And boom tails is just how I picture tails looking normally his design actually looks natural compared to the other boom designs
Tails is my favorite character in the series. But I never liked how he was not as cute as the original design. His new body shape seems kinda weird
If it wasn't for Tails's weirdly giant snout in the Sonic 2 art I'd say yeah to that design too, but dang it's kinda bad lol The Sonic Chaos box art made the nose a lot smoother looking at least
Yes! Thanks so much for uploading this Mark. My favorite character in all of gaming has such a kickass design no matter what form of media it's in. Adventure 2's model is awesome and I love the extra fluff for the Rush artwork. I also really like his Riders model because his ears are truly massive.
Either tails in riders or boom are my favourite design. It’s the goggles that make me like those designs more.
Tails's lines on Heroes is sure a meme fountain. I love'em all.
But imo my favorite Tails design is the Genesis/Mega Drive era's design
Adventure 1/2 Art style and curves (like spiral golden ratio design. Really capture the dynamic but smooth cool look of turning into a ball for spindash) are what I always felt were the genuine best versions representative of Sonic Tail and Knuckles
With Sonic riders intro being the animation flare I hope to see in a sonic cartoon
I'm biased towards the adventure design of Tails. But I also love the OG Tails too! You hit everything I love about it right on the head!
My favorite is the Sonic Adventure one, mainly because they all look good and I just like that game's artstyle the most
I’ve loved the Riders and Boom art style of Tails personally
Sonic Generations (Classic) is my favourite design
"Yes, a flying fox does also fly a plane for some reason"
I mean, you can walk, but you also drive a car for some reason.
When I was a kid, I actually liked Tails more than sonic because I figured “sonic has super speed, but tails can fly AND has super speed”
I now understand how stupid I was
Tails is my favorite Sonic character, not only is he adorable, but also smart, creative, not full of himself..!
My favorite will always be the movie design, HE LOOKS BOMBASTIC IN THAT!
Boom tails is a good design, he looks like an inventor
I really like classic tails with blue eyes, the colour compliments the orange
Great video! Love your content!
The editing and structure of your videos is mind blowing, it’s astounding! In fact, the only gripe I have with your videos is that you can sound slightly monotone and uninterested in the topic you’re discussing at times (but, this is only a very minor nit pick).
Loving the new intro dude! Great video as always!
Cheers mate, we need to play some fall guys, keep seeing you pop up on steam 😂
The Artist Mark Flynn sure thing man!
The best tails design is the one with two tails
Seriously tho, it’s the movie design
The next one has to be Amy next right...
I really like the movie version :)
Same here! He looked awesome in the movie.
I say the sonic movie version of tails is the most fluffy of them all just looks at it
Like how classic tails looked like more of a kid
Well.
Mark, what are your opinions on the game gear sonic games?
I like the Boom design, because that reflects his personality the best.
I actually kinda like Tails' boom design
I think the classic design is the best, I like to draw, and since classic tails has less details, it’s much easier to draw him.
Tails and Silver are my two favourite characters, please do one for silver in the future if you feel like it 😊
tbh I never even noticed the bands on his gloves and shoes before you mentioned them lol
I had convinced myself they wereent there anymore but they never actually left lol
I love Tails in Sonic Boom, he’s the cutest xD
All of tails designs are great because Tails is sssssssoooooo cute and adorable 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡

My favorite desings are from: the Sonic Advance series, Sonic Rush, the Ova and Sonic Mania's cutscenes.
If we on a Sonic high, Amy has some neat designs.
Loved Sonic 2! First one I owned.
3:40 Fun fact most don't know is the Tornado is actually Sonic's plane and tails just borrowed it because of his flying knowledge (despite being 8 years old). Tails also finds it more useful for flying as it's not as exhausting and good for long distances.
Did you know that classic Tails' hair fluff was originally on the left of his head rather than the middle? It looks weird.
Tails is my favourite of the trio
I think my favorite is the classic interpretation, especially with his lil long foxy nose...adventure is pretty good too, basically the same imo
great video i like it how you can breakdown the designs of characters and make it interesting but I've been wondering if you could do a video about Pac-Man designs since he had so many redesigns over the years and it would be fun to watch
I like all of his designs, but if I had to pick a favorite, it would either be Movie Tails, or Adventure Tails
What about Megaman? He’s had some of the most drastic changes to his design across the entire series
My favorite Tails design is the modern day Tails only looking better in CGI.
I feel Like King Dedede would be a good character for you to look at, it's very interesting how much his designs change even on a game by game basis!
What game is your profile pic bowser from?
@@arvc-5224 Mario RPG
Was that scene of Tails on a victory stand thing with Pyro from TF2 a mod? A fangame? No way it's official.
It's from all stars racing transformed. Steam version hence the TF2.
I still think Advance 2 and 3 have the best sprites in the series
You forgot about how they made his snout smaller. He used to have a long fox nose
Does anyone know the name of the song he used when he spoke about Tails's Adventure era design?
It's the instrumental of "Believe in Myself" from Sonic Adventure 2.
@@SwiftAsTheWind Thank you very much sir!
Boi he back
I like ALL The designs🙂
My favorite tails design is the one from generations
Miles " Tails" Prower, the little fox who could...

Tornado defense 1st battle
I honestly liked Boom Tail's design best.
I'd choose adventure 1 cause it's cutr
