Tails
Template:Character-infobox Miles Prower, who is better known by the nickname of Tails, is a flying, two-tailed yellow fox from the Sonic the Hedgehog series. He is a sidekick to Sonic similar to how Luigi is a sidekick to Mario. In Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games, he is voiced by Amy Palant, and will be voiced by Kate Higgins in Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games.
History
Mario & Sonic series
Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games
Tails participates in Olympic events in Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games. He is a Skill type player, with skill and stamina being his best stats. Ironically, he is quite slow in this game.
Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games
Again, Tails participates in the Olympic events, this time in Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games, the sequel. Tails is a skill type player again. His stats are given on the official site as well.
Tails made an appearance in the adventure mode of the game for the Nintendo DS. In the game, he decides to help Sonic and Mario on their quest. Tails even makes remarks about Mario when he and Sonic first meets the fox, thus showing that Tails respects Mario due to his heroism (similar to Sonic).
Super Smash Bros. series
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Tails appears in the background of the Green Hill Zone stage, as a cameo. He can occasionally be seen running through the loop in the background, alongside fellow Sonic characters, Knuckles the Echidna and Silver the Hedgehog. Tails also appears in the form of a collectible Trophy and Sticker, but doesn't appear anywhere else in the game.

Trivia
- His full name, "Miles Prower", is a pun on "miles per hour".
- Tails was thought to be an unlockable character, along with Sonic, in Super Smash Bros. Melee, but this turned out to be an infamous 2002 April Fool's prank set up by Electronic Gaming Monthly.
