Tails
Template:Character-infobox Template:LLQuote
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 the sidekick and best friend of Sonic. Tails has the ability to spin his tails like a propeller, and thus fly. In Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games and Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games, he is voiced by Amy Palant, but in Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games and onwards, he has been voiced by Kate Higgins. "Miles Prower", is a pun on "miles per hour".
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, while he is quite speedy in the Sonic games.
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 how he respects Sonic).
Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games
In the third installment of the Mario & Sonic series, Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games, Tails makes another appearance as a playable character. He is a Skill type player in the Wii version like the two previous installments and is part of the Heroes in the 3DS version.
This is the first game in the series to introduce Kate Higgins as the new voice actress of Tails (who takes over from Amy Palant).
