a slog of a game that loves wasting your time with boring gameplay. wants to be a semi-metroidvania kind of title but doesn't commit to it outside of just spacing things out a ton and making you backtrack. skypatrol may be less polished and shorter, but it's definitely the funner one of the tails spinoff games.

A cute & light metroidvania game. I also realized that this is the first game in the series that shows Tails' mechanical prowess. This is one of the better Sonic Game Gear titles and worth checking out if interested. I wouldn't mind seeing a remake or sequel to this game that fully commits to being a metroidvania.

Lol this is painfully sloggish.

That was actually pretty good. Like, way better than I expected. Making Tails the center of a Metroidvania style game was such a good idea, and the game itself is a lot of fun. A shame SEGA never chose to expand on it.
