 Tails Adventures FAQ

Q: What is this game? Is it bad?
A: Nah this game is actually super fun. It's an exploration game! (Metroidvania <_<) on the Game Gear, cute gem

Q: Holy shit how broken is this game?
A: Yeah ok, there's a cool glitch where if you use the remote robot in a certain state (climbing a ledge or flying the frame before you hit the ground) you get put into a mode where you are in control of both Tails and the robot. This...messes up the game pretty bad, and introduces some big sequence breaks.

Q: Any other tricks in this run?
A: That's the main one, but there are a few others I suppose. In conjunction with the remote robot glitch, if you use with Sonic item whilst part way inside a wall, you zip to the right. This is used to sometimes move quickly just by zipping, and also used to increase your height by going above the wall with the zip also.

If you are above the top of the screen and fly, you will be positioned back to the bottom of the screen (+Tails' height)

Lake Rocky itself is a huge skip. Basically you are supposed to get the Mine item to drop explosives below you, but instead you use the Rocket Torpedo and manipulate enemies to incorrectly home in on them and then break blocks below you. After that you go through the "gauntlet", there are bombs that can not be dodged without an item called "extra armour" (basically invincibility), but I attempt to despawn one of the bombs by lagging the game at the correct moments by using Spark. After that I must fall through a huge amount of lasers, that are supposed to stop you without the extra armour as there are so many. It's quite tricky, again because of the lag making the lasers even more unpredictable, but much faster once you get through.

Q: lol you just ran right into that enemy you suck
A: Yes, I probably did. This game has huge amounts of lag spikes in certain areas which drop inputs (and create double inputs) all the time. Fighting the lag is one of the most critical things that can ruin a run. Combined with the stuff above it makes getting a good run on this game very tricky.
