Tails' Skypatrol

Tails' Skypatrol is an action shoot 'em up game co-developed by Japan System House and SIMS, and published by Sega exclusively in Japan.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) For some weird reason, Tails can only fly in this game, and much like Silver Surfer on the NES, he can't touch anything without losing a life.
 * 2) The game is relatively short and can be beaten in about 30 minutes or less.
 * 3) Tails is completely slow in this game, just like Sonic in Sonic Labyrinth.
 * 4) * Not to mention that going through the levels is often a chore, as Tails can't stop moving.
 * 5) * Also, Tails has limited stamina, which essentially means once you run out of stamina, you lose a life. Luckily, stamina can be replenished by collecting mint candy.
 * 6) Bland and boring enemies that look like they belong in an anime show.

Good Qualities

 * 1) The graphics are decent for the most part.
 * 2) The fact that Tails is portrayed as the main character is a neat idea, even though it was badly executed.
 * 3) This is the first Sonic game to have a villain that isn't Dr. Robotnik/Eggman, which is a breath of fresh air despite of (yet again) its lackluster execution.
 * 4) Its sequel, Tails Adventure, is a major improvement over this game.

Reception
It was poorly received by critics and gamers alike, especially when they criticized the game for being terribly slow.

Trivia

 * This is the first game where Tails was the main star in his own games.
 * Years later, this game would be released outside of Japan as an unlockable extra in Sonic Adventure DX: Director's Cut for the GameCube, and as one of the titles featured in Sonic Gems Collection.
