I remember playing this as a kid and seeing this ending and i lost my mind! So i was so DETERMINED to save tails but there wasn't any internet back then and i didn't have a game pro subscription so i had to find the chaos emeralds on my own. Not to mention i didn't have an AC adapter for my game gear and my parents only bought dollar store brand AA batteries. So i was on a time limit! Imagine trying to look for emeralds and defeating boss enemies with no rings before the batteries go dead lol! I beat the game finally and rescued tails with just barely enough battery left before it went dead lol

Now he's gone, the, fox I've always cared for I couldn't save him from Eggman's hands This night is cold, and the skies, being fully covered in grey And the breeze Getting much stronger I look at the stars, and Then I see A reflection of him It makes me think about it He was just a little kid And his fate Was set on my ha-ands I failed my role As a hero, as a friend, as a brother Oh I'm so sorry Miles It seems that we have Failed the special stage Running On my own Gazing Into the stars Raining Still moving Grieving A lost friend Wondering How did I fumble Stopping And thinking What did I miss?

[@ballislife2835]

What if he was dreaming the whole time, tails was safe and they beat robotnik after he caught tails. And this is all just a fear of losing tails. It makes sense since he never really was confirmed dead. Sonic was just afraid of the fact that he would have to live with the guilt of tails death forever.

I find it really interesting how abruptly the game ends just because you didn't get the Chaos Emeralds, and also how one character missing from the sky completely changes the overtones of the ending. Sonic being there with Tails, looking up at both their apparitions? Represents how good friends they are, that their bond will never break. Tails solo? It's like a reminder that he exists - or existed. Then the kick in the balls from the Game Over screen.

[@Renzo-cn4zw]

in genesis sonic 2: eggman still had the chaos emeralds for no completing all the bonus stages! in game gear sonic 2: you are noob tails is f*cking dead for no finding the secret chaos emeralds in all stages like a god
