I love how Sonic's and Tails's personalities're so marked in this animation. Sonic bein' practically fearless, goin' fast, takin' risks and goin' without even thinkin' 'bout it a sec as always but he takes it serious if he sees his bud' is in trouble. Tails always tries to help and protect Sonic, he follows 'im almost wherever he goes and Tails's scared of darkness. Brilliant. Da animation is, definitely, superb. 1 of my favorite parts is from 11:17, where Eggman destroys everything and Tails tries his best to not drop Sonic, he simply doesn't give up. That's a demonstration of how strong their friendship's. Welp, Sonic even considers Tails as his li'l bro.

I personally love how, when Mecha-Sonic is scanning them, Tails comes up as "Kitsune" instead of "Fox". The two are, technically, synonymous, however, it's a welcome nod to the origin and inspiration of the character. It's such a shame that Tails comes across as the butt of a bad joke, but that's somewhat forgiven in all the instances where it's illustrated that he's trying as hard as he can. On another note, while being afraid of the ghosts is forgivable, the only fear that Tails officially has in canon is Astraphobia, which is a fear of thunder and lightning, so him cowering in the dark is a bit out of character.

[@driveasandwich6734]

Weirdly enough, this is not the only fancanon where Tails is afraid of ghosts.

[@chrissysonicutdrloz]

I don't see it as Tails being the butt of the jokes. I see it as, he's a sweet, little, 8-year-old boy. No matter how smart he is, he's gonna be cute and funny by nature.

[@Lizarius]

Tails is easily my favorite part of this. He's trying so hard to be helpful to Sonic, and Sonic's always coming to his rescue. The best part is that the mutual efforts pay off a lot of the time. Intentional or not, Tails keeps helping in pretty big ways. That clutch catch in Lava Reef, tho~

Although there are some inaccuracies with story telling (by original Japanese story Eggman arrives much earlier than Sonic and Tails because events takes place not exactly right after Sonic 2 ending / Knuckles thinks Death Egg is a "dragon" and other minor stuff), I'm gonna say it again it is a very unique and well-made project. Good job 👏
