This is actually inspiring to young kids with an older sibling / role model. No joke

[@tomkeygaming8653]

Yep, the song also applies to Tails since he depends on Sonic but needs to become stronger and depend on himself

[@tomkeygaming8653]

Which is why he had to GET A LOAD OF THIS alone

[@RosheenQuynh]

Or people who unintentionally identifies with Tails in looking up to Sonic. Like me x'3

[@dukew.bravewolf1661]

Absolutely! My friend Phoebe has always been inspired by Sonic the Hedgehog ever since November of 2019 and she always dreams of meeting him! I might use this cover and Emi’s cover of It Doesn’t Matter to make a tribute video of her!

Of all the character themes from Sonic Adventure, I think this was the most profound. Knowing Tails' history, and given the fact that he's the youngest of the team (during the events of Sonic Adventure), he has the hardest time believing in the talents that make him special, but with support from the others, he has the most room to grow.

[@RosheenQuynh]

I recently discovered that I am very much like Tails in quite a number of ways and it really shook me to the core because I had always thought myself more like Sonic. I shall count them in a Tails-style ramble: Me and a friend were discussing some stuff and I was attempting to convince her how I was like Sonic, but due to my lethargic lifestyle, shyness, and other traits, I am virtually opposite of Sonic. During that conversation, I told her that I was pre-SA1 Tails in that until I am able to achieve all the traits Sonic has (such as being truly free-spirited, confidence, and need for speed) and basically blossom into the person I strive to be, I am like Tails where I yearn to be a better version of me but am not there yet. I was thinking about Tails' theme at the time and the lyrics always spoke to me but for the first time, they were made clear to me at that moment. I may feel like Sonic but I am not actually him because I want to be like him. "I wanna be like him, but that is not something I can do so easily. It's not simply my way, my style, gotta get a hold of my life." I honestly blew my own mind upon the realization of these lyrics and how well they fit my situation. The chorus honestly hits me right in the heart: "I wanna fly high so I can reach the highest of all the heavens, Somebody will be waiting for me so I have gotta fly higher, Gotta keep goin', everything is a brand new challenge for me. I will believe in myself - This is the only start for me." Legitimately crying as I write this because I so desperately want to aim for higher goals in life. My biggest dream in life is to find my Heartmate so that I can be whole (this is linked to my love for Void from Sonic Shuffle) and I want to believe that they are waiting for me at the end of the rainbow; the path I need to take to become the true person I was meant to be. Because of this, I try every day to believe in myself and persist through my struggles. Among the other pieces of dialogue I love from my favorite game, Sonic Shuffle, Tails' quote is one I treasure as much as Sonic's line: "When I'm down and I feel I can't go on anymore... That's when I know I have to try harder! Because I have my own dreams!" His dream is to be stronger so he can help Sonic, and likewise, one of my dreams is to be stronger so I can help others in any way that I can. For the longest time, I made Tails my second favorite character but beyond the fact that Tails adorable, likable, intelligent, and that I thoroughly adore the friendship between him and Sonic, I had no idea why I liked him so much. Deep down, I knew I was Tails due his backstory, personality, and other factors. I have always looked up to Sonic as a role model and boy, does that fit Tails to a T! While watching your Sonic Mania Launch Night Celebration video, I cried extremely hard upon hearing Tails' origin story for the first time. I think without knowing it, you influenced my liking for Tails even more over the course of being subscribed to you. Furthermore, I have always had an interest in winged creatures and the love for flight. And before I realized this fact, I always favored Tails' gameplay in Sonic Adventure 1 over the others. While I don't really see myself as intelligent, let alone having a high IQ, I have been told all my life that I am in fact super smart by a number of people, even despite my disagreement and the simple fact that individuals with Asperger's are known to have higher intelligence than most. While I am not adept by any means with technology, I have held an interest for robotics and all things sci-fi for as long as I can remember. I am not exactly the most level-headed person in the world but I aspire to be as gentle-hearted and sweet-natured as I can possibly be. The one thing I am undoubtedly is loyal to a fault. I stand by my friends and will not budge from their side. I have always been vigilant to lend a hand and be for the people I care for most in their times of need, whether it's to provide counsel or a willing ear to a problem. Admittedly, no matter how outgoing and open I try to be or how loud and outspoken I tend to be, I am actually quite timid and quiet, especially around strangers. As proven by this very description I also have a really, I mean really bad habit of going on a tangent (though, they are never full of technobabble; just babble in general). Even the little things such as his demeanor near the tail-end of the Sonic Mania trailer are things I have done in real life prior to my knowledge of me being like Tails. In Sonic Adventure 2, I would prefer picking Tails to play as while in the Chao Garden. Under normal circumstances, I choose to play as Sonic as a default but Tails' flight gave me a unique way to play as a Chao caretaker. For whatever unexplained reason, I would take advantage of Tails' ability to fly in the Hero Garden, staying above the Chao. It was as if I were acting as a protector for them, and the only character that felt right being one was Tails. Sure, any character could be a temporary Chaos-like guardian, that's part of the appeal. But it just seemed to fit Tails so well that it just comes naturally for me. It may not mean much but I still want to thank you for covering this amazing and inspiring song and being an influence on my outlook on life.

[@Mizuki312]

This game and Tails story are the main reason why I stopped "admiring" my older brother and thinking I couldn't be as good as him in games, and started trying on my own. Learning, crying alone and developing my own ways to play every game I liked, and not simply following what he taught me when I was almost a baby. I played Sonic Adventure when I was a child and I think Tails' story is so touching but also simple to understand and relate to. The final boss is not really hard, but you know it's the final boss and it makes your heart beat faster. And the fact that this time Sonic is not around in the story and Egg Walker is a new and unique boss, really makes it feel like it's something huge for Tails. The cutscene says it all. "I'm not scared. I'm not scared" -he says to himself-. He's fuqqing scared but he can't just allow it and do nothing. And I think that's what I had to face when even Marble Zone's music from Sonic 1 scared the hell out of 5 years old me. I was scared but I had to do it. And thanks to that, my brother and I never stopped playing games in our lives, but today I'm way better than him in absolutely everything we play.

[@oldchannel2892]

This song always spoke to me. I've found that I'm not really liked or trusted by many people, so really every experience I have is, as this song says, "A Brand New Challenge for me". But now that I've found something I enjoy, I've learned that there really are things only I can do when help is needed. And now that I've realized that what I love to do, "Is the only start for me." It's hard to believe this one song was what always helped me out through my life so far, and you really did the song justice with this cover. So, thank you so much!

Only if Sega ever decides to try a Sonic Adventure style form of Story telling rather than thinking that good writing is Sonic and Tails spouting the phrase "Baldy Mcnose hair" in every other sentence.

[@PurpleSanzz]

Metal may be my favorite, but i relate to Tails a whole lot more. While i like to think of myself as more of a Sonic especially since i have two younger brothers and a short best friend that is a few months younger than me, i think I'm more similar to Pre-SA1 Tails than anything. I try to be confident, but no matter what i always need to have someone else by my side when doing something in fear i get something wrong. But who knows, maybe I'll learn to grow and improve in the future.
