Biography

Power Source: Varies Base Character: Miles "Tails" Prower Used In: Games, Comics

Super Tails is Miles "Tails" Prower's Super State which is only seen in Sonic 3 & Knuckles. Tails simply glows and is surrounded by super flickies that attack any enemy on screen. Unlike Sonic and Knuckles, Tails requires all seven Super Emeralds to achieve this form, making it really more analogous to their Hyper forms. additionally, Super Tails has the standard Super State powers of higher speed and invincibility.

Tails was given a new Super State in Sonic Heroes, thanks to Chaos Energy from Super Sonic. While the only physical change was a golden spherical aura (similar to Super Sonic's in Sonic Adventure), Tails received all of the modern abilities of a Super State. These include the ability to fly as well as the inability to brake. Additionally, Tails received the ability to use an attack similar to Sonic's "Light Attack". Fans were upset that this state didn't take on the original appearance of Super Tails and because of it, there is doubt in the minds of some that it is a Super State at all.

In the Archie comics, Super Tails was called Hyper Tails (which is itself a common misnomer for Super Tails, made common by Super Tails' similarity to Hyper Sonic and Hyper Knuckles). He also has a form called "Turbo Tails," which was analogous to Super Sonic and to Super Knuckles (who in turn was called "Hyper Knuckles"), resulting in some confusion.
