The Remote Robot[1] (メカテイルス Meka Teirusu?, lit. "Mecha Tails"),[2] is an object that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It is a robot used by Tails that is capable of accessing different narrow sections in the game by its small size and its flying ability.

Appearance[]

The Remote Robot has a chicken walker design and vaguely resembles Tails; it has a rounded body and large head both colored orange, the head has two points on the top that resemble ears, two oval eyes colored blue, and a white muzzle-like piece attached to the lower part of the head via two gray bolts. On the bottom of the body is two white, thin legs with white and red feet, resembling Tails' shoes.

The Remote Robot also has the ability to transform itself into the Sea Fox, a small, one-manned submarine, for marine missions.

Overview[]

In Tails Adventure, the Remote Robot is an object found in Poloy Forest after defeating the Bird Walker. After this, the robot is equiped to Tails' inventory and can be unequiped by visiting Tails' House.

In gameplay, the Remote Robot can be used in Land stages by equipping it and pressing Game Gear I Button while standing still. While the player is controlling the Remote Robot, Tails cannot be controlled, but will be invulnerable to any obstacles. For the most part, the Remote Robot's controls are similar to Tails'; as such, it can move around by pressing left/right on Controlpadds and jump by pressing Game Gear II Button. It can also fly; unlike Tails' Heli-Tails, however, it flies by holding up on Controlpadds while standing still and pressing Game Gear II Button, rather than by pressing Game Gear II Button in mid-air. Also, unlike the Heli-Tails, the Remote Robot's flight is unlimited, and is not affected by wind. The Remote Robot is also half the size of Tails himself, allowing it to explore narrow paths the fox cub cannot enter. However, it lacks offensive features, though it cannot be damaged; that said, nevertheless, it will immediatly go back to Tails after being hit by special devices found in the Land version of Battle Fortress. When the player presses Game Gear I Button again, the Remote Robot will automatically head back to Tails' location.

In the game's end credits, Tails can be seen building a much larger version of the Remote Robot which explodes several times during creation, which is partly due to an interfering Flicky.
