health down to a third let's inject a good dose of awesome by having an epic instrumental version of tails theme kick in making the player feel that same sense of pride tales must be feeling in this moment then going into silence after the fight as the crowd cheers him on tails his main theme then starting up as he realizes he's had the power inside him all along playing on into the next scene meeting back up with sonic and into his end credits capping off his story in a very cathartic and uplifting manner both tales and the player feeling like they've accomplished something great aside from tails arc there are a few more details we can touch up for his story for when eggman tricks sonic and tales into gathering the emeralds for him tail should retrieve his jewel radar that was mentioned in the sonic NUMBER_TOKEN manual as the explanation for how they're able to track down the emeralds without using the special stages like mentioned before we could have emerald hill as an extra unlockable stage as a reward for getting all emblems so you could then use it as a set for tails flashback of meeting sonic since it's supposed to be a recreation of how it happened at the start of sonic NUMBER_TOKEN anyway tails wandering on his own discouraged from constant bullying but upon seeing sonic zoom by he's exhilarated and begins following him seeing him as a cool role model and after that as the game takes place in the evening sand hill should reflect that time of day perhaps with a new music track being given to it more befitting of night time at the end of this sand hill you could have him come across murals and stone artwork depicting the seven emeralds and the master emerald leading into his flashback with the call nicely these flashback scenes are a fun aspect of si-NUMBER_TOKEN storytelling where all the characters get their own scenes of what went down in the past since the scenes are presented out of order it becomes a game of piecing it all together to get the bigger picture of the character motivations and true stakes at play but one criticism toward them is why tikal would show certain seemingly uninvolved characters these flashbacks well like matilda's flashback here we can rework the lead-ins to some of these scenes to feel more organic where certain characters instead stumble upon this stuff by themselves by interacting with pieces of the lost civilization that give them visions of the ancient past as sonic and tails land on the egg carrier we now come to the only real plot hole of saNUMBER_TOKEN tails use the red emerald to power the tornado too but considering how they're trying to prevent chaos and eggman from obtaining all samurai emeralds why after they land on the egg carrier do they just leave it there instead of taking it with them honestly it's a miracle chaos didn't just snatch it considering it's literally just a couple dozen meters away at the time of the chaos NUMBER_TOKEN boss fight so we'll instead have tails make sure to take the chaos emerald with him but then how does it end up in the jungle at bix house in that case easy when tails and amy escape from the ship since it's storming by that point you can have a clap
