Miles Electric

*"Where'd you get all these cool gadgets?"
"I invented 'em. That's kinda my thing. In fact, my inventions are how I discovered you."*
―Sonic the Hedgehog and Tails[src]
The **Miles Electric** is a multifunctional handheld device created and used by Tails to track Sonic the Hedgehog on Earth.

## History

### Tracking Sonic

*"Intruder imminent!"*
―Miles Electric to Tails[src]
In search of Sonic the Hedgehog, Tails equips his Miles Electric in an attempt to locate him throughout the galaxy, noticing chaos energy signatures emitting from Sonic's Island. Once scanning the source, the Miles Electric constructed a map that narrows down the location of Tails' target, visiting the Marble Zone, the Spring Yard, the Aquatic Ruins and Hill Top. Once he knows that an intruder is imminent, Tails visited through these places faster. Eventually at his seemingly dead end, the Miles Electric reads signatures from the Mushroom Planet and Earth, and chooses to see Earth. Tails later arrived on Earth, exiting out a ring portal.

### Race to the Master Emerald

#### Visiting Siberia

*"Твое дыхание пахнет козьим дерьмом."
"Что вы сказали!?"*
―Miles Electric and Tatiana[src]
Tails would later form an alliance with Sonic, joining him in finding the powerful Master Emerald before his rivals Knuckles and Eggman do.

The duo would enter a bar in Siberia, where Tails uses the Miles Electric as a translator to order beef stew. Being given the wrong order, Tails requests the original order again, only for the Miles Electric to mistranslate Tails' sentence into an insult toward the waitress. The bar patrons then threaten them while Tails searches for Siberian customs, yelling "Pivonka", which engages a dance battle that saves them both.

The next day, Tails found the location of where a compass to the emerald is to be found, entering a cave that details the War for the Master Emerald in its walls, translating the written language with his device.

### Battle Against the Giant Eggman Robot

*"Looks like your fancy robot has a glitch! Is it me? What about me? I'm over here! Up top! Down below! Behind you! I'm over here! Sorry! Over here! Too slow!"*
―Tails Holograms to Doctor Eggman[src]
Fighting Eggman, who has acquired the Master Emerald, Tails surrounds him with multiple holographic clones to distract him from Knuckles about to attack him.

## Design and Capabilities

*"If these readings are accurate, he's here. I found him! I just hope I'm not too late."*
―Tails[src]
The Miles Electric is a yellow handheld tracking device that can detect chaos energy signatures and create a pattern regarding them. It can also project holograms of maps and planetary systems, as well as detect interference from ring portals and use them to detect when a ring portal is inbound. It has a flawed translator installed, and possesses a "Miles Multiplier" function, which duplicates an individual into identical holograms.
