Why Tails is in his mech?
I want to know the story behind the devs who saw him and immediately thought that he'd be better in his plane rather than flying with his own tail.

Eggman can't fly like Tails so in order to keep the contrasting rivalries they decided to have Tails use the shooting sections from Gamma in Sonic Adventure.

Well, Tails is known for his mechanical genius. :SonicManiaTails: He's the opposite of Dr. Eggman in that regard. Where Eggman would use technology for evil purposes, Tails would use technology for the greater good. Both of which have been established as early as the Mega Drive games with the Death Egg and the Tornado.

His mech in this game is basically an extension of that, where transforming his plane into a mech allows him to access areas he wouldn't normally be able to access otherwise. His plane wouldn't fit and would be blown to bits in mere seconds, and he also wouldn't survive on foot either with all the robots in his way.

They actually thought people would have fun playing that stages, lol. I just had suffering each time I played this game

If they wanted a parallel to the Eggman shooting stages they could have just had him run and glide around with a laser gun or something, like the Gamma Stages in the first game. Especially since they went to the trouble of making a functional on foot model just for the garden.

The developers were making everyone equal to each other so that they share similar gameplay styles countering their evil or hero rivals, since Eggman cant fly they decided to put him as well as tails in a mech :)

It would've been better if they could've just made Tails like in SA1 or even just let him quit his mech.

You mean just 90% re-used Sonic gameplay that's less fun and completely broken because of his flight abilities?

You can control him outside his mech in the Chao Garden.

There is a mod that would allow you to play as Tails throughout the Hero Story, but... you might get soft locked somewhere. Mod runs good though otherwise.

The soft lock I ran into was the fight with King Boom Boo. You're supposed to be Knuckles, but as Tails and since you can't dig as Tails... you can't beat the boss at all, and thus soft lock.

Oh also, it would also allow playing as Tails without his mech in his stages, and give him control of flight like in SA1 if you so choose.

Because while the game was in dveelopment, tails wasn't even going to *appear,* with only sonic, knux, and eggman playable, but they liked the "Hero vs Dark" theme so much he was added.

Maybe they should've stuck with the original plan.

Yes they are compared to Eggman's, especially Hidden Base.

It'd be a little ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up if an 8 year old child got shot by a GUN mech point blank, wouldn't it?

...I mean, GUN soldiers had zero issues with shooting and killing a 14-year-old girl in this game.

And Eggman threatened to blow the brains out of a 12 year old girl, at point blank.
(Bearing in mind, he kept that pistol pointed at Amy for quite a while)

...Man, this game gets dark sometimes, doesn't it? :lunar2020horrifiedrat:
