Look-a-like Hammer ?!
In Sonic Advance 3, playing with Tails and Amy will give Tails his own unique Hammer. However, this hammer has a similar palette to his hammer from Tails Adventures.
Tumblr media
However, these two hammers function differently. Sonic Advance 3's hammer can be used in flight and on the ground, while the Tails Adventures' hammer can be used in a jump and on ground, not being able to be used in flight. It is also much slower than the Sonic Advance 3 hammer and its hitbox hitting mostly above rather than hitting the ground.
Tumblr media
Due to these differences, and the development of Sonic Advance 3's hammer being unknown, it may be a coincidence.

Sea Tail Troubles
The Sea Tail, otherwise known as the Sea Fox, is a submarine-like transformation that Mecha Tails can take to help Tails traverse the water in Tails Adventures. A notable detail of it is that it has an orange stripe near the drill. This isn't the Sea Tail's first appearance, however. It's first appearance is within Sonic the Hedgehog: Triple Trouble, also known as Sonic and Tails 2. Something to note is between the two appearances, they share notable design differences from eachother. Such as the glass being wrapped in white toward the bottom of the glass, or the lack of the orange stripe on the Triple Trouble design. Below is an image showing the two Sea Tails.
Tumblr media
(Triple Trouble's Sea Tail sprites were ripped by PixelMarioXP on The Spriters Resource) Curiously, however, in the Sonic Triple Trouble 16-bit remake by Noah Copeland, not only are you able to traverse an area strikingly similar to Tails Adventures' Lake Rocky, but you are also placed into the Sea Tail! (see image below.)
Tumblr media
However, even though it is a remake of Triple Trouble, it uses Tails Adventures' Sea Tail. While not game-ruining, it is important to notice the differences between the two Sea Tails, considering that they come from different time frames.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TAILS ADVENTURES!
28 years ago, Tails Adventures was released on this very day. Happy 28th Anniversary, Tails Adventures! I have already done a little thing in celebration of this occasion.. Check the new Tails spritesheet on The Spriters Resource! I hoped to lead up to this better.. But i've never done a fact-posting account before- nevertheless done it daily! This has been a learning experience for me. Enjoy this very special day!

Woah! A Chaos BOMB?!?!?!!!?!?!?!!?!
Within TALES, you can set the default item to be something other than the regular bomb. It also gives you the ability to set down an item box containing the it- however, since the bomb isn't intended to be picked up like this, its pick-up text uses the Chaos Emerald one.
Tumblr media
No, you cannot perform Chaos Control with bombs. Don't try it.

Tails' Little Good Luck Charm
Here's a tip; Keep Remote Robot (or, alternatively, Mecha Tails) on you at all times! This little guy always has a use!

Nice try! There isn't anything up here either!
Within Poloy Mountain 1, the first encounter with Battle Kukku XVI, otherwise known as Speedy, will have platforms in the area. Upon revisiting the area upon Speedy's defeat, these platforms will be missing. There is nothing up there.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Here are images of the platforms during the Speedy encounter.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Here are images after the encounter, with the platforms missing. Seriously, there is nothing up there. Don't bother.

The Title Screen
The Tails' Adventures Title Screen features an error with the bottom part of the main island, where it is mistakenly offset from the rest of the island. Nearly the first thing you see when booting up the game, the Tails Adventures Title Screen features an error with the bottom part of Cocoa Island, the biggest island- thats gone un-noticed for YEARS! (though, canonically it is a small island..) If you look at it closely, you can notice that the bottom row of tiles is mistakenly offset from the rest of the island!
Tumblr media
[Image Description: The original, default Tails Adventure title screen, seen within the TALES editor. The bottom set of tiles of the island are offset to the left by one, causing it to be unaligned with the rest of the island.] Below, is an edit to the tiles to shift them into the right place.

TailsTrivia Mod is taking a nap. Hold out, Mod!
Taking a break from posting, obviously. I've gotta build the queue, do some Tails Adventures sprite ripping, and give more of an identity to this blog!

Remote Bomb VS Remote Bomb
This is an image of a Remote Bomb sitting on spikes within Poloy Forest. The Mechakotik remake can't do this for two reasons. 1- Remote Bombs explode if stationary, and 2- Remote Bombs explode on spikes and walls. Whew, that's a lot of Remote Bomb mentions!

Whoops I Slipped Into The Wall
Tails Adventures features two ledge climb states- short ledge climbs, and long ledge climbs. There exists an error with the short ledge climb state where the second frame will dig into the wall.

Hold on- Let me just shift to the side...
Within Volcanic Tunnel- there is an area where you go around to get to a spot where you need to use the Remote Bomb to exit the area. However- the falling platform in this section allows you to skip this small section, due to it letting you jump through it.
Tumblr media
The Mechakotik remake does not let you do this.

Hey! You aren't supposed to see this!
Tails Adventures partially supports the SMS screen size. In the most areas it looks decently normal- but near all exits and all places where the camera boundaries aren't built for the screen size, it displays things you aren't meant to see. Below is a near-mid area screenshot.

Whoops! Missing Post!
Apologies for missing yesterday's post. It's hard to keep this up for a little bit, especially since I don't have a queue- so further posts will be delayed until Saturday- where I'll include facts for the days I've missed. Daily posting will likely resume on Sunday up until the 22nd. In the meantime, asks will be answered.
