Tails is said to be a kitsune- a mythical being with multiple Tails, usually a fox. Tails origins are hard to decipher, thanks to the many differing Sonic series...
Let's see what we know. I'll combine the series and see what I come up with!
Tails had two parents (One was Amadeus Prower, I can't remember the mother's name), however, Robotnik (Eggman) captured them and turned them into cybernetic robots, leaving Tails, very young and alone, to fend for himself.
Tails had a very tough time when he was young. He became withdrawn and shy, and the other children of his birthplace teased him every day, sometimes even destroying his projects, that he'd spent ages making, right in front of his eyes!
Somehow, Tails came across Sonic, running through a forest (Tails crash landed somewhere, I think: He was just learning how to fly, you see) and he felt strangely compelled to run after the speedy hedgehog! He was chasing him, but he was still pretty shy, so he didn't make his presence known... until he spotted the tornado! He broke away from Sonic and started tinkering with his plane.
Sonic came along and caught him red-handed (Episode 18, Sonic X). Tails didn't know it was impolite to mess with other people's bi-planes and repaint them, but luckily Sonic wasn't the kinda hedgehog to take him to task over it. In fact, the hedgehog liked what Tails had done! Sonic and Tails exchanged introductions, and Sonic did something Tails had never had done to him before... he offered him his friendship*. Tails could barely believe it, but Sonic was serious, and they quickly became best friends. Sonic could tell how underconfident Tails was, and realised, with a little friendship, he could get Tails to get over his past and regain some self-esteem.
After that point, logic and chronology says Sonic Adventure 1 started soon after this.
* This is why I still like Sonic, even though he's arrogant and a complete brat.
So, what do you guys think? Sounds right?

Yeah, that sounds right. Although sounds like its only the Archie Comics and Sonic X. The other series shows different things...
In Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog (sonic series with Sonic and Tails only. Mainly for the young kids.), There was a flashback sonic had.
In it, Sonic was speeding along in mobius when he stopped. He looked, and suddenly a young 2-tailed fox landed on top of Sonic. He talked to the little fox. The little one said that he was looking for a home (or parents i think). Sonic sped off, and the fox chased him. He said "Wanna see me cry?" and he does so. The river of tears caused Sonic to slip and crash... Sonic was then being carried by the little flying fox (its a really cute picture) when Sonic said he can come along with him. Being very excited, the fox dropped him while yelling "Great! You can be my big brother!" *CRASH*. The fox was carrying the now more crippled (for the scene) hedgehog when Sonic asked for his name. The fox had Sonic promise him that he wont tell anyone his name, and said his name was Miles. Sonic did some quick thinking, and said he will call him Tails. Tails flew around with joy with Sonic yelling in pain (he is injured from crashing...).
That is the 1 i know. I need to find more info on the 1 from the other Sonic Series.

Tails' mother is Rosemary, she never got roboticized, Amadeus(The second in command of Mobotropolis, second to King Maxamillion Acorn, Sally's dad) was roboticized and kiddnapped her on the day Tails was born(Sonic and Sally brung her to the hospital, they were there when Tails was born) while she was too tired to do anything and all of a sudden they were transported to another planet by some alien (I can't make this up guys, Sonic #129) and Amadeus was deroboticized. They have been there ever since and when Sonic was blown away in space, he met up with them on the way back to Mobius, but the ship Sonic came in could never fit 2 or 3 people so they stood there and gave Sonic something to give Tails and it was a watch that had a holographic image of Amadues and Rosemary saying that they miss him.

I knew some one just HAD to point point out Archie Comics, #129. Yeah, I've read it too...  That sucked! Honestly, this rubbish Archie came up with degrades the entire Sonic following! But I do admit it was a beautiful scene, with Tails and Sonic both crying. I'm just waiting for Archie comics to come crashing down. As I said, Tails origins are hard to figure out. Not ALL of the series can be right at the same time, so that was a kind of mix between Sonic X, Archie and SatAM. I refuse to acknowledge anything to do with Aliens or alternate dimensions.  I always think of comics as fanfics, and not to be taken seriously. But I think that Aosth intro for Tails sounds cool! What episode was it? |

The comics and cartoons aren't offical stories of the Sonic series(Sonic X is sorta), this is the same as getting facts from fan made stories and games. Putting them all together only gives you a mess of unoffical garbage.

But I think that Aosth intro for Tails sounds cool! What episode was it? Im not sure. If they still sell the VHS tapes, its a red box with sonic trying to stop a train... What happens during the episode is that Tails gets caught by Scratch and Grounder, but Sonic saves him (hilariously of course...), but then finaly says that Tails shouldnt follow him anymore and tried to get him a home. I'll just leave it at that since the rest is just spoilers... |

Heh, funny about that. I rented that tape today by fate. It was sitting there in the free section without a box.
So, like any self-respecting Sonic fan, I rented it. Having watched it just a few hours ago, HERE'S MY SUMMARY! Spoilers, I guess, sorta.
It begins with Scratch and Grounder picking on Tails and getting him with a Pokémon-esque stretchy hand. Sonic comes out of nowhere and jumps onto Grounder. After a crack or two about in-flight movies, he uses reverse pschology to make him crash into a cliff. Sonic is then determined to find Tails a safe home.
His first home has him parented by two chickens. Their house lights on fire and then floods and explodes and Tails remarks that he'd be safer with Robotnik. Then he goes to a house with a retired army general who fits the stereotype in every way. Sonic and Tails run away.
Then he sees a TV with a lost child notice and Tails' picture and contact instructions. They go to that house and his parents give him things and say that Tails belongs with his own kind. There's a goodbye scene and it's really sad. Tails' parents take off the costumes and reveal that they work for Robotnik. Big suprprise.
Back to Sonic, he tries to convince himself that he did the right thing and fails. He says that things'll never be the same thing without him. Flashback scene!
Tails trys to talk to some birds and they kick him out. He falls onto Sonic passing by.
Tails: Oh, I'm sorry, Mister. I wanted to live with them... but they kicked me out...
Sonic: Why would you wanna live with them? You're not a bird!
Tails: But I can fly! Maybe I'm a bug?
Sonic: No, you're a fox! And foxes can't fly!
Tails: I can! *does so*
Sonic: You have two Tails!
Tails: Doesn't everyone? Hey, can I live with you?
Sonic: Sorry, but I can't slow down for something like that!
Tails: Do you wanna see me cry?! *cries, creating a big puddle water stream thing*
Sonic: *slips and crashes into something offscreen* Okay, I guess I'll let you come with for a while to see how it goes...
(Scene change: Tails is carrying Sonic because he got hurt)
Sonic: So what's your name, kid?
Tails: Promise you won't tell anyone? It's Miles.
Sonic: Miles?
Tails: Yeah... hate it.
Sonic: Then I'll call you something else... how 'bout Tails?
Tails: Yay! This is a great day for me! I learned that I'm not a bird or a bug, I got a new name, and a big brother! I'm Tails! *flies away*
Sonic realizes that if those were Tails's real parents, they would have called him Miles, not Sonic's nockname. He kicks their asses.
Tails and Sonic walk away like normal. Tails says that Sonic is his mom, his dad, and his picket fence. Aww...
Flashback modified for accuracy.

Aww, that's cute ;D ! "Mom, dad and picket fence!". I'm SOO renting that when I find it. BTW, Kogen, what did you mean by the cartoons and comics aren't official? What IS? Yuji Naka wasn't always in control of Sonic the Hedgehog, and SatAM, AOSTH and Underground all happened outside his 'region of control'. When you say putting the series together you come up with a bunch of unofficial garbage, are you saying only what Yuji Naka says goes? Yuji Naka's no more official than Ben Hurst or Pat Allee is. In fact, they're better writers than Naka anyway. (The chant goes something like 'Yuji Naka is a baka', I think). I agree with you about the comics though; they're just fanfics that LOOK official. BTW, how do you do those quote thingies? |

Hey, got some info! Episode 16 of AOSTH is the one we're all talking about. It's apparently one of the better cartoons of this series. Another one we Tails fans might like is Episode 59, Tails' tale. It's also apparently one of the BEST. Can you believe that there's sixty-six episodes of AOSTH?!?!? Wow! The series finale (Aww, now that I think about it, I'd love there to be a hundred AOSTH eps!!) is a cross-over with SatAM and also rules. Isn't it weird that the best episodes seem to have a lot to do with Tails?  |

The last episode has a Princess Sally, not the SatAM one. Plus there was a XMas episode with Knuckles.

If you meant the Christmas special that AOSTH had that had "Sally" in it, then i have it recorded. Notice she is pink and has black hair... i believe that wasnt meant to be a "Cross-Over to SaTAM"... ... it isnt that amazing that 66 episodes of AoSTH was made... one other episode of it was the one where robotnik made some gum that makes you as fast as sonic, but when it was lost, Tails steps on it, getting it stuck to his shoe, and he suddenly runs FASTER than Sonic. That was one of the cutest, and embarresing ones for Sonic  |
