I'm not just talking about levels and stuff. I mean, should the plot of Sonic games involve Tails more? Or could they do a better job with the script for him?

Yeah they should because he doesn't have a lot of boss battles and get him involved more.

Tails only gets "Shooting Levels" and "Race against Sonic Levels", and it all adds up to a very low amount of levels... plus Tails is cramped into his Tornado in SA2. Dont get me wrong, i like it, but i want to spend time in levels that have him OUTSIDE of the Tornado! They also should give him a much larger role and give him many more levels. They always give Sonic atleast 10 levels, and everyone else around 5...
Lastly, they SHOULD make another game based only around Tails. I know about Tails' Sky Patrol and Tails Adventures, but maybe they should make Tails Adventures again in a way, for the Gamecube (or the next coming Nintendo system), being that its another RPG style gameplay, and maybe even make it kinda like FF or Mario RPG with their Turn Based Combat system... I know it sounds strange, but i just love RPG's and i like Tails (and Tails Adventure).

I agree that Tails should get more than he is getting now but look how much he got in SA compared to the other characters. He is getting good stuff but there is always room for improvement. Hopefully the next big Sonic game will have a nice big setting for Tails as SA did. But you have to remember, Tails is a sidekick to Sonic. A new Tails Adventures game would be pretty cool too.

Well, as long as Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles each get their fair share of character development, I'm not going to complain specifically that "Tails" doesn't get enough. Which isn't to say that I'm sure they are balanced.
I think they should work a bit on keeping anything from getting... what's the right word... cheesily generic? It's good to keep the characters all slightly generic to appeal to a wide audience, but I'm hoping that they maintain a balance between that and having well-rounded, interesting personalities.
As for Tails leading his own game, I think it would be nice if he had a GBA or DS game. It would have to do an awfully good job at giving him an interesting personality, though, in order to get a substantial audience. There are clearly plenty who aren't yet convinced that "Tails" is all that great of a character.

I don't see any reason for them to make a character 'Generic'. Who are they trying to impress? Every single character in Sonic's universe appeals to the different aspects of pop-culture today, so why make all the characters 'umbrella' characters?

A Tails Adventure game in 3D? That would be cool. Make it similar to Sonic Adventure except with Tail as the main character.

Having a Tails Adventure game in 3d would be nice but I doubt it will ever happen because technically speaking, Tails Adventure (The original) Wasn't all that appealing to other people. I , on the other hand, liked it alot and played it till i beat it. I have mentioned the idea of a 3D Tails Adventure game to my friends at the Sonic IRC channel and they all say that there is more of a chance of there being another Knuckles exclusive game than there being a Tails exclusive game. Sometimes I wish my friends weren't so blunt.

True, there is a chance of that being only Knuckles, but we all know hes too gullible, so it wouldnt make sense... (He got tricked by robotnik into helping him 4 times! Sonic 3, Sonic Adventure, and the Sonic X cartoon... TWICE! prolly more...)
Making it like Sonic Adventure sounds fun, yes, but make it more like the original Tails' Adventure. Make him run slow, use weapons, and limited flying depending on how many chaos emeralds you got, same with health. If its Turn Based Combat, there should be other pals OTHER THAN Sonic, Knuckles, and such.

I like the idea of a SA1 style game for Tails. The sad fact is, Knuckles is annoying. He came out of nowhere, and we were supposed to accept him. He's usually rude and harsh, not to mention stupid, and very, very, unforgivably boring. Knuckles is very plain, but Tails has a layered personality and is generally a nicer person. Because everyone's so used to seeing the kid as a side-kick, I doubt they'll give him a solo-game though (Not like the one we want). Pity. Knuckles is a prat. I agree with Xen. There are a few things that keep getting blurred and they should sort them out ASAP. IE: Tails cannot run at Sonic's speed. NOWHERE near it. Tails is strong, but not AWESOMELY strong like Knuckles. He's just a kid who's had a lot of excercise! His main strength is his intelligence, skill as a mechanic and pilot, and dedication. He's intelligent, but naive (He's only eight, or at max 12). So, although he's precocious about some stuff, he's not experienced like the others. The reason I'm listing these things is cause I just saw the Sonic the hedgehog movie, and I got around to wondering why Sonic was even in it, since Tails was as quick and as strong as he was. Sonic was only in there to fight Metal Sonic. (By the way, if you watch that movie, prepare yourself for substandard animation and PAINFUL vocalists). I guess you've noticed I'm pretty talkative sometimes? Well, that's cause I don't talk a lot OTHER times.

Yeah the anime rules. Watching it at this very second. The best vocalist is Tails'. She's so weird it's almost cute... Whatever. Mileskun, if they waste a game on Knuckles, then it's truly time for us to give up on Sonic Team. Knuckles is such a twit sometimes I wonder why he has ANY fans in the first place. He's a rapper (First, second AND third strike IMHO), he's got an annoying attitude, he's gullible... heck, half the time you'd be fighting for the wrong side in a Knuckles RPG.

Soz about the double post, but I just have to say this:
Stop going on and on saying the next Sonic game should only be on the nintendo systems, because some idiot at Sonic Team might take you seriously. All three major systems, or don't waste money on it. The biggest blunder SEGA could commit is to make a nintendo game only. If they HAD to chose one system to make the game for, it shouldn't be Gamecube, it should be PS2 or X-box. No offense to the GC, but more people own PS2s than GCs.

Krazed Kitsune is right about that. On a diffrent note. Hasn't anyone ever played Knuckles Chaotix? It diddn't really have a story line but it was a great game nonetheless. This WAS Knuckles's exclusive game. Generally speaking, the game was better than Tails Adventure. *Hides.* ( You also have to keep in mind 8bit vs 32bit.)

"Stop going on and on saying the next Sonic game should only be on the nintendo systems, because some idiot at Sonic Team might take you seriously.

If they HAD to chose one system to make the game for, it shouldn't be Gamecube, it should be PS2 or X-box. No offense to the GC, but more people own PS2s than GCs." You have an excellent argument, but then you go and second guess yourself by saying "if anything, it should be on PS2 or Xbox, because more people own it". No offense, but I can't tolerate such ignorance. You can't just ignore a minority. Additionally, that comment is on par with a noob saying, "screw the cube, it has no good games, plus Nintendo is going bancrupt". And for the record, the Gamecube version of Sonic Heroes sold more units than the PS2 version (although not by as huge of a percentage that they both beat out the Xbox version). Nonetheless, that tidbit isn't very important at this point in time. To defend the Nintendo fans here, I'd like to point out Yuji Naka's strong interest in sheltering Sonic on the gamecube. He wouldn't single out sonic's loyal fanbase. (Loyal fans play and support the games they cherish, thus they all bought a cube and bought the sonic games. Period.) But to support Krazed Kitsune's argument, his first comments are absolutely correct. Sonic needs to be on multi-platforms, to spread the goodness of Sonic, to keep every single fan happy, and to make enough money to continue making more. As far as Tails goes, a new game would be nice... or bettr dialogue... or more levels.... but honestly, I'd be just fine with some standard fast-paced loop-de-loop action. Bring Tails back to his roots!

Well those people can screw it, cause the next game is exclusive to the GCN. But back on topic... With this Shadow game, we see how they thought of Tails.

Um, the reason I said "If anything" was to say IF THEY MUST DO A GAME ON ONE CONSOLE. I didn't second guess anything. I'm still against the idea of making games for one system only.
"(Loyal fans play and support the games they cherish, thus they all bought a cube and bought the sonic games. Period.)"
WELL THIS LOYAL FAN DOESN'T HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO BUY A GAMECUBE! Christ, 'Tails'! I can't help it that I received a PS2 for my birthday back then, or that back then the ps2 was superior (With its backwards compatability, it might STILL be) to the other consoles, like the N64. You call ME ignorant but say something like THAT? I've never cast aspersions on the GCN and its games and while you defend Nintendo users, I must also defend the PS2, its users and their interests!

Sorry, Tails... (Abashed) No offense taken, I hope. You have a good point with the sales of Heroes etc., but I WASN'T being ignorant of GCN owners and I really would like to have a GameCube, if nothing else, for SA2:Battle. How was I to predict, however, when the dreamcast was still a strong factor in the world of console gaming, that they would start making Sonic games for the other systems and that the DreamCast would die? Sonic is SEGA's emblem, so I had no idea they would start making him for other consoles. It was a choice between owning the most powerful system available at the time (I was young and impetuous) or the Dreamcast, which I was told to be worthless by comparison. I thought Sonic was just going to die out, too, not be reborn on the other consoles! It annoys me when I see a GREAT game on one system, and know it will never appear on the PS2... then see GTA, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro and all the other Playstation symbols and mascots suddenly on another system!!
Perhaps I wasn't thinking when I said "It should be on the PS2 only, then", but you had no reasoning for calling me ignorant, at least not until you KNEW if it was ignorance, arrogance or something else.

I wouldnt mind seeing another Tails based game, but at the same time wouldnt be dissapointed if one never came. Tails is of course my favorite character, but all they need to do is focus on him more. Give him a bigger, more important role. He needs to be Sonic's teammate, not his sidekick.

Yeah he does need his own series, that way he won't be crammed in with the so-so and boring levels of other sonic characters. And as I've read other comments, yes, it would so rock if he had his own RPG. He is always left with the boring, or the "tiny fraction" portion of the game. Racing down the ice cap mountain with Tails can be fun, but once you start having to race with sonic in every level, it sure does get boring. He needs a different gameplay aspect, and RPG is the answer
