'''Miles Prower''',  better known by his nickname "'''Tails'''", is a two-tailed yellow fox from the ''{{wp|Sonic the Hedgehog}}'' franchise, and the sidekick and best friend of [[Sonic]]. He is a mechanical genius who has the ability to spin his tails like a propeller, and thus fly. In ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games]]'' and ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games]]'', he is voiced by [[sonicretro:Amy Palant|Amy Palant]], but in ''[[Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games]]'', he has been voiced by [[Kate Higgins]]. Since 2014, he has been voiced by [[sonicretro:Colleen O'Shaughnessey|Colleen O'Shaughnessey]]. "Miles Prower" is a pun on "miles per hour".

Tails is a playable character in ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games]]''. He is a Skill type character, with skill and stamina being his best stats. Ironically, he is quite slow in this game, while he is quite speedy in the ''Sonic'' games.

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', Tails appears in the background of the [[Green Hill Zone]] stage as a cameo. He can occasionally be seen running through the loop in the background, alongside fellow ''Sonic'' characters [[Knuckles]] and [[Silver]]. Tails also appears in the form of a collectible [[trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]] and [[sticker (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|sticker]].

Tails reprises his role from ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'', running in the background of Green Hill Zone, along with Knuckles and Silver. Tails makes an appearance as a Trophy in both versions of the game. An outfit based off of Tails appears as a DLC outfit for [[Mii Gunner]]s in both versions. It was released in February 2016, alongside a [[Knuckles]] outfit.
