Superlative!
That game was absolutely fantastic! The Tails versus Tails Doll scenario is quite intriguing and has never really been significantly delved into.
The atmosphere that pervaded throughout the game was a very accurate depiction of both Halloween and, in general, a nightmare. I also liked that the music-before the boss fight-blended into the background and didn't force its way into the forefront.
Allowing Tails to whirl his namesakes from a crouching position was a very interesting and original concept. I didn't have too much use for it, except to collect several rings at the beginning of the game, but nonetheless, it's certainly something to keep in mind for future games-or an expansion of the current one.
For those who are struggling to defeat the Tails Doll, here is my suggestion: the doll begins by flinging three black orbs at you, then moves in an arc from the left side of the screen to the right. It can only be damaged by jumping underneath it; above or across does not damage it, which is why it's advisable to attack while you are at a standstill.
After the doll reaches the right-hand section of the screen, it begins to float to the ground. There will also be a question mark over your head, signifying when you try to move left, you'll move right and vice versa. Upon reaching the ground, it glides across from right to left. Two black orbs revolve around it, but if you time it correctly, you can jump on its head. Hit him one more time and he'll change into his next form.
The second form is, in my opinion, the easiest. Spikes spring from the ground, but you'll get a warning by way of black holes, so if you stay in the centre of the screen, you can both hit the doll and avoid the spikes at the same time, thereby killing two birds with one stone. Three or four hits will bring it into its final form.
In its third-and last- form, the doll will teleport to random places on the ground, using the accursed black orb. It stays stationary for about a few seconds, so use a spindash to hit the doll. Three time's the charm!
I can do nothing but shake my head in awe at the quality of this piece of art. Most of all, I simply had fun with it and could play it again and again.
