And that's why I always play Sonic only in Sonic 2.

Man oh man can I relate to this. I was thinking the same thing all the time, to the point where I got fed up and would deliberately skip the bonus stages in Sonic 2. Like most players I often failed to get the Chaos Emerald solely because Tails is slow and clumsy. And don't we all love that the game still shoves it to your face with a thumb down to mock your failure...
Frickin' awesome animation, man! Loved it! My only gripe is that it's a wee slow in the start, you could've possibly trimmed some fat there. Otherwise though, really god-dang impressive!
As a child, this was the most awful thing about Sonic 2, until my brother figured out you can control Tails with the 2nd controller. For years I've only ever replayed Sonic 2 as either just Sonic or just Tails because of this. Thank you for animating the trauma.
