Tails' life took a positive turn when he met [[Sonic the Hedgehog]], who had set up camp on West Side Island while adventuring. He idolized Sonic for his positive attitude, and followed him around the island when the hedgehog resolved to thwart [[Doctor Eggman]]'s plan to gather the seven Chaos Emeralds. He proved a valuable partner, helping Sonic reach Eggman's [[Death Egg]] and defeat the doctor there.<ref>{{Cite game |dev1 = [[Sega Technical Institute]] |date = 24 November 1992 |game = Sonic the Hedgehog 2 |system = Sega Mega Drive |pub = [[Sega]]}}</ref> Tails and Sonic subsequently ventured through [[Angel Island]], where the Death Egg had crash-landed, to destroy the space station. Although the heroes were repeatedly sabotaged by [[Knuckles the Echidna]], who was misled by Eggman into thinking they were evil, they eventually befriended him and destroyed the Death Egg for good.<ref>{{Cite game |dev1 = [[Sega Technical Institute]] |date = 2 February 1994 |game = Sonic the Hedgehog 3 |system = Sega Mega Drive |pub = [[Sega]]}}</ref><ref>{{Cite game |dev1 = [[Sega Technical Institute]] |date = 18 October 1994 |game = Sonic & Knuckles |system = Sega Mega Drive |pub = [[Sega]]}}</ref>

Tails continued to assist Sonic in subsequent adventures. The duo stopped Eggman from exploting the power of the [[Phantom Ruby]],<ref>{{Cite game |dev1 = [[Christian Whitehead]] |dev2 = [[Headcannon]] |dev3 = Pagoda West Games |date = 15 August 2017 |game = Sonic Mania |system = Nintendo Switch |pub = [[Sega]]}}</ref> faced a bounty hunter called [[Fang the Hunter]],<ref>{{Cite game |dev1 = [[Aspect]] |date = November 1994 |game = Sonic the Hedgehog Triple Trouble |system = Sega Game Gear |pub = [[Sega]]}}</ref> met older versions of themselves,<ref name="Generations">{{Cite game |dev1 = [[Sonic Team]] |date = 1 November 2011 |game = Sonic Generations |system = PC |pub = [[Sega]]}}</ref> and destroyed the doctor's [[Death Egg mk.II]],<ref>{{Cite game |dev1 = [[Sonic Team]] |dev2 = [[Dimps]] |date = 15 May 2012 |game = Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode II |system = PC |pub = [[Sega]]}}</ref> among many other conflicts. Every time, the heroes emerged victorious. Tails also embarked on a solo adventure at one point, facing a villain known as [[Witchcart]] who was enslaving the inhabitants of a remote island.<ref>{{Cite game |dev1 = SIMS |date = 28 April 1995 |game = Tails' Skypatrol |system = Sega Game Gear |pub = [[Sega]]}}</ref>

Eventually, Tails embroiled himself in a conflict surrounding [[Chaos]], a deity of destruction unleashed by Eggman for his plans. Despite initially accompanying Sonic, Tails got separated from him, leading to him realizing he could not always depend on him and had to become a hero on his own right. After reuniting with Sonic and helping him destroy Eggman's [[Egg Carrier]], Tails saved [[Station Square]] from a suicide attack from the doctor. He shortly after helped Sonic defeat Chaos after the creature rampaged through the city.<ref>{{Cite game |dev1 = [[Sonic Team]] |date = 9 September 1999 |game = Sonic Adventure |system = Dreamcast |pub = [[Sega]]}}</ref> A later incident saw Tails break Sonic out of [[Prison Island]] after the hedgehog had been framed as an escapee, forming a strong rivalry with Eggman in the events that followed.<ref>{{Cite game |dev1 = [[Sonic Team USA]] |date = 23 June 2001 |game = Sonic Adventure 2 |system = Dreamcast |pub = [[Sega]]}}</ref>

In a future adventure, Tails formed "[[Team Sonic]]" with Sonic and Knuckles and helped stop [[Neo Metal Sonic]], a transformed version of [[Metal Sonic]] that had taken over the Eggman Empire.<ref>{{Cite game |dev1 = [[Sonic Team USA]] |date = 6 January 2004 |game = Sonic Heroes |system = Nintendo GameCube |pub = [[Sega]]}}</ref> In other conflicts, he met and befriended [[Emerl]], who was later revealed to be an ancient weapon;<ref>{{Cite game |dev1 = [[Sonic Team]] |date = 5 January 2004 |game = Sonic Battle |system = Game Boy Advance |pub = [[Sega]]}}</ref> joined his friends in the war against the alien [[Black Arms]];<ref>{{Cite game |dev=[[Sega Studio USA]] |date=18 November  2005 |fullgame=[[Shadow the Hedgehog (game)|Shadow the Hedgehog]] |system=PlayStation 2 |pub=[[Sega]]}}</ref> joined Sonic in stopping Eggman's ancestor, [[Eggman Nega]], from destroying the world with the [[Ifrit]];<ref>{{Cite game |dev1 = Backbone Entertainment |dev2 = [[Sega Studio USA]] |date = 13 November 2007 |game = Sonic Rivals 2 |system = PlayStation Portable |pub = [[Sega]]}}</ref> helped the hedgehog restore the planet after Eggman had shattered it;<ref>{{Cite game |dev1 = [[Sonic Team]] |date = 18 November 2008 |game = Sonic Unleashed |system = Xbox 360 |pub = [[Sega]]}}</ref> and forged a rivalry with [[Wave the Swallow]], one of the [[Babylon Rogues]].<ref>{{Cite game |dev1 = [[Sega Studio USA]] |date = 21 February 2006 |game = Sonic Riders |system = Nintendo GameCube |pub = [[Sega]]}}</ref>

Tails would later join Sonic in freeing the alien [[Wisp]]s from Eggman's [[Egg Planet Park]].<ref>{{Cite game |dev1 = [[Sonic Team]] |date = 16 November 2010 |game = Sonic Colors |system = Wii |pub = [[Sega]]}}</ref> Subsequently, Tails and his friends celebrated [[Sonic's birthday]] until they were kidnapped by the [[Time Eater]], an entity that could manipulate spacetime. Trapped in [[White Space]], Tails and Sonic were joined by younger versions of themselves and eventually destroyed the Time Eater, revealed to be controlled by Eggman and his own younger self.<ref name="Generations" /> Tails and Sonic later traveled to the [[Lost Hex]], where they were forced to team up with Eggman to stop the inhabitants, the [[Deadly Six]], from destroying the world after the doctor lost control of them.<ref>{{Cite game |dev1 = [[Sonic Team]] |date = 29 October 2013 |game = Sonic Lost World |system = Wii U |pub = [[Sega]]}}</ref>

Tails would later help defend the [[City]] from an Eggman invasion, but was overwhelmed and called Sonic for backup. However, Sonic was defeated by [[Infinite]], Eggman's new right-hand man, who was powered by the [[Phantom Ruby]]. With Sonic being presumed dead, Tails went missing, devastated by the loss. Meanwhile, Eggman's army conquered the world, triggering the [[War to Take Back the Planet]] between the regime and Sonic's friends, who had formed the [[Resistance]]. After six months, things took a positive turn when Tails reunited with Classic Sonic, Sonic's past self, and later with Sonic himself. Tails then became an active member of the Resistance and assisted them in the war, ultimately overthrowing Eggman's empire.<ref>{{Cite game |dev1 = [[Sonic Team]] |date = 7 November 2017 |game = Sonic Forces |system = Nintendo Switch |pub = [[Sega]]}}</ref>

Most recently, Tails tracked unusual Chaos Emerald readings from the [[Starfall Islands]]<ref name="TailsTube3" /> and traveled there alongside Sonic, Knuckles and Amy. However, they were sucked into a wormhole that separated them. Tails later found himself in a [[digitized state]] due to being linked to the [[Cyber Space]] of the [[Ancients]], unable to interact with the physical world. He reunited with Sonic on [[Chaos Island]], and assisted him in his search across the island for the remaining Chaos Emeralds, using the opportunity to also confide with his friend regarding his reignited insecurities. Tails, alongside his other friends, was eventually freed from his non-physical state through Sonic's efforts, who also inadvertedly liberated a malevolent entity called [[The End]]. Once The End was ultimately destroyed, Tails reunited with his friends.<ref>{{Cite game |dev1 = [[Sonic Team]] |date = 8 November 2022 |game = Sonic Frontiers |system = PlayStation 4 |pub = [[Sega]]}}</ref>
