The {{Nihongo|'''Tornado'''<ref name="Sonic22013Instructions">''[[Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (2013)|Sonic the Hedgehog 2]]'' ([[iOS]]) English instruction menu, "Story".</ref>|トルネード<ref name="S2JP"/>|Torunēdo}} is a vehicle that appears in the [[Sonic the Hedgehog series|''Sonic the Hedgehog'' series]]. It is [[Sonic the Hedgehog]]'s personal beloved<ref name="S2JP"/> and trusty biplane,<ref name="Sonic22013Instructions"/><ref>{{Cite book|title=ソニックジャム　オフィシャルガイド|publisher=SoftBank|date=2 October 1997|pages=101–102|isbn=978-4797303377|language=Japanese}}</ref> which he has owned since at least before the [[West Side Island]] [[Sonic the Hedgehog 2|incident]]. Despite this, he freely allows [[Miles "Tails" Prower|Tails]] to use the Tornado as his own plane, due to the sheer trust of his best friend. During their many adventures together, Sonic and Tails have used the Tornado as their main air transportation for long-distance travels around the world or high-altitude flights. Usually, Tails is the one piloting it while Sonic stands on its top wing, but vice versa events do happen.

The Tornado is involved in regular in-game [[Zone]]s usually set in [[Sky theme|the sky]]. It is known to be armed with projectile weapons such as machine guns and homing missiles. Having been shot down multiple times, the Tornado has been repaired or replaced with different variations of the biplane.

==Description==
===Appearance===
[[File:Tornado S2.png|thumb|left|225px|The Tornado's original design, from ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog 2]]''.]]
Early on, the Tornado was an old vintage biplane with a red fuselage and two grey main wings attached with a pair of poles on both sides. The red fuselage has a power plant with a grey tractor screw, small orange forward-pointing arrows close to cockpit, and the word "SONIC" written in white on both sides with stretchy F-letter labels underlining them. The cockpit has only one seat. Its empennage has two small horizontal stabilizers and one vertical stabilizer, the latter emblazoned with an emblem of a [[Bumper#Roundel|Bumper]] with wings. It also has three wheels, two under the lower main wing and one below the empennage. Occasionally, the Tornado has a custom booster engine<ref name="S2JP">''[[Sonic the Hedgehog 2]]'' ([[Sega Mega Drive]]) Japanese instruction booklet, pg. 44.</ref> on the bottom, which was tuned by Tails.<ref name="S2JP"/> This design has been reused in recent games, including ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode II]]'', ''[[Sonic Lost World]]'' and ''[[Sonic Runners]]'', although with small changes such as short red ends on the wings and a yellow three-headed tractor screw.

[[File:TornadoModel.jpg|thumb|225px|right|The redesigned Tornado, from ''[[Sonic Adventure]]''.]]
From ''[[Sonic Adventure]]'' onwards, the Tornado became more detailed with completely red wings and fuselage outlined with yellow and white lines. It also received a three-headed tractor screw and a black power plant. For this design, the cockpit has either one or two seats and a small windshield. Above the top wing and vertical stabilizer, the Tornado got emblazed with [[Miles "Tails" Prower|Tails]]' symbol, and behind the cockpit on the fuselage is the word "SONIC" written in white. The Tornado also got a small jet engine between the front wheels and machine guns on both sides of the fuselage.

===Features and abilities===
The Tornado's usual top speed is 450 kilometers per hour (about 280 mph), but with a custom booster engine tuned by Tails, it can exceed the speed of sound.<ref name="S2JP"/> As shown in ''[[Sonic & Knuckles]]'', the Tornado can also be fitted with a grappling tether for pulling larger objects behind it. In ''[[Sonic Adventure]]'', the Tornado was also outfitted with homing missiles and a machine gun. In ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode II]]'', the Tornado can also perform a maneuver named the [[Tornado Boost]] where it spins horizontally while boosting through obstacles.

===Specifications===
*Wingspan: 5.7m<ref name="Nav">{{Cite book|title=[[Sonic Adventure: Navigation Guide]]|language=Japanese|publisher=Softbank Creative|page=47|date=16 March 1999|isbn=978-4797308624}}</ref>

==Game appearances==
===''Sonic the Hedgehog CD''===
In ''[[Sonic Origins]]'', after saving [[Little Planet]] from [[Doctor Eggman|Robotnik]] and obtaining all the [[Time Stone]]s, Sonic revealed his biplane he bought, took off and passed over [[Amy Rose]], who waved goodbye to him while he was on his [[Sonic the Hedgehog 2|next adventure]]

The Tornado made another small appearance in ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog CD]]'', where Tails is seen piloting it in the background of [[Sound Test|D.A. Garden]]. The biplane is seen featured with other background characters and objects such as Dr. Robotnik in his escape pod, floating [[Metal Sonic]], flying [[Flicky|Flickies]] and [[UFO|Special Stage UFOs]].

===''Sonic the Hedgehog 2''===
The Tornado was first introduced to the series in ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog 2]]'', under the ownership of Sonic. In the game's Japanese storyline, Sonic flies in it as he was trying to find new adventures after defeating [[Doctor Eggman|Dr. Robotnik]]. He then discovers an island known as [[West Side Island]] and decides to land the plane there and relax. There, he also meets [[Miles "Tails" Prower|Tails]] for the first time.

[[File:Remember to grab those turtles, Tails.png|thumb|225px|[[Miles "Tails" Prower|Tails]] piloting the Tornado in [[Sky Chase Zone]], from ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog 2]]''.]]
In the game, the Tornado is featured prominently in [[Sky Chase Zone]]. The [[Zone]] consists of only one act with no boss to fight and the player can move the playable character on the top wing of the Tornado, piloted by Tails (or Sonic if playing as Tails). When the player moves forward, the Tornado follows him, but the player is able to fall off the biplane if they are moving too fast. When the player progresses to [[Wing Fortress Zone]], the Tornado gets shot down by lasers while pursuing Dr. Robotnik and his flying battleship. After Robotnik gets away with [[space rocket]], the Tornado rises up repaired and fitted with a custom booster engine. After reaching Robotnik's space rocket, the playable character jumps off the Tornado and hangs onto the rocket.

After the destruction of the [[Death Egg]], Tails flies the Tornado without the custom booster engine to rescue Sonic as he is plunged from the sky (or the other way around). In the regular ending, a [[Flicky]]/[[Cucky]] herd is flying behind the biplane, while a [[Locky]] herd appears in the good ending with Super Sonic flying alongside the biplane.

===''Sonic the Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles''===
[[File:Oddly it seem to work.gif|thumb|225px|left|The Tornado with its tether add-on, from ''[[Sonic & Knuckles]]''.]]
The Tornado was featured in ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog 3]]'' and the [[Lock-on technology|lock-on]] continuation ''[[Sonic & Knuckles]]'' sporting the custom booster engine from the previous game. In the beginning, Sonic and Tails are seen landing on [[Angel Island]] after detecting a large [[Chaos Emerald energy]] reaction on it. While Tails lands the Tornado, Sonic transforms into his [[Super Sonic|Super State]] and lands on the island himself. At the end of ''Sonic & Knuckles'', if the player hasn't collected all of the Chaos Emeralds, Tails is seen catching Sonic from the sky with the Tornado (or vice versa if Tails is played) without getting the [[Master Emerald]], which falls down to the ocean. When getting all of the Emeralds, the Master Emerald is caught using the Tornado's mechanical tether as the plane catches the respective character. Sonic and Tails then head to Angel Island and leave the Master Emerald on the island (where Knuckles soon later finds it), before continuing their journey to new distances.

In the ending of Knuckles' story, Sonic is seen saving Knuckles with the Tornado from the destruction of [[Sky Sanctuary Zone (Sonic & Knuckles)|Sky Sanctuary Zone]] after his duel with [[Super Mecha Sonic Mark II|Super Mecha Sonic Mk. II]]. If the player managed to obtain all of the seven Chaos Emeralds with Knuckles, it is shown that Knuckles lands on the Tornado while also holding the Master Emerald. If all of the [[Super Emeralds]] were obtained, Knuckles is in his [[Hyper Knuckles|Hyper form]] during this scene. After this, Sonic brings Knuckles and the Master Emerald to Angel Island and leaves the island, which starts flying up or down, depending on whether all of the Emeralds were collected or not.

===''Sonic Triple Trouble''===
The Tornado appeared on three [[Special Stage (Sonic Triple Trouble)|Special Stages]] in ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog Triple Trouble]]'', where Sonic or Tails has to pilot the biplane and collect a certain amount of [[Ring]]s in the sky in order to face [[Fang the Sniper]] and then collect one of five Chaos Emeralds. Sonic and Tails are also seen riding on Tornado towards the sunset in the game's end credits.

===''Knuckles' Chaotix''===
[[File:Sonic and Tails in Chaotix.gif|thumb|220px|In-game animation of the Tornado with [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]] and [[Miles "Tails" Prower|Tails]], from ''[[Knuckles' Chaotix]]''.]]
The Tornado had made a brief cameo appearance in ''[[Knuckles' Chaotix]]''. It appears only in the good ending and is shown in the background of the credit roll with Sonic on its wings and Tails as the pilot, hovering behind [[Knuckles the Echidna|Knuckles]] and his [[Team Chaotix|crew]].

===''Sonic the Fighters''===
The Tornado appears briefly during the opening demo of ''[[Sonic the Fighters]]'', as Sonic and Tails arrange the tournament to win the Chaos Emeralds in order to reach to the [[Death Egg II]] with the [[Lunar Fox]] shuttle.

===''Sonic Adventure''===
[[File:SA Tornado.png|thumb|left|225px|The Tornado ready to be launched, from ''[[Sonic Adventure]]''.]]
In ''[[Sonic Adventure]]'', its enhanced port ''[[Sonic Adventure DX: Director's Cut]]'', and the [[Sonic Adventure (2010)|2010 remaster]], the Tornado got an aesthetic redesign. When [[Doctor Eggman|Dr. Robotnik]] escaped in the [[Egg Carrier]], [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]] and [[Miles "Tails" Prower|Tails]] used the Tornado to pursue the villain.

In gameplay, the Tornado is used in [[Sky Chase]] Act 1. This Sub Game involves shooting down robotic planes with the aircraft's machine guns and homing missiles. After the Act is completed, the Egg Carrier fires a giant laser blast from its cannon, which blows off the plane's right wings, making it spin out of control and crash. As Sonic and Tails are separated, the latter decides to find a Chaos Emerald and build the [[Tornado 2]] to replace it. The original Tornado also seen in the [[Media:Tails SA Fin.png|post-credits image]] after clearing Tails' story, now fully repaired.

===''Sonic Advance''===
The Tornado's next appearance is in ''[[Sonic Advance]]''. Sonic (or Tails if playing as Sonic) would fly it catching the player after finishing a [[Special Stage (Sonic Advance)|Special Stage]] and after finishing the game with the normal ending without getting all Chaos Emeralds. After finishing [[The Moon Zone]], Tails is also seen piloting the Tornado later as he is searching Sonic and discovers Super Sonic flying back into the [[earth]]'s atmosphere.

===''Sonic Rivals''===
In ''[[Sonic Rivals]]'', although it is not known whether it was the Tornado or another variant of it, Tails used the Tornado to escort himself, Sonic and Knuckles to [[Meteor Base Zone]] to chase Dr. Eggman who fled there (who is actually [[Eggman Nega]] in disguise).

===''Sonic Rush Adventure''===
In the opening cutscene of ''[[Sonic Rush Adventure]]'', Tails and Sonic appear flying during a thunderstorm while searching for an anomaly. The Tornado appears to have been modified to fit two passengers, as Sonic sits behind Tails. The Tornado crashes after being hit by lightning and losing engine power, where it is then sucked into a cyclone and transported to the [[Sol Dimension]]. What happened to the Tornado afterwards is unknown, though it was presumably lost at sea following the storm.

===''Sonic the Hedgehog 4''===
[[File:K3PV8.jpg|thumb|225px|[[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]] and [[Miles "Tails" Prower|Tails]] landing in [[Sylvania Castle Zone]], from ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode II]]''.]]
In ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode II]]'' and ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode Metal|Episode Metal]]'', the Tornado has its original look from earlier games with few slight changes. In these games, the Tornado was used by [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]] and [[Miles "Tails" Prower|Tails]] as their means of transportation when they began investigating [[Doctor Eggman|Dr. Eggman]]'s latest activities on the neighboring continent.

During the ending of ''Episode Metal'', [[Metal Sonic]] notices Sonic and Tails flying away in the Tornado and takes [[Tails' rocket]] to follow them. This is followed up in the opening of ''Episode II'', where Sonic and Tails are landing in [[Sylvania Castle Zone]] Act 1 in the Tornado. The duo later used the biplane to chase down Eggman with his slightly damaged [[Egg Mobile]] at the beginning of [[Sky Fortress Zone]] Act 1 and during the boss act against [[Metal Sonic]] in the [[Metal Carrier]]. During the first and boss acts, the second player takes the control of the Tornado which can perform the [[Tornado Boost]] to break through wooden crate walls or attack the Metal Carrier. After the boss battle, Sonic and Tails again land on the Sky Fortress and start chasing after Eggman and Metal Sonic.

===''Sonic Lost World''===
[[File:Tornado_Shot_Down.png|thumb|225px|After being shot on the top wing, [[Miles "Tails" Prower|Tails]] pilots the Tornado to the [[Lost Hex]], from the [[Wii U]] version of ''[[Sonic Lost World]]''.]]
In the [[Wii U]] version, [[PC]] [[Sonic Lost World (PC)|version]] and [[Nintendo 3DS]] [[Sonic Lost World (Nintendo 3DS)|version]] of ''[[Sonic Lost World]]'', the Tornado returns with a slight redesign, appearing closer to its original incarnation while having sleeker edges. At the beginning of the game, [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]] and [[Miles "Tails" Prower|Tails]] used the Tornado to chase down [[Doctor Eggman|Dr. Eggman]] in the sky, who had a [[capsule]] full of imprisoned [[Animals]] attached to the [[Egg Mobile]]. After Eggman dropped the capsule and had Sonic and Tails chase after it, he shot the Tornado's top wing, causing them to land on the [[Lost Hex]].<ref>[[Sonic Team]] (29 October 2013).

[[File:HiddenWorld3.jpg|thumb|left|225px|The Tornado in [[Hidden World]] Zone 2, from the [[Wii U]] version of ''[[Sonic Lost World]]''.]]
In gameplay, the Tornado appears in [[Hidden World]] Zone 2, where the player can control the biplane with Tails piloting it and Sonic standing on the top wing. In this [[Zone]], the player has to collect [[Time Bonus]]es and [[Dash Ring]]s, and at the same time avoid getting hit by [[Badnik]]s or edges of the cloud tunnels. Getting hit once will make the player loses all [[Ring]]s and another will make the Tornado crash and Sonic will fall off into the clouds.

===''Sonic Mania''===
[[File:Heavy Magician MSZ A1 1.jpg|thumb|225px|The Tornado getting attacked by the [[Heavy Magician]], from ''[[Sonic Mania]]''.]]
In ''[[Sonic Mania]]'' and its expansion ''[[Sonic Mania Plus]]'', sometime after [[Angel Island]] was [[Sonic 3 & Knuckles|saved]] by [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]] and [[Miles "Tails" Prower|Tails]],<ref name="Infobooklet">{{Cite book |title=Sonic Mania Introduction Manual |publisher=[[Sega]] |author=[[Sega]] |chapter=Story So Far |page=1 |quote=Some time after saving Angel Island, Sonic the Hedgehog and his best friend, Miles "Tails" Prower, are relaxing when Tails picks up a strange energy reading far away. Though different from the Chaos Emeralds, the reading is remarkably powerful, and Tails convinces Sonic to join him to check it out. Sonic and Tails take off on the Tornado towards the source, but sure enough, the evil Dr. Eggman has detected it too! Now it's a race between Sonic and Eggman to get there first and figure out what mysteries it holds. However, Eggman has been busy: he's just unleashed a new team of elite Egg-Robos to handle his most important tasks. They're called the "Hard-Boiled Heavies," and they're about to reach the source of the signal first! It's up to Sonic, Tails, & their newest ally, Knuckles the Echidna, to defeat the Hard-Boiled Heavies, unlock the secrets of the energy source, and stop Dr. Eggman! }}</ref> the Tornado was used by the aforementioned duo to reach Angel Island in order to investigate an [[Phantom Ruby|energy source]]. They later employed it for chasing after [[Doctor Eggman]] in [[Mirage Saloon Zone]], accompanied by [[Knuckles the Echidna|Knuckles]]. However, Knuckles got knocked off the Tornado when the [[Heavy Magician]] intercepted them, leaving Sonic and Tails to continue their hazardous trip through the air alone. Not long after, the Tornado got shot down by the Heavy Magician.

====''Sonic Mania Adventures''====
[[File:SMA2-31.png|thumb|225px|left|[[Doctor Eggman|Dr. Eggman]] landing next to the Tornado, from "[[Sonic and Tails]]".]]
Brought to [[Angel Island]]'s beach, the Tornado received some repairs from [[Miles "Tails" Prower|Tails]], who managed to finish his work on it just as [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]] arrived. [[Doctor Eggman|Dr. Eggman]] later came across the hedgehog's plane while the heroes were elsewhere, and upon seeing it, the doctor got an evil idea.<ref name="SMAEP2">{{Cite episode |title=[[Sonic and Tails]] |series=[[Sonic Mania Adventures]] |season=1 |number=2 |first=Tyson |last=Hesse |network=[[Wikipedia:YouTube|YouTube]] |date=30 April 2018 }}</ref> Boarding the aircraft, the villain used it to escape with the [[Master Emerald]] after he stole it without [[Knuckles the Echidna|Knuckles]] seeing.

===''Sonic Frontiers''===
[[File:Tornado-Sonic-Frontiers.png|thumb|225px|left|[[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]], [[Miles "Tails" Prower|Tails]] and [[Amy Rose|Amy]] in Tornado, from ''[[Sonic Frontiers]]''.]]
In ''[[Sonic Frontiers]]'', the Tornado appears with a new design mostly resembling its previous one from ''[[Sonic Lost World]]'', but with an extra seat added behind the pilot's seat. At the beginning of the game, [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]] and [[Miles "Tails" Prower|Tails]] are setting their destination towards the [[Starfall Islands]] along with [[Amy Rose|Amy]] after being picked up separately on a isolated island, to find out the reason of [[Chaos Emerald]]s being drew to the location.<ref name="Convergence-Comic">''[[Sonic Frontiers Prologue: Convergence]]'', "Prologue: Convergence"</ref><ref name="Frontiers-Opening-Cutscene-I">{{Cite game|dev1=[[Sonic Team]]|date=8 November 2022|game=Sonic Frontiers|system=PlayStation 5|publisher=[[Sega]]|cutscene=Opening Cutscene|quote='''[[Miles "Tails" Prower|Tails]]''': We're coming up on the Starfall Islands. / '''[[Amy Rose|Amy]]''': How exciting! / '''[[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]]''': You tracked the Chaos Emeralds here, right?

At the end of the adventure, the biplane is seen being maintained by Tails and Amy along with [[Knuckles the Echidna|Knuckles]] in [[Kronos Island]] shortly after [[The End]]'s defeat. As Sonic notes his friends having big plans after their adventure, all four heroes take off with Tails piloting the Tornado to perform a somersault in the mid-air, leaving the Starfall Islands behind.<ref name="Post-Credits-Cutscene">{{Cite game|dev1=[[Sonic Team]]|date=8 November 2022|game=Sonic Frontiers|system=PlayStation 5|publisher=[[Sega]]|cutscene=Post-Credits Cutscene #1|quote='''[[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]]''': So... that was fun.

==Other game appearances==
===''Sonic the Hedgehog Pocket Adventure''===
[[File:PktAdv tornado.gif|left]]
In ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog Pocket Adventure]]'', the Tornado shares its appearance from ''Sonic Adventure''. Sonic lands on to the Tornado's wing after Knuckles launches him up there from the [[Aquatic Relix Zone]]. In this game, the Tornado is featured in the [[Sky Chase Zone (Sonic the Hedgehog Pocket Adventure)|Sky Chase Zone]] where it serves the same as it did in [[Sky Chase Zone]] in ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog 2]]''.

After clearing the final boss of [[Last Utopia Zone]], Tails saves Sonic with the Tornado after he falls down in the game's normal ending. In the extra ending, Sonic lands on the Tornado after clearing [[Chaotic Space Zone]]. The Chaos Emeralds will then appear around Sonic before dispersing.

===''Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood''===
In ''[[Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood]]'', Sonic and his party use the Tornado to get around the world during the [[Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood Chapter 1|first]] [[Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood Chapter 2|four]] [[Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood Chapter 3|chapters]] [[Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood Chapter 4|of the game]]. It is also seen in the opening cutscene after the heroes defeated Eggman and escaped from the destroyed [[Egg Carrier]].

===''Sonic Runners'' series===
====''Sonic Runners''====
[[File:Tornado SR-0.png|thumb|150px|right|The RC Tornado, from ''[[Sonic Runners]]''.]]
In ''[[Sonic Runners]]'', the Tornado makes an appearance as an S Rare [[Fly Type]] [[Buddy]] called the '''RC Tornado'''. It is one of the smaller [[RC Vehicle]]s that are available on the Premium Roulette. When the player gets hurt, the RC Tornado restores up to 1200 [[Ring]]s and 1250 for the Fly Type character.

====''Sonic Runners Adventure''====
The ''[[Sonic Runners Adventure]]'', the Tornado once again appeared as a [[RC Vehicle]] referred to as the '''RC Tornado'''. The RC Tornado can fly ahead for the next ten seconds, collecting Rings if the player's character is defeated. It does not work in boss battles. The RC Tornado can be bought for 2,500 Rings.

===''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020''===
[[File:BuzzBomberM&S6.png|thumb|225px|right|The Tornado in the "Tokyo Sky Flight" mini game, from ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020]]''.]]
In the [[Nintendo Switch]] version of ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020]]'', while stuck inside the Tokyo '64 gaming system, [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]] and [[Mario]] used a native version of the Tornado to reach the top of the Tokyo Tower and claim a Miracle Roll. Along the way, they used the Tornado to fight their way through an army of [[Badnik]]s and [[Doctor Eggman|Dr. Eggman]] himself.

In this game, the Tornado only appears during the "Tokyo Sky Flight" mini game, where it possesses a design based on its sprite appearance from earlier games in the ''Sonic'' series. Here, it is piloted by Mario while Sonic stands on the wings, and is used to combat the onslaught of Badniks and bosses. In gameplay, the Tornado can take five hits before being defeated. The number of hits it got left is indicated by the hearts in the upper left corner of the screen. Should the Tornado lose all its hearts, the player will fail the mini game. The player can steer the Tornado with the Control Stick and fire the Tornado's gunshots with {{A Button (Switch)}}. Holding {{A Button (Switch)}} lets the player charge a powerful shot that can shoot through multiple Badniks. In addition, pressing {{B Button (Switch)}} lets the Tornado perform a shockwave-generating loop. The shockwave from the loop will destroy incoming bullets and allow the player to maneuver quickly through the air. The loop's shockwave can also stun certain enemies momentarily and blow away the [[Bumper]] shields used by several enemies.

===''Sonic Speed Simulator''===
In ''[[Sonic Speed Simulator]]'', the Tornado possesses its original design. In this game, it appears during the "Birthday Bash [[Sonic Speed Simulator|Event]]!", where it can usually be found parked near the starting point in [[Green Hill (Sonic Speed Simulator)|Green Hill]]. Next to the Tornado is also an upside-down light blue and white fuel tank-based cone that is called "Tornado Fuel". This tank fills up for each [[Sky Ring]] that the players in the game collect from Green Hill. Once a total of one hundred Sky Rings have been collected, the player is given a notification that [[Miles "Tails" Prower|Tails]] has taken the Tornado for a flight. Tails can then be seen flying the Tornado around Green Hill for a while, occasionally dropping [[Ring]]s for the player to collect. Afterwards, the Tornado will return to its landing point in Green Hill to refuel, which the player is then given a notification for. To make the Tornado fly again, another one hundred Sky Rings must be collected.

==Variants==
===Unnamed plane===
[[File:Veg-O-Fortress.png|thumb|225px|left|[[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]] and [[Miles "Tails" Prower|Tails]] flying in front of the [[Veg-O-Fortress]], from ''[[Sonic Spinball]]''.]]
An unnamed blue and red floatplane with a pusher configuration appears in ''[[Sonic Spinball]]''. In the opening cutscene, Sonic is shown riding on the wing as usual when the plane is shot down, depositing him into the waters outside [[Toxic Caves]]. Later, in the game's ending, Tails saves Sonic as he falls from the sky, while Dr. Robotnik falls to the remains of the destroyed [[Veg-O-Fortress]].

In the 8-bit [[Sonic Spinball (8-bit)|version]] of ''Sonic Spinball'', the plane has another different design. Instead of a floatplane, it is a regular monoplane with a tractor configuration, it is predominantly silver and has the letter "S" emblazoned on the vertical stabilizer. In the opening, Sonic hangs from the plane's bottom rope as he infiltrates the fortress.

===Prototype===
{{Main|Prototype (Biplane)}}
[[File:Tails'-Prototype-Plane-Sonic-Adventure.png|thumb|The prototype model piloted by [[Miles "Tails" Prower|Tails]], from ''[[Sonic Adventure]]''.]]
The '''Prototype''' of the [[Tornado 2]] appeared early on in both [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]] and [[Miles "Tails" Prower|Tails]]' stories in ''[[Sonic Adventure]]''. The model looks nearly identical to the Tornado, but with a gray color scheme. Prior the events of the game, the prototype model was the latest aircraft built by Tails.<ref>''[[Sonic Adventure]]'' ([[Dreamcast]]) United States instruction booklet, pg. 20.</ref> After discovering a [[Chaos Emerald]], Tails decided to use it as the power source for the prototype's propulsion system during a test run.<ref>[[Sonic Team]] (9 September 1999). ''[[Sonic Adventure]]''. [[Dreamcast]]. [[Sega]]. Area/Level: [[Station Square (Sonic Adventure)|Station Square]] ([[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]]'s story). "'''[[Miles "Tails" Prower|Tails]]''': That was a test run using a new prototype propulsion system. It's got a few bugs to iron out."</ref><ref>[[Sonic Team]] (9 September 1999). ''[[Sonic Adventure]]''. [[Dreamcast]]. [[Sega]]. Area/Level: [[Station Square (Sonic Adventure)|Station Square]] ([[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]]'s story). "'''[[Miles "Tails" Prower|Tails]]''': Yep! I just happened to find one of the 7 Emeralds during one of my test flights. This thing has unlimited powers, ya know... So I figured, why not use it to power my plane."</ref> However, the Chaos Emerald proved to not be fully compatible with the prototype model.<ref>[[Sonic Team]] (9 September 1999). ''[[Sonic Adventure]]''. [[Dreamcast]]. [[Sega]]. Area/Level: [[Station Square (Sonic Adventure)|Station Square]] ([[Miles "Tails" Prower|Tails]]' story). "'''[[Miles "Tails" Prower|Tails]]''': Yeah, it's just that I'm testing a new prototype power supply and it's not fully compatible yet!"</ref> As such, Tails lost control of the prototype model and crashed in [[Emerald Coast]]. Tails later finished the prototype after discovering another Chaos Emerald in [[Sand Hill]], and he nicknamed the plane the "[[Tornado 2]]".<ref>[[Sonic Team]] (9 September 1999). ''[[Sonic Adventure]]''. [[Dreamcast]]. [[Sega]]. Area/Level: [[Mystic Ruins (Sonic Adventure)|Mystic Ruins]] ([[Miles "Tails" Prower|Tails]]' story). "'''[[Miles "Tails" Prower|Tails]]''': The Tornado's not powerful enough. If I'm gonna get that Egg Carrier, I need to finish my prototype. It needs a Chaos Emerald to work! Looks like I'd better find one, fast!"</ref><ref>[[Sonic Team]] (9 September 1999). ''[[Sonic Adventure]]''. [[Dreamcast]]. [[Sega]]. Area/Level: [[Mystic Ruins (Sonic Adventure)|Mystic Ruins]] ([[Miles "Tails" Prower|Tails]]' story). "'''[[Miles "Tails" Prower|Tails]]''': Weird! Now, where was I? Oh yeah! The Chaos Emerald... Perfect! This will get my Tornado 2 up and rarin' to go!"</ref>

During the first playthrough of Sonic's version of Emerald Coast, the crash site of the prototype model serves as the [[Goal]]. In subsequent playthroughs and [[Time Attack|Trial mode]], however, the prototype model is replaced with a [[Capsule]].

===Tornado 2 ===
{{Main|Tornado 2}}
[[File:Tornado2Model.jpg|thumb|left|The Tornado 2, from ''[[Sonic Adventure]]''.]]
During ''[[Sonic Adventure]]'', the Tornado gets shot down by the laser cannon of Dr. Eggman's [[Egg Carrier]]. After this accident, Tails headed back to [[Tails' Lab|his workshop]] and finishes the construction of his new blue-tinted experimental biplane, the '''Tornado 2'''. Unlike the original Tornado, it required a [[Chaos Emerald]] to function. Tornado 2 has been also capable of folding its wings into an X-shape to reach extreme speeds.

The Tornado 2 has been frequently used and has made later appearances in ''[[Sonic Heroes]]'', ''[[Sonic Advance 3]]'' and ''[[Sonic Riders]]''.

===Cyclone/Tornado 3===
{{Main|Cyclone}}
[[File:Sa2btailsw.png|thumb|150px|right|[[Miles "Tails" Prower|Tails]] in the Cyclone, from ''[[Sonic Adventure 2]]''.]]
By ''[[Sonic Adventure 2]]'', [[Miles "Tails" Prower|Tails]] had built the '''Tornado 3''', which he primarily dubbed the "'''Cyclone'''." Unlike the previous Tornadoes, it is a monoplane and carries a large missile launcher behind the single seat. In addition to its default plane setting, the Cyclone can also transform into either a battle-ready mech walker or a car. The walker was Tails' main mode of transportation and offense in the game.

The Cyclone made minor appearances in ''[[Shadow the Hedgehog (game)|Shadow the Hedgehog]]''.

===Tornado-1===
{{Main|Tornado-1}}
[[File:Tornado.png|thumb|left|The Tornado-1, from ''[[Sonic Unleashed]]''.]]
In ''[[Sonic Unleashed]]'', Tails volunteers the use of his '''Tornado-1''' for the team's transportation. Not to be confused with the first Tornado, it is a completely new construction with a more notably streamlined and futuristic design. "Tornado 03" can be found inscribed near the rear, when the plane transforms during both of the [[Tornado Defense]] Acts of the Xbox 360/PlayStation 3 version. The Tornado-1 also combines features of previous Tornado incarnations: the red paint job and outward construction of the original Tornado, the ability to transform into an X-shape like the Tornado 2, and the homing missiles found on the Cyclone.

===Tornado Racer===
{{Main|Tornado Racer}}
[[File:AllStarsRacingTails.jpg|thumb|[[Miles "Tails" Prower|Tails]] in the Tornado Racer, from ''[[Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing]]''.]]
In ''[[Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing]]'', Tails has built a now land-based iteration of the Tornado series called the "'''Tornado Racer"''', capable of making fast turns with its short wing span. It was built with parts found after an attempted invasion by Dr. Eggman, and has a special move called the Tails Tornado capable of removing other vehicles and items on the path in front of him by summoning a miniature cyclone.

The Tornado Racer's engine output most likely was limited on purpose by Tails as if it were faster it would take off like a normal plane seeing as it already has enough speed to hover over the ground. This theory is further evidenced by the fact that when it gets launched off of a hill, it has a very slow descent suggesting its capabilities of flight. During Tails' Tornado, the Tornado Racer flies in the air along with the tornado that the technique creates.

===Animation===
====''Sonic the Hedgehog: The Movie''====
{{Main|Tornado (Sonic the Hedgehog: The Movie)}}
[[File:Tornado_Sonic_the_Hedgehog_the_Movie.png|thumb|left|225px|The Tornado, from ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog: The Movie]]''.]]
In ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog: The Movie]]'', the Tornado has the same design as its game counterpart in the early games in the ''Sonic'' series. In this media, it is [[Sonic the Hedgehog (OVA)|Sonic]] and [[Miles "Tails" Prower (OVA)|Tails]] main transportation across the unique surface of [[Planet Freedom]].

The Tornado was used by Sonic and Tails to enter the [[Land of Darkness]], although it got damaged in the process. Tails and [[Knuckles the Echidna (OVA)|Knuckles]] later got it back to home, where it was repaired and used to go to the North Pole where was destroyed by a missile from the [[Egg Mobile (OVA)|Egg Mobile]].

====''Sonic X''====
{{Main|Tornado 2 (Sonic X)}}
[[File:Sonic X Tornado.jpg|thumb|225px|The original Tornado, from "[[The Dam Scam]]".]]
In the ''[[Sonic X]]'' anime series, the Tornado was a biplane that originally belonged to [[Sonic the Hedgehog (Sonic X)|Sonic]]. The vehicle was later found by [[Miles "Tails" Prower (Sonic X)|Tails]], who started tinkering with it and making some improvements. When Sonic later found painting his plane, he was pleased with the work and replied that he liked the new color. The duo would later go on to make use of the [[Tornado 2 (Sonic X)|Tornado 2]], which was later replaced with the [[X Tornado]]. 

====''Sonic Boom''====
{{Main|Tornado (Sonic Boom)}}
[[File:Tornado Sonic Boom Profile.png|225px|thumb|[[Miles "Tails" Prower (Sonic Boom)|Tails]] piloting the Tornado, from "[[The Sidekick]]."|left]]
In the ''[[Sonic Boom (series)|Sonic Boom]]'' series, the Tornado is a plane-like and futuristic vehicle created by a long-lost civilization known as the [[Ancients (Sonic Boom)|Ancients]]. In this media though, it bears a stronger resemblance to the [[Tornado 2]].

After being abandoned for about a millennium, the Tornado was found by [[Team Sonic (Sonic Boom)|Team Sonic]] who used it during their adventure to stop [[Lyric the Last Ancient]]. However, the Tornado was seemingly lost when it sank into a frozen lake during a battle with [[Doctor Eggman (Sonic Boom)|Dr. Eggman]]'s [[Burnbot]].

===Sonic Prime===

[[File:Tornado_STC_v2.png|thumb|225px|left|thumb|The Tornado, from [[Sonic the Comic Issue 178|''Sonic the Comic'' #178]]. Art by [[Richard Elson]].]]
In the ''[[Sonic the Comic]]'' series published by [[Fleetway Editions]], the Tornado resembled its game counterpart for much of the comic's run until it adopted a color scheme akin to the [[Tornado 2]] during the comic's adaptation of ''[[Sonic Adventure]]''.

In this media, the Tornado served mostly as the [[Freedom Fighters (Sonic the Comic)|Freedom Fighters]]' personal means of transport to the farthest corners of [[Mobius (Sonic the Comic)|Mobius]], but was equipped with no armaments and few tools.

====Archie Comics====
{{main|Tornado (Archie)|Tornado (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)}}
[[File:Post-SGW Archie Tornado.jpg|thumb|225px|The Tornado, from [[Archie Sonic the Hedgehog Issue 258|''Sonic the Hedgehog'' #258]].]]
In the ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (comics)|Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' comic series and its spin-offs published by [[Archie Comics]], the Tornado originally resembled the [[Tornado 2]], but would later come to resemble its game counterpart after reality was rebooted by the [[Super Genesis Wave]].

An agile biplane, the Tornado was perhaps the most famous of the [[Knothole Freedom Fighters]]' vehicles. [[Miles "Tails" Prower (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Tails]] took the position of the pilot, maintaining his place since the earliest versions of the Tornado. Armed with short range homing missiles, twin blasters and a massive thrust engine, it could take on even the fighters of the [[Guardian Units of the Nation (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|G.U.N.]] air force. Throughout the series, the Tornado went through many iterations.

After the Super Genesis Wave reset the [[Multiverse (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|multiverse]], the Tornado became virtually identical to its game counterpart, although it remains a primary vehicle in the [[Freedom Fighters (Kingdom of Acorn)|Freedom Fighters]]' air force.

[[File:SonicMovie2 Tornado.png|thumb|225px|[[Sonic the Hedgehog (Paramount)|Sonic]] and [[Miles "Tails" Prower (Paramount)|Tails]] in the Tornado, from [[Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (film)|''Sonic the Hedgehog 2'' (film)]].]]
In the ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (film series)|Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' film series produced by [[Paramount Pictures]], the Tornado is a biplane used by [[Sonic the Hedgehog (Paramount)|Sonic the Hedgehog]] and [[Miles "Tails" Prower (Paramount)|Miles "Tails" Prower]].

==Trivia==
*In real life, there have been several aircraft with the name "Tornado": a variable wing fighter/bomber/electronic warfare aircraft series called the [[Wikipedia:Panavia Tornado|Panavia Tornado]], two World War II-era fighter prototypes called the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawker_Tornado Hawker Tornado] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vultee_XP-68_Tornado XP-68 Tornado], and an early jet bomber called the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_B-45_Tornado B-45 Tornado].
**The original Tornado's design does not seem to come from a specific aircraft; however, following its redesign from ''Sonic Adventure'' onwards, the Tornado 2 bears a striking resemblance to the Polikarpov I-153, a 1930s Soviet biplane fighter.
[[File:Possible_inspiration_of_Tornado_in_Sonic_manga.png|thumb|[[Paulie]]'s biplane, from the ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (manga)|Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' serialized manga.]] 
*In the ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (manga)|Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' serialized manga published by [[Shogakukan]], [[Nicky]]'s father, [[Paulie]], who is a qualified pilot for the air mail, pilots a red biplane similar to the Tornado. Unlike the Tornado, Paulie's aircraft is also a seaplane.
*The Tornado was originally intended to transform into an aircraft resembling a fighter jet at the end of [[Wing Fortress Zone]] to chase Dr. Robotnik's rocket. Due to time constraints and size limitations, the transformation was scrapped, and as a last resort a custom booster engine was attached to the underside of the plane instead.<ref>https://twitter.com/judy_totoya/status/1595485844957442049</ref>
*When the Tornado appears at the end of Wing Fortress Zone in ''Sonic the Hedgehog 2'', it has a custom booster engine attached to the underside, but this engine is gone in the game's cinematic ending. The engine is then back at the beginning of ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog 3]]'', and it reappears consistently in ''[[Sonic & Knuckles]]'' and ''[[Knuckles' Chaotix]]''. However, it is not seen again in ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode II]]''.
[[File:Chaotixtailsplane.gif|thumb|One of the unused sprites for the Tornado from ''[[Knuckles' Chaotix]]''.]]
*In ''Knuckles' Chaotix'', unused in-game sprites of Tails piloting Tornado exist in the game's code.
*At the end of ''Sonic & Knuckles'', the Tornado is shown with "SONIC" written in reverse due to it facing the opposite way it usually is. This is because the sprite is simply flipped horizontally, instead of entirely new sprite being created. This was fixed in ''[[Sonic Origins]]''.
*"Wing walking" is an actual stunt that is historically associated with biplanes.
*In the [[Archie Comics]] series, the Tornado 2 appears in the ''[[Sonic Rush Adventure]]'' comic adaption, while the game version features the original red Tornado.
*In ''[[Sonic Lost World]]'', Tails is seen fixing the propeller of Tornado, even though before Dr. Eggman is seen shooting the top wing of the biplane.<ref name="fixing" /> Although it is possible that the propeller was damaged when the plane crash-landed.
*When piloting the Tornado in ''[[Sonic Mania]]'', Tails is shown to be wearing a helmet, which looks very similar to the one he wore in ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog: The Movie]]''.
**When Sonic is shown to pilot the Tornado, he is also seen wearing goggles which look like the [[:File:GoggleSonic.gif|ones he was supposed to wear]] from the original ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (1991)|Sonic the Hedgehog]]''.
*A LEGO version of the Tornado appears in the [[Sonic the Hedgehog Level Pack (Lego Dimensions)|''Sonic the Hedgehog'' Level Pack]] in ''[[Wikipedia:LEGO Dimensions|LEGO Dimensions]]''. Its appearance is based on its design in ''Sonic Adventure''. Upgrading it changes its design to the Tornado Racer, Tornado-2, and the Tornado used in the Genesis games.
*The LEGO model, found in the Tails' Workshop and Tornado Plane LEGO set, resembles its design from ''Sonic Lost World'' the most.
