Miles Prower (マイルス・パウアー Mairusu Pauā?), better known by his nickname Tails (テイルス Teirusu?), is a video game character in the Sonic the Hedgehog series of video games, comics, and animated cartoons released by Sega.
The name "Miles Prower" is a pun on "miles per hour", a reference to the famed speed of the Sonic the Hedgehog series. He is a young, male, golden-yellow, anthropomorphic fox with two tails (similar to the mythological kitsune, or "yoko", which was often depicted with up to nine), hence the nickname. He is able to use his two tails to propel himself into the air for a limited time. His debut was October 16, 1992, in the 8-bit version of Sonic the Hedgehog 2; the 16-bit version was released that November.

Metal Sonic (メタル ・ソニック Metaru Sonikku?) is the fictional "robotic counterpart" and a rival of video game character Sonic the Hedgehog. Being a robot, Metal Sonic has no gender; however, Metal Sonic is referred to as being male, since he is a robot based on a male character, as well as having seemingly masculine programming. According to official polls, Metal Sonic is the most popular villain in the series, and the second most wanted character for future appearances, beaten only by Shadow the Hedgehog, and requested in one part of the poll coming ninth in the top ten of which character people would want to have their own game. His appearances since the 16-bit games have mostly been reserved for big events, such as Sonic Heroes, where he is the main villain, or as a playable character with little or no part in the games' stories.
