(or Tails Adventures if you're playing the Japanese version, both grammatically incorrect)

Tails Adventures is a prequel to Sonic 2, the story happens before Tails met Sonic.

Japanese Story

In the southern Pacific, there exists a tiny island that cannot be found on any map: Cocoa Island, a beautiful little paradise that rests atop a coral reef. It's said that the legendary Chaos Emeralds rest here... And so did the hero of our story, once upon a time before he met his speedy blue idol. The following events take place prior to Tails' first encounter with Sonic:

It's a sunny afternoon on Cocoa Island, and Miles Prower is taking a nap just outside his research lab, Tails House. His slumber is interrupted by a huge explosion, and before Tails can say "stop, drop, and roll" the whole place is ablaze. A frantic Flicky bird reports the bad news to a confused Tails: the imperial Battle Kukku army has invaded Cocoa Island. The dictator Great Battle Kukku 15th has discovered the Chaos Emeralds on the island, and intends to use them to conquer the entire world (clever, that). Tails is the only one who can put a stop to the imperial army, but he has never faced this kind of danger before... is he up to it?

The European, US and Japanese games are the same, but the story changes for the EU/US version.

EU/US Story

The Fortress Attacks!

Welcome to Tails Island, Tails' favorite holiday spot. Sonic and Tails have temporarily parted for a little vacation time. Even heroes need some time off now and then, and at this moment Tials is enjoying a rest in the woods.

But the peace doesn't last long. There is a great noise, and the woods are suddenly ablaze! Tails sees a flying fortress lowering on the horizon, launching attacks against the island. Who could be landing such an attack on this harmless place?

There is no time for guessing. As Tails, you must fight the bird forces and stop the Battle Fortress from taking complete control of the island. On land, in the air, and at sea, you'll be battling some pretty tough birds! Several useful items are scattered throughout the island which you will need in your adventures. The animals of the island are counting on you!

The Game

The game itself is a mish-mash of RPG and platforming elements. Also surprisingly for a Sonic spinoff game, it's actually pretty good. In fact it's considered to be one of the best Sonic Games on the Game Gear.

It was released towards the end of 1995 on the Game Gear. The Master System never saw another Sonic game after Sonic Chaos (although Blast was unofficially ported in Brazil). It is the only Tails game to be released World-wide.
