Part 4/8:
Tails evolves significantly in this film, transitioning from a sidekick who seeks to exhibit heroism to one who plays an integral part in the team dynamic. His arc completes as he discovers his own sense of identity and strength. Meanwhile, Knuckles, having undergone personal growth through his series, emerges with a profound understanding of friendship and duty, viewing the world as a second home rather than a mere mission.
The chemistry between the trio—Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles—proves to be a driving force of the film. The juxtaposition of their individual arcs and collective experiences enriches the viewing experience.
