Sonic The Hedgehog Movie: How It Sets Up A Sequel

5. The Appearance Of 'Tails'

Of all the story arcs that were set up for potential use in the sequel, the arrival of Miles 'Tails' Prower in a mid-credit sequence is one that will clearly be taken up. The two-tailed fox is seen scampering throughout Green Hills in pursuit of Sonic, a task that sounded like it needed to be carried out with great urgency.

There are endless possibilities with this story arc, but again a great deal will depend on the budget as to how this is executed. Adventures with Crazy Carl (see the third entry on this list) would be great to see, but an epic team up with Sonic to take down an evil Dr Robotnik seems the most likely plot arc.

The world jumping which was briefly explored at the start of the film is also open for more exploration with the arrival of Tails, with a more detailed story regarding Sonic's home world and upbringing. This plot point is likely to tie in to themes of family, but more on that later.
