Tails' Skypatrol was one of two Game Gear games to star Sonic's two-tailed buddy (though it originally wasn't meant to), featuring an interesting hybrid between platformer and shoot-em-up but unfortunately suffering from a frustratingly small field of view and being rather short at only 5 stages. It received pretty unfavorable reviews from Japanese critics, which might be the reason why Sega initially passed on localizing it (though it would later be included in Sonic Adventure DX: Director's Cut and several compilations thereafter).

Unused Graphics
| To do: Go back through the ROM with the sprite palette again to see if any other characters have unused frames. |
In the ROM, there appear to be two unused frames for Witchcart, suggesting that the animation for her defeat went through some changes. The unused frames seem a bit more exaggerated, and contrast with the used frames she has for the introduction and boss encounter.
Hold Up + 2 at the title screen and press Start. The menu title is a bit misleading, though, as it "only" contains a sound test and level select.
