Objective: Reach the Goal Ring before Sonic.
Windy Valley for Tails is a race against Sonic through a beautiful, wind-swept canyon. Your primary advantage is flight. Start by boosting forward and immediately take to the air to bypass the initial ground section. Look for updrafts and wind tunnels that can carry you long distances without depleting your flight gauge too quickly. The stage features several large fans; use them to gain significant altitude. Be mindful of the strong winds that can push you off course. There are often multiple paths, with aerial routes generally being faster for Tails. Use your tail whip to clear any enemies that get in your way. The stage has a memorable section where you're flying through a tornado-like vortex; maintain control and aim for the center to stay on track. Reaching the Goal Ring before Sonic requires efficient flight and smart navigation of the wind currents.
