Following the climactic battle between Sonic and Dr. Robotnik, theSonic the Hedgehogmovie sees Sonic officially move in with his human friends.

In it, we see Sonic’s friend Tails appear on Earth, using some kind of tracker to find Sonic. “If these readings are accurate, he’s here. I found him! I just hope I’m not too late.” Tails then uses his tails to hover over the Montana wilderness in search of Sonic, setting up the plot of the potential sequel.
