Tails in Sonic the Hedgehog Bugfix

On June 8, 2007, Puto released an update to Tails in Sonic the Hedgehog, which featured several improvements over the original hack: bugfixes, a corrected palette, and Sonic 2-styled tired and swimming sprites. More bugfixes have been released since, and on 12/31/07, he released version 2.0, completely rewritten from scratch. Version 2.1 was released on 10/09/08 to no fanfare; its purpose was to fix some differences in Tails' flight behaviour, making it 100% identical to the flight behaviour used in Sonic 3. Version 2.1.1 was released on the next day to fix one more bug.
