Tails and the Music Maker is an education game for the Sega Pico starring Miles "Tails" Prower, who uses this game to teach children about music. The object of the game is to learn scales, tempo, rhythm, and about instruments, and then match the music to the instruments. The player may also create their own music. This educational concept is similar to games like Sonic's Schoolhouse.
In Japan, it was released under the Hirameki Mirai Kids label as Unou Kaihatsu Series 7 Tails and the Music Maker (右脳開発シリーズ7 Tails and the Music Maker).
Contents
Gameplay
As with all Sega Pico games, the player uses the Magic Pen and directional buttons to solve different puzzles or play mini-games depending on the active Storyware page. In Tails and the Music Maker, there are six pages available.

Animated title screen. The main theme plays as black, red, and yellow notes float around Tails. Clicking on the black note will display the credits. | |
Page 2 | |
Green Hill Zone is very similar to its appearance in Sonic the Hedgehog (16-bit). There are waterfalls, chequered hills, and palmtrees in the background.
| |
Page 3 | |
Tails stands in front of a set of platforms that lead up to some sort of musical pinball machine as Dr. Eggman can be seen in his Egg Mobile in the background.
| |
Page 4 | |
Tails stands in front of a wall of music. Coyotes stand atop the nearby hill and howl if touched, and Eggman can be seen if the player knocks on the door.
| |
Page 5 | |
Tails stands on a large music keyboard. The keys are labelled and an image with lots of instruments can be seen. The player can change the tempo of the music.
| |
Page 6 | |
Tails and Sonic stand next to some trees. Clicking on Sonic will cause him to Spin Dash away and back.
