Arguably Tails has regressed since his appearance in the Simon Wai prototype. Tails continues to have no discernible AI, simply copying the player's movements with a delay. That is to say, unlike the final game he doesn't follow Sonic at all.

Unlike the Simon Wai prototype, this alpha build does not keep trying to return Tails to Sonic's position. While this means he won't keep dropping out of the sky, he is likely to get stuck somewhere at the beginning of the stage and never be seen again. Some circumstances will see Tails re-appear, but it's not common.

Tails still loses rings on behalf of Sonic. So if he gets stuck in an area lined with hazards, the ring counter will keep returning to 0, leaving Sonic vulnerable unless the second control pad is used.
