PLATFORM ADVENTURE
Tails Adventures/Tails Adventure (GG, 1995)
Subgenre: Similar to Quackshot
Other: Hub map with a "home base" menu screen, Submarine-based water levels (customizable sub)
Mostly linear structure (can't really go to lake crystal early on and the downward lake rocky path to coco island is very tough, you can go to caron forest before green island and besides that you can grab certain items in the order you want)
Quick travel to most previously visited areas, Can teleport back to base with a missable item found late in the game
Password save (average length)
No area maps
Can exit any level by going left in the beginning of it (can't exit a beaten level from anywhere in it though)
