Welcome to Tailwinds, a Pilotwings-inspired mod for Sonic Robo Blast 2,
featuring a plot loosely based on the little-known Chuck Yeager origin story.

Play through 26 missions in this 1-2 hour mod.


🪽🪽🪽

IMPORTANT!​

Youl'll need to change a few settings:
  • Turn the Nights hoop draw distance to infinite or high​
  • Turn on the crosshair. This will help you land in certain levels. The crosshair will display as footprints when you're looking downward in first person.​
  • Set graphics mode to OpenGL. Software mode is not supported.
  • Optionally, download the high-contrast addon for black and white hoops​

This is a fictional fan game. Similarities to real life people,
places, and events are coincidental. Sonic characters belong to SEGA.

You can reuse any of the maps in this mod without asking.

You can use the Lua code, which is mostly made up of edited open assets. However, unless you plan to mod Tailwinds itself and add new content, you'll be better off using and citing the original open assets listed in the credits.

Use any images, music, and media according to their original sources as seen in the credits.

If you're not sure about a particular asset, feel free to DM me.
