Now you might be wondering, why not Tails & Sonic? I have a feeling homing attack may be essential in the game (again) so Tails may be at a huge disadvantage here.
To be honest, I think Tails flying would break most of the challenges in the game, like he did in the Classics. Having Sonic as the main playable character would mean he would have to finish the level, allowing more challenge, rather than Tails skipping other things and Sonic spawning next to him.
