This quote is from Sonic in Sonic Frontiers. It is from a conversation between Sonic and Tails. Tails rarely fights his own battles. Sonic is a great mentor for him and provides sage advice. This is something you may want to tell your children as they are struggling with gaming or with life. You may sometimes need help–and that may require two-player! After all, teamwork makes the dream work, as they say.
