We've done TONS of research on Sonic's speed over the years. From how fast he REALLY is to if he can even survive his own speed - we've covered it all! Well, that's only partially true. Until now we've only turned our Theorist eyes towards the blue hedgehog. That ends today! Enter Tails, the lovable fox sidekick. He's famous for helicoptering his way around with his, you guessed it, tails. What I wanted to know was whether or not Tails SHOULD actually be able to fly. Today Theorists, we are going to find out if this fox is flying high or about to crash and burn!

Tails now: "I have an IQ of 300 and have fixed a super computer with dishwashing detergent and a toothpick."
Tails in Sonic the hedgehog 2 (1992) : "Hmm... I'll just walk right off this platform and fall into the abyss, what could go wrong?"
That was an experiment, and him learning from that (plus his apparent immortality) is what made him so smart
(I genuinely think he's a kitsune because of the amount he's survived the abyss)
These thumbnails be so cheesy
"I'm falling"

*What's next, building a rocket ship out of a piece of pizza and a battery?*
@@mileymint Of course not, That’d be ridiculous!
That was last month’s project
Kind of ironic for a character who is theoretically supposed to be a flying pinball but can balance himself *owns a machine* that is aerodynamically perfect but crashes it all the time.
VTAnimation So much for 300 IQ
Not really. Tails is an ENGINEER, not a PILOT. Despite what media would tell you, those are two different skills, to say nothing of the fact that helicopters fly completely different from planes. Assuming that an airplane engineer is also capable of being a top pilot simply because they build the machine is like assuming that someone who designs Hondas is automatically qualified to also be a NASCAR driver.
a machine with an engine powered by chaos emerald.
wait...
THATS WHY TAILS CANT FLY HIS PLANE CUZ HES TO USED TO THE AERODYNAMICS OF HIS TAILS AND NOT THE AERODYNAMICS OF AN AIRPLANE THE TWOS PHYSICS R COMPLETELY DIFFERENT
InsideJoke That's completely irrelevant. From the games, it's completely clear that the planes crash not from bad piloting, but from the planes malfunctioning in mid-air, which is a consequence of bad engineering.
Matpat: "he's missing another set of tails"
Sonic Prime: "We gave tails a new look"
Tails: "they gave me 7 extra tails"
Haha😐
What
Wht
What the king fuuuu
I peted tails two tails :))))
Using the logic of, “He needs to rotors” Nine from sonic prime could fly better, due to having two tails, and a set of seven robotic tails.
I think he moves his tails back and forth in a repeating matter. So, question solved, boom! MIKE DROP!
"At least he's got his tails,OR DOES HE?" *plop* Then.. tails says "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"
#getmattpatsponsoredbycoke :3
WHAT THE hey Matt pat im in school so haha 😂 also you make me smart
4:30 if you pause the video you'll see that the Tails attached to the helicopter instead of two tails there's three
The salad fingers have returned. Eleven is the number.
He knows about it
What about the tails actually spinning in the oposite direction
0_0.....Yesss....going past each other like gear teeth...I think you're so right.
Thank you. That makes so much sense.
@@observingrogue7652I fought it was pretty clear in the beginning of the episode that Tails' tails are magical and dont get stuck whilst flying.
What you are meaning and MatPat missed is that intermeshing rotor helicopters exist and are flying since 1939.
@@vitodito5778
Nooo. MatPat was treating Tails' tails, like they are spinning together, like a single, 2 bladed rotor, spinning in one direction.
What C Vermaes got me thinking about is, what if each tail, is like some artsy single blade ceiling fan I've seen before. Only his tails are like 2 of those single blade fans, very close to each other, with their spinning areas overlapping, spinning in opposite directions, just missing each other.
I think that's how Tails is doing it. He can also be bending his tails, when they are about to swing into the space between them, so they can be closer together, but have them more extended, in other parts of the arc.
So his tails look like they are spinning in a perfect circle, together. But what if he is really whipping them around, in 2 overlapping half circles, in opposite directions?
And the orbits of the tail tips, look more like the side profile of a hamburger bun, or a droplet on a surface, instead of a perfect half circle.
How is Rayman able to Helicopter/Fly around?

So, in a way, he has whatwever "blades" he wants to have
Magic...? Maybe...?

next sonic theory: knuckles "knuckles" are broken

Josiah Whaler no pretty sure it’s going to be
Sonic theory: egg mans little eggs down below are scrambled
Problems with mats theory
- assumes mobius is earth
-assumes tails can magically spin (not a problem it just counteracts his point about spinning the opposite direction)
- talks about how drones have two / four / 6 / 8 rotors to counteract the spinning in the opposite way
Since tails already has magical tails that spin, is it such a stretch to think one goes the other way?
That's actually an interesting theory! would love hear a theory about that
And knuckles.
@@elijahspitze9837 lol thats nasty 🍆🥚🥚
Tail's tail is actually possible when the left one spins the opposite way of the right one, it won't tangle. This also means he don't need another tail blade to keep him from spinning out like a helicopter would.
That's what i was thinking
That's what i was thinking
I still don’t get it because im dumb
@@Incepter. one tail spins clockwise, another spins counter clockwise, it won't tangle because of reasons
@@rizkiyoist but it does tangle tho?im imagining it in my head
Nice theory.
Now do Shadow's shoes, I want me some rocket skate shoe things.
Yees.
Sounds like a SCIENCE! episode in the making.
Well explain when a helicopter loses it's tail it can still recover and able to fly straight enough to land safely
What about knuckles glide?
They’re a secret
Tails casually ripping off his tail in the thumbnail
kremit the frog Hi kremit!!!
kremit the frog why are you in every comment section of every video I watch?
I don't know if that's "casually", he doesn't look very happy about it.
EPICCC (͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
But of course!
Well then maybe Tails can fly.
But can you explain why he has infinite lives in the classic games?
Worth considering.
Beat me to the question lol 👏🏼
he did some 1 up farming before the level
Fast reincarnation.
Tails might be able to actually fly if he had a different technique. Tails can run 100 miles mph without the use of his tails. If he used his tails as the top helicopter blade and moved his legs in a biking motion he would not only be able to fly, but he would be able to actually go somewhere while flying.
So what is next?
*How does Knuckles dig?*
*How can Amy read Cards to see the Future?*
*How do Shadow`s shoes work?*
I really want to know if shadows shoes could work in real life
Main Game Knuckles can only dig using the shovel claw which functions as a shovel (generations bonus missions and sega heroes don't count)
How does sonic roll in place without scraping his skull off
How does knuckles glide? With what? His fists?
How about how does he TELEPORT
I think that’s a bit more important than his frickin SHOES
The real question is, *Does Tails Get Nauseous?*
One word Sonic Heroes
My heads spinning!
dustBoxed.isUpNORTH it was actually supposed to sounds like that
Reached 20m yet lol?
He gets _*SUBNAUSEOUS *_
@@MellowDoesYT That's like 5 words...
Increase your sense manufacturing skills, man
The thing I respect about Tails is that he always has the High Ground. Matpat, I expected, once underestimated Tail's power and is accordingly trying to discredit Tail's ability to fly. Classic hit-piece.
“It’s over Eggman! I have the high ground!”
Hey how was the fight with Shaggy?
@@lowie2658 One thing i remember about the rise of shaggy... is how quiet it was...
Hmm nice play mattpatt I have a challenge make a theory on (a gaming theory) on how Mario in Mario Galaxy on the cosmic clones on what are they made of
I have the high ground obi wan
Mat Pat, if you really did your research, you’d know that each one of Tails’s tails spin the opposite direction of the other. Therefore, he’d still be able to fly
Also he would only need to hover because he does have a propulsion mechanism in his shoes.
@super gamer *SEGA, USE MOTION BLUR!!!!!*
But wouldn't the tails collide and he'd fall? If he had the `motor` system in his tail then they'd be spinning the same way, if he didn't then he can't spin them without them getting intertwined. Also the tails wouldn't form one circle above/behind him if they were spinning the opposite direction, they'd be seperate circles.
no because then they would just keep slappin each other and just not working at all
This entire conversation is helping me give my character a reason to have trouble flying
Aaand I just realized that is super out of context
Matpat: Its like an eggbeater
Eggman: Oh no
Mettaton: OH YE-
Egg man: WHERE DID YOU COME FROM????
@Rick & roll he tried a "no!" "YES!" meme, but it fell through. A better character would have been koolaid man, since saying "oh yeah" after someone says "oh no" is his thing, but youngsters don't know about him. Only meme games like sans and imposter.
@Rick & roll No. The joke he was trying to make was the situational humor of responding to a passive negative with an aggressive positive. "Oh no" is what his joke was trying to respond to.
Lol makes sence
He desearves it ngl

Kitsunami, also a Sonic character and a fox. Tho he's only in comics, ppl rlly love the little fnnec
"Say, hypothetically, you're a blue hedgehog who was born in the 90's and runs at the speed of sound, but you still wanna show the world that you're hip and cool. Well, first of all, don't make a movie about your exploits. You're just gonna get a lot of hate for that sort of thing."
What I love about Game Theory is how applicable the given advice is.
Boi remember what happened w/ the Mario movie? **shudder*
How to prove all of sonic characters physics false:
Step 1 : prove sonic is slow
Step 2 : prove tails can’t fly
Step 3:
Prove knuckles is weak
Only Infinite is weak.
Emem theory busted
Step 4 : prove amy isn't in love with sonic.
The Joker of Earth-0801 yea
we could prove knuckles can't climb with those puny spikes, or they'd snap right off
I actually have a pretty valid theory about how tails can fly.
Tails has been considered a Kitsune, a Japanese mythical creature that is known to be a fox with nine tails. When Kitsune's are born, they are like normal foxes, but for each one-hundred years it will grow a tail as well as high intelligence. This explains Tails's intelligence and two tails. Kitsune's also can have mystical and magical powers, like shapeshifting, possessing, ect.
When Kitsune's reach nine-hundred years of age, that's when they are the most intelligent, and will grow a ninth tail in witch they will also turn as white as snow and be able to do even more magical things.
So I think the reason Tails can talk, fly and have high intelligence, is because he's a two-hundred year old kitsune.
Nice
That's interesting.
Pokemon Ninetails fan anyone? Just me? ok..
So THAT'S why he is so young, yet so smart.
200 year old Furry*
I've always argued with myself how unfair an advantage Sonic has over Eggman especially when Tails and Robotnik have the same IQ
"... Is everyone's favorite anthropomorphic fox"
Sad Melee Fox noises.
Starfox is pissed too!
Really... ya'll forgot about the Ol' G, Robin Hood??
Hayyyaaaaa
What about Krystal?

of course he can fly...

Oof
Why are you everywhere I go on UA-cam
He misspelled the hashtag. IM MAD
What I learned from this video:
Tails is one thicc boy
Also he can’t fly
yes he can, matt didn't do much research into vintage helicopters. tail rotors only apply to helicopters that have their power running through a central shaft. if you place jets at the tips of rotor blades, as is the case with the hiller hornet of the 1950's, then a tail rotor is not required, they are called tip jets.
@@commonsense-og1gz but im gonna guess there are no jets at the tips of Tails tails
@@oofernuggz6737 you wouldn't be able to tell due to his fur, and the method is really never given. the thing to keep in mind is that engines don't have to be placed at the tips, but compressed air as in this old video about the voljet. ua-cam.com/video/WMCmUTATaew/v-deo.html.

False. In nature, yellow foxes have been observed to be able to fly with their tails. You may even see flocks of them fly past your house during the winter

Simple answer: one tail spins one way, and the other tail spins the other way
Then they'd twist into each other.
Yeah proberbly
@@Marcelelias11 but then it will be like "the adventures of sonic the hedgehog" tails that he twists his tails and *boom* magically flies (make no sense right???)
Actually not, INSERT LONG PHYSICS EXPLANATION here but basically lift dosen’t work that way.
Tails can spin his tails so fast to the point where he can fly...
_That’s how gravity works._
Hmm, yes, quite.
*That's what he said*
***insert Danny2462 reference here***

Knuckles probably paid MattPat off in helping him make an ad that one time.
@@jaschabull2365 Well, MatPat *_DID_* say that a *_portion_* of the episode was brought by Google's Pixel 3. Not *_all_** of it.*
*_HOW CAN A PORCUPINE LIVE IN UGANDA ?_*
Knuckles has already been done, a looooong time ago, one of the first Game Theory sonic videos I think
And knuckles
Consider this: Tails' tails spin in opposite directions
Yeah, exactly! We've never seen a slow-mo of his tails spinning, and barely any footage of him flying from a birds eye view. So, it just may be true that his tails spin in opposite directions
then even if he had a magic butt/rotor to spin them, they would get tangled.
A-ha! But there are actually two rotors! One is an outer ring with one tail attached to it, the second is the inner ring with the other tail - they spin independently in opposite directions, and the tails never tangle!
RazzleDazzle114 What about three rotors? One that spins both of them, one that spins one, and the other spins the other. Dunno how'd that work but it sounds fun lol.
no, because when you look at the images etc its clear that the tails are on the same level, they can't spin in opposite directions
MatPat: All he's missing is another pair of tails!
Sonic Prime: *Hold my Chaos Cola.*
I imagine that tails farts really hard at an angle to make sure that he doesnt spin out of control
Hmmm....
Thunderpants!
Problems with mats theory
- assumes mobius is earth
-assumes tails can magically spin (not a problem it just counteracts his point about spinning the opposite direction)
- talks about how drones have two / four / 6 / 8 rotors to counteract the spinning in the opposite way
Since tails already has magical tails that spin, is it such a stretch to think one goes the other way?

_"Hey Sonic, ever call a coin toss? Let me give you a word of advice, always bet on Tails..."_
Beauvoir Ferril I believe the sonic twitter account may need a word with you...
SONIC FOR HIRE!
Oh God...
Beauvoir Ferril Eyyy!
I always do this
I want to mention that not all helicopters have tail rotors, there are helicopters with a NOTAR system. It means a No Tail Rotor, instead they use exhaust gasses to act as a tail rotor. They will look similar to other helicopters but with air blowing out the sides of the tail section, instead of rotor blades.
Basicall i think if he could fart constantly and control the direction of his rear to couteract the rotational force of his main rotor i think his flying plauseble, if your rules apply.
Great video hope you see this MatPat.
lol you got me. XD
Tails isn't Wario
I don't think sonic would wanna get carried by him anymore lol
i mean you ve seen dorkly's old man sonic? he clearly has a secondary rotor system

There ARE helicopters that get away with having only 1 rotor. Just look up “Helicopter without tail rotor”. They counteract the spinning by venting gas from the engines to make thrust. It is possible for tails to fly and control it. He just has to fart crazy hard. Personally I want to see the math on how much butt power it takes to stabilize a helicopter.
He
That sounds like a great theory idea. It could be the sequel to the wario fart one
lol
It would explain why in the cartoon they're so obsessed with constantly eating chilidogs...
So Sonic feed Tails Taco Bell before every level huh
I like how MatPat can just take any fictional thing, whip it in the creativity bender and make a 15 minute theory out of it.
Tails ain't broken, he was nerfed last patch.
I thought it was this patch...
Bro. Tails got nerfed a while ago.
I can't wait for SEGA to retcon in that Tails has little rotors in his shoes that stablize him. And when you zoom in on them the rotors say "EAT IT MATPAT" Please SEGA make my dreams come true.
tail rotors are only needed on helicopters where the power is coming from the central shaft. what matt failed to look for is the hiller hornet and other experimental helicopters from the 1950's which use tip jets on the rotor blade tips. helicopters with that propulsion don't need tail rotors.
No retcons plz
Makes sense though tbh
Tails have been shown on a few occations with jet shoes.
Dude he’s just trying to make content
According to all known laws of aviation tails should not be able to fly, its tails are to small to get its fat little body off the ground.Tails of course flies anyway because tails doesn't care what matpat thinks is impossible
Ya like jazz?
Angel Luevano there’s also that stuff with bees shouldn’t be able to fly but idk, they just kinda felt like to re enact an asdf movie sketch of ‘screw gravity’

Imagine tails just flailing his arms around to counteract the third law.
LOL
Tails:I'm gunna make it!
Falls to the ground in a ball of fire
Tails:I'll get you mattypatty!!!
lol
That wouldn't help, it's still an un-even number :/
hey ethan. I'm just gonna say this. that would in theory actually work.Nice thinking
HOLD UP WHAT IF HIS TWO TAILS ARE SPINNING IN OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS.
Exactly my thoughts
Tho I guess if his tails have the same length, it would yet again be physically impossible
Because of their locations, that would make them either wrap around each other or smack into each other and stop spinning. To be theoretically possible, they would need to be completely detached and spin around a shaft on his butt instead of actually connected to him, but even then that would change the physics to making him more of a single rotor helicopter, going back to the physics of the Chun Li video and making things even less likely
I said that too
TheLunaticOmega look at a chinook’s design, they have a dual rotor system that can get so close to each other they overlap. If tails can tilt his tails away from each other, he could spin them in opposite directions, therefore outsmarting Newton’s third law. He might have to work the tails a little harder, but the example Matpat gave with the 6000rpm drone negates that theory.
But hey, that’s just a theory
That is what I always thought was happening.
11:30 And that's why he has the Jet Anklet in Sonic Adventure.
Do a theory about how knuckles can climb walls and glide!!
Like so matpat can see!!
I mean, it kinda seems a bit self-explanatory for his climbing
Seeing how he has SPIKES on his knuckles to dig into the wall
But the gliding?
BURBUS BURBUS okay, yeah I have no idea about that
Ultra Hyper Extreme Spooky Boi *sigh* Are you stupid? The obvious question here to be asking is, is it physically possible to climb a wall using echidna spikes? That is what they are requesting a theory on, smartypants.
I thought knuckles just catches air in pouches and gains lift.
I think you should start a new series called mini theories where you answer lots of theories that aren't long enough for a full length episode
Make this happen.
That’s basically what he does on his TikTok. So far he’s only done one joke one but he has said that that’s what he wants to use his TikTok for
That's a great idea
Michael Amankwah-Baidu kind of hard to make mini theories with so much data possible
That's impossible every theory takes 5 years to explain.
Gravity isn't the same on Mobius.
Its acceleration is 34.5394736842 cm every second (Sonic 1, which I based this off of uses linear acceleration)
Yes, I actually calculated that
Wow

I actually have a pretty valid theory about how tails can fly.
Tails has been considered a Kitsune, a Japanese mythical creature that is known to be a fox with nine tails. When Kitsune's are born, they are like normal foxes, but for each one-hundred years it will grow a tail as well as high intelligence. This explains Tails's intelligence and two tails. Kitsune's also can have mystical and magical powers, like shapeshifting, possessing, ect.
When Kitsune's reach nine-hundred years of age, that's when they are the most intelligent, and will grow a ninth tail in witch they will also turn as white as snow and be able to do even more magical things.
So I think the reason Tails can talk, fly and have high intelligence, is because he's a two-hundred year old kitsune.
but Matpat.... Tails does have an even amount of tails. What if they're just rotating twice as fast, and each one is going a different direction?
I was thinking that too
But the tails are in the same spot and if they were to spin in opposite directions then they would hit each other because of how close they are to each other.
Take a look at how helicopters with coaxial or interlocking rotors work. You could accept his tails turning that way if you accept the basic premise that they can spin like rotor blades in the frist place, but that would in result in two distinct rotors, very visible to the naked eye.
Meaning: If they'd spin that way you could see them. But the way his tails are portrayed they clearly form one single rotor blade and not two seperate.
look at the animations they do
@Armed Wombat
And if you go back and check the games you can actually see at slower movement speeds that both tails do in fact rotate in the same direction.
Nice to see someone else mention interlocking rotors though. =)

Matt: *SONIC IS SLOW, TAILS CANT FLY*

Well, Sonic is canonicaly around 55 mph (by pixel measurements) and Tails COULD theoretically fly, but couldn't control it... at all...
Leave our childhoods alone internet I mean just look at the sonic fan base it's all sorts of weird I still can't forget that awful sanic meme!

No, because he doesn’t identify as an attack helicopter.

Hey Matpat can you do a video on how Shadow even skates I mean does he cheat with those rockets packed on his shoes. Is he even as fast as Sonic at all? How does even Shadow even control the flames under his feet?
Of course Shadow cheats lol. Him using rocket shoes is basically like Jet using his hoverboard. Shadow even increases his speed with chaos emeralds
Shadow can also teleport. How does he do that?
Mark W 6ix9ine likes lol #FREE69
@@emi_300 When I said "increases his speed with chaos emeralds" I was also covering "teleportation"
. How it worked was, originally Shadow could only "teleport" if he used an emerald. But around Sonic Battle, Shadow discarded his emerald.
By the way, chaos control is to basically create a space runway to travel around insanely fast. (sonic comments on this in SA2, he was the only one fast enough to track Shadow's speeds)
I want a film theory on how powerful Shaggy would be at 100% power, based on an average figured out by looking at all the memes
Shaggy only exhibits his true power when hypnotized though.
Pretty close to Steves Power. Not at it. Just close
Saying that Shaggy only uses a percentage of his power wrongly implies that there is a limit to his power.
@@pheonixfireblazer Right! Shaggy is Tier -1

Hey Matpat, I'm sure this will be lost in the sea of comments, but I have an important theory regarding Super Mario 64. Don't stop reading, because I have some juicy evidence to back it up. Here it goes: the villain of the game is Peach and not Bowser. This might be surprising, because it seems obvious that Bowser is the villain. However, my theory is that Peach used the star power to assume the form of Bowser. Consider this: what are the in-game effects of wielding the star power? First and foremost is the ability to change shape and warp reality, as seen with various bosses given portions of the star power. There's also the ability to speak to Mario "telepathically" without being physically present. Obviously, these both apply to Bowser. Let's see how they apply to Peach. Does she change shape/warp reality? Well, yes. At the end of the game, she appears floating outside the castle. How does she appear? The star taken from Bowser transforms into Peach. We're led to believe that Bowser locked Peach up somehow and that the star power is the key to release her, but what if Bowser being "defeated" was just Peach transforming into the star form and then back into Peach? That's not conclusive evidence, but I have more. There's also the matter of telepathic speech. Obviously, Bowser can do this, but what about other characters? There are a few others. For one, Big Boo's Haunt includes telepathic speech, presumably from the Boo(s) that had stars. There are occasional instructional popups in various worlds, which could just be from Lakitu himself. However, there's one other character that speaks telepathically: Peach. At various points in the game such as Peach's Secret Slide, Peach communicates telepathically to Mario, a power that seems to be reserved for wielders of star power. So it seems plausible that Peach could have been using the star power, but we'll need a little more evidence to prove that she did. My next piece of evidence is the note at the beginning of the game, which says, "Dear Mario: Please come to the castle. I've baked a cake for you. Yours truly, Princess Toadstool." Based on the timing and context of how this is displayed, it's assumed that it was sent and delivered shortly before the intro cutscene, and that Mario left immediately for Peach's castle. We know this because it says she already baked the cake, which she wouldn't say if the letter would take days to deliver. It almost reads like a text message in terms of its timing. There are a couple problems with this. If Peach's letter is to be believed, then in the short interval between the letter being sent and Mario's arrival, Bowser arrived at the castle, overtook the entire thing, found where the star power was hidden, used the star power to bring most of the paintings to life, entered the paintings to give stars to bosses and hide the rest, created various traps in the castle, and still had time to greet Mario at the door. That seems suspiciously like it would take a long time. I'll get back to that in a moment, but there's another problem with the letter: the cake. Peach had said she baked a cake for us, yet the cake is nowhere to be found in the castle. Even when we "rescue" Peach, she tells us that she's going to bake a cake for us, as in she hasn't even baked it yet. This confirms that at the very least, the cake is a lie. There was never any cake waiting for us at the castle. So why did she say there was? This brings me to the part where I tie it all together. Peach was bored and wanted some adventure, so she used the star power to transform into Bowser and bring all those worlds to life. Then, after visiting each one and giving some extra star power to the bosses, she wanted even more adventure. That's when she sent a letter to Mario promising cake if he comes to the castle. She lied to him to get him to come to the castle and play along with her game. She wanted another adventure so much that she deliberately set up a crisis for Mario to rescue her from. Peach played the whole thing off as if Bowser captured her when she was behind it all.
At least she followed through with the cake.
Woah. MatPat should definitely see this
You could post this at reddit.com/r/gametheory tho make it more likely he sees this edit: sorrys at Reddit.com/r/gametheorists
The cake truly is a lie. 🎂

What's wrong with him having a plane? To counter whatever point you may have, answer this: why live when we can all die
I mean, Sonic in a car is weird, since can run faster than it anyways, but Tails in a plane makes more sense, since flying on his own everywhere would be tiring, and planes are much more manuverable (and he can carry Sonic on it)
Sonic needs to rest his legs at some point and tails needs to rest his tails at some point and knuckles just knows how to glide he is on a floating island how else is he supposed to get down
