AI Follower in Sonic 1?

So, I'm creating a Sonic 1 hack, that has 2 characters (Sonic the Hedgehog and Mighty the Armadillo) and I have made them seperately playable, but I wanted to know if it would be possible to have Mighty follow Sonic (Like Tails in Sonic 2) as one of the modes of play?

On a side note: I have made Mighty's palette work with Sonic's (they share the same palette), so there'd be no palette conflicts if I were to do this. I appreciate any help, and I'm not begging for code, just some pointers/help if it even is possible.

 

Why don't you just look at how Sonic 2 does it and see if you can figure it out?

 

Easiest way would be to port Tails from either Sonic 2 (easier) or Sonic 3. Of course you'd have the AI's pitfalls though.

 

I wanted to do this, me too...
But not with Mighty, i want to do this with Ashuro the badger, (he loads the Sonic's palette too).
I don't know what is the code in the s2 disassembly.

 

I wanted to do this for my project a while back. Ended up getting it working pretty easily by doing it similarly to how Sonic 2 NA handled it, and then fixing up a few things myself to make it more polished. I also searched a bit and came across this post, which gave me some insight as to what changes I would have to implement for a proper AI player, which helped out a lot.

 

Well, if no one minds me pointing you in the right direction, I'd recommend starting here:
