If you break it, you will see a brief glitch, which will not effect the game. You will see everything return, with one small difference. You will still have Super Sonic's appearance, but he plays like Sonic with regular speed, normal jumps, etc. Tails, however, has Super Sonic's power and cannot be 'hurt'. This will last for however many rings you had when you hit the television; begin when you have at least 100 rings. Then, hurt yourself so that you lose all your rings and you will lose Super Sonic's appearance. Then, use the trick to get fifty rings again and jump. You should now have Super Sonic and Super Tails.
