Line 33: Line 33:
After that admittedly brutal scene, the character select returned and the save file with Tails was different; the character was no longer in the box but in the TV screen itself, which was now flickering with that red static. Tails' expression also changed, his eyes were black and bleeding, his orange fur had gone black and he looked understandably depressed. Call me sadistic, but that got me curious to see what Knuckles and Robotnik would look like, so I picked Knuckles’s file next.

The laugh came again and the screen cut to black again and stayed there for another handful of seconds. This time, the level said "YOU CAN'T RUN". This one had the same brainless level design from Hill Act 1, but it had the ground from Scrap Brain Zone and the sky looked like the main menu. In the bottom left, there was an X key with Knuckles’s hand, implying I could punch with him. Another highlight was, hands down, the music. It was one of Giygas’s theme songs in Earthbound. I think it was called "Giygas Stirs" or something like that. Progressing through the level, the screen started to flicker red static a couple times, after which several bloodstains appeared on the metallic ground. Slowly, but surely, what Kyle said about this game was starting to make more and more sense. Suddenly, evil Sonic (in hindsight, organic Metal Sonic is a mouthful) appeared right in front of Knux and the red static appeared again showing nothing but black screen with text and creepy voice saying "FOuNd YOu" after vanishing. That raised a question: Why isn’t THIS level named “Hide and Seek” if it’s implied that Sonic was looking for me here?

Anyway, there was another red static and I was back at controlling Knuckles, who now had a smirk on his face, and some high-pitched squealing from the Silent Hill's final boss was playing. Was this some kind of boss battle with the demon Sonic? Let’s fricken go! This conjunctivitis demon is getting punted back to Hell yesterday!
