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
Anyway, there was another red static and I was back
Sonic was right in front Knuckles in what appeared to be black smoke. I made the echidna go to Sonic and punch him, but he vanished to the right of the screen before I could even land a hit. This kept happening over and over and over and it went from exciting to annoying and boring faster than you can say “Sonic SPEED!”.
Line 45:
I was brought back to the main menu and Knuckles was in the preview screen now. his red fur had darkened to a wine-like red, his dreadlocks were dripping with blood and his eyes were black and bleeding too, and he had an angry expression. I guess he, too, was ashamed of himself, huh? Like “Dude, I still had energy and all I did was kneel and... mourn? The heck is wrong with me? God dang it..”
One glass of water later, I selected Robotnik next. I still thought that was wacky playing as him... then again,
The level title appeared again and this time it said "...". I was in some kind of hallway, didn't really look like it was from any classic Sonic game, though it has the 16-bit style; the floor was shiny and checkered, the walls were a dark
The doctor looked a bit less nervous then Tails, but he did have a sweat drop in his forehead. When moving, he did his usual running animation (The one we see before the final bosses in Sonic 2 and 3) as we continued going through the hallway. As the doc went down some stairs, the walls have gotten more reddish and the red torches were now blue. Then we landed onto another hallway, this one
And then I heard that Kefka laugh again. I was so concentrated in traversing the stairs that the laugh actually managed to scare me for once, heh. The music abruptly ceased, the walls turned black and the torches' flame were gone (either that, or they were a black flame now and blended with the walls). After a few steps, Sonic popped right in front of Dr. Robotnik, just like with Tails and Knuckles, and then YET ANOTHER red static. It lasted for about.. 15 or so seconds and then it showed me an unexpected image: a really realistic pic of demon Sonic staring right at the screen. Not gonna lie, he looked SICK AS HELL (pun not entirely intended): he had the black/red eyes I’ve gotten used to (except with a little less blood under them), a wide grin with some fangs, much like the Werehog's teeth except more vicious-looking, and last but not least, his fur was really on point. Too bad I could barely see blue in the fur, but still. Whoever drew that should start a career as a hyper realistic artist.
Line 55:
In hindsight, I should have downloaded and played this on my phone, this way I could have taken a screenshot of that picture and made it my wallpaper.

Then the screen flickered with red static again thrice, and on the 3rd time I heard Kefka
Ok, now I mean it: What on Earth could that possibly mean?? Like I get it, Tails and Knuckles are powerful and Dr. Eggman is a genius, so killing them isn't an easy feat. But, does it REALLY take "being God" to do so? Besides, God wouldn't kill anyone, so you're Satan at best. Well, anyways, more red static showed up on my screen. However, this one in particular was so loud I could hear it from my headphones, even though they weren't in my ears. What's with this game and obnoxious loudness?
Then it stopped and showed nothing but black screen. As I sat there looking at it, one last dubbed text came up, which said "Ready for Round 2, Tom?" However, the demon voice stopped after the word "2". Another image popped up, this time it looked like a more detailed red sky, an angel halo with wings, demon Sonic grinning and Tails fleeing and crying in fear. It had a text that said "GAME OVER", the same crappy fire effect from the Hide and Seek level and the US version of Sonic CD's game over theme played in reverse, just to add some more to the creepy factor.
Line 65:
To finish it off, there was a black and red background with a Japanese text that read:
''"There is a way to free yourself. A spell to get our soul again. But we have to speak it, but when we speak there is no sound. We are all hearing impaired. Therefore, failure is inevitable. And I ever regret getting into my inner bet.<br>The devil and immortality in me vs. soul snatching<br>Jake Shanley vs. Gary Look<br>Ambition is overrated
Welp, that was Sonic.exe. Kyle, if you're reading this, here's my verdict: -10/10. Would only play it again to get that cool Sonic image. But I do have a question for you: How does this game know my name?
(In the comments, let me know how many times I used the words "Sonic", "after", "and then", "laugh", "screen" and "demon")
