==Character==
[[File:Sonic EXE sprite.png|thumb|right|175px|One of Sonic.exe's sprite taken from its titular game adaption.]]
''Sonic.exe'' is a fictional character that originated from a creepypasta story in 2011. The story describes Sonic the Hedgehog turning into a demonic and murderous version of himself after being possessed by an evil entity. Sonic.exe's character design is mostly based on the popular video game character ''[[wikipedia:Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic the Hedgehog]]'', but with slight changes to create a more demonic and sinister appearance. In most depictions of ''Sonic.exe'', his body is blue with red eyes, and he has razor-sharp teeth and claws. He navigates the world, manipulating its code and using dark illusions to torment people. His shape-shifting skills allow him to assume Sonic's form. In contrast to Sonic the Hedgehog, ''Sonic.exe'' embodies traits of wrath, sadism, and cruelty. He takes pleasure in repeatedly eliminating lives, positioning himself as the embodiment of pure evil, and views humanity as his ultimate plaything. In some versions of the story, Sonic.exe is depicted as having a distorted, pixelated appearance, as if he is glitching out of the game.
 
==Synopsis==
The ''Sonic.exe'' [[creepypasta]] was originally written by JC-the-Hyena on Creepypasta Wiki on August 9th, 2011. The creator revealed that the idea originated from a photoshopped screenshot of Sonic the Hedgehog's loading screen. This manipulated image portrayed the character with eye wounds while still retaining his mocking smile.<ref>https://www.creepypasta.com/sonic-exe/</ref>
 
In this story, the author Tom shares an experience involving a potentially glitched or hacked Sonic game. It all starts when the author receives an unusual CD in the mail from their friend Kyle. The CD is labeled "SONIC.EXE" and it comes with a note urgently pleading with the author to destroy it to prevent "evil" from pursuing them. Despite that, the author decides to give the game a try. As they play, a series of strange and unsettling events begin to unfold. Navigating through the game as different characters—Tails, Knuckles, and Robotnik—Tom encounters a sequence of unsettling occurrences. The game's world features dead animals, twisted-level designs, and glitchy gameplay, suggesting that something is seriously wrong. What's more, the characters' expressions seem to change from normal to fearful, as if they are breaking the fourth wall and trying to communicate directly with the player.
 
Suddenly, at one moment during the game, the computer shuts down unexpectedly, and the author is unable to restart it no matter what he tries. As the author struggles to remove the game from their computer, they encounter resistance as if the game has become stuck in the system. Eventually, Tom manages to restore power to the computer and is met with a whisper-like voice from behind. The voice urges him to "keep this interesting." Upon turning to investigate, he saw a sight of Sonic plushie sitting on their bed, its smile covered by bloodstains under its eyes.

'''Sonic.exe''' is a [[creepypasta]] [[game]] created by the game developer MY5TCrimson. The game opens with the opening screen from the original ''[[wikipedia:Sonic the Hedgehog (1991 video game)|Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' but after a short time, the screen temporarily becomes an "evil version" of the original. Players then come to another screen where they have to press Enter.
'''Sonic.exe''' is a [[creepypasta]] [[game]] created by the game developer MY5TCrimson. The game starts with the main intro reminiscent of the classic 1991 ''[[wikipedia:Sega Genesis|Sega Genesis]]'' title, ''[[wikipedia:Sonic the Hedgehog (1991 video game)|Sonic the Hedgehog]]''. However, this intro is changed by a sudden shift in scenery. Sonic changes into a form of himself with pitch-black eyes and fiery red pupils. The game then cuts into a character selection screen, giving players the choice of three characters. Each character can be unlocked progressively in the order they're introduced.
 
===Tails route===
[[File:Tailssonicexe.png|thumb|left|150px|Tails in "HILL" area.]]
If [[wikipedia:Tails (Sonic the Hedgehog)|Tails]] is chosen, players start on Act 1 as Tails in the "HILL" area. The background features a reversed version of the music that would be used in Robotnik's level.<ref>Contrary to popular beliefs, the music is not the reversed version of the Green Hill Zone theme.</ref> The level mirrors the original [[wikipedia:Green Hill Zone|Green Hill Zone]], but now rendered as an empty space. Players can go left or right, though the left path offers no significant events. Proceeding forward reveals a gruesome scene—lifeless animal corpses hanging from trees, with their intestines gruesomely exposed. After encountering dead animals, the music abruptly stops. Soon after, Tails encounters Sonic with closed eyes. A cutscene unfolds as Tails approaches Sonic amidst increasing static, accompanied by eerie white noise. As Sonic's eyes open, the screen fades to black, and the text appears: "Hello, Do You Want To Play With Me?" This marks the beginning of a hide-and-seek level. Tails finds himself in a burning Angel Island Zone, with flames in the background. As players progress, a scene unfolds requiring them to outrun Sonic. Escaping proves inefficient, as ''Sonic.exe'' catches and kills Tails in a cutscene where Tails cries, accompanied by a scream from the 1988 film ''[[wikipedia:Slugs (1988 film)|Slugs]]''.
 
===Knuckles route===
With Tails' fate taken by ''Sonic.exe'', players assume control of [[wikipedia:Knuckles the Echidna|Knuckles]], who can punch by using the "X" key. The game shifts to "YOU CAN'T RUN", set in the [https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Scrap_Brain_Zone Scrap Brain Zone]. This echoes Tails' experience, with static effects and a blood-stained terrain.  ''Sonic.exe'' would then appear in front of Knuckles, with the ominous message: "FOUND YOU." This triggers a battle against ''Sonic.exe'', who teleports behind Knuckles whenever approached. Despite Knuckles' efforts, a cutscene plays wherein Knuckles appears fatigued, and Sonic approaches behind him, ultimately ending his life.
 
===Robotnik route===
The game shifts to [[wikipedia:Doctor Eggman|Dr. Robotnik]] as the last playable character. Appearing in a Marble Zone world labeled "...," the level is set in a castle with walls covered in blood and ghostly blue flames. As Robotnik walks down the staircase, the scene becomes erratic, culminating in Sonic.exe's intervention. An abrupt static screen transitions to an image of ''Sonic.exe'' with the text "I AM GOD" followed by an eerie silence. Following this, the game ended with a game over screen. This scene depicts ''Sonic.exe'' moving past mutilated Knuckles, Tails, and Robotnik.<ref>This game over the screen can only be found in older versions of the game.</ref> An effort to escape triggers another image of ''Sonic.exe'' grinning with the phrase "I AM GOD". The screen shifts to an image featuring Japanese text and Sonic.exe in the background, accompanied by an eerie melody from the game's song Crytopia.<ref>youtube.com/watch?v=fkDyvfYgEOM</ref>
===Secret ending route===
[[File:Tailssecretending.png|thumb|right|200px|As Tails, the unfamiliar level can be accessed by going through the left side of the screen after the music stops.]]
While playing as Tails, progress until you come upon the remains of deceased animals strewn across the ground and among the palm trees and run to take the left path. Navigating through this will guide you onto an unfamiliar level. In this location, you'll spot Sonic positioned below. Upon making contact with Sonic, more static follows, accompanied by the message "The fire awaits." Subsequently, Tails returns to HILL. As you proceed left, you'll notice a black ring that you can collect.


=== Act One ===
When assuming the role of Knuckles, proceed along the same leftward path as Tails. Upon reaching a sizeable pit, jumping into it sets off a series of glitches alongside the message "Don't like playing by the rules?" Keep moving forward to the FFFFFFFFF course, where Knuckles encounters a succession of photosensitive-inducing screens. Navigating through these distorted words ultimately leads to a definitive message: "YOU'RE NEXT" followed by static. Knuckles subsequently returns to "YOU CAN'T RUN" and continues to the left, discovering a second black ring that they can collect.
The player now plays as Tails the Fox. The player walks through a happy world until coming across a trail of doom and destruction. If players continue to follow the path, they reach Sonic who wants to play a game with the player. a game of life or death. The player can try to run away, but it will not work.


=== Act Two ===
Robotnik begins by walking to the right and then proceeds to the left, following a route akin to that of Tails and Knuckles. As you opt for the left path, static emerges, leading Robotnik to an unnamed course. Text becomes visible: "Why do you persist in fighting? My game has only just begun." Further static follows, and Robotnik returns to "...". Move left once more to locate the third black ring, available for you to collect.
The player now plays as Knuckles the Echidna. The player ends up in a strange world without trees, grass, or animals. After a while, the player's screen begins to flicker with blood everywhere. After a while, the player will reach Sonic, who will lock the player into some sort of invisible cage.


=== Act ? (Possibly “Act 3”) ===
After obtaining all 3 black rings, the game wraps up and transitions to an image that brings to mind the Japanese text, now translated into English. The text conveys:
The player now plays as is Dr. Eggman. The player is in a castle-like building which gets darker with every floor until the player fades away in the darkness. The game ends with a picture of Sonic with "'''I AM GOD'''" written below. Then, a screen with flames on it appears with the song ''Crytopia''.


==Spirits of Hell==
{{Quote|"There is a way to release ourselves. A spell to obtain our souls once more. But we must speak it — but when we speak — No sound. We are all deaf. So failure is inevitable. And I regret ever entering my internal bet with the devil inside of me. Immortality vs. soul snatching. Gary Crook vs. Jake Shanley. Ambition is overrated."}}
Created in 2018, now in a more extensive version, now also with the option to make Tails, Knuckles and Dr. Eggman survive at the end of the game, taking many more stages and more killing scenes, with several alternate endings. But it has also changed where the scenes of scares occur in certain phases.


== Spoilers Alert! ==
Following this, the display shifts to an unnamed static course, and the player assumes control of the authentic Sonic. Advancing to the right, they will come across the phrase: "You had a chance to complay, but now you've come too far." Upon finishing the course, final words emerge: "The time has come for your soul to join theirs." A close-up of ''Sonic.exe'' appears, and Sonic vanishes (his fate remains unknown), followed by a malevolent, distorted laugh. Japanese text emerges amid the static.
<u>NOTE</u>: The following description may contain '''spoilers''' for Spirits of Hell.
{{SpoilerStart}}


#In the first solo stage of Tails, you will get a coconut tree with evil Sonic hanging upside down, if you jump on top, cut to the scene of evil Sonic jumping on the screen with a loud scream.
===Sequel===
##At the same stage, if the Tails see the dead animals and return to their plane without getting the Green Ring, the Tails will begin to walk slow and out of nowhere, Evil Sonic will go behind Tails, wherein case he picks up, evil Sonic jump to the screen with a loud scream next.
{{Main|Sally.exe}}
##In the next stage of Tails, in that part where Tails has to run to not get caught by Evil Sonic while playing the song of "breathlessness" in the aquatic stages of Sonic, where Tails seems to run automatically, but when the music ends, you have the option of jumping on a terrain separated by an abyss not to be caught by Evil Sonic. But if you do not jump in time, you fall into the abyss, where when you reach the bottom of the abyss, Evil Sonic will appear to kill you in the end. And you also have the option to stop running when that song is finished, but if you do, Evil Sonic knocks you down and then appears and kills you, where suddenly the screen turns dark with a scream out loud from Tails, but at least Evil Sonic does not jump off the screen here.
#In the second solo stage of Dr. Eggman, if you can not get within 30 seconds until the end of the scene, Evil Sonic will then wait until you reach the endpoint, where he will then jump on the screen with a loud scream.
#In the stage where only Tails and Dr. Eggman survived, it starts with Dr. Eggman's laboratory filled with fog, with the option of opening the windows to get out of the fog or no risk. If you open the windows, after all the fog is gone, you will see the Evil Sonic that will go to Dr. Eggman, jumping to the screen with a loud scream at the end, before going to kill the Tails afterward.
#There are also secret black rings which you have to pick up. It initially is completely useless, but in case you only have one survivor, after completing the "Hidden Palace" phase and finding out why Sonic became a demon and started killing everyone, the next stage where goes your last survivor character, will be attacked by Evil Sonic and in case you have not got the black ring, it will kill the last survivor. From there will appear the screen of all shown as undead before the Sonic Evil drops to screen with a loud scream and ends with the cliffhanger of the game.

Character

One of Sonic.exe's sprite taken from its titular game adaption.

Sonic.exe is a fictional character that originated from a creepypasta story in 2011. The story describes Sonic the Hedgehog turning into a demonic and murderous version of himself after being possessed by an evil entity. Sonic.exe's character design is mostly based on the popular video game character Sonic the Hedgehog, but with slight changes to create a more demonic and sinister appearance. In most depictions of Sonic.exe, his body is blue with red eyes, and he has razor-sharp teeth and claws. He navigates the world, manipulating its code and using dark illusions to torment people. His shape-shifting skills allow him to assume Sonic's form. In contrast to Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic.exe embodies traits of wrath, sadism, and cruelty. He takes pleasure in repeatedly eliminating lives, positioning himself as the embodiment of pure evil, and views humanity as his ultimate plaything. In some versions of the story, Sonic.exe is depicted as having a distorted, pixelated appearance, as if he is glitching out of the game.

Synopsis

The Sonic.exe creepypasta was originally written by JC-the-Hyena on Creepypasta Wiki on August 9th, 2011. The creator revealed that the idea originated from a photoshopped screenshot of Sonic the Hedgehog's loading screen. This manipulated image portrayed the character with eye wounds while still retaining his mocking smile.[1]

In this story, the author Tom shares an experience involving a potentially glitched or hacked Sonic game. It all starts when the author receives an unusual CD in the mail from their friend Kyle. The CD is labeled "SONIC.EXE" and it comes with a note urgently pleading with the author to destroy it to prevent "evil" from pursuing them. Despite that, the author decides to give the game a try. As they play, a series of strange and unsettling events begin to unfold. Navigating through the game as different characters—Tails, Knuckles, and Robotnik—Tom encounters a sequence of unsettling occurrences. The game's world features dead animals, twisted-level designs, and glitchy gameplay, suggesting that something is seriously wrong. What's more, the characters' expressions seem to change from normal to fearful, as if they are breaking the fourth wall and trying to communicate directly with the player.

Suddenly, at one moment during the game, the computer shuts down unexpectedly, and the author is unable to restart it no matter what he tries. As the author struggles to remove the game from their computer, they encounter resistance as if the game has become stuck in the system. Eventually, Tom manages to restore power to the computer and is met with a whisper-like voice from behind. The voice urges him to "keep this interesting." Upon turning to investigate, he saw a sight of Sonic plushie sitting on their bed, its smile covered by bloodstains under its eyes.

Sonic.exe (MY5TCrimson game)

Sonic.exe is a creepypasta game created by the game developer MY5TCrimson. The game starts with the main intro reminiscent of the classic 1991 Sega Genesis title, Sonic the Hedgehog. However, this intro is changed by a sudden shift in scenery. Sonic changes into a form of himself with pitch-black eyes and fiery red pupils. The game then cuts into a character selection screen, giving players the choice of three characters. Each character can be unlocked progressively in the order they're introduced.

Tails route

Tails in "HILL" area.

If Tails is chosen, players start on Act 1 as Tails in the "HILL" area. The background features a reversed version of the music that would be used in Robotnik's level.[2] The level mirrors the original Green Hill Zone, but now rendered as an empty space. Players can go left or right, though the left path offers no significant events. Proceeding forward reveals a gruesome scene—lifeless animal corpses hanging from trees, with their intestines gruesomely exposed. After encountering dead animals, the music abruptly stops. Soon after, Tails encounters Sonic with closed eyes. A cutscene unfolds as Tails approaches Sonic amidst increasing static, accompanied by eerie white noise. As Sonic's eyes open, the screen fades to black, and the text appears: "Hello, Do You Want To Play With Me?" This marks the beginning of a hide-and-seek level. Tails finds himself in a burning Angel Island Zone, with flames in the background. As players progress, a scene unfolds requiring them to outrun Sonic. Escaping proves inefficient, as Sonic.exe catches and kills Tails in a cutscene where Tails cries, accompanied by a scream from the 1988 film Slugs.

Knuckles route

With Tails' fate taken by Sonic.exe, players assume control of Knuckles, who can punch by using the "X" key. The game shifts to "YOU CAN'T RUN", set in the Scrap Brain Zone. This echoes Tails' experience, with static effects and a blood-stained terrain. Sonic.exe would then appear in front of Knuckles, with the ominous message: "FOUND YOU." This triggers a battle against Sonic.exe, who teleports behind Knuckles whenever approached. Despite Knuckles' efforts, a cutscene plays wherein Knuckles appears fatigued, and Sonic approaches behind him, ultimately ending his life.

Robotnik route

The game shifts to Dr. Robotnik as the last playable character. Appearing in a Marble Zone world labeled "...," the level is set in a castle with walls covered in blood and ghostly blue flames. As Robotnik walks down the staircase, the scene becomes erratic, culminating in Sonic.exe's intervention. An abrupt static screen transitions to an image of Sonic.exe with the text "I AM GOD" followed by an eerie silence. Following this, the game ended with a game over screen. This scene depicts Sonic.exe moving past mutilated Knuckles, Tails, and Robotnik.[3] An effort to escape triggers another image of Sonic.exe grinning with the phrase "I AM GOD". The screen shifts to an image featuring Japanese text and Sonic.exe in the background, accompanied by an eerie melody from the game's song Crytopia.[4]

Secret ending route

As Tails, the unfamiliar level can be accessed by going through the left side of the screen after the music stops.

While playing as Tails, progress until you come upon the remains of deceased animals strewn across the ground and among the palm trees and run to take the left path. Navigating through this will guide you onto an unfamiliar level. In this location, you'll spot Sonic positioned below. Upon making contact with Sonic, more static follows, accompanied by the message "The fire awaits." Subsequently, Tails returns to HILL. As you proceed left, you'll notice a black ring that you can collect.

When assuming the role of Knuckles, proceed along the same leftward path as Tails. Upon reaching a sizeable pit, jumping into it sets off a series of glitches alongside the message "Don't like playing by the rules?" Keep moving forward to the FFFFFFFFF course, where Knuckles encounters a succession of photosensitive-inducing screens. Navigating through these distorted words ultimately leads to a definitive message: "YOU'RE NEXT" followed by static. Knuckles subsequently returns to "YOU CAN'T RUN" and continues to the left, discovering a second black ring that they can collect.

Robotnik begins by walking to the right and then proceeds to the left, following a route akin to that of Tails and Knuckles. As you opt for the left path, static emerges, leading Robotnik to an unnamed course. Text becomes visible: "Why do you persist in fighting? My game has only just begun." Further static follows, and Robotnik returns to "...". Move left once more to locate the third black ring, available for you to collect.

After obtaining all 3 black rings, the game wraps up and transitions to an image that brings to mind the Japanese text, now translated into English. The text conveys:

And I regret ever entering my internal bet with the devil inside of me. Immortality vs. soul snatching. Gary Crook vs. Jake Shanley. Ambition is overrated."


Following this, the display shifts to an unnamed static course, and the player assumes control of the authentic Sonic. Advancing to the right, they will come across the phrase: "You had a chance to complay, but now you've come too far." Upon finishing the course, final words emerge: "The time has come for your soul to join theirs." A close-up of Sonic.exe appears, and Sonic vanishes (his fate remains unknown), followed by a malevolent, distorted laugh. Japanese text emerges amid the static.
